This week I delve into the festival of Samhain - also known as All Hallows Eve, or modern-day Halloween. I discuss its history, some of it's folklore, plants associated with the season, and traditional food and drink prepared for this celebration.

This week on the podcast Hannah discusses her top 5 rituals to begin this autumn to embrace the season & support your immunity leading into the colder months ahead.

This week Kristy discusses why you would Rewild the Home and how to do so.

This week on the podcast Hannah talks us through the astrology and herbalism that we'll experience through the Autumn season, covering the signs of Pisces, Aries and Taurus. She discusses herbs for each sign, healing tools for each sign, tissue states and more!

This week marks the beginning of Autumn, so we explore the topics of the Autumn Equinox (Mabon), Root Medicine and How to Ground.

Mabon was a time of harvest so Hannah talks about how this corresponds to the basic needs of survival and how this energetically mirrors the Root Chakra. She discusses the history of Mabon, how different it is now in modern times, and how to still immerse yourself in this traditional celebration, and work with this energy.

Kristy delves into the interesting subject of Root Medicine, best practices for how to harvest roots and goes into detail about Burdock Spirit. She also tells us ways to Ground or Earth and how this benefits the body and our wellbeing.
