What’s the grief? Summer pressure (”Rest & Relaxation”) often triggers dysregulation, grief, financial stress, and anxiety for many but especially healers and sensitive souls.

How do I mourn? Anxiety is just anticipatory grief in disguise. If we can anticipate and prepare for loss, we can also intentionally anticipate and prepare for joy and success. Mourning creates space for both our losses and our wins.

Join the Collective on Wednesday, August 12th at 12:30 PM ET for a live New Moon Solar Eclipse Power Hour Ritual

Help the Collective by participating in the upcoming Collective Visioning meetings on August 17th @ 2PM, August 27th @ 7PM, September 8th @ Noon, & September 19th @ 12:30PM

SUMMER GRIEF IS REAL | The hidden losses burning our feet in the sun soaked sand

Hello, my fellow grieving healers!

I don’t know about you and those you work with, but I find that so many of us deal with deep, heavy grief during the summer months.

Summer comes with relentless promotional noise—promises of rest, relaxation, camping trips, pool parties, and effortless connection. But for those of us struggling with loss, financial hardship, estrangement, or trauma, the days between June and August often feel like empty promises and false advertising.

For healers and sensitive individuals who thrive on predictability and daily rituals, summer routine disruptions can also be deeply dysregulating. While everyone else seems to soak up Vitamin D, we are left in the corner wondering:

• Why is everyone so excited about summer?

• Is there something wrong with me that all I want to do is hide inside?

• Why do I feel like a goth who got dragged on a trip to Disneyland?

Transmuting Anxiety into Manifestation

It is completely valid to grieve, mourn, and feel sad, even on a sunny 85-degree pool day. Your grief matters just as much under the bright sun as it does in the frigid, rainy winter.

Sometimes, “great” things are precisely what trigger or activate our sadness or fear. Many of us learned early on that it feels dangerous to be happy or hopeful. We wait for the other shoe to drop because anxiety is often just anticipatory grief in disguise. We know how much past losses hurt, so our minds try to anticipate future losses to shield us from pain.

Here’s the thing though - If we can anticipate our grief through anxiety, can we not also anticipate our joy through manifestation?

What would happen if we prepared for our potential successes, our greatness, and our wildest dreams with the exact same energy we spend preparing for potential loss?

Live New Moon & Solar Eclipse Power Hour Ritual

Shape the Future of the Grieving Healer Collective

Believe it or not, the idea of this little community is coming up on it’s one year anniversary in October!?!?!

When this first started, I recognized a need I had for community with my fellow healers. It felt like, when we were in spaces together, there was always this unspoken requirement to appear a certain way, talk with a certain professional language, and meet others solely for the purpose of business and networking. It made me wonder - Can “professional” spaces exist with more authenticity and a focus more on support, our deep spiritual needs, and genuine human connection?

Thus - The Therapy Coven (now Grieving Healer Collective) was born! It started with rituals here and there. Some community gatherings for moral support. But as we look toward another year, I wonder, where could this lead?

And that’s where you come in collective! My hope has always and will always be for this to be a community lead group. So, as we look toward year two, I’m hoping we can work together to manifest this vision into being through a series of Collective Visioning Meetings.

Over the next two months, I will be hosting a few 1 hour gatherings to help us build out a clearer collective structure, a calendar of hopeful encounters and events for the next year, and any other creative ideas & visions we have for the collective going forward into year two and beyond.

All are welcome whether through quiet observation or enthusiastic participation. No contribution is too small. No idea is too obscure. Let’s see what we can make together!

Currently Scheduled Visioning Meeting Dates:

• Monday, August 17th at 2PM Eastern

• Thursday, August 27th at 7PM Eastern

• Tuesday, September 8th at Noon Eastern

• Saturday, September 19th at 12:30PM Eastern

Thank you, as always, for your grace and enthusiasm for this collective. I know deep in my heart that whether our virtual room is full or not and whether you read every word or catch this in a quiet moment weeks from now, this community shows up when we need it most.

My hope is that this space remains a soft place for you to land—when things are horrible, wonderful, or anywhere in between—so we can celebrate with you, grieve with you, or simply be together.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

Kelly

It has been a while! A whole moon cycle and then some, in fact. I sincerely appreciate all of your love and grace while I took this time to refuel, rest, and discern.

This past month has been quite the whirlwind of identity formation and spiritual deepening. I am continuing to learn how to live my life with all parts of myself—no matter how unpalatable or unproductive they may seem to a world obsessed with output. With every moment, I am learning more about what I need to feel truly connected with my mind, body, spirit, and community. It is because of this opportunity for deep contemplation that I have come to recognize exactly why I started this space in the first place.

I have joked in the past that I started this little Therapy Coven by accident. While there are parts of me that still feel that way, there are other parts that knew what they were doing all along. Those quieter parts working in my subconscious saw a deep need for community and connection, for validation and empathy, for resources, and for the radical hope that it is possible to sustain a calling to heal.

Now that I have spent some time inward—working on reforming and restoring my relationships with myself, others, and the world—I can see more clearly what my subconscious was trying to build all along.

Introducing the Grieving Healer Collective

Grief is energy, and energy cannot remain stagnant. As healers, we spend our days helping others move their sorrow from the inside out, teaching them how to flow with their pain instead of fighting against it.

Yet, we so often neglect the griefs accumulating in our own minds, bodies, spirits, and communities. The result is a quiet epidemic of overwhelm—a burnout tumor born from the vicarious trauma and unexpressed grief we collect, growing more cancerous over time.

The Grieving Healer Collective is an initiative designed to interrupt this cycle by co-creating spaces of refuge for healers to mourn our way back to ourselves, others, and the world. By cultivating havens for tending to our own griefs, deepening our relationships with fellow healers through the mutual exchange of knowledge and care, and uniting together to challenge these systems built to burn us out, we hope to shift the profession of healing from one of exhaustion to one of sustainability.

As Stephen Sondheim once wrote, “Someone is on your side. No one is alone.” While our individual griefs are unique in context, there are always threads of commonality. Once connected, those threads lighten the weight of our burdens enough that they can move more freely, making it possible to truly mourn, and truly heal. Healing is not meant to be done in silos of isolation. We do not have to do this alone.

Shifting from Coven to Collective: What is Changing?

I know many of you may be wondering: if this is no longer strictly a “coven,” are things going away?

To answer this quickly: No, and yes.

What is staying the same:

We are keeping the core containers that hold us together. You will still have access to:

• New & Full Moon Rituals

• Coven Connection Time

• Access to our Heartbeat Community space

• Regular blog posts, resources, and updates

What is evolving:

• A Shift in Structure: Days and times for offerings may shift. To make this space truly sustainable, events may be offered less by me alone. I will be actively working to increase collaboration, moving us toward a co-op style structure where others are encouraged to step up and lead.

• A Wider Circle: I want to shift this from a space just for mental health therapists to a refuge for healers of any kind who need respite, community, and resources.

