INSPIRATION

FOUNDERMADE WELLNESS SUMMIT WRITTEN BY ERICA JOY DUNN @ERICAJOYDUNN

I’m still buzzing with ideas and excitement after attending FounderMade’s Wellness Summit in February. I spent an entire day with about 500 other people watching panels full of leaders in the wellness industry.

As an entrepreneur and a woman with passion to heal — I appreciate the power of likeminded people coming together to further help advance one another through partnerships. The FounderMade Wellness Summit connects the smartest minds in health and wellness who are leading trends in investing, distribution, technology, acquisition and marketing.

What is your life’s mission, goal or purpose? Whether it was the CEO of Flywheel or founders from Wanderlust and MindBodyGreen, they all had a focus of what they wanted to do, driven by a need they had in their lives.

Admit “failure” when it happens. That’s courage. Have you lost focus on your goals? Sarah Robb’s, CEO of Flywheel Sports keynote speech focused on failure and owning your screw ups. Instead of hanging your head in shame when you do fail or get fired, Robb shared how you should use that failure to help you figure out what’s next.

And follow your guts... trust your intuition. Greatness doesn't come easy but It’s important to stay steadfast and true to your own journey. It’s such an amazing feeling to help and support others on their paths and manifest change every single day.

Pre-heat your oven to 425f degrees.

3. Add oil to a cast iron skillet and heat on medium for a couple of minutes, then add chopped onion and sauté with a wooden spoon for 4 minutes. (If you don't have a skillet to bake in, simply use any sauté pan for these next few steps and pour in a ceramic baking dish afterwards) 4. Next, add the kale and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to wilt. Then add: garlic, salt, pepper and stir for a minute, lower the flame slightly.

5. Add in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chopped carrots, parsley and the bay leaf and continue to sauté using the wooden spoon. Break tomato chunks down and stir for 8 minutes or so.

6. Add beans to the pan, stir around. Next pour water (enough to cover the beans and then some).

7. Cover the beans with tin foil or a lid and bake for approx. 45 minutes until most water has been absorbed. Uncover and continue to bake. When cooked, you should see a little crust forming around the edges of your dish and the water should be mostly absorbed. Serve!

MAMA GLOW It was a beautiful summer evening in July and I was on a date and Maternal Lifestyle Expert, Doula and Best Selling Author, Latham Thomas shares What Does Birth Teach Us?

contemplating whether or not I would stay out later, things were going so well. As we walked down the street I gazed up at the full moon, round and low, it was a Super Moon. My intuition spoke me and I knew that I needed to get home and rest because I was

WRITTEN BY LATHAM THOMAS @GLOWMAVEN @MAMAGLOW

expecting a mother to go in to labor at any moment and I knew deep within that it was going to happen that night. I am a birth doula.

I ended the date and as soon as I got home, I prepared for bed- keeping my cell phone on. At approximately 2:30am while I was sound a sleep, I got the call. It was my client and indeed her water had broken. Her baby was on the way.

Contrary to what most people observe on TV, the birth process is slow, rhythmic and primal. It’s a state that requires us to get out of our heads and into our bodies. It requires everything around us to slow down and quiet. It requires stillness and soul. My life’s work as a birth doula is to guide women to empowerment through the birth process and hold their hand as they make safe passage across the threshold into motherhood…To keep intact a sacred template that Mother Nature encoded in each of us, that is ignited at birth.

But what does birth teach us? I want to speak to you about feminine rhythms and creation. Life force permeates everything and birth touches everything we do. For women- it’s part of who we are. We cultivate and give rise to things manifest- ideas, visions dreams and goals, become screenplays, books, new businesses and babies. I believe it all starts from the same place – the womb.

WELLNESS

WHAT DOES BIRTH TEACH US? Your uterus is a sacred portal to the past present and future. It’s the creative matrix from which all things manifest are born into light. There is a pervasive belief in the medical community that the womb’s purpose ends after childbirth, but pleasure and creativity extend well beyond the childbearing period. Even men have what’s called the prostatic utricle, in Latin, which translates to "pouch of the prostate"- it’s the male equivalent of the uterus.

This is a case for reclaiming your womb and softening, opening and surrendering to maternal rhythms that can reconnect us to our uniquely feminine edge. The womb is receptive, soft, a container for cultivation. The belief that our bodies have little to do with our visions, hopes, aspirations, and fears has led to a deep ignorance of the power of our psyche on the physical realm.

