Join us at .sage.shop on 11/3 for a very special tea ceremony.

We'll be working with the power of Pu-erh tea to ground and connect ourselves with the root chakra.

Come to learn more about the medicine of this fermented tea leaf and to understand its connection with the roots of our being.

Spaces are limited to 10 seats to maintain an intimate event. Please be sure to secure your space in advance! For more details, you can find the event in our bïø

It feels like it's time to share this life update... after 3 wonderful, painstaking, educational, exciting, wild years, I have decided to take a break from The Deserted Forest.
My goodness I have loved building this business. Full of trials and amazing highs, it has been such a blast and an honor to share my passion with the people and communities I was able to reach. But damn building a business is not easy, and somewhere along the way I feel I've lost a little sight of my original purpose. So it's time to press the pause button while I shift my energy and focus onto some other projects that have blessed my life, and recenter on my purpose.
I recently began working for Pocono Organics, giving me the opportunity to expand my knowledge of organic and regenerative farming; while also enrolled full time to earn my bachelor's in holistic nutrition. Piece by piece we are assembling the puzzle of this life!
It's about experiences, education, and growing every step of the way. While there is definitely a part of me that is aching with the thought of setting down my tea company, I am excited to open the door for new blessings and opportunities. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way, you're the reasons I was able to make this dream come true, & I can't wait to share my dreams again when the time is right 💕
✌️ ❤️ 🍵

Blessed Ostara & Happy Equinox everyone 💖 Thank you to all who were able to attend our tea ceremony on Sunday! I wanted to leave a few key take aways from our gathering for anyone who might be interested...

☀️🌓Ostara is the celebration of the balance of light & dark, the turning of the wheel towards the return of the Sun & warmer days 🌷

We use this day to celebrate the release of what we are leaving behind us, what can be left with the cold winter months, the thing that no longer serves us...
& we begin to welcome in all that nourishes us. What encourages us to grow into who we are trying to become? 🌱

Qualities in your food & herbs that can be supportive through this transition are bitters, nutritives, detoxifying, uplifting & grounding medicines.

Some examples are:

Dandelion (*leaf* // root)
Nettles 🌿
Passionflower
Yarrow 💮
Ashwaganda
Green tea 🍵
Chamomile or St John's Wort 🌼

*~*~*~*

Final thoughts to leave you with:
(You can use this as a journal prompt, or simply something to think on...)

Who is it that I am growing into this year?

What am I leaving behind, what is it that no longer serves me?

What are the things that nourish & encourage my growth?

*~*~*~*

Don't forget to ground yourself during transitional times!! ++Bonus points for getting outside and sticking your toes in the Earth as much as you can 🌎 ☘️

Happy Spring 🌷 😊🍵