Who is considered a “Healer”?

A healer is anyone who restores the health of the mind, body, spirit, or community by sitting with and walking alongside those who suffer. If you fill in the gaps, make things whole, or intervene to ease suffering, you belong here.

This includes, but is not limited to: Therapists, Energy Workers, Spiritual Guides, Yoga Instructors, Doctors, Nurses, EMTs, Clergy, Chaplains, Caregivers, Teachers, Artists, Activists, and First Responders.

Here Comes the Sun: An Invitation to Ritualize & Collaborate

The next two weeks hold incredibly powerful planetary and seasonal energy. We are going to use these transition points to actively ritualize our evolution in the Grieving Healer Collective and step into this re-imagining together.

I invite you to join us for two upcoming community-building events:

1. Super New Moon Ritual: Planting Seeds of Connection

• When: Sunday, June 14th at 7:00 PM - 9:00PM EDT

• The Intention: This Super New Moon in Gemini invites us to scatter and plant new seeds with the hopes of deepening our roots by adapting, learning, and connecting with our selves, others, and the world. We will focus on both the personal movements of this new moon as well as our collective movement by setting intentions around the ways we communicate and committing to the practice of curiosity to keep open the channels that lead us to the opportunities to explore new paths and directions.

• The Ritual: We will spend the first hour in community, visioning together what we see the Grieving Healer Collective becoming by embracing our collective knowledge and intuition. This will then be followed by setting both personal and collective intentions for this new era of our community which we will use to alchemize and transmute this coven into a collective.

• Supplies: A feather or fan (air), Light Blue or Yellow Candle (Gemini/Air), paper, pen, mandala coloring page (provided w/ RSVP), an offering for the collective (adding to one of the resource channels, leading a Reiki session, offering collective tarot/oracle readings, hosting a crafting hour, the ideas are endless!)

• Crystals & Herbs: Blue Lace Agate for throat chakra & communication; Clear Quartz for harmony and amplifying intentions; Moonstone for ground and balancing dualities; Tiger’s Eye for inspiritation and motivation; Chamomile for abundance, protection, & balance, Lemon Balm for clarity, calm & new beginnings; Peppermint for better communication, focus, and fresh start; Rosemary for clearing mental fog and boosting intuition

2. Summer Solstice Ritual: Birthing New Life from the Ashes

• When: Sunday, June 21st at 8:00-11:00AM EDT

• The Intention: As the Sun enters Cancer, we will wake up with the sunrise to celebrate Midsummer (Litha) and honor our intentions to support each other in finding ways to make our callings as healers more sustainable.

• The Ritual: This early morning gathering will begin with Sun Salutations to honor both our outer, physical sun and our inner, spiritual sun, followed by the collective power of engaging in the crafting of crowns of flower to remind us of the circle of the seasons and celebrate the abundance and good health that this community has brought us and will continue to bring us, and ending with a ritual of release and rebirth as we transmute the power and energy of the ashes of The Therapy Coven to reform into the Grieving Healer Collective.

• Supplies: Comfortable clothes, yoga mat/blanket if desired, fresh flowers (you could also use pipe cleaners tissue paper if allergies or access is an issue, get creative!), fire safe dish/cauldron, paper, pencil, yellow/orange/white candle (Sun)

• Crystals & Herbs: Moonstone & Sunstone for harmonizing the light and the dark; Citrine for for abundance and optimism; Carnelian for passion & motivation; Calendula for joy & abundance; St. John’s Wort for dispeling harmful energy; Mugwort for dreaming and enhancing intuition

Let’s take full advantage of these energies to foster connection, set our boundaries, and commit to a future of sustainable healing.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

Are you a therapist hiding your spiritual gifts? Are you a healer looking to ethically integrate magic into clinical care?

We Want to Hear Your Story

It’s time to stop hiding your magic and start amplifying your impact. Whether you are just stepping out of the broom closet or you’ve been out for years and want to lead the way for others, I want to talk to you. I am currently looking for guests to share their spiritual journeys and discuss how their identities as a spiritual being and a therapeutic practitioner intersect.

If this sounds like you, I invite you to proclaim loud and proud that you are a fellow TheraWitch and CLICK HERE to fill out the form to be one of our first guests.

I’m coming to you today with a heavy but hopeful heart. If you’ve watched the video above, you know that last week was a difficult one for me. As some of you may know—and some may be learning for the first time—I am autistic and ADHD. This means that in times of high stress or burnout, my support needs shift significantly.

Maybe it was that deeply emotional Scorpio moon that my body was preparing for, but needless to say, last week was a high support needs week for me.

When the Comms are Down

One of the most frustrating ways my neurodivergence manifests when I am dysregulated and overwhelmed is an inability to communicate. It’s more than just needing a “quiet day”—it is a literal loss of the ability to speak, send texts or emails, or engage in communication of any kind, even when my heart desperately wants to connect with the world around me.

I want to sincerely apologize for the silence and the missed rituals last week. I am still learning the unique ways my neurodivergence manifests as someone who is late-diagnosed and how to manage it in a way that honors what I need as well as what my communities need. And, I’m realizing now that when I hit a wall, I don’t just lose my voice—I lose the “spoons” for communication entirely. I’m hoping now that I have a deeper understanding of how my mind, body, and spirit respond to stress I can find better approaches and tools for dealing with moments like this in the future.

Claiming the Need for Rest

When I birthed my business as well as this community, my commitment was to build spaces that are equitable, accessible, and deeply affirming for all minds, bodies, and spirits. For that commitment to be true, I must also be an accommodating and understanding ‘boss’ to myself. In order to honor both the communities needs as well as my own, I will be:

• Taking a Moment to Rest: I am going on hiatus for approximately one month to focus on burnout recovery and deepen my understanding of how to better care for the unique needs of my body, mind, and spirit. This means that all Coven Connection meetings and Moon Rituals have been removed from the calendar through the end of May.

• Pausing Subscriptions: I want to honor your financial investments in this community by pausing all subscriptions during this time and will resume only when I return.

Looking Ahead: The Healers Cooperative

While this hiatus is mostly about rest and recovery, it is also about reconnecting with my original vision and calling. So, when I come back, the Therapy Coven will be evolving into something I’ve dreamed of from the start: a fully cooperative community.

My vision is to move away from a top-down model and toward a community where we all share our gifts. Imagine a space where:

• We exchange trainings and educational resources.

• We offer and receive care by creating opportunities for healing, connection, creation, or just presence.

• We bridge the gaps in access to care and education—financial, energetic, and emotional—for those who spend their lives healing others.

