Cultivate intentional self-care rituals
within a nourishing, supportive community
over the span of nine weeks
Wellbeing is built on daily self-care habits.
Optimizing our self-care for physical vibrancy, responsive immunity, and mental resilience is of utmost importance now and for our future. If you've felt overwhelmed, unsupported, and unsure about where to begin around your self-care, THE RADIANT VESSEL is for you.
In this 9-session course, Andrea shares a powerful, practical mix of self-care rituals designed to help you step into your most radiant, healthy Self. Weekly sessions will focus on self-care, meditation, nutrition, sleep, movement, emotional balance, and moon-centered ceremony. Each session begins with meditation and ends with a community share, and we discuss one herbal ally per class. Participants receive one 60-minute private session with Andrea to co-create an individualized self-care plan and a 30-minute follow-up upon completion of the course. To encourage community care and accountability, participants are paired with a partner for the entirety of the 9-week course.
The fall edition of THE RADIANT VESSEL spans two moon cycles, beginning on the Libra New Moon on Saturday, October 14th, 2023 and ending on the Sagittarius New Moon on Tuesday, December 12th, 2023.
The schedule revolves around new moons and full moons, meeting some Saturdays from 10am - 11:15am, and mostly Tuesdays from 7pm - 8:15pm PST. See schedule below for exact dates and times. There will be a break on the week of October 30th to observe

PLEASURE

SPACE
Tuesday, December 5th, 7pm
Our physical space says a lot about our life. An uncluttered space makes for a clear mind. This week, we dive into practices for keeping energy flowing freely in our home, and we explore the realms of environmental toxins and their impact on our health. Alternatives will be given for cleaning, cosmetic, and body care products.

SELF-AWARENESS

Self-awareness is the foundation of our health. We must get to know ourselves, our needs, and our values in order to identify what's working and what isn't. We explore tools like self-inquiry, writing, and meditation to deepen our awareness and relationship to Self.

Also, we review our intentions from the last new moon and set more for the moon cycle ahead.
