We Are Woven Roots: A Series for Creative Ways of Cultivating Connection

Journey into the heart of Tulsi (aka Holy Basil), an herb considered sacred within many cultures and traditions. Tulsi has an intoxicating aroma and offers many powerful healing properties. Tulsi’s medicine includes opening and balancing the heart, head and stomach, making them a mighty ally for moving through daily life.

 In this transformational workshop, we’ll explore the healing potential of deepening connection with both our inner selves and the natural world, guided by Tulsi's gentle wisdom and expansive support. This workshop includes: a reflective ritual inspired by shamanic tradition; instruction for a simple, at-home technique to craft your own Tulsi hydrosol, an aromatic mist that captures Tulsi’s essence and healing properties; and making of a hydrosol we will prepare as a group. You'll leave with your own handcrafted hydrosol, a tangible reminder of the profound connection forged in this sacred space that you can bring into your daily living.

Meet your facilitator, Kelbi McCumber-Morris! 

Kelbi is a simple woman with complex interests. She is a daughter, a wife, a friend, a mother, and she has a very multifaceted business.  She began her career in 1999 when she became a Reiki master, learning the healing tool as a response to her own long list of serious health challenges. As she battled for her physical health, she learned many other tools and modalities along her path, including those of Self discovery and spiritual growth. She will also forever be a student of shamanism. Each method learned made her feel more embodied, more empowered, and more like herself. Each time she learned a tool or technique that drastically improved her way of living (including mobilizing her horizontal life, and freeing her from walking with a cane, from a cycle of weekly doctor visits, and from being stuck in compound traumatic grief), she wanted to share it with her community. This led  her to create her business, LUMENous Healing. As a multi-modality quantum shamanic energy facilitator, she offers unique 1-1 healing sessions, several group offerings, and herbal medicines. Kelbi also enjoys time in the garden, where she grows her own plants for her plant-based products. Her line includes products for home, body, kitchen & witchin’. This line of products is her way of gently introducing plants into everyday life in simple, accessible and affordable ways with attainable/unassuming products. Through her products and services, she aims to help others find their own paths to being Fully Embodied and Fiercely Empowered. Ultimately, it’s all about putting you and your body back in control!

Find Kelbi & LUMENous Healing on socials: @LUMENousHealing and on the web at www.LUMENousHealing.com   She offers free consultation to help you discover the right path of healing for you. 

This workshop will focus on herbal energetics, as well as your personal physical, mental, and spiritual energetics. We will sample a variety of herbal medicines to better understand energetics, and why they are important. Experimenting with various herbs in this way can also ground us into the dimensions and uses of energetics. We will also make herbal tonic remedies for you to take home to continue playing with energetics on your own. 

The plants and trees that we work with will be local so that each of us has the opportunity to be more fully empowered to connect with the medicine and energies of the plants that share our environment. While we will discuss alcohol as a possible solvent for making tonics, this will be an alcohol-free space and alternative solvents will be used. We will also discuss methods of harvesting, storing, and preserving herbal products with energetics in mind.
