EᒪEᗰEᑎTᗩᒪ ᑭOTIOᑎ

THE FIVE ELEMENTS (ᗰETᗩᒪ, ᗯᗩTEᖇ, ᗯOOᗪ, ᖴIᖇE, EᗩᖇTᕼ) are the underlying energies that comprise all things...

Also called the Five Movements, their dynamic interactions form the universal order, generating the cycle of the seasons along with corresponding colors, flavors, sounds, the organs + tissues of our bodies, and even our temperaments + emotions. There is no distinction between body/mind. Matter is not fixed. Everything is movement.

Healing may then be envisioned as the harmonious dance

of these five elemental energies.

We created the EᒪEᗰEᑎTᗩᒪ ᑭOTIOᑎ series to acknowledge + celebrate + balance the needs and experiences unique to each season. We offer each formula as a shared ritual— harmonizing collective consciousness with the cyclical passage of time, witnessed by plant + human community.

To dive deeper into the EᒪEᗰEᑎTᗩᒪ framework with seasonal writings, recipes, somatic meditations + collective discussion to accompany each formula, along with a subscriber's discount, join our growing community on Patreon.

THE FORMULAS + WORDS + IMAGES WE MAKE ARE GESTURES OF SUPPORT TOWARD YOUR PROCESS OF CARING FOR YOURSELF AS YOU SEE FIT.

They are not medical advice or medical treatment.

PEOPLE + PLANTS ARE COMPLEX.

YOUR RESPONSE TO DIFFERENT PLANTS, IN DIFFERENT AMOUNTS, WILL BE UNIQUE.

LISTENING AND ADJUSTING TO YOUR RESPONSE IS VITAL TO ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR CARE.

While complications from working with herbs + speculative interactions between herbs + drugs are sometimes publicized, confirmed cases are rare. It is your responsibility to discuss possible complications or interactions of herbs + medications with a trained healthcare provider, particularly if you are pregnant or have a known medical condition.

This might feel complicated, and that’s OK. :~)
