Rituals of Harvest include time for reflection, processing, and digesting.

You can begin with journaling your accomplishments and lessons learned. Make note of the seeds you’ve planted for the future. You can then journal about areas where you’ve gotten sidetracked and procrastinated. Take a moment to forgive yourself, maybe even outloud as you burn this second list- releasing old habits, negative beliefs and getting yourself unstuck. Consider some activity to help bring balance to your world- whether creating a new sustainability practice, committing to a new optimistic self-care routine, or engaging with people around you in a deeper way.

The harvest season includes the hawk migration. Hawks and raptors are daytime hunters, symbolic of taking a broad view by soaring above, yet striking their prey with precision.

For your Harvest Ritual bath, consider a visualization exercise where you free yourself from the things that have you feeling stuck and gain the perspective of the hawk.

The Harvest Ritual Bathing Set celebrates the Harvest Moon. A time of abundance. Meals get richer, hardier and more root-based. Warming spices, crisp leaves, and cozy comfort. It’s the time for slowing down, celebrating, and taking stock of our lives.

The New Moon Bath Soak will help with new beginnings and trusting your intuition.

New Moon - Cleansing Ritual Bathing Mineral Soak with Moonstone Feldspar

Each month when the sky is dark, begins the new moon. It is a time of intention setting and growth, as the moon waxes until full. It is a good time to reset and envision what you intend to nourish for this month's cycle. A ritual bath before the new moon is a great way to set the stage, and bringing a Moonstone Feldspar meditation stone is a symbol of “new beginnings” promoting inner growth, stability, self-respect, and following intuition.

Herbs for this blend have been part of purifying rituals since ancient times. They include Anise Hyssop, Mint, and Rosemary, all from Roots & Sky’s medicine garden and blended with epsom salt, Dead Sea salt, sunflower lecithin, and moisturizing olive oil.
