ForResting the Soul

Fascia release tools can look allll kinds of ways. I spent some time laying in several different positions on this 35 lb weight, on my bed with a yoga towel folded over the top. Had a release in my sacrum that I felt and heard in my skull. We’ll talk about this a little more this Friday morning at 7 AM in class. If you’ve not registered yet, let us know you’re planning to be there.

This is very thought-provoking! 🤔

Ethnobotanist: "We're Losing Shamanic Wisdom" — The Secrets Of The Amazon | Mark Plotkin Ph.D. #539 Aubrey Marcus Podcast · Episode

So, I found myself spontaneously sharing the story last night of how this business name came to be back in the first part of 2023.

In a room full of 15 like-minded and supportive souls, I felt comfortable sharing because I listened to this podcast Caroline Bogema shared with me. Because I felt validated, THEN I felt courageous enough to be vulnerable and share my voice in public. Isn’t it interesting how regardless of how strong our intuitive feelings are, we often wait for the external validation before showing up in ways we know we need to.

I began operating underneath the name ForResting the Soul instead of my name because I had the opportunity to meet the spirit, the frequency, of cacao in Costa Rica alongside my dear friend Amy S Wallace in the middle of the jungle.

While I’ve always been very drawn to nature, I was developing an awareness around our ability to hear plants and their pleas to us to reconnect with them, our planet, our home, our source of life and healing.

I didn’t know how this would look nor do I claim to have all the answers, but I know what I’ve experienced and what I’m witnessing in many others. Things are continuing to unfold in beautifully organic ways the more I release my grip on perceived control….as if we have any real control over anything but ourselves. Even then, it’s questionable at times. Ask the employees who know me at Andy’s. 😂

Anyway, I genuinely hope you take a moment to listen to this podcast. Not because it’s an interview with a three-time board certified MD who has WAY more credibility than me, but because he even discusses something I have felt very strongly and am raising awareness about regarding addiction, coherence and community. I even presented on the topic to a small group just this past February at an event. 🤔

My time is mostly spent locked inside a massage therapy room, away from my phone and computer, so social media management is often challenging for me. While I am doing better about communicating all of the things I’m working on, in addition to the community work I’m involved in, I realize it’s a lot to keep up with.

If you are interested in staying in the loop on things, let me know and I’ll be happy to ensure you have all the info or at least an invitation to the conversations.

Much love to you all on this beautiful Wednesday morning!!

AND, our group meets at the Springfield Nature Center every Wednesday morning at 8:45 AM by the bathrooms. We begin walking Long Trail at 9 AM, clockwise. You are welcome to join us anytime! If you’re a little late, just walk the other direction and you’ll run into us eventually. 🫶🏼😉🙏🏼✨🐺🌳💚🪶

We’ll see you online and in person on 8/11 at The Den for Wisdom in the Trees with Amy & Christy! 🫶🏼🐺✨🌳🪶

Happy Tuesday, friends! I wrote another book! This one has been in the making for nearly three years now. I guess, realistically, the material has taken me most of my life to fully understand and accept. The first draft was written two years ago, and thanks to time in the jungle, therapist friends, colleagues, and mentors, it has become what it is today.

As many of you know these last couple of years, I've been on some pretty big journeys, and it wasn't until February of this year that I fully understood the importance of DAILY ritual.

While I won't be able to leave with my friends tomorrow for Peru again, Amy and I are planning our own intentional time here in the concrete jungle.

Destination retreats are great, but I've come to realize it's really what you do afterward that matters most. It's in the mundane, day-to-day routines where patterns are revealed, and people get triggered. It's up to us to listen, respond, and maybe even change course.

Amy S Wallace has been on her own journey back to self for over a year now. While we've been learning and expanding in different ways since our first trip to the jungle of Costa Rica, we couldn't be more aligned and ready to invite others to walk alongside us for the next six weeks to explore The Wisdom in the Trees.

Beginning next week, Amy will be using this How to "Become an Aware Wolf" book as a companion guide during her morning live videos in her group. Each week, we'll focus on unlocking a new skill. Easy TO do, easy NOT TO do.

We'll gather on 8/11 at the Den for Wisdom in the Trees with Amy & Christy to share more about the program and have open discussion. Then, on 8/22, we'll offer Sunrise Sacred Connection with Amy & Christy as a halfway point celebration.

Then we'll be on the Buffalo River the weekend of Sept 11-13 for our final celebration!

How do you join us? Great question. It's super easy.