Creativity and anything we want to bring forth comes from one place- within us. It is spawned in our wombs and cultivated there until it’s time to yield to the world. Like an anatomical pregnancy where there is a child growing within the uterus, creating expansion, growth in consciousness, increased awareness, strength, courage, and infinite possibility- so are our ideas. They start like an egg at the point of fertilization, then begin a process of proliferation, the idea grows when you speak it, share, get input, plan. A concept grows from a tiny idea to a vision, which then becomes something tangible… a business plan, a dance, a new product…All of these are cultivated within… in darkness, even when you aren’t directly working at it, it’s still taking shape.

How we get there is about slowing down and honoring sacred timing. What do I mean by sacred? Things don’t necessarily occur when you think the time is right, but when the time is ripe. When we surrender to maternal rhythms we learn that there is tremendous value in listening to our bodies as a governing voice and advocate for our intuition. When we slow down, we can connect with the ambient landscape and sync ourselves with the lunar cycle, align our circadian rhythms- we don’t need anything to modulate what’s happening within or around us if we are in tune with our sacred time.

WELLNESS Birth is not about having control, its just the opposite. When the water breaks, we wait…Patience. I watch the waves- the contractions increase in frequency and length, we seek pattern, rhythm and observe signals from the body to inform what we will do to support the laboring mother. I provide safety, security and a container for transformation, creating an energetic space that allows the mother to feel as if she is being un-observed. This allows her to stay present and trust her body and the process. The more we try to govern this primal experience, the more we move away from it’s magic and the goblets of wisdom that come from this sacred rite of passage. Birth is wild, its messy, its dynamic. Birth teaches us that when we relinquish the control we are so fraught to seek in our own lives, rather than forcing things to happen we allow them to- we embrace the energy of ease. Don’t push the process, allow what is unfolding for you to happen in its own time. Whether or not you ever give birth, listening to and honoring the wisdom of the body, is something every woman can do.

Patience, stillness, listening… together create a vacuum that draws everything we need towards us like a magnet. Taking the time and space to retreat, indulge in radical self care, prayer, meditation, and remembering to mother yourself first can be a powerful pathway to reclaiming your body’s wisdom. Close your eyes, place your hand upon your womb- you are the beginning and within you lies a universe. Be still and appreciate the present moment and tap into the enormous power and solace that is your birthright.

INTERVIEW

MOON CLUB WITH RUBY Moon Club is a new monthly coaching and mentorship program from The Numinous + Alexandra Roxo. OMG! Co-founder Ruby Warrington explains what it’s all about…

@THE_NUMINOUS

From start to finish, what would be your perfect day?

Waking up naturally with no alarm clock, somewhere sunny and peaceful (I am getting "the Ibiza countryside" here!) Breakfast, some writing, and some movement to get my heart pumping. Lunch outside. Visiting with friends and family. Some yoga. Definitely a massage, preferably from my husband. A delicious plant-based feast from http://www.theconsciouscook.nyc/. Ending with some kind of mind-expanding cultural or healing experience. Bed by 10pm.

What’s your morning and nightly routine?

MORNING: I start with 20 mins of Transcendental Meditation (my version of hitting the "snooze" button), then hot water + lemons + vitamins, oatmeal in winter / smoothie in the summer, followed by a huge pot of green tea. I do all my writing work in the morning.

EVENING: Clean my face with Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish, followed by rose water to tone and The Balm by Nucifera. I read novels in bed to switch to a more right-brain state before sleep, usually 20-30 minutes before my lights go out. Currently The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.

Five things you’re coveting right now…

A vacation, an assistant, a place in the country, more time with my family, a lifetime discount at Isabel Marant. Can I also add "world peace"?

What is Moon Club?

Moon Club is a monthly mentorship program for "spiritual activists" that I launched with my Numinous contributor Alexandra Roxo in November last year. We use astrology + coaching to help people really embody spiritual concepts and ideas, and use them to grow and show up in the world as the fullest expression of themselves.

Living in NYC and LA, and working in this space, Alexandra and I were aware that so many of the spiritual workshops and conversations we have easy access to are very inaccessible to many people. Meaning there's no real spiritual community where you are, and / or workshops and coaching can get super expensive! The idea was to create a way to bring these tools to as many people as possible—via the magic of the internet!

