Embodiment

The body offers the gift of presence in the here-and-now, where reality is most vivid and our power and focus is most accessible. Embodiment--intentionally connecting with the body and experiencing the dynamic relationship with our whole selves (mind, body, emotions, etc.) -- opens the possibility of being more fully in our bodies, in the present, more connected to our own vitality and discernment, and more able to offer our presence to others, including the beyond-human world.

Embodiment allows us to not only be increasingly aware of the nuances within our internal landscape, but also to be more receptive to the influence and support of our environments, from the subtleties of the unique ecosystems in which we are embedded to the entirety of the Earth.

When we turn to our bodies, we turn towards the parts of us that continue to carry the way of nature--its rhythms, wisdom, and processes. We access the parts of ourselves that know how to move, how to heal, how to be.

When we intentionally involve herbs--carriers of the way of nature--in our journey into ourselves, we enhance both the depth and subsequent expansion of the connection we cultivate. Herbs lend their support to accessing our healing and feeling selves, not just through ingesting them but also through observing them, growing and harvesting them, learning from them, relating with them.

As we connect with herbs, we connect with our bodies and nature simultaneously.  Each aspect of the connection elevates the other, weaving a dynamic dance of reciprocal healing. We create and discover more wholeness within ourselves and the web of life.

This dynamic dance is the heart of embodied herbalism. The Woven Roots Collective offers unique opportunities to intentionally and practically engage embodied herbalism through our products, workshops and events. While some workshops and events are more herbalism-focused and others more embodiment-focused, the intersection of herbalism and embodiment forms the fabric of our mission and will be woven into our offerings. Our offerings will continue to grow and shape-shift alongside our business. Stay connected.
