🪶 The Sacred is Calling: Ritual as a Way of Liv 🪶 The Sacred is Calling: Ritual as a Way of Living // A Workshop with Sisters Mary McQuate & Katie Silcox⁠
🗓️ September 25th, 10-12PM on Zoom⁠
⁠
In a world that moves too fast, where our calendars overflow but our hearts feel empty, we’ve lost the thread of the sacred.⁠
⁠
Our modern lives are noisy, hurried, and disconnected—yet deep inside, we long for ritual, meaning and magic.⁠
⁠
This workshop is an invitation to step out of the chaos and remember: every moment of life can be touched by the holy.⁠
⁠
In this event we will guide you through the art of creating rituals for life’s most profound passages: birth, death, and the sacred transitions in between. We’ll also explore how the seemingly ordinary moments of daily life can become ritual when met with intention. ⁠
⁠
Together we’ll uncover how ritual and altar-building can hold space for grief and celebration, endings and beginnings, and the quiet moments of becoming that shape who we are. ⁠
⁠
You’ll learn how to weave practices that honor these thresholds into your own life, creating altars that serve as anchors of remembrance, grounding and renewal... reminders of the sacredness at the heart of every transition.⁠
⁠
Mary McQuate, Founder of Living Altars, brings her deep artistry in creating altars and embodied ritual.⁠
⁠
Katie Silcox, renowned Ayurveda teacher, bestselling author, and spiritual guide, brings the feminine-form teachings of spiritual Ayurveda and the wisdom of living a truly enchanted life.⁠
⁠
Together, they will guide you into the ancient, embodied technologies of ritual—made practical, personal and powerful for your daily life.⁠
⁠
🪔 Step into ritual and reclaim the sacred in your life. Comment MEMBERSHIP for more information on joining us.
Sometimes the best investment you can make for you Sometimes the best investment you can make for your nervous system…is a $28 snake plant.⁠
⁠
I know, I know - there’s rent, groceries, spiritual retreats you low-key regret and maybe that ⁠
collagen powder subscription you never canceled.⁠
⁠
But I will never regret spending money on plants.⁠
⁠
Because plants don’t just sit there looking pretty.⁠
⁠
They breathe with us.⁠
They clean our air.⁠
They calm our cortisol.⁠
They remind us—without words—how to be.⁠
⁠
Plants ARE the Buddhas we've been waiting for. ⁠
⁠
In that light - here are a few of my current green goddesses of choice (AKA natural air purifiers ⁠
that do way more than just look cute):⁠
⁠
🌿 Areca Palm – Humidifies the air + purifies formaldehyde. Great for your skin + your lungs. Also vibes like a little Florida vacation in a pot.⁠
⁠
🪴 Snake Plant (a.k.a. Mother-in-Law’s Tongue) – Releases oxygen at night, making it a dreamy bedroom companion.⁠
⁠
🌸 Peace Lily – Absorbs mold spores + brings literal peace to your environment. I keep one on my altar.⁠
⁠
🌵 Aloe Vera – Not just for burns. She also clears benzene from the air (think paint fumes + cleaning supplies). Bonus: she’s juicy and lush AF.⁠
⁠
🌬 Pothos & Spider Plants – Ridiculously easy to care for + workhorses for purifying air toxins. Great for beginner plant moms.⁠
⁠
Plants are more than decor.⁠
⁠
They’re medicine.⁠
⁠
Not just for the body, but for the spirit.⁠
⁠
They teach us that healing is slow, soft and seasonal.⁠
⁠
That purification isn’t something you force—it’s something you allow.⁠
⁠
✨ Want to soak in more plant wisdom and nervous system nourishment?⁠

According to Ayurveda, glowing skin + radiant beau According to Ayurveda, glowing skin + radiant beauty don’t begin with the latest serum or mask—they start in the gut. To get an instant window into the current status of your gut-health (both physical and psychospiritual) tune into these questions:

🍋 Are you hydrated? Are you drinking water with lemon in the morning? Or do you drink ice water or cold beverages?

✅ Swap the ice water for warm lemon water in the morning and sip warm water throughout the day to gently cleanse toxins (ama) and support healthy digestion.

🥕 What are you eating?

✅ What you eat becomes both your body and your mind. Highly processed foods do not give us good prana, or energy, while whole, seasonal, freshly prepared meals nourish our tissues.

👄 Are you chewing your food?

✅ Digestion begins in the mouth. Chewing thoroughly signals your digestive system to prepare for breakdown and absorption. Instead of rushing, slow down and savor each bite to support smoother digestion and assimilation.

💐 Are you eating in a beautiful environment, in an unrushed way?

✅ The environment around you becomes part of your food. Ayurveda suggests eating in a calm, pleasant space, without distractions, so your body can digest not just food, but also the subtle energy of your surroundings.

🧘🏼‍♀️ Do you feel nourished or weighed down after meals?

✅ How you feel post-meal is one of Ayurveda’s simplest diagnostic tools. A light, energized feeling indicates strong agni, while heaviness signals undigested ama.

🔥 Are you listening to your body’s cues of hunger and fullness?
 
✅ True hunger is the body’s signal that agni is ready. Eating before you’re hungry dampens digestion, while ignoring fullness creates overload. 

These simple awareness shifts can completely transform not only your digestion, but also your outer glow. 🌹✨
