In this episode of Tending the Sacred, you’re invited into a soft, fragrant meditation on devotion, presence, and the deep wisdom of the natural world—specifically the sacred medicine of the rose. Inspired by her recent time in the forest with blooming Nootka Rose and her own devotional path as a scent priestess, Ameya reflects on how rose teaches us to open, to soften, and to fully bloom.

This episode is a gentle reminder that sacred tending isn’t always found in elaborate rituals, but in the simple beauty of everyday life—lighting a candle, taking a slow breath, pausing to feel the earth under your feet, or inhaling the scent of a flower. It’s a love letter to the mothers, the tired ones, the ones learning to rest, and anyone who needs to be reminded of the sacredness they carry within.

On Today’s Episode:

• The sacred teachings of the rose and what it means to live in devotion

• Remembering the lineage of the plants, the land, and our grandmothers

• Why Nootka Rose is considered the Queen of Love

• Sacred tending for mothers and modeling rest for the next generation

• Reclaiming the simple life as a spiritual path

• An invitation to find beauty, presence, and prayer in the ordinary

An in-person ceremony of holy oil, prayer, and presence—for the woman ready to soften, release, and return to her body as temple. Receive the healing power of Anointing as a rite of passage and a sacred return to feminine embodiment, vibrational healing, and soul remembrance.
