sip and shed: making space for what’s next
Share
as september winds down, the light grows quieter, the days shorter. just as the trees shed their leaves, we’re called to release what no longer supports us. this issue brings you gentle rituals with rose hips, sage, and calendula to help you let go and reset for the season ahead.
morning glow rituals
warm rose hip and sage tea
a blend that supports circulation, lymph movement, and emotional release. sip slowly in the morning with a quiet pause for reflection.
