Women and Self Care

Women and Self Care

‘Self Care’ is rooted deep in generations, the herstory of caring for ourselves, our friends, children and sisters out of necessity. 


Self-reliance is the survival aspect of Self Care. 


Control of women’s bodies has never been ‘care’ for them. We’ve had to provide that care to each other, and, radically, to ourselves. Our resilience has been through community, like underground, mycelial networks, sustained by compassionate understanding. 


There is a fatigue that comes from constantly advocating for one’s dignity and sovereignty. 

In the face of disempowering forces, both internal and external, may we focus our attention, and our resources into caring for each other. This care is fuel to build rich networks and, like the mushrooms, enables us to break down and metabolize the most formidable structures.

Apoptosis is your cells’ way of knowing when it’s time to peace out. In the biological processes of repair, growth and renewal, apoptosis is the inner knowing of the cell to die to make way for the next crop of cellular life.

Four recipes we'll be throwing down this season. We see the holidaze as a time to revel in the ginger and spice, to balance all the things that aren’t so nice. The flavors of the winter seasons are warming, stimulating, reminders of our sensual capacity.
