The First Apples of Late Summer

ReVision

Sometimes it is Necessary
 To Revise Your Dreams
 In order
 To Enjoy Your Reality.

-the anonymous ginger poet who eats whatever I make (even when it isn’t tacos)

And sometimes, the first apples of late summer are not the sweetest.  The Honeycrisps bite. Those Earligolds are a bit…Early. So, to ground and sweeten up those early apples, another awesome recipe from Sue V., with tinkering by microwave-less me.

We all hope you are enjoying the late summer and wish you a happy, healthy, Safe September. We made it! Let’s keep keeping on:)

Steph & Connie & Sue, too

Wellness From (and For!) the World Around Us: Finding our Way this Spring

Sun shines through storm on spring trees

by Cynthia Zanti Jabs, L.Ac.

This new virus has changed so much this Spring. It’s radically altered routines and relationships for all of us. We’re learning new technologies to connect with loved ones, colleagues and clients. Reclaiming old practices like cooking from a pantry. Bowing to each other instead of shaking hands. Re-discovering the importance of the simple, sacred act of hand washing. Remembering the value of time outdoors.

“Healing With The Seasons” Medicinal Movement, Meditation and Breathing Practices  (aka ‘Qi Gong’)

Part 1: Springtime – Navigating the Winds of Change

Starts February 24, 2020

            Cynthia Zanti Jabs, L.Ac., has taught and written about “Healing with the Seasons” for two decades. In 2020, she will offer a series of five mini-courses to introduce seasonally oriented Qi Gong practices at Ruscombe.

            For practitioners, these breathing and movement practices are useful tools for both self-care and to teach clients in support of their treatments – and a fun way to earn CEU’s! For beginners, they provide safe and beneficial ways to explore and cultivate the movement of qi in and around them. All will leave each class with several usable practices related to the upcoming season. Those who complete the entire series of five mini-courses will take away a collection of practices to benefit all of the major organ systems.

            The first three-class course will include basic qi building tools, simple clearing practices (for toxins, allergens and ’wind’) and movements to increase flexibility for healthy Springtime growth and movement. All of these help us shift gears from our weary Winter selves to our pro-active Spring selves.