I Invite You to Dream With Me

This is an experiment, and I want you to be my co-creators. While I’m away, I invite you to reflect on these questions:

1. What would a Healers Cooperative look like to you?

2. What gifts would you want to share?

3. What support do you most need to receive?

Thank you for your endless patience, your empathy, and for being part of this authentic, messy, beautiful journey. I am so grateful to have a community that understands that sometimes, the most sacred ritual we can perform is the act of resting and starting anew.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

The Energy of the Moment

This is fire energy at its most extreme. Ruled by Mars, this New Moon isn’t about manifesting by wishing; it’s about manifesting by doing. As healers, we often overthink or second-guess ourselves, but that energy is officially “out the window”.

Personalizing the Ritual: What House is Your Moon Transiting?

To maximize this energy, identify where the moon is transiting in your personal chart. Each house offers a different “flavor” for your ritual:

• First: Self-Image. The first house, also called your Ascendant or Rising Sign, is associated with your public image. This is how the world sees you. It’s how you present yourself, from your style to your mannerisms.

• Second: Money and Values. The second house is all about your money, resources, and values. It can show how you make money, save it, or spend it. If you have self-worth issues, that shows up here, too.

• Third: Mind and Communication. The third house represents your thinking, learning, and speech. It’s also associated with early education, siblings, short trips, and neighbors.

• Fourth: Root and Home. The fourth house shows your early upbringing, family, and home. This is your foundation or root. The type of home you like and your mother issues are reflected here.

• Fifth: Creativity and Children. The fifth house rules everything you create, from the art you make to the books you write to your children. It’s the house of self-expression and romance. True love, parenting, sports, leisure, fame, speculation, the stock market, and gambling are fifth-house issues.

• Sixth: Work and Health. The sixth house might reveal the kind of work you do and how you do it. It’s also your health zone, so clues about your well-being and regimes fall here. Small pets are a sixth house thing, too.

• Seventh: Relationships. The seventh house is associated with all your partnerships, from business to marriage and everything in between, including enemies. Legal issues and public relations are also in the seventh house’s domain.

• Eighth: Intimacy and Shared Resources. Also called the house of transformation, the eighth is focused on all the things we share: loans, legacies, alimony, inheritances, and sex. It’s also associated with death.

• Ninth: Expansion and Higher Mind. The ninth house indicates how you broaden your horizons. Do you like to travel? Invest in higher education? Spend time meditating in ashrams? That shows up here. The ninth house is connected to spirituality, philosophy, and publishing.

• Tenth: Reputation and Career. The tenth house is concerned with career and status. This shows how high you can go - or fall. It’s the house of fame, recognition, and publicity.

• Eleventh: Social Life and Goals. You can find clues about your friends and groups in this sector. Do you roll deep with a posse or prefer to be a lone wolf? The eleventh house will also highlight your goals and how they happen, including those who help you along the way.

• Twelfth: Inner World and Self Undoing. The twelfth house represents your subconscious, introspection, and privacy. It’s also associated with secrets, prisons, and hospitals. The term ‘self-undoing’ refers to how we may unknowingly undermine ourselves or our goals. It’s the place where your subconscious works things out, as well as where you tend to hide. Your hidden enemies can be found here, too.

The “TheraWitch” New Moon Ritual

Prepare a candle, paper, and pen. Unlike many quiet rituals, this one requires physical movement to shift the energy in your body.

1. Claim Your Truth: Write down one active “I AM” sentence describing your new self.

2. Ignite the Vision: Hold your paper near a candle’s warmth (do not burn it) and state: “I choose what reflects my truth”.

3. The Physical Shift: Physically move to a new location—a different room or outside—to embody your new position.

4. The 24-Hour Action: Identify one concrete action you will take in the next 24 hours to signal this rebirth—whether it’s making a difficult call or a new investment in yourself.

5. Closing: Keep your candle burning until it extinguishes on its own to signify the completion of your transformation. The birthing process is over; it is time to move.

Transformation Complete - Hello New You!

As healers, we spend so much of our lives holding space for the “becoming”. We talk about the “womb time,” the processing, and the preparation required to heal. But this Aries New Moon reminds us that there is a shelf life for preparation. Eventually, the processing must turn into practice.

Whether you are a therapist, a coach, or a seeker, the invitation today is to stop treating your highest self like a private dream and start treating it like a present-day reality. Your future isn’t just waiting for you—it’s watching you.

When your candle eventually flickers out on its own, let it signify that the time for “trying” is over. The birthing process is complete. Now, it’s simply time to go out and do.

So mote it be. I can’t wait to meet the new version of you.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

It should come as no surprise that this plant has been used for many centuries as a tool for revival and healing. Just like our life cycles—moving from appearing dead and dry to alive once again with a little hydration and self-care—the Rose of Jericho can be a powerful tool to work with alongside the moon phases.

Battling the “Emotional Mold”

But good Goddess, is this plant fickle and prone to mold! I have honestly lost track of the times I have had to let it shrivel back into its happy little tumbleweed state in order to recover. I doused it with cinnamon in an attempt to bring abundance, but the mold kept coming back. I even tried submerging it in water, but the plant was just like, “Please let me just have a nice little stable home that I’m used to, and then we can discuss full immersion later.”

So, I let it dry up again for a whole moon cycle. Then, this past New Moon in Pisces, I figured—we’re in the water signs, let’s see how this goes one more time. But this time, I had learned my lesson. I stacked it cozy on top of some rocks, used distilled water, and hit every spot of mold with a vinegar and water spritz. Y’all, I can proudly say—my Rose of Jericho is officially mold-free!

Blooming vs. Thriving: A Libra Full Moon Reflection

As I sit here preparing for this Libra Full Moon, I can’t help but reflect on my journey. We have had some REALLY intensive energies lately. What the Rose of Jericho taught me is that dramatic shifts might take a few downfalls before we finally are able to bloom and thrive.

If you are feeling broken down and tired because you have been doing everything “right”—rituals, intentions, routines—and yet you’re feeling overwhelmed, ask yourself: What if it has been working the whole time? What if these past cycles have been the time your mind, body, and spirit needed to adapt to this new you?

I realized my plant would bloom every time, but it struggled to have a bloom that wasn’t tainted with mold. I had to go back into my little tumbleweed cocoon until I addressed my emotional mold. Now, I am waking up feeling prepared for the final release and the balance I have been longing for.

Lunar Minded Intervention: Somatic Pendulation

As therapists who appreciate the power of working with the moon, I want to share intervention ideas that quite literally align with the stars. Due to the theme of this full moon being the balance of the divine feminine and divine masculine, I was struck by the power of utilizing pendulation with clients.

The Rhythm of Contraction and Expansion

For those who have not heard of pendulation before, it is a concept from Peter Levine and Somatic Experiencing described as, “the rhythm between contraction and expansion.” It emphasizes the importance of titration (dosing) in trauma and grief work. In other words, we need time to contract into the safety of our dried, curled-up state before we take the risk of the discomfort that comes with blooming.

Try exploring this conversation with your clients:

• Where do they feel the divine feminine and divine masculine in their body?

• Give them a moment to notice how each feels, going back and forth (pendulating) between the two.

