Beverages, alchemy, rose everything
A list of resources that are enriching and entertaining me, which I want to pass along to you!
I'm in the midst of enrollment for my Rose & Sword group mentorship program, so I'm thinking a lot about my obsession with roses, everything I continue to learn from these two teachers, and generally how to choose powerfully in this season of my life.
I share this list in the hope you will feel enlivened by something you hear, read or try for yourself.
[podcasts] The Sage & The Song 🌱
Four episodes I curated for you that I still find incredibly potent to contemplate and revisit:
(Ep 66) The *real* plant medicine
2 major misconceptions around psychedelics and an invitation to make a new friend: apple / spotify
(Ep 71) My Rosary Apprenticeship
How Mother Mary and the rose are helping me redefine this ancient practice - apple / spotify
(Ep 59) Pick up your sword
On the power of mind, and honing your ability to make wise, swift decisions - apple / spotify

Choosing powerfully and other contemplations on making good decisions - apple / spotify
[new article] Year of the Fire Hose 💦
Not a typo! I found this piece both hilarious and sobering to write. Thoughts?
[recent class replay] Time is Our Ally ⏳
I actually promoted this free class as "Time is Your Ally" but realized the day-of that the title was all wrong! We are in this reckoning with time together. We can choose (powerfully) to perceive time as an ally rather than an enemy. Give it a watch or listen this week!
[video] "Mastering Alchemy" Favorite Energy Tool | The Rose 🌹
Modern day alchemists use the rose as an energetic tool for guidance, boundaries, spacial awareness and clearing the field around them. We play with this in R&S and I've been amazed at how effective it is.
[kitchen items] Rose everything 💗
My love affair with roses has taken over my kitchen. A few items I always have on hand:
Cortas Rose Water (add to sparkling water, baked goods, chia pudding, libations, coffee...)
Organic rose petals + hips (simmer 2 tbsp each for 10 min for a quart of vitamin-C packed tea; sprinkle petals on anything)
Anima Mundi Rose powder (add to coffee, matcha, tea, any hot beverage)
[oldie but goodie video] Liquid Enlightenment 🍵
My friends call me The Beverages Queen 👑 —I hosted my friend Kaylee last Sunday and served her no less than 3 classy delicious drinks. Last summer solstice I was inspired to offer this... cooking class? I don't know what got into me 😂 But it was a ball! I love an idea out of left field. I even made a mini recipe book which you'll find for free with lots more ideas on how to infuse rose into your kitchen and generally uplevel your beverages game.
May these ideas provide insight, nourishment, and a deeper connection with our Mother.
