Welcome to the Journal
This is our reflective space where we share seasonal insights, embodied thoughts, and writing rooted in lived experience and rhythm. Entries are written slowly, honestly, and for reflection rather than performance.
This space is not a blog in the traditional sense. It is a slow reflective practice for those who feel called to slow down, sit with words, and move in rhythm rather than rush. Read at your pace.
A quieter, members-only space for deeper reflection, nervous system support, and early access to the wellness retreats unfolding in 2026.
Join when it feels aligned.
The Inner Circle
What Is Yoga?
Yoga is you. Yoga is alchemy. It is transformation at its highest form; you showing up for yourself.
Yoga is an inner thing. No one has to give it to you. You don’t need a mat, and you don’t need anyone else to do it with. No equipment necessary. Yoga is literally just you.
Yoga is about showing up and doing the work. Creating a spiritual practice that involves opening ourselves up to improvement and new ideas, rather than remaining stuck in the closed loops of deep subconscious patterns. Yoga is a lifestyle. It is spiritual wellness and all about cultivating inner contentment.

WHAT IS LAUGHTER MEDITATION?
Laughter meditation is a form of meditation that combines breathing exercises and laughter to promote a sense of well-being, joy, and relaxation. This type of meditation is also known as laughing yoga or laughter therapy, and it has become increasingly popular in recent years. Laughter meditation is an inner experience. When we laugh we are totally free. We can’t be in the past laughing, or in the future. Laughing brings us to the present moment. Laughter meditation is a cost-effective healing tool used to transform the present moment into child-like playfulness while honoring your inner child. Laughter meditation is strong preventative medicine and has a profound effect on the mind, body and spirit.
Did you know children can laugh up to 400 times a day, versus adults who laugh 15 times a day?
During a laughter meditation session, participants engage in laughter exercises that involve deep breathing, physical movements, and vocalizations. These exercises are designed to trigger laughter and create a positive, relaxed state of mind.
Client Testimonial: Fire Cider Personal Retreat
I was greeted by the sweet aroma of incense and freshly brewed tea when I arrived for my Fire Cider class. Dee immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable as we settled into her backyard patio. She had everything lined up and beautiful displayed as she explained how each herb and fruit was healing to my body.
As I packed my mason jar with the various ingredients, I could not help but feel positive and empowered. The music of Bob Marley played in the background bringing good vibes and energy. This experience was perfect for me and my journey. I recommend it to anyone that wants to enjoy the natural way to take care of your body with the guidance of a health educator.
My Kitchen Alkhemy Process: Fire Cider
Kitchen work is alchemy work. It is the sacred place in your home where you can program your food to nourish and work for you. If we are not aware, the same can also happen in reverse; the kitchen can be a place that feeds us sickness and disease. Here is my kitchen alchemy process on how I create my food medicine andAQ charge my herbs and food to work for me and my family. Everybody has a different version of Fire Cider, mine has an alchemy element to it, a magical process that I want to share with you!