• Ask: What does our divine feminine have to say to us? What does our divine masculine have to say? Sometimes one part of ourselves is hogging the microphone, and we just need to give the other parts a chance to perform. You may find they have just as much wisdom as the part that is constantly at the front.

Ritual Invitation: Balancing Our Divine Beings

You are invited to join me for our Full Moon in Libra ritual. We offer a “Power Hour” at the peak or a “Reasonable Hour” ritual for those following their own body’s schedule.

• Supplies: Anointing oil/perfume, a mirror, a soft wrap (scarf or blanket), journal, and music.

• Power Hour: Wednesday, April 1st @ 9:30PM EST

• Reasonable Hour: Thursday, April 2nd @ 5:30PM EST

May you honor the wisdom of your tumbleweed times just as much as your blooms, trusting that even in the drying up and molding, you are simply preparing for a more beautiful healthy resurrections.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

JOIN THE COVEN

Something has been on my heart recently: the immense pressure placed upon us as healers to be the “knowers of all.” We are expected to be the blueprints of what “healed” looks like. But what happens when we are healers who are wounded? Who are in the thick of our own process? Who just want to be raw and broken rather than a polished role model?

I think this is particularly prevalent right now. As the world teeters in chaos, people look to us and ask, “What now?” and every fiber of our being wants to shout, “F*ck if I know.” Many of us are navigating this collective upheaval for the first time alongside our clients. Yet, a voice inside insists, “This is no time for your humanity. You must be like the Divine and lead.”

But what if our unknowing is the answer? What if admitting we don’t know—and can never know—is the intervention? There is power in modeling how to handle the void just as much as there is power in modeling the “fix.” When we run from the Great Mystery, we do ourselves and our clients a disservice. Because if there is one thing I know, it is that I will never know it all.

The Pisces New Moon: The Art of Dissolving

As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces represents the cosmic ocean where all rigid boundaries—including the ones we build around our professional identities—simply melt. This is the end of the astrological year; the quiet, dark “void” that must exist before the fire of Aries resets the cycle. But we cannot birth a new version of ourselves if we are still gripping onto the old one afraid of what it would mean to transform.

So, as we prepare to close the book on this astrological year, what knowings are you still holding onto out of comfort? What would it mean to dissolve this need to know and be the expert, letting it wash out with the tide to make space for the new tide coming in? How can we take the sand and dirt of this old year and use these healing waters to form and shape into something new? What beautiful creation are you molding and preparing to put on display in this new cycle?

Ritual Invitation: Community Release

If the idea of sitting in the “unknowing” alone feels a bit daunting, I invite you to bring your “sand and dirt” to the Coven this week to prepare for molding. We will be holding space to honor these transitions and practice this release together in real-time.

Whether you need the high-intensity momentum of a Power Hour or the grounded pace of a Reasonable Hour, there is a seat at the table for your humanity no matter your experience and engagement in moon rituals.

• Power Hour: Wednesday, March 18th at 8:30 PM EST

• Reasonable Hour: Thursday, March 19th at 5:30 PM EST

Come as you are—wounded, healing, or somewhere in the messy colorful or gray in between

RITUAL SUPPLIES:

• Bowl of Water (can be particular moon water from a previous moon or fresh water, I might use my lunar eclipse water myself)

• A small piece of paper (preferably dissolvable)

• A pen

• Any additional altar adornments (crystals, salt, candles, etc.)

May this New Moon give you the permission you may have been afraid to give yourself, others and the world around you. The permission to be as deep and as mysterious as the ocean. We may not ever know how far it goes or all that lies underneath. But we can appreciate the expanse and try to go a little deeper with every dive.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

This interference also included a glitch in the Heartbeat scheduling system, which showed the wrong times for our session. I’m working to have that corrected for all future gatherings, but I didn’t want you to miss out on this powerful energy just because of some retrograde static!

The Astrology: A Bridge Between Earth & Water

We are currently sitting at a powerful celestial crossroads. In this session, we review the impact of:

• The Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: Eclipses are “super-powered” full moons that act as cosmic course-correctors. In Virgo, this eclipse highlights the South Node—inviting us to shed outdated perfectionism, hyper-criticism, and the “over-functioning” patterns that often lead to practitioner burnout.

• Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: With the ruler of Virgo (Mercury) currently retrograde in the watery, intuitive sign of Pisces, our rational minds are being asked to take a backseat. Communication might feel blurry, but our “felt sense” and intuition are heightened.

• The Virgo-Pisces Axis: This is the axis of Healing and Service. We are exploring the tension between Virgo’s need for structure/boundaries and Pisces’ call for compassion/dissolution of the ego.

The Ritual: Somatic & Energetic Clearing

For therapists and holistic practitioners, maintaining “energetic hygiene” is vital. This ritual is designed to help you physically and symbolically “drop the weight” of the stories you’ve been carrying for yourself and your clients.

Gather your supplies:

• Candle: White (purity) or light green (healing).

• Paper & Pen: For identifying what is ready for release.

• Soil: A small bowl to represent the Earth (Virgo) and grounding.

• Fire-safe Dish: For the transmutation of the written word.

• Crystals: Black Tourmaline or Smoky Quartz for anchoring the nervous system.

• Salt & Cleansing Tools: To define your sacred container.

As I grow this space, my goal is to make sure our magic is accessible—no matter how chaotic your schedule gets. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be recording our Power Hour rituals moving forward. Whether you’re seeing clients or taking personal time, you’ll never have to miss a gathering again.

New Live Offering: To ensure we have a consistent rhythm for our Reasonable Hour Rituals, 5:30 PM EST is now our dedicated time for live connection on the new and full moons.

This new meeting time begins TODAY! If you missed our session this morning and prefer the magic of an in-person community connection over the recording, I’ll see you later today. I am so looking forward to making this a regular part of our collective practice and providing a reliable space for us to ground together.

Before we go any further, I want to acknowledge how much many of us are carrying right now. The nervous system knows when something is shifting. Mine has been moving constantly this past week—between shutdown and urgency, collapse and mobilization—as everything unfolds around us.

So when I reflect on the chaos of this past week, it comes as no surprise that we are under a full moon. Truths are surfacing—loud, undeniable, and impossible to ignore—challenging the paths we are walking both personally and collectively. What we do in our own lives ripples outward, shaping the world we share.

The Leo Full Moon carries the heat of fire and the call of courage. Each of us brings our own kindling to these flames of change and growth. The question is not whether you will contribute your energy, but where you will place it. Will you feed the bonfire of justice, integrity, and liberation—or will your fire be offered to cycles of destruction and ego-driven domination?

Leo asks us to set our ego aside so that our hearts and passions can take the lead. Leo roars to awaken us to the ways our fears keep us small, silent, and complicit in harms and violence occurring both now and across generations. And with that roar, we are called to rally—to find the bravery to root ourselves in love rather than fear, and to become fire-starters of resistance.

