Make & Mary

Happy Indigenous Day. To all the Aunties, the radicals, the artists, the makers, the farmers, the wisdom keepers, the beautiful beings. And to all the Native Americans without tribes to call their own, there are many of us.

Thank you for helping us remember, for the Earth teachings, for the songs, for the prayers, for the honoring of Turtle Island and the commitment to 7 generations ahead. Aho 🙏🏽

We are in full production mode over here. I was making the other day and thought, “this is why I’ll never retire, I love the plants and the making too much!” How could I not make?

There’s so much that goes into merging two businesses, new packaging, new site, the backend business stuff. I’m almost there! Thank gawd I’m surrounded by the energy of the plants to keep me balanced 🌱

I’ve bottled up a lot of new sacred waters I made over the summer. We have a few new tinctures and a new salve coming. Plus so much more, can’t wait to share!

Cacao is my homegirl 🤎 I’m looking forward to hosting a cacao offering and group limpia this fall. Dates coming soon…

PS, have you tried our cacao we have in house? Chocolhaa is from Chiapas, Mexico and its dreamy good.

We are excited to welcome our friend, River Medicine to Casa de Ritual for a sound healing circle.

A Candle & Harvest Moon Ritual✨🌕️⁠✨
⁠
Cleanse your space, darken the room and spark the candle flame. Keep your eyes focused on the flame throughout this meditation. Think good thoughts of abundance & release. Breathe in the fullness of all that brings you joy, calm, and peace. Imagine the light of the moon entering your body, cleansing and healing. Breathe out and see its light flowing through you, cascading down and all around you. Sit in the silence of these thoughts, sit in the fullness of all that you are…

I was in Mexico for one of my visits a few years back and the name for our shop, Casa de Ritual came to me. I was thinking about all of the roads I have traveled, the paths I’ve taken and how I could keep everything housed together, and so here we are. As I move to merge, and fold Make & Mary into this latest version of myself, I’m happy to land here… most likely my last grand endeavor. I say that and think, “yeah ok” I can’t imagine ever really retiring. I love the service work I do too much… it is hard to start new things, but it’s hard to end them too.

Well hello fall. I’m ready for the hug.

WORKSHOP: Fire C***r Making with Yvonne 9/27 from 5-7:30pm

Come join us for this community gathering. We’ll circle round, chop, and prepare our vessels to create a community fire-c***r you can take home. You’ll learn a little, laugh a bit, and maybe cry (from the onions :) We’ll sing our good intentions into the circle and into this immune boosting elixir.

Fire c***r is a staple for many herbalists worldwide. Made when the weather starts to get chilly, this herb-infused apple c***r vinegar extract is meant to boost immune support so your body is ready for the cold winter months ahead.⁠

There are a few spots left, if you miss out we will be hosting some birth doulas in the casa too on the 29th- check Casa de Ritual 🧿 or Tender Fern Doula + Kitchen | PDX Postpartum Doula for more info
