Winter Solstice – In The Darkness There Is Light

December 17, 2019 | By Julie Luzarraga

As we approach the Solstice we are not only reminded of the beginning of winter but the depth that winter holds for us. The solstice is a gentle reminder of rebirth in the midst of darkness. That we are granted this offering each and every year, and that this year our ritual holds a little […]

Founders Letter: Opening the Heart

February 19, 2019 | By Julie Luzarraga

      That favorite Hallmark holiday Valentine’s Day is this month.  But, before you get caught up in images of couples holding hands, blingy gifts, or sugary hearts I want you to pause.  Right now, just take a moment and pause.  Let your body relax.  Unclench your jaw.  With your next exhale, see if […]

Staying Active in the Cold

January 31, 2019 | By Isa Luzarraga

We have officially entered the dark, frosty cave that is the season of winter. Unfortunately, there’s not really any end in sight.

Finding Peace In Winter Solstice

December 20, 2018 | By Stevie Jelden

As the nights become longer and the days become shorter we find ourselves wrapped in a blanket of darkness. Winter solstice, which falls on December 21st 2018, is the shortest day and longest night of the year. Many fear this length of darkness but it should truly be used as a day of reflection, inner guidance, […]

Lighter Holiday Desserts

December 18, 2018 | By Isa Luzarraga

During the holiday season, it can be an enormous challenge not over indulging. With all the colorfully frosted cookies, delicious smelling cakes, and metallic wrapped hershey kisses, it can be hard to remember to watch what we eat.