But maybe you’re not ready to start a fire. Maybe you haven’t yet learned how to organize the wood and kindling, or how to tend the flame once it’s lit. That makes sense. Fire is not instinct alone—it is knowledge passed down. Many of us were never taught how to work with heat safely, collectively, or sustainably.

The Leo Full Moon reminds us that we are not meant to learn this in isolation. We learn by watching those who have carried fire before us—elders, ancestors, teachers, and organizers who know when to stoke the flames and when to let them rest. We learn by sitting close enough to feel the warmth, listening to stories of what burned too fast, what endured, and what kept communities alive through long nights.

This lunation does not ask us to leap into the blaze unprepared. It invites us to practice humility, to seek guidance, and to remember that tending fire is a relational act. There is wisdom in learning, in apprenticing, and in allowing ourselves to be shaped by those who have survived, resisted, and loved before us.

Even choosing to learn how to tend the fire—rather than turning away from it—is an act of devotion and resistance.

So today, I invite you to join me in working with this Full Moon in Leo through our Power Hour Ritual beginning at 4:30 PM. Together, we will explore the emotional blockages and weights we are carrying, reconnect with our passions and hearts, and release what stands in the way of growing our bonfire of resistance.

We do not have to—and should not—do this work alone.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

JOIN THE COVEN

With everything happening in the world right now, it is far too easy to feel weighed down, stagnant, or spiritually overwhelmed. To make room for the discipline and manifestation Capricorn offers, we first have to clear the clutter.

That is why I am hosting two special events today in our coven to help us reset and realign.

LET’S CUT CORD at 1PM EST

RSVP at - https://app.heartbeat.chat/thetherapycoven/events/A2DACC

I don’t know about y’all, but I want to do everything in my power to release heavy energy before this next moon cycle begins. If you’ve been feeling “stuck” or tied to old patterns, people, or anxieties, this bonus ritual is for you.

We are engaging in a Cord Cutting Ritual to sever ties with anything trying to hinder the foundations we are building.

What You Will Need:

• Two small candles: Preferably one white (to represent the light you are calling in) and one black (to absorb the darkness/unwanted energy).

• Herbs and oils: Choose scents that signify protection or release to you.

• Carving tool: To etch your intentions into the wax.

• Twine: The physical representation of the cord we are cutting.

• Fire-safe plate or bowl: Safety first!

• Salt: For protection and creating a sacred boundary.

• Cleansing tools: Use your preferred method (smoke, sound, or spray) to clear your space.

• Petition Paper: To write down exactly what you are releasing.

NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN POWER HOUR RITUAL @ 2PM EST

RSVP at - https://app.heartbeat.chat/thetherapycoven/events/EE9E1E

Once the cords are cut and the energy is cleared, we move into our regularly scheduled Power Hour Ritual. This is where the real work begins. We will be leaning into Capricorn’s earth energy to plant seeds of ambition, discipline, and long-term success by creating and blessing our road maps for this next year.

Potential Tools for Intention Setting and Altar Creation:

This is very much a “you do you boo” - magic is all about connecting with your personal power and what feels like the best fit for you. But here are some suggestions

• A candle: Indigo, black, grey are traditional color associations, but you can also use green and white candles during a Capricorn New Moon for intention setting, clarity, and prosperity for the year ahead.

• Crystals/Stones: clear quartz, black tourmaline, tourmalinated quartz, jet, obsidian, malachite, turquoise, green aventurine, black moonstone

• Herbs/Tea: Valerian, rosemary, chamomile, tarragon.

• Essential Oils/Incense: Frankincense, cypress, spruce, fir, chamomile, rosemary.

Don’t let this potent energy pass you by. Whether you are joining for the cord cutting release, the power hour ritual, or both, I can’t wait to see you my fellow therawitches!

FUN SIDE NOTE: if we hit 200 members, I’ll be sending out some witchy goodies to five members selected at random, including the Auralign Astrology Planner. Come check out the connective, care-centered spaces we’re curating—let’s keep growing this community together.

It’s been a little while. I suppose that’s just the waning moon getting to me. Introspection has felt necessary over the past few weeks—non-negotiable, even. I’ve had several “come to Hecate” moments, if you will, around the ways I’ve been neglecting my own needs and slipping into a scarcity mindset as the world feels colder and more visceral with each passing day.

What has this waning Sagittarius moon been like for you? Have you felt a deep need for release while also facing hard truths that have come into sharper focus? What are you done with?

I know what I am done with.

I am done with the ways I keep letting the bullies win.
I am done with numbness.
I am done with giving up.
I am done with letting terrible things happen simply because I have no spoons left to give.
I am done with handing over my hope and my joy.

So when Collette reached out today to offer a time and place for intentional energy work—to gather in ritual in response to the state violence and dehumanization we are witnessing—I felt something shift. Relief. Gratitude. A spark of remembering.

Ritual is never useless, especially when practiced in community. I don’t think I need to tell this particular coven, but ritual is one of the most powerful tools we have for making intentional shifts in our inner and relational worlds. Ritual is where we metabolize grief, rage, fear, and longing. It is where we remember who we are and what we stand for.

Ritual is meaning-making.

Viktor Frankl wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” When we ritualize, we are practicing that freedom. We are choosing presence over collapse, connection over isolation, and intention over despair—despite our circumstances.

As therapists, we know that state violence does not only live “out there.” It lives in nervous systems. It shows up as dissociation, despair, hypervigilance, moral injury, anticipatory grief, and exhaustion. It shows up in our clients—and in us. Ritual does not replace material action, mutual aid, protest, policy work, or care for concrete bodies. But ritual does support our capacity to stay awake, resourced, and relational enough to keep showing up for those things.

If you choose to join, I invite you to come as you are. You do not need to be your “highest self.” You do not need to feel hopeful. Bring your anger. Bring your sorrow. Bring your fatigue. Bring your grief. Bring the names of those you are holding in your heart. Let us mourn together and allow this grief to move—from the inside out—softening the icy conditions in our hearts and our communities.

You might light a candle for protection—not to harden, but to clarify your boundaries.
You might call in ancestors, guides, or deities who know how to walk at the crossroads without losing themselves.
You might speak aloud what you refuse to normalize any longer.
You might place a hand on your body and remind your nervous system that it is not alone.

As witches and therapists, our magic is not domination—it is attunement. It is witnessing. It is the radical act of staying human in inhumane conditions. This ritual is one small way we practice that together.

May it help us release what is not ours to carry.
May it strengthen our capacity to resist numbness.
May it return us—again and again—to choice, to meaning, and to each other.

HOW TO JOIN

Tonight at 9:00 PM EST / 6:00 PM PST, we will be gathering in the Heartbeat community for Reiki Against ICE. Colette Dalton will be leading an intentional Reiki session offering collective care, grounding, and energetic support for those impacted by immigration enforcement and state-sponsored terror.

