There is a particular kind of quiet that settles over the garden during an eclipse. The light shifts. The air changes. The plants seem to hold their breath, waiting.

This Friday, August 28th, the Full Moon rises in mystical Pisces, bringing a partial lunar eclipse with her. She is the closing door to the eclipse corridor that opened with the Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 12th. And she arrives on the final days of Black August, a month of remembrance, resistance, and radical reflection.

There is a rhythm to the seasons—a quiet pulse that invites us to slow down, to learn, to gather. At Rising Rooted, we believe that healing is not a destination but a practice. And this season, we have curated a collection of workshops designed to help you root into that practice—through your hands, your voice, your body, and your memory.

Each workshop is an invitation. An offering. A thread in the tapestry of a life lived with intention.

Here is what we have planned.

Hibiscus and sumac belong to the second category. They are not merely ingredients—they are offerings. They carry the taste of survival, the sharpness of protection, and the sweetness of joy that persists even in bitter soil.

This summer, as the Vitex blooms and the Strawberry Moon rises, I invite you to meet these two ancestral plants. Learn their stories. Taste their medicine. And carry their wisdom into your own kitchen and garden.
