✨ Something a little different is coming to Colorado Springs...

On August 29th, I'll be joining an incredible group of local makers, practitioners, and creators for Waning & Grounding: A Post-Eclipse Gathering.

This isn't just a market.

It's an entire day created around what comes after the intensity—the space where we slow down, integrate, reconnect, and find our footing again.

Throughout the day you'll find tea, sound healing, movement, creativity, henna, herbal experiences, aromatherapy, workshops, local makers, treats, and plenty of opportunities to simply explore.

🌿 And I'm especially excited because Celestial Roots Co. will be opening the gathering with a grounding practice and tea, creating a moment for us to arrive together before moving into everything the day has to offer.

✨ Waning & Grounding: A Post-Eclipse Gathering
📅 Saturday, August 29
⏰ 11am–5pm
📍 Lil Witch Academy | 432 W. Fillmore, Colorado Springs
🎟️ FREE admission
✨RSVP Here: https://www.facebook.com/share/19Rdk2b5La/

Come for an experience. Wander the makers. Try something new. Meet some really cool humans.

And maybe leave feeling a little more grounded than when you arrived. 🌿✨

10/16/2026

We talk a lot about portals.

Eclipses. Full moons. Big shifts. Moments that illuminate something we couldn't quite see before.

But what happens after?

After something moves through you?
After something becomes visible?
After you've released what was ready to go?

We integrate.

We come back into our bodies.
We tend to what remains.
We make space for what has changed.
We reconnect with the practices, people, and little rituals that help us find our footing again.

Because sometimes the transformation isn't in the moment everything shifts.

Sometimes it's in what we choose to do with it afterward.

🌿Waning & Grounding: A Post-Eclipse Gathering was created for that space.

On August 29th, we'll gather for a day of tea, sound, movement, creativity, sensory experiences, intentional shopping, and community—all centered around slowing down, grounding, and integrating after the intensity of eclipse season.

I'll be there with Celestial Roots Co., and I'll also be opening our day together with a grounding practice and tea.

✨ Saturday, August 29 | 11am–5pm

Come exactly as you are.

Let's see what remains when the dust settles. 🌙🌿

10/16/2026

Before we shop.
Before we create.
Before we move through everything the day has to offer...

We're going to arrive.

In our bodies.
In this moment.
With whatever happens to be here.

This photo was taken during one of my own moments of grounding and connection. I wasn't trying to get anywhere. I wasn't trying to change what I was feeling. I was simply allowing myself to be fully present with it.

And sometimes... that means tears.
Because there's a difference between physically showing up somewhere and actually arriving.

On August 29th, I'll be opening Waning & Grounding: A Post-Eclipse Gathering with tea and a grounding practice—a moment for us to settle into ourselves before stepping into everything the day has to offer.

After periods of intensity, change, release, or heightened energy, I think there's something powerful about not immediately asking:

What's next?

But instead asking:
Where am I now?

So we'll begin there.

Feet on the ground.
Tea in our hands.
Breath in our bodies.
Nothing to accomplish.
Just a moment to arrive. 🌿

Then you're free to wander into an entire day of sound, creativity, movement, herbal experiences, workshops, makers, community, and whatever else calls to you.

🎃🍂 TODAY IS THE DAY! 🍂 HEX & HARVEST FEST 2026 🎃!
ONE FULL TURN AROUND THE SUN. 🧡
At Hex & Harvest 2025, we had room for just 8 vendors.
Today? 25.
And our Open Circle vendor pool has grown to over 160 people who want to be part of what we're building.
But the numbers aren't even the best part.
TWO of our vendors spent their OWN money to create attractions for today's event that will raise funds for VFW Post 101.
They didn't have to. They just wanted to HELP.
And one of them? It's their FIRST TIME vending with us.
They haven't even experienced an Open Circle event yet, but they already understand what we're trying to create.
THAT. RIGHT. THERE.
That's what Open Circle represents. People showing up for each other. Sharing resources, creating opportunities, and building something bigger than any one of us could build alone.
And today, we celebrate ONE YEAR of doing exactly that. 🧡
🎃 HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY!
🍂 HEX & HARVEST FEST 2026 🎃
🍬 11 AM–1 PM | FREE Trunk-or-Treat
🎃 Pumpkin Patch & Halloween Market
🔮 Readers' Row & Kids' Activities

🎂 CALLING ALL OPEN CIRCLE VENDORS — PAST & PRESENT!
After the market, we're heading downstairs to the VFW bar for our ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!
Birthday cake, drinks, and a chance to actually spend time together without running a booth!
Whether you were one of our original vendors or today is your very first event with us, WE WANT YOU THERE!
Because Open Circle was created FOR vendors.
But it has been built BY vendors.
Every person who has shown up, shared an idea, made a connection, or helped someone else succeed has shaped what we've become.
This celebration belongs to you, too. 🧡
One year down. And we're just getting started.

🍂 HEX & HARVEST FEST 2026 🎃 was a huge success. But that's not what I’m thinking about tonight.

We had a packed house all day. We raised over $200 for VFW Post 101. We celebrated one full year of Open Circle Events.

And somehow, none of those things are what I’m most struck by as I sit here tonight.

It’s the people.

