Cozy Autumn Soup

 Hello Vital Beings 💞

I hope you are doing great and are enjoying the beautiful weather. It is hard to believe that I am attending a THANKSGIVING potluck tomorrow. How can that be?! And guess what I'm bringing???


COZY AUTUMN SOUP! As promised, here is that recipe. I hope you are still able to enjoy it during this extended fall season <3 

I followed this recipe: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/cozy-autumn-wild-rice-soup/ with a few modifications. 

I cooked the soup in my favorite burnt-orange colored ceramic lined cast iron pan. 😉 I modified the "Old Bay Seasoning" with the below "Old Bay Seasoning" recipe (with a couple modifications).

I didn't grind the bay leaves (I was worried they wouldn't grind up all the way and they are pointy and sharp and I didn't want anyone experiencing that discomfort. So, instead, I put a couple of dashes of File powder (for gumbo soups) in it instead. You do not need much but it gives the earthy tone/taste to the soup. 

Happy Holidays!

Retreat Info/Update! Thursday evening- Dream Circle

Hello Vital Beings 💖 I hope you are doing well! Can you believe it?! Only 17 days left until our retreat! I am very much looking forward to meeting/seeing you soon.  I have another exciting addition to our lovely weekend. This comes very timely being as I had an unusual event happen to me on Friday evening/morning. I was certain that I was "awake" but my body didn't let me move. I felt lucid but could not "control" the scene in my "dream". I was aware of the situation happening but couldn't do anything about it, and oh was I trying! I was certain that there was a tube of water flowing into coffee mug that was my night stand (I had tea before bed). I was trying to move the tube to another cup so the one cup didn't over flow onto my night stand, but, my actions were very limited and restricted. I was trying to move the tube of flowing water and was being "held" from control over my own body! It kind of "let loose" and then I ...

INTEGRATION - Savasana

 Hello Vital Beings 💖 WOW! How has it been TWO WEEKS since our retreat? What an amazing weekend that was! Thank you so much for trusting me to create this experience for you. I'm incredibly honored and grateful.  I apologize for my delay with this message. I have been thinking about you all and have wanted to connect over these past couple weeks. As promised, I will be sharing the playlists, recipes, surveys, etc. More blogs to follow with that info.  Until then, I wanted to share. I have been thinking a lot about INTEGRATION. In yoga we call this Savasana. Our final resting pose is where we integrate and assimilate the work that we have done in our yoga practice. Allowing our mind, body, and spirit to process the physical work of our muscles, the mental obstacles we have overcome, and the energetic and spiritual shifts that take place in our practice. These are all interconnected within the mind, body, and spirit. As we go through our practice, we open our energe...
