Raw Food & Yoga Day

“Hi Cate.
Thanks so much for a great weekend of yoga and wonderful food. I am definitely inspired to continue incorporating more yoga into my routine and more living foods into my diet. I am so glad you incorporated the wild foods into the discussion. Why make a smoothie with an expensive green food powder when you can blend the weeds in your own yard. I’m 3 for 3 with backyard green smoothie breakfast since returning, mint/clover/nettle/thistle/dandelion definitely provide a kick that is very much of the local ecosystem and the summer season”

Teach your kids massage

One of my children’s favorite family activities is when we give each other a foot massage. As a Mom of four I am constantly looking for ways to replenish myself. I also like to show my children that there easy ways of taking care of yourself right at home. These self-care practices are a way you can make your body, mind, and heart healthy.

What your allergies are trying to tell you

Are you allergic to Nature?
Ever step outside and have a respiratory attack or mucus-removal fest? While it may appear you are allergic to Nature, chances are you’re out of sync inside your body. My experience is that out-of-sync bodies become reactive bodies when an internal tipping point is reached. This tipping point is often reached when seasons change.