As we got closer to this event, we had vendors stepping forward, volunteering to spend their own money to create attractions that would raise funds for the VFW. Others offered to donate 10% of their own sales.

We didn’t even have to ask.

They saw what we were trying to accomplish and wanted to help make it happen.

They wanted what they were doing to MEAN something.

To the people they were vending alongside. To the communities they were vending for. To something bigger than themselves.

And THAT is what makes Open Circle so special.

Think about what it takes to be a maker. To create something with your own hands, put a piece of yourself into it, and then put it out into the world for strangers to judge.

There is an incredible amount of vulnerability in that.

And so often, all these people are really asking for is to be SEEN.

And you know what?

It doesn’t take much to truly see someone.

Look at their work. Appreciate it. Become a fan. Promote them like you’re a fan.

Welcome them. Check on them. Introduce them to someone. Make them feel like they’re part of something, not just another booth space generating revenue.

That’s it. That’s the philosophy.

We don’t build Open Circle events to make money off the vendors who participate. We collect affordable vendor fees and put that money right back into creating experiences that bring people through the doors.

And the people we work with SEE that.

They want to help. They become fans of each other’s work. They collaborate. They make friends. They leave feeling included, appreciated, and like they did something good along the way.

Open Circle was born because a couple of small business owners got tired of feeling invisible to the very people they were working with.

We wanted to create something we wished had existed for us.

Something where vendors weren’t treated like a revenue stream, but like the incredibly talented, creative, vulnerable human beings they are.

And somewhere along the way, through collaborating with other small businesses, organizers, venues, and makers…

WE BUILT IT.

Not me and Jazz.

WE. ALL OF US.

Every vendor who showed up. Every person who shared an event. Every collaborator who offered their time, resources, or knowledge. Every person who believed there was a better way to do this.

Even through the misunderstandings, the criticism, and the people who chose to see something malicious where there was only an attempt to build something good.

We’re still here.

We’re still growing.

And tonight, I’m not thinking about attendance numbers or foot traffic.

I’m thinking about the people who helped turn an idea into something real.

To every vendor who has been part of Open Circle over this past year:

WE LOVE YOU.

You are so much more to us than a booth space.

You are WHY we keep going.

Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for believing in what we’re building. And most of all, thank you for COLLABORATING with us.

One full turn around the sun.

And we’re just getting started. 🧡

This weekend felt like community in every sense of the word. ♥️

Two markets. Hundreds of conversations. Familiar faces, brand new ones, hugs across tables, and people stopping to smell everything.

There are weekends where I come home thinking about sales, what worked, what didn't, what I'll change next time.
This isn't one of those weekends.

I keep thinking about the people.

At Hex & Harvest alone, 72 tiny potion bottles disappeared from our table in about two hours. Kids and plenty of adults lol stood around choosing herbs, words, colors, and little pieces of magic to carry home with them. I got to watch Rowan step in and help people create. I watched strangers get excited about plants. And I watched something I brought simply because it sounded fun become this tiny gathering place in the middle of absolute chaos.

The painted pumpkin auction raised money for the VFW and people got to take home the most beautiful artwork.

And in between all of that were the conversations.
The real ones.
The ones where someone comes to the table looking for tea and somehow we end up talking about bodies, healing, creativity, motherhood, seasons of life, or whatever needed to be spoken about in that moment.

That has become one of my favorite parts of taking Celestial Roots out into the world.

And then the market ended.
We packed our booths. Helped the stragglers get their stuff out to their cars. Cleaned the hall. Put everything back where it belonged.
And then a bunch of us wandered downstairs, grabbed a drink, and celebrated one year of Open Circle Events.

Somewhere along the way, I realized I've been brought into this little fold of artists, makers, weirdos, helpers, and genuinely good humans—and I'm really grateful for it.

Because community isn't just who shows up at your table.
It's who sends someone over because they think they'd love what you make.
It's who watches your booth while you p*e. 😂
It's who helps carry somebody else's stuff when everyone is exhausted.
It's who stays to sweep the floor after the customers have gone home.
It's sitting downstairs afterward, tired as hell, raising a glass to what you've all built together.

This weekend, people showed up.
For small businesses.
For artists.
For the VFW.
For their kids.
For each other.
And I'm just really grateful that Celestial Roots gets to have a little place in the middle of all of it. 🌿♥️

In another life I was an art student.

There was a point in my life where I thought I was going to pursue a degree in art therapy. And even though I didnt take it that far, I still spent years of my life playing with all different mediums to create.

And as Im sure you might imagine, my favorite form was that of the woman.

My basement wall are decorated with so many of my paintings and all over my house there is art depicting the woman form.

It was only within the last few years that I started to realize that all of the art around my house was an ode to myself....
I create in other forms most of the time now. Still an ode to myself, they just take different forms- tea, oils, blogs, food, kids lol.

But I absolutely loved getting to return to one of my original forms of creation this past week and it was for such a great cause!

I was tickled pink that my pumpkin took the highest bid at the silent auction this weekend at Hex & Harvest and all of those proceeds were donated directly to VFW post 101 so they can continue all the great work they do in the community for our veterans.
So here's this fairy's little journey from pumpkin → what the hell did I sign up for?? → okay wait 👀 → OH THERE SHE IS. 😂