This is a space for nervous-system regulation, collective mourning, and intentional energy work in the face of dehumanization and forced disappearance. You do not need to be a Reiki practitioner to attend. You do not need to have the “right” words, spells, or level of hope. Your presence is enough.

We gather not to bypass reality, but to tend to the psychic and spiritual wounds created by systems that rely on fear, separation, and harm. We gather to strengthen our capacity to remain connected, resourced, and awake—to ourselves, to each other, and to the work ahead.

First, thank you so much for your patience. I took an unplanned break this past moon cycle to focus my intentions and release anything that was getting in the way of the plans I’m calling in for 2026.

That pause included a deeply meaningful and powerful trip to Arizona, where I visited Sedona, Antelope Canyon, and the Grand Canyon for the very first time. There were tears. There were vortex energy rituals. There was stillness — sitting in awe of the vastness of creation. Most of all, there was a necessary recentering so that I can step into this new year fully present for you and for the community we are building together.

New Moon, New Communities

Sagittarius New Moon Reflection

Living into our truth, freedom, & wisdom

I don’t know about you, but I am done living inside the small boxes created by my own limiting beliefs.

If you’re feeling the same, this Sagittarius New Moon is for you. This lunation is about expansion, freedom, and courage.

Is the life you’ve built no longer fitting? Tear it down. Build something bigger. Or walk away entirely and find a landscape where your dreams have room to grow.

This moment asks us to:

• Dream bigger than we ever have before

• Do something that feels scary but aligned

• Release old identities so new ones can emerge

This is also grief work.

Some of you know that my time in Arizona included completing my Death and Grief Studies certification with Dr. Alan Wolfelt. In his Six Needs of Mourning model, the development of a new self-identity is the fourth need — and for good reason.

When we lose a person, a place, a belief, or a version of ourselves, we are invited to ask:
Does who I was still fit? Or am I being called to become someone new?

Questions to Reflect On for 2026 🌱

• What excites you about 2026?

• Who are you becoming?

• What could be possible if you allowed yourself to believe bigger?

Like Elphaba, let’s live into our limitlessness and defy gravity together.

Guidance from the Great Mystery

A New Moon Reading from Ethereal Visions Tarot Luna Edition

Well, per usual, the cards are anything but subtle. Like, I straight up pulled Death in reverse followed by The Fool upright?!?!?! Ok, yeah.

Translation? 2025 was a year of stagnation for many of us — difficulty letting go, lingering grief, and feeling stuck at the end of a chapter. Death reversed often points to resistance around endings.

And then The Fool arrives for 2026 saying: It’s time.

Time to step forward.
Time to begin again.
Time to trust the journey.

Tarot Reflection Prompts:

• What are you leaving behind in 2025?

• What kind of life are you choosing in 2026?

• What belief must you invite in to live as your most authentic self?

Thank you all again for all of your support as I follow The Great Mystery’s call to start this community. I am so excited to geek out with all of you over in our new community on Heartbeat and make this 2026 the most grounded and centered yet.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

🌙 Preparing for Emotional Transformation

(New Moon Journaling Prompts)

This New Moon is an especially potent time for shadow-work, emotional renewal, and calling in new beginnings. Use the reflections below to prepare your energy and deepen your ritual experience.

1. A Deep Truth You’re Ready to Face

What truth have you been avoiding that is now ready to be acknowledged?
When you allow that truth to rise without resistance, what happens in your body—your breath, your posture, your heartbeat, your emotional landscape?

2. What You’re Releasing & What’s Emerging

What part of you is dissolving so that something new can take shape?
What is being shed? What is forming?
How does this transformation show up across your body, mind, and spirit?

3. The Fear of Becoming Someone New

What fears arise when you imagine stepping into this new version of yourself?
What do you worry might happen if you allow change?
And just as importantly:
What becomes possible when you choose to embrace this transformation and release what no longer serves you?

May this Scorpio New Moon offer you the courage to meet your truth with softness and the clarity to step into what’s becoming. I can’t wait to gather with you tonight and witness the magic you’re creating.

We recently had an amazing ritual for the full moon with beautiful reflections and opportunities to connect deeply over our collective threads. And, on this rich moment in time with the 11/11 portal opened wide, I am deeply reflecting on what needs to be released in order for the big dreams of this Therapy Coven to come into reality.

Manifestation is More Than Possessions and Status

It is so easy to focus solely on the practical, earthly things we want, like a certain amount of money, a specific follower count, or a title in the professional world. However, that is not what spiritual manifestation is truly about.

It’s about manifesting the feeling those things would generate. What difference would that success make in your world, your life, your community, and your relationships?

• If I were to obtain that financial success, would it help me find peace because I have put aside my control, anxieties, and overwhelm?

• If I had all of those followers or clients, would I be more present and grounded because I will have released unrealistic expectations and the need to be recognized?

• If I am finally acknowledged as an expert, will I finally feel knowledgeable and confident because I will have released my need for knowing and the feeling of incompetence?

Releasing Expectations and Embracing The Great Mystery

As I work to move this Therapy Coven into the next phase of its journey, I am naming and claiming a release of my expectations—and of anyone else’s as well.

I release the anxiety that comes from deadlines and timelines. But, most of all, I release the need for knowing exactly what this is and what it is forming into.

Instead, I manifest:

• Openness to where the great mystery is leading us together.

• Peace that I know can come from deep, rich relationship and community.

• Connectedness and feeling safe enough to be vulnerable and authentic.

• Excitement that comes with receiving beautiful, unexpected gifts from the universe.

Commune with Us: Your 11/11 Release and Manifestation Ritual

Tonight, if you are able and willing, I would love to commune with you in spirit at 11:11 PM (EST) about all the things you are releasing and manifesting for not just our coven but for yourself.

May we use our combined powers to deepen our magic and manifestation.

Ritual Invitation:

1. Release: Write down all that you want to release and use your preferred magical method to release it (e.g., burning it).

2. Manifest: Write down the feelings and experiences you want if your biggest dreams become reality. Hold that feeling deeply to your heart and place the note in a sacred spot (an altar, under your pillow, etc.).

If you would like to join me in real-time tonight at 11 PM EST, you can sign up at the link below. This will be a short, sweet 30-minute gathering to actively release and manifest together.

Upcoming: The Feisty New Moon in Scorpio and Mercury Retrograde

If you can’t join us tonight, I look forward to seeing you at the New Moon Ritual (I am now offering two times for better access!):

• Peak Hour: 11/20 at 1:00 AM EST

• Reasonable Hour: 11/19 at 6:00 PM EST

This new moon is going to be a feisty one! Not only is it in Scorpio, but we are deep into Mercury Retrograde. It’s time to deal with the biggest, recurring communication breakdowns. This period calls us to the depths of our emotion and deep passions. With the great intensity of healing work comes great transformation.

