As we taper off toward the end of a long, cold and snowy season, I can't help but the think of the nostalgia that came with this winter. In speaking with various people, it seems that many of us felt the same: "It felt like the winters of my childhood". Indeed it did: Bundling up. Snow Days. Snow banks taller then me. Laughter. Not a care in the world.
That part, though: "Not a care in the world", is the key statement that has changed for us. We are older. We have responsibilities. There's stress, anxiety, depression. It feels like the weight of the world is actually just too much.
I had originally planned to release this as the Autumn 2024 seasonal box, and I was ecstatic about it, because the theme felt very dear to me. Then worklife just became too busy, and holiday prep took over. I didn't have the capacity to put all my energy and love into the products-- and if i couldn't do that, there was no way I was going to release a special offering that was "half assed".
Then all of a sudden, I got the message from my trusty intuition: "Now. People need this NOW". It was clear. We were in thick of the winteriest-winter we'd had in a long time. Our SAD symptoms are probably at their peak, and this world feels like it's losing hope.
I can't fix you or the world, but I can try to help. I can try to create a small ritual for you where you can slow down and tend to your body and mind. I can turn to nature; to my garden and my flowers; to the sunshine and to the bees. I can work with them to bring you a little bit of magic, a smile, a deep breath... a release.
Think of golden yellow flowers that look like the sun: Calendula, Goldenrod, Chamomile, St. John's Wort, Sea Buckthorn Berry.
Think of botanicals that tend to our minds and our emotional hearts; that work to reignite our flames: Rose, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Tulsi.
Think of the Bee. How, as children, we fear these tiny creatures, but as we mature and gain more knowledge, we see them as a vital part of our ecosystem. How awestruck are you by the magic they produce? Honey, Beeswax, Propolis, Honeycomb.
There is the "Maternal Bee", who collects pollen and nectar, brining it to the hive to provide nourishment. Then there is the "Magnetic Bee", that collects sensory experiences. She shares the glory of the food source with the hive; kind of like storing and sharing the energy, allowing the ecstasy to move through us. ... the sun, the scent and the colour.
So, in a way, like the Magnetic Bee, I am bringing the physical and energetic benefits of these botanicals and bee products to you.
Sun-loving herbs are capable of grounding us, lifting our spirits and tending to our egos by strengthening and/or balancing our self-image. At the same time, these herbs offer the physical benefits to regenerate our skin; to provide moisture and warmth after months of the cold, dry air that has removed so much life from our skin.
Yes, you are treating your skin with these creations, but there is more to the tiny rituals contained in these bottles. You are connecting with the plant allies, and with the tiny, powerful energy of the Bee.
