📖 how will your story be told? {an invitation awaits inside}


hey Reader,

can you feel it...?

there’s a quiet remembering happening in the hearts of women everywhere.

it’s a hunger for truth.

a desire to reclaim what was lost.

a fire to tell our own stories.

“until the lioness learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter.” — African proverb

before I was the tea witch behind Garden of the Moon…

before I was an herbalist, health coach, or learned to walk with the Moon & my womb…

i was a Women’s Studies major in undergrad.

i still remember the first time i heard that old proverb—those who write history control how it’s remembered.

& it sparked a holy fire that has honestly never gone out in the years since.

it’s that fire that birth this new invitation i’d like to share with you 🔥

introducing… Spill The Tea 🫗

a monthly storytelling and creative expression circle where we gather to explore the sacred threads of womanhood through myth, herstory, poetry, ritual, and embodiment.

each month, we’ll gather live for a 90-minute guided circle where we:

🧚 explore folklore and fairytales that embody the feminine psyche

🫀 dive into sacred anatomy—learning about our female bodies the way we should have in school

🌙 awaken archetypes like Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, Crone… and all the faces in between

this circle is for you if you’ve felt the call to:

✨ create from the deepest parts of you

✨ “Safety lives within me” ✨ 👆 this is a line from a poem that poured out of one of the women who circled up with us for the inaugural Spill the Tea gathering in honor of Mary Magdalene on her Feast Day. she shared how her poem surprised her with unveiling a deeper understanding of the ways she’s rejected the feminine in her life—all in the name of safety. yes, sister, yes. everyone on the call could feel this SO deeply. it was such a potent reminder & part of the wisdom that we explored in...