What is getting in the way of you breaking open the cocoon so you can finally spread your wings and fly?

Manifesting Coven Expansion - Rituals, Hangouts, and Podcasts, Oh my!

Finally, I am working on gathering interest for folks to increase their commitment and participation in this Therapy Coven. There are many ways to get involved, including knowledge sharing, increased spiritual offerings, and my newest venture—PODCASTING!

Yes, friends! I have decided to start developing a podcast for us. The vision is to feature all of the magical gifts and skills we bring to this community through intentional one-on-one interviews and panel discussions about what it means to be a “Therawitch.”

I want to give voice to the intersections of therapy and spiritual, holistic, witchy practice.

If you are interested in being a guest on the podcast, please click here and fill out this form. Priority will be given to paid subscribers as a thank you for supporting the coven financially, in addition to established experts. If you are not a paid subscriber, please still fill out the form!

Guidance from The Great Mystery for the Coven: An 11.11 Portal Reading from Radiant Wilds Atlas

To gain final clarity on what to release and what to manifest during this potent 11.11 portal, I pulled two cards from the Radiant Wilds Atlas | Navigate Inner Desert Dreamscapes asking: What does the Coven need to focus on manifesting and releasing to let these visions come to light, and what do we need to be aware of?

The cards we received speak directly to the power of our combined intention: The Ace of Swords and The Knight of Wands.

The Ace of Swords: My mind is a fertile field

The Ace of Swords shows a woman’s head cracked open, blooming with flowers that exceed the skull’s constraints. Her eyes are closed, receptive, and calm—a perfect image for the peaceful vision we are manifesting.

This card is a profound message about potential and mental breakthrough. It tells us that a cerebral shift is occurring, allowing us to outgrow former limitations.

• Manifestation: Our minds are fertile fields. We are manifesting clarity, epiphany, and the ability to see beyond what we previously thought was possible. Water your thoughts with intention—where attention goes, energy flows.

• Release: The path to this breakthrough demands that we release the need for knowing or anticipating the result. We must commit to the truth, even the challenging one, and allow the unexpected, beautiful blooming to begin.

The Knight of Wands: I take action that serves the greater good

The Knight of Wands, bold and confident, races across the skies in her red dress, reaching past the sun to catch hold of the moon. She embodies fire power, initiative, and determination.

This is the Universe affirming that the current flows with us, supporting our endeavors and making us unstoppable.

• Action: We are empowered to take immediate, ambitious action toward our biggest collective dreams—whether that’s deepening the Coven’s community engagement or launching the podcast. Honor what stokes your inner fire and step into this power.

• Awareness: While inspiring initiative, the Knight of Wands reminds us of great power’s great responsibility. We must be deliberate. Before acting, we are called to contemplate how our vision benefits not just us, but others over time. We can catch the moon, but we must choose wisely how we use our potent energy.

The message is clear my fellow therawitches: Commit to the clear, fertile potential of our shared vision (Ace of Swords) so that we may charge forward with deliberate, fiery confidence (Knight of Wands).

We have the entire universe inside us. Let’s use our combined magic wisely to see our dreams take flight!

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

Trauma & Grief Therawitch

Intuitive Mystic Spiritual Guide

It’s already been said a billion times before but, F**K, it sucks to be a therapist right now. Y’all, this political climate is killing my ability to do basic self care, stay on top of admin, and not go into deep dissociative episodes between clients. Anyone else?

We really don’t talk enough about the fact that therapists are human too and need our own care or that we are sometimes working through our own personal traumas, financial crises, and dealing with losses and deaths on top of whatever is happening politically and in our therapy office. So, when I sat down for my spiritual practice the other night, I had a good hard talk with my spirit guides and my intuition about the deep amount of grief, depression, and anxiety that I was experiencing. I was beating myself up over not getting things done, being in debt, being behind on anything and everything at home and at work. Then, after pulling some cards and sitting with the meanings, I realized that I was not giving myself enough credit or grace for all of the things I have been through in the past 2 years.

“We really don’t talk enough about the fact that therapists are human too and need our own care”

While working at a nonprofit I was dealing with regular disability discrimination on top of grieving and mourning my father’s death after 15 years of cognitive decline from Alzheimer’s Disease. I was literally making myself sick working because my job would not offer me a very reasonable accommodation which ultimately forced me into short term disability. This put me significantly behind in my licensure process as I was not able to work for 2 months and lost access to weekly supervision. I ultimately had to decide if I was going to return to work and risk having to sue the organization for discrimination or if I would just cut ties to start my own private practice.

Ultimately, I decided to resign and opened my practice which brought significant relief initially. However, starting your own business is not for the faint of heart and brings a lot of it’s own stressors and pressures. Do I have the skills and knowledge to do it? Of course! But, was I in the place to be able to be fully present and do what it took to grow the practice? Kind of? I mean I technically did it. However, it wasn’t without a lot of tears, staring at the wall not knowing what to do next, more tears, and making A LOT of mistakes. Now, almost a year later, I feel like I’m making my way back to that burned out and drained version of myself that I thought I was done with when I left the nonprofit.

But, here’s the thing. I wasn’t planning to start my private practice then. I certainly wasn’t planning to start a private practice during the worst political climate in recent history. And, I definitely wasn’t planning on continuing to work through my grief over my father’s death and the awkward transitions that come with it personally and among family. So, yeah, my mental health is CRAP right now.

And I’m sure yours is too. I’m certain that I’m not alone in thinking about calling up an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) because it feels like nothing is helping. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is tired of asking their psychiatrist to increase meds or see if we need to add another one in. I’m know I’m not the only one whose relationships with family and friends are deeply suffering because we are at capacity almost 24/7.

Community Care: When the Systems Fail Us

When the structures designed to support us—governments, institutions, and even our professional gatekeepers—are actively failing, discriminatory, or simply incapable of holding the sheer volume of collective pain, community care becomes revolutionary action. We cannot wait for top-down policies to shift; we must build resilient, horizontal networks of mutual aid now. This Coven isn’t just a nice idea; it’s an essential act of self-preservation when the established safety nets have proven brittle or absent. We are each other’s most reliable infrastructure for survival and healing in the face of systemic abandonment.

So, it got me thinking. I was called to create this coven because I recognized that we as therapists need more support physically, mentally, and spiritually. I started it because I knew I needed community right now more than ever and a place to express my deep grief and frustrations all while using mystical magic to try to release it and manifest changes in myself and the world. But, now I’m realizing, I don’t just need it sometimes, I need it as often as possible. So here’s my proposal -

“I think all of us mental health providers need a higher level of care to survive this.”

We have over 200 people currently invested and subscribed to this coven. Over 200 people who are ALL skilled and educated healers. Over 200 people in need of support from others who get it and are deep in the trenches of mental health care. What if this coven could be our IOP alternative? What if we were able to create a calendar of offerings throughout the week at a variety of times that we could jump into as often as we want or need? What if those offerings came from our fellow coven members who are more than skilled to lead?

