Dear friends, Like the time it takes me to eat a late-summer plum, this newsletter is short and sweet. I hope you’ll read through it as I have important news to share. Thank you to everyone who purchased a 2020 Cosmic Checkup and supported my fundraiser for the 40 Acres and a Mule Project. By following the project, I’ve learned so much about the history of Black farming. I recommend giving them a follow, especially if you’re in Wisconsin! My clinical practice is on pause until early 2021. I’m in the process of reimagining the way I work with clients, and dreaming into being new, more nourishing, more generous offerings. Until then, I’m taking some space from herbal consulting. That said, please reach out if you really need support. I may be able to take clients on a case-by-case basis (starting in November), or else refer you to someone else. Please note that I’m still accepting astrology clients (books are open for October and November), and current herbal clients are able to book follow-ups through the fall. My online shop will be closed from September 1st through October 15th. It’s currently pretty sparse as I wait for this year’s harvest to ripen into medicine. I have only one Elixir Set remaining, one bottle of Drifting, and one Sleep Bundle, as well as some teas and individual tinctures. Please help me make way for this year’s medicine: use the checkout code CLEARING for 20% off your order (through September 1st). And finally, the biggest news of all…I’m moving home to Wisconsin! More specifically, I’ll be living just outside of Madison in the Driftless Region, and the traditional territories of the Ho-Chunk, Kiikapoi, Sauk and Meswaki, Miami, and Očeti Šakówiŋ peoples. This decision has been in the works for over five years and given the pandemic, I didn’t really think it would happen—at least not yet. And then I woke up on my 34th birthday and something had shifted, and the pieces began to fall into place. Moving home is a really big change for this western lady! I’m feeling everything, all at once. Mostly good, a little overwhelmed, and undeniably grateful. There is so much more to say but I’d rather say it once I’m there. I should be somewhat settled by October and I look forward to reconnecting with you all then. Dearest Portland friends, I’m so very sorry to say goodbye, and that the pandemic makes a proper one difficult. These last three years have brought an abundance of beautiful and loving friendships into my life—I’m so grateful to know you, and to have had the opportunity to live, grow, and learn alongside you in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I will most definitely be back for many visits, and you are always welcome in the Midwest :) And to the Wisconsinites here, I can’t wait to be close to you once again—connecting over plants and trees, swatting mosquitos together, re-learning winter, and voting like the election depends on us! These are turbulent, painful times and it feels right to grow through them with you. I look forward to being home, rooted and engaged in healing work. Thank you all so much for being here and for taking the time to read this. If you feel called to make packing up a little easier for me, don’t forget to use the code CLEARING for 20% off any order in the my online shop. Thanks again, and sending lots of love! Goldenrod and golden hour, Clare
