The Wellness Journey
Grounding & Philosophy: Begin with a self meditation on growth and patience, exploring the Japanese philosophy behind kokedama. Connect with the concept of wabi-sabi – finding beauty in imperfection – as you prepare to work with living materials that will grow and change over time.
Mindful Plant Selection: Choose your plant companion through intuitive connection, learning to listen to your instincts and needs. This selection process serves as a metaphor for self-awareness and trusting your inner wisdom.
Meditative Creation Experience the deeply calming process of mixing soil with intention, feeling the earth between your fingers as you prepare your plant's new home. The rhythmic, repetitive motions of wrapping roots in moss and binding them with natural twine create a meditative experience that quiets mental chatter and promotes deep relaxation.
Nurturing Intentions: Set caring intentions for your new plant companion, establishing a daily ritual of observation and care to support your ongoing wellness journey.