Because, here’s the thing y’all, we assess folks all of the time for their level of care needs. And, quite frankly, I think all of us mental health providers need a higher level of care to survive this. This is not a time for hiding in our shells and waiting for the danger to end. It is time to get out of defense mode and start playing offense.

A Collective Reading | The 7 of Wands

You recently had a vision - you are a priestess, a leader, an energetic plea for peace and justice. You have what you need – the resources, the knowledge, and the revolutionary intent to create something both educational and breathtaking – but a community, an individual, or a system unwilling to comply sits beside you.

There is a system of power that excuses hate violence; the system could run through a police state, a political power, or a lover. Through intimidation, scare tactics, and lies, they urge you to run and hide from your own magic.

The SEVEN OF WANDS cultivated a force field that surrounds the space where she creates her elixirs, makes her art, and strengthens her intuition – away from the claws of the oppressor. She asks you to do the same: strengthen your magnetic field, strengthen your core beliefs, and realize that you have this.

We Have What We Need - So Let’s Use It

Our Coven is the force field. We’ve got this. Let’s make it the higher level of care we need and deserve especially as we come up on the complicated emotions that accompany the November/December holiday season. So, let me know - Would this be beneficial to you? Would you be willing to lead something once a month for the community? Comment below! Let me know your thoughts or ideas for an offering that you want to gift to the community. Let’s breath together. Let’s meditate together. Let’s heal this collective trauma one moment at a time in community.

In hope of roots deepening and buds blooming,

Also wanted to share in case this could be helpful for anyone or their clients during this difficult, complicated season that I will be offering a Grieving Estrangement support group from now until the end of December both virtually and in person in partnership with The Grief House. Reservations can be made at www.griefhouse.org and ticketing is tiered so that everyone and anyone can participate.

In the stillness of morning, we met with the sun slowly rising. As we waited for the peak of the Libra moon, we shared our hopes for this new spiritual journey together as fellow therapists and spiritual beings. We reflected on how we hope to live our lives together, what love we are willing to receive from one another, and how we can protect each other through the formation of this collective community.

We then began a new moon ritual to set our intentions for this great time of manifestation. We lit our candles, breathed together, blessed the elements, wrote our affirmations, visualized in harmony, spoke our hopes out loud, locked in our frequencies with oil, and offered thanks and gratitude for our coming together in this beautiful quiet moment of stillness.

Our Plant Ally

Then, as I do with any new moment, we pulled from my DIRT GEMS deck to see what plant may be our ally on this spiritual journey together over the next six months until the Libra Full Moon shines its bright light. And, y’all, I was CRYING. Big wet tears! You will never believe what card jumped right out, face up—

ASHWAGANDHA - The Loyal Endurer

I’m still in utter shock. Of all the plants. The stress, anxiety reducing, calming Ashwagandha could not have been more perfectly chosen for the beginning of a spiritual community of therapists.

Here is what the card read:

Ashwagandha is the long game, the big wide horizon view. This plant is known for building endurance and stamina. Ashwagandha is not a quick fix, a faster explosive relationship, or a flyby night companion. This plant is in it for the long haul and asks you to commit, putting in the time required to shift, to grow, and to heal.

Everyone is capable of change, but change rarely happens overnight. To create new patterns in our bodies and minds, we must re-pave the pathways or, rather, carve entirely new ones. You must tell yourself sweetly and quietly each day, “I am building this; it will be.”

Ashwagandha is an ember that burns long and slow, warming from the inside out and creating a lasting heat that can move through the most buried cold. Ashwagandha can create or restore that vital center that is your own true, unique, and authentic desire. Ashwagandha helps you reconnect with that place that is passionate, energized, and resilient, but you must work for it, coaxing the flames from the bank of embers.

If you feel like your light is dim, like your lust for life is a sagging flag, like you wake up feeling unrested and unsure, Ashwagandha is a dedicated ally. Sometimes the pilot light goes out and we need to relight it. Sometimes we lose our way, wandering on a trail that does not lead us to our greatest potential. Ashwagandha will help you find your way back, igniting your spirit for the many twists and turns that every important journey will require.

I knew Ashwagandha was speaking directly to the soul of The Therapy Coven’s formation the minute I read this line. It gave me the chills. Because, what is the purpose of a coven but to be a place for intentional spiritual community that causes shifting, growth, and healing through the power of showing up together and for each other with your fellow spiritual beings. We are all professionals who guide others through long, arduous processes of change and encourage them to find supportive communities because we understand that true, lasting transformation is not a quick fix, but a slow, dedicated unfolding that should never be done in isolation. This collective is our mutual spiritual commitment to the long haul, reminding us that we must apply the same endurance, patience, and loyalty to our own spiritual and emotional renewal that we encourage in our clients.

As someone who just started their own private practice less than a year ago, I have spent the majority of my time trying to find ways to get my name out there and let folks know that I exist. I have tried a multitude of approaches including networking, social media, word of mouth, trying to make SEO magic happen, you name it! But the one thing that I have found to be really helpful on multiple levels are those niched down LISTSERVS such as Inclusive Therapists, Neurodivergent Therapists, The National Queer & Trans Persons of Color Network, and Therapy for Black Girls just to name a few.

Now that I am further into business ownership, I have found that the majority of my clients have come to me because of my background in spirituality - specifically my work as an intuitive mystic and tarot & oracle reader. So, I started thinking, does a witchy therapist LISTSERV even exist?

I started searching all the keywords and while you may find a holistic therapy site or two nothing specifically specifies at “therapists who are witches”. Well, this took me down a whole creative brainstorm which hasn’t stopped since. All I could think about was wouldn’t it be cool if -

• There was an actual coven of therapists

• That coven could actually do rituals together

• Other witches could easily find therapists who practice witchcraft and incorporate it into their clinical work

• We could offer trainings on integrating spiritual practices and how to get insurances to pay for them

• We could offer mental health certifications for astrologists, mediums, psychics and other spiritual practitioners and cross network with them

• And the list keeps going . . .

So, I created a google form for funsies and posted it in some Facebook groups who I thought may have other like minded “therawitches” looking for more community connection.

To my surprise, over 130 people responded to the form within 48 hours! I am honestly still in a bit of shock. But, it just goes to show that this is clearly an unmet need in the mental health world. And, as they say, if not you than who!?

So, here I am now, starting a newsletter/blog because maybe, I’m not as alone in the mental health field as I thought. And, if you’re relating to this post in any way, you hopefully now know that you are not alone either. That there are other witchy therapists out there being led by their spirit guides, higher powers, and the universe to incorporate the mystery of life into clinical mental health to offer holistic, integrative healing just like you.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to share your interest in The Therapy Coven, I hope you will fill out my little google form with all of your ideas, hopes, dreams, and passions for this work and join with the other “therawitches” to make some powerful, healing magic together.