INTEVIEW

MOON CLUB As well as a monthly PDF workbook for each Moon phase (we begin a new cycle with each New Moon), our members get to attend weekly LIVE web events—which include interviews with spiritual activists we admire, rituals, workshops, and general coaching sessions where they can ask their questions and get 1-2-1 live coaching with us.

Where do you draw inspiration from?

Mainly from conversations I have my Numinous community. Over the past 3 years I've had the most incredible tribe of healers, teachers, artists and creators approach me about contributing to The Numinous, and it's always straight to the "real talk" when we get together! But I also believe "inspiration" is another word for "intuition" - and most of my ideas come from the numinous place with "in" me...

What does your astrology practice look like?

Constant thinking, talking, and research. But I don't pay too much attention to daily horoscopes - the big picture themes and study of my own and others' individual birth charts is much more interesting + useful to me. Running Moon Club also means I am intimately familiar with and deeply connected to the phases of the Moon. I also LOVE the monthly Tarotscopes on The Numinous

by Lindsay Mack—she picks a card for each sign and they are always so accurate!

What are parallels you see between wellness and astrology?

Our bodies love regularity, and getting in synch with the phases of the Moon is a great way to foster this. But also, for me astrology has been a way to understand my unique emotional needs—which in turn has helped me make lifestyle + wellness choices that ensure these needs are met. The result is that I am calmer, happier, and feel physically more "whole."

Best advice you’ve ever received…

As an entrepreneur (and an Aries lol) I find it crucial to remember that a) there's no such thing as a mistake, only a valuable lesson, and that b) Rome wasn't built in a day.

Advice to women being hard on themselves when looking in the mirror in the morning…

Don't linger too long in the mirror - think about what you want to see in the world, rather than worry about how the world sees you...

What does wellness mean to you?

Having the energy and confidence to put my vision out into the world, and stay true to myself with each and every choice I make.

FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS, FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. Family Constellations Facilitator, Reiki Practitioner, Integrative Coach and Public Speaker, Marine Sélénée shares how family trama can have a subconscious impact on our lives.

@MARINESELENEE

For the ones who don’t know about Family Constellations, it’s a therapeutic approach that was developed by Bert Hellinger during his observation of Zulu tribes in the 50’s. Each family has a heritage that passes down from generation to generation. We share the same last name and sometimes even the first name as our family members or ancestors; as well as the same bloodline, roots, culture and stories. An invisible yarn links us all together and through this, we can feel things that we may have never even personally experienced. Let’s call this invisible yarn our loyal, internal family memory. Our negative behaviors and situations are often entangled with our family system dynamics that have not yet been recognized. If we stay in these underlying entanglements, they will move into the next generation. Family Constellations is a way to break this chain of blind behavior and transform what is holding us back so that we can live our life from our greatest potential.

Every day, through my private practice, I witness the heavy burden that we can loyally carry on our shoulders, generation after generation. What we have to understand is our first mission as a child is to save and protect our family system. Until we don’t finally realize that our family is the perfect one for us and we release this urge and need to fix anything that happened in the history of our lineage, we cannot entirely be free. And, it means living our life, our own life to the fullest, with our own inspirations, desires, goals and dreams.

It’s one thing to acknowledge and know our story. It’s another thing to use our story as an excuse of not being able to move on and so feeding the victim mindset. In any way, our story is our weakness. Our story has to be seen as an honor to be alive today.

Thanks to our past generations who fought for us, who survived for us, who made sacrifice, who believed in love again, who trusted the birth of a new generation again, we are here today.

Our mission is to respect and accept our family as it is and more especially our parents who gave us birth. Maybe, they were not the best ones.

WELLNESS

FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS Maybe, they were mean or hurtful. Maybe, they abandoned you or you felt that way. Maybe, they were abusive. Maybe, they were depressed. Maybe, they were addicted. And, the list can go on…

However, beside of all of those “Maybe” and of course, your own perception of them and your childhood, we have to know and recognize that they did the best they could, with their own story. This recognition will set us free. We will be able to release any resentment, frustration, anger and harsh feelings that we were keeping toward our parents. Thinking that at one point, they will see us through our sufferings and pain.

