We then went inside and learned how to make skin cream with olive oil, herbal infusion and beeswax. Everyone participated. Very fun. I was impressed with how she worked with the girls.

Homemade Skin Cream
Rachel Berry from Sierra Botanica came over and first showed us edible weeds and herbs in the yard. She helped us tune into the sensitivity of the plants and how to pick them with love and respect.
We then went inside and learned how to make skin cream with olive oil, herbal infusion and beeswax. Everyone participated. Very fun. I was impressed with how she worked with the girls.
We all left with our own home made cream which I've been using every day. My skin is loving it.

Silly Day
We had plans of a certain art project, but when I met up with the girls, it was clear that we had to follow a different plan to lighten the energy We began with free dancing and spinning and allowing space for letting go.
Even at this age, kids feel a lot of pressures and stress. It was raining, but why not walk in the rain? So as they were walking out the door, I handed each a cookie, and they were asked to make up a nonsense sentence before they headed out. Example: "I'm so glad it's raining beause the purple dog wanted to fly while driving his car."
And there it began. We all talked completely silly for the entire rainy walk. By the end, the energy was light and giggly and full of nonsensical ideas.
Sometimes getting nothing "done" is the most efficient way to happiness.

Rock River Ritual
On our last gathering before Spring break, we went the Yuba river and found a glorious spot with huge rocks, a cave and a sandy beach. Because one girl was having a particularly hard day, I was inspired to do a short ritual with everyone. Mainly, everyone needed to play and explore, so I made it short.
Each girl found a rock to hold. I asked everyone to feel their feet on the sand, and tune into what they felt inside their bodies and where. And then to breath space into that place allowing it to be explaining that it's okay to have sadness, anger, fear etc. And from here asking them to ask for help to let go of that sadness, anger etc., from Spirit, their guide, the sun or whatever form feels right to them.
And then we all threw our rocks in the river.
The whole ritual took less then 5 minutes.
The energy shifted, and the girl who was having a hard day was light happy about an hour later. Maybe the ritual helped. : )
