The Haven
This Halloween (Samhain) I am launching “The Haven”, a witchy wellness space that has slowly emerged following mom Rita’s passing. It evolved from a question I have been sitting with after 19 years as a parent, 15 years in healthcare, and 3 years in “the sandwich” era, balancing simultaneous roles as a caregiver to children and aging parents.
Here’s the question: “As the main source of healing for our families, our clients, and our communities, what is OUR source of healing? Where do WE go to restore our resilience?”
My answer is “The Haven”. It will be a place to reflect, regroup, restore and recharge our sense of wellbeing. The emotional labor we perform as caregivers, healthcare providers, teachers, community organizers, first responders, pursuers of restorative justice and other humans on the front lines of serving humanity depletes us, whether we feel permission to acknowledge it or not.
It will be respite from the strain of our daily chaos coordination. It will be a cozy container for individual and group coaching through all types of transition and transformation. It will be a workshop space where we can build our capacity for resilience, while questioning our deeply ingrained narratives that hold us down and keep us small.
Most of all, “The Haven” will be a space for exploration, aspiration, and self-nurturing anchored by a collective of healers, healing ourselves and one another.
On Saturday October 31st, I will host a party with my dear friend Leslie Moore at the Candle Creation Bar www.thecandlecreationbar.com
We will honor the history of this space, where my beloved mother lived, as well as the transition to fall and the significance this time of year presents in our lives. Leslie will lead us through a very special scent creation ritual. An Aura Mist is a fragrant botanical blend created to shift the atmosphere around you. Mist it into the air, onto linens, or lightly around yourself whenever you want to change the mood. Using a curated collection of 100% essential oils, we will create a scent to shift our atmosphere when desired. Whether we are drawn to something bright and elevating, cozy and grounding, or somewhere in between, we will leave with a blend that feels wholly like ourselves. I have 15 spots for the event which will go from 4-7pm. RSVP by October 1st if you want to join (first claimed first confirmed up to 15).
For those of you who can’t attend or don’t live in Oregon, sign up to receive future opportunities and information about “The Haven” on my website at www.herizoncoachingandconsulting.com