This is not how it works. What works is bringing love and peace back, first within yourself and then into your family system. By understanding where you came from, you can understand your parents and yourself. Because, at the end of the day, you will always be a piece of your parents, both of them and when you reject one of your parents or both of them, you reject yourself.

Same thing for your entire family and story. Rejecting with whom and where you belong is rejecting yourself.

And, you are unable to move on and be in the now, in the power of the present moment. You turn your back on your present to face your past and by doing that, you are losing yourself. You cannot fix the past; you cannot save this little girl who died in the concentration camp. You cannot prevent your uncle to die in a car accident. You cannot save your grandma who passed away while giving birth to her baby. You cannot erase the painful memories of your grandfather. You cannot punish the murderer of your great grandfather. You cannot save your mother from her depression. You cannot cure the cancer of your father.

But the good news is you can do two things. First, you can give to all of the members of your family, a place to be. This is what we called the sense of belonging. And secondly, in honor of their lives, you can live yours to the fullest, you can make something of your life so nothing has been in vain. You are not here to be a judge; you are here to be an example. You are not here to pinpoint what is good or bad, it will only diminish your family and by the same occasion, diminish you too.

So, stand up and bow in front of those invisible lights that are your belongings, ancestors and heritage. Make something from your life and use your inheritance as a powerful and meaningful gift that one day, it will be your turn to pass on.

LOOKING INWARD: SMOKE, OIL + SCENTS Written by Katrine Knauer of Las Brujas de Yerbas. Las Brujas de Yerbas is made up of two western herbalists based in Brooklyn, Amanda Rae and Katrine.

@LAS.BRUJAS.DE.YERBAS

The daily practice of looking inwards is valuable. To wake from dream, and reflect on the night’s wanderings. To lay before dream, and look past upon the day or week or month. It is within these quiet, reflective times, that thoughts from the bottom of our souls begin to rise. We can make space for these particles of thought to rise and bloom in our minds. They can be pleasant remembrances. They can be dark moments that we never allow to manifest themselves. Regardless of where these emotions fall on the spectrum of our emotional reaction, there is a need to give time and space to them.

We are like the trees. We reach to the sun and sleep beneath the stars. Humans and plants have grown together throughout time. We have a relationship. Though it may seem, at times, that the connection is far, in reality it is much more accessible than we think. We can, at any time, delve into this instinctive symbiosis (because we both landed on this earth created from the sky). We can integrate plants into our chemical structure, helping us bend, flex and sometimes break.

Smoke Each evening, before I lay my self to slip into dream, I find it calming to burn a smudge stick. Depending on what I have and what I feel, I burn a wood like Palo Santo (coming from Ecuador and used traditionally for meditation practices) or Thyme from the garden (which in Victorian times is said to have been placed under the pillow to encourage prophetic dreams). The act alone of burning a smudge stick or wood, the smoke that twirls through the air, pulling my eyes into twists and then into haze, make me calm, make me float. Let me weightlessly observe the world and state I am in within that darkness of that night.

13 | Looking Inward

WELLNESS

Oil When there is time, when the world isn’t pulling at my shirt to run from the house and hurriedly do all the things that must be done‌ I let the air dry my showered skin. Then take the Tulsi Oil I made (from tulsi my medicine making teacher gave me, dried in the Oakland sun and let to bath in almond oil until the scent released) covering each part of me with a plant known to energetically make you feel lighter. The scent sweet and green. Combined with rose infused oil, layering this body with plants that love and balance the spirit. Coated in herbal allies, I can enter the world outside my door. The practice of connecting with the physical being that is my vehicle, letting it reflect to me any internal issues that may be lurking. I become a walking meditation, through the city I live in, walking past people whose energy briefly intermingles with mine and breathing the air that is my life force.

Scent The summer begins to drip against my skin. Layers of air.

Layers of warmth. Layers of pollen. Slight shifts in the atmosphere, cooling the sweat on my lips. The heat can take my mind high. And I need things to bring it to the earth, to the soil, to balance out. For this, I shift to a mist, spraying myself with Neroli Hydrosol. A scent that uplifts my spirit, soothing my mind. It is said to stabilize  fear and puts me in a place that is in the middle somewhere, able to be present in this lush and colorfilled time of year.

