Ghee is psychedelic medicine. If you think about Ghee is psychedelic medicine.

If you think about the word psychedelic as the expansion of our consciousness, ghee can have that effect on us, especially if we have tuned our awareness to be more subtle and more connected to spirit. 

Ghee is ancient lunar mother medicine. It affects your consciousness, and the ancient beings understood that ghee is not just fat. It’s not just clarified butter.

It is the essence of the cow’s nourishment to its baby. It’s mama medicine, and the ancients called this soma. 

Soma, the Vedas speak of, is the nectar of immortality, the milk of moonlight, the fluid intelligence that cools and loves and nourishes and restores our mind after the intensity and heat and drama and trauma of life, of effort, of initiations that burn us down.

Long before soma was known in India as a highly debated brew, it was related to ghee.

Soma is considered the nectar of the gods, and we can see from the Sanskrit it is called smriti vardhaka, the enhancer of your memory. It literally helps our brain remember, but it also helps us to remember who we really are. 

It’s medya, the nourisher of our higher intellect.

It’s ojaskara, meaning the builder of soul immunity, and yogavahi, a carrier that delivers medicine into the deepest tissues, including our mind.

That is why ghee is what we call anapana in panchakarma. It doesn’t cleanse like fire, it loosens our karma through love. 

So in panchakarma, that’s why we take ghee first before everything else.

When we try to define the feminine, we’re doing When we try to define the feminine, we’re doing our best to talk about that which really can’t be talked about. 

It can only be felt. 

It can only be experienced. 

You can start to meet the feminine by beginning to notice what’s happening in your body, what’s happening in your heart, what’s happening in your sensations, what’s happening in your emotions. 

When I start to share about the feminine with the women in our school, there is this thing that happens:

They have a recognition of something I’ve said that awakens something in them that they already knew. 

I just reminded them of what was already inside. 

And so if there’s one thing that the feminine is, it’s the wisdom in you that already knows how to heal herself, that already knows the things in your life that are weakening you and the things in your life that are strengthening you. 

That intuitive, deep wisdom, we call the feminine. 

Our approach to Ayurveda is honoring how this ancient method is rooted in folk wisdom that women have been practicing all over the world.

Women have been doing this root mother medicine for as long as we’ve been here.

And it all starts from this place of: you are the boss. 

You’re the authority on you. 

We want to provide a place and a practice and a method where you get to feel the part of you that’s the boss. 

When you start tapping into that part of you, you start to know this feeling of warmth and kindness, and that’s a good sign that you’re starting to enter into that wisdom realm. 

If you’re feeling the pull towards that remembrance… you would love our year-long Feminine-Form Ayurveda School. 

It’s a full immersion into your feminine intelligence and inner knowing, while studying the time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that honors women’s bodies, rhythms and lives.

Classes just started last week and it’s not too late to sneak in the door.

The feminine isn’t here to do more. She’s here The feminine isn’t here to do more. She’s here to do what matters, slowly and intentionally.

When we try to overhaul our lives overnight, burnout is inevitable… and your higher self already knows this ;)

Feminine-form Ayurveda teaches you how to move with your rhythms, not against them. Less force, more wisdom, real sustainability. This is exactly why we built a whole school around women’s bodies, hormones and cycles.

It’s not too late to join us and begin 2026 in a way your nervous system can actually handle.