TRAVEL

SACRED LAND, NO PHOTOGRAPHY

WRITTEN BY DIANA STAHL @DIANACSTAHL

There were signs in the temples, near the canteen, outside the Bajans hall. “No photography.” This is Amritapuri, the ashram of the hugging saint Herself, and there will be no photography! I noticed these signs immediately as I ran around the ashram in the T-shirt, Doc Martens and skinny jeans I’d been wearing since Brooklyn buying the white clothes I’d be sporting for the next two months. My guide, Padma Gonzalez, was literally pulling me around the ashram by hand telling me everything I needed to get for life at Amritapuri as my jet lag was smacking me in the face. She told me everything from what to wear to how to use the toilettes.

Padma invited me to “come to Amma” back in July. I was doing a quick Reiki apprenticeship with her at Maha Rose and she put her hand over my heart and said, “You’ve been through a lot!” She was right My mother died on the new moon last February. She’d battled cancer for close to ten years and in those final six days she was surrounded by her students, children, husband, siblings, siblings in law, teachers and best friend. At one point, someone even played a harp. It was surreal, spiritual, insanely painful and something I’ll be contemplating for a very long time. A few months before her death I went through the hardest relationship I’ve ever had, with the most devastating break-up. There were major (internal) wins in 2016 but by the time I’d met Padma my heart had been through a lot. And a few months later, on November 29th, I boarded a plane with Padma’s friend and Maha Rose owner Lisa Levine.

15 | Sacred Land

TRAVEL Three mornings later, I opened my eyes after two hours of meditation and chanting to the crashing waves outside the Ashram.

Dressed in all white, with my shoulders modestly covered, I was transcended by the morning’s Archana, the meditation, this pink water, the sun-Rays kissing the sand, the chatter of the fisherman, and the cackle of the crows. I felt a sort of peace and serenity I imagined Elizabeth Gilbert must have felt before writing Eat, Pray, Love. Three days in and I had transcended! Healed! Cured maybe! And then a very quiet inner voice crept up and echoed, “Post this on Instagram”. I reached into my bag. No iPhone. And no Internet too.

They say the ashram is filled with Devis - AKA Supreme Mother Goddesses - who put you through tests. They trigger you. They take things from you. They’ll give you a hug if you really ask nicely. They’ll reveal the secrets of the universe. They’ll let you have a moment with your favorite dead relative, including my mother. They’ll love you. These Mothers must have known my love of connection because it was the first thing to go.

My efforts to get Wifi on my phone was met with trial after trial after trial after trail. The details of which are not that interesting so let’s move on! Just know that it took me ten days of paperwork, hackneyed phone calls to AT&T from the ashram phone, difficult trips to the bank, mistaken $500 phone charges before I surrendered.

People turn off their phones, we put them in a bowl at adult Connection Camps. We are getting more and more woke to phone and internet cleansing. This may not seem like that big a’deal. Except that this was at the end of November.

TRAVEL After the craziest election in recent history. We were terrified and staying connected felt like (and definitely is) our strength out of this mess. In the states you were organizing for the Women’s March in DC, calling your congress people and this was the first holiday season after my mother’s death. I would have no phone, and not even a way to post one photo on the Internet to tell my family and friends I was okay. No way to Skype with my Dad on Christmas morning. No way to message my girlfriend. As a friend put it, it would be like traveling in 2001.

This threw me into an existential crisis. If I’m not able to share this moment through the Internet, does this moment matter? Did it happen at all? Is this ocean really here?

How will I describe the Kali temple, the Brahmacharini, my amazing new friends and family, the sacred Tulsi fields I worked in, the sewing projects I failed miserably, the bench where I felt my mother sit down next to me, the team of dishwashers I worked with every night, the Christmas talk, the New Year’s talk, Amma’s face, the face of the thousands and thousands of people who received hugs from Her every single day. The thousands and thousands of people there. How will I remember it if I don’t capture it? How will I stay connected with what’s going on back home? And it hit me.

I would never (ever) be able to capture the sunrise over the backwaters or the sunset over the ocean. And while I could stay connected to home, at a certain point I had to let go of that too. The best I could do is describe the sunset, the temples, the feeling for you. And I may spend the next thousand lifetimes trying to do just that. I may try to draw them. I may write a book about them. I make walk for weeks in contemplation, wondering about the light that morning. You’ll have to wonder about it too. You’ll have to contemplate it. Create them in your mind’s eye. Wondering - was it like this? And that ~ in its fleetingness ~ might be the point.
