SUMMARY:Moon Medicine A Ritual Retreat for Renewal Full Moon Ceremony  with Herbalist Jules Benefico
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself in our serene 5-acre spa retreat in West Sonoma County for a day of transformative self-care. Your journey begins with a morning of relaxation\, including a group cedar enzyme footbath\, your choice of a 70-minute massage or a 65-minute custom facial\, peaceful walking meditation through our bamboo forest\, and guided meditation in our renowned Japanese garden. Next\, a nourishing lunch\, crafted by a local chef with fresh\, wholesome ingredients will be offered in a magical creekside setting beneath the shade of oak and bay trees.\nIn the afternoon\, Jules will lead a Full Moon Ceremony where you’ll connect with the lunar energy through guided ritual\, meditation\, and herbal alchemy. During this time\, you’ll craft your own herbal-infused bath soak and create a custom amulet necklace—sealed with your personal intention—to carry the ceremony’s energy home with you. In addition\, we’ll work with sacred herbs\, cast a collective ritual\, and deepen into the wisdom of the moon\, exploring its ability to illuminate\, amplify\, and transform.\nUltimately\, this is a sacred invitation to pause\, reflect\, and come back to your center—held by the elements\, the earth\, and the magic of community.\nSpaces are limited. Reserve your spot to step into the enchantment. \nABOUT JULES\nJules Benefico (she/her) is a Clinical Western Herbalist\, teacher\, and ritualist who helps others connect with the Earth\, their bodies\, and the unseen through herbalism\, shadow work\, and sacred practices. Notably\, she views herbal medicine as both a healing modality and a form of activism—an accessible\, earth-based healthcare system that invites us to dig deep\, transform\, and rise in conscious action. Her approach is holistic\, rooted in magic\, inner transformation for collective wellness\, and a trauma-informed approach to healing on all levels: physical\, emotional\, mental\, and spiritual.\nFurthermore\, Jules is the founder of Boss Witch Botanicals\, where she offers mentorship programs and courses for herbalists and healers ready to grow their practice and step fully into their magic. She integrates astrology\, alchemy\, and ritual into all that she offers. In addition to her private practice\, Jules works in Communications at Traditional Medicinals\, an herbal tea company where she brings her herbal knowledge and marketing expertise to a wider audience. Follow her on Instagram @julesbenefico or tune into The Herbal Astrology Podcast\, where she explores the intersections of plant medicine\, astrology\, and personal transformation with her co-host and special guests.\nWebsite link: https://www.boss-witch.com/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/julesbenefico\nPodcast link: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-herbal-astrology-podcast/id1669077763

SUMMARY:Soul Motion®: Body Prayer every Sunday in person
DESCRIPTION:BODY PRAYER IS A FACILITATED EVENT DEVOTED TO INQUIRY INTO EMBODIED CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH MOVEMENT. \nThis class is offered every Sunday morning\, and led by Zuza Engler or another teacher. It is usually attended by a vibrant & diverse bunch of welcoming and friendly people\, some of whom have practiced Soul Motion® for years\, while some ~ never before. \nWhat to expect \nGuidance and structure are part of every week’s class as we travel across the four landscapes of Soul Motion®:\nDance Infinite (prayer space)\nDance Community (ensemble)\nDance Communion (duet)\nDance Intimate (solo) \nPractices\, structures\, and points of view are offered to facilitate the journey. Participants are invited to travel across all landscapes\, not just their favorite one: dancing by oneself\, in duet\, in ensemble with several people and eventually the whole room\, or witnessing in stillness the beauty of another’s or of everyone’s dance. \nBody Prayer offers a place to be safely uncomfortable as we experiment with ourselves and with each other in our awkward and magnificent dance at the edge of possibility. \nNo experience necessary! Everyone welcome!

SUMMARY:History Buzz Cafe # 548 Talking America the Beautiful? Part 2 - A West County-Wide Conversation!
DESCRIPTION:How much knowledge do you have about the founding and ideals of your own country – USA? \nShare Your Ideas and Concerns in an Open Conversation – after a Short History Lesson! \nSister Federal Republics: America (1776) & Switzerland (1291)\nRome (509 BCE) & Greece (508 BCE) \n“Developing in the West of Europe is that which tends toward the emancipation of the personality\, that which seeks to overcome nationality and attain to the universally-human.” Rudolf Steiner 1918 \nThree Century Prelude to America & France: 1500’s\, 1600’s\, and 1700’s\nIn a 20 to 30-minute presentation\, the host will provide the historical context preceding the founding of America\, that also provided the soil and impulse to create an independent ‘res publica’ (the public matter). A few key biographies\, significant events\, wars\, and treaties will be described for developing a ‘sense of the times’ and create the set and setting for igniting a conversation about the ideal of America and its future. What is the ideal? \nThe ability to sustain the Ideal of America is dependent upon an educated and engaged citizenry alongside principled leaders. The current crisis of citizenship and lack of economic and financial awareness\, especially critical for high school students\, can be overcome by integrating the essence of various disciples into a coherent story that gives orientation to life. Students can learn to research\, self-educate while they educate each other with assistance from ‘guides on the side’. Examining the ideas\, aspirations\, and happenings around the founding of the United States can inform as well as inspire students and the rest of us to thoughtful and appropriate actions. \nThe NEW American civics education will be interdisciplinary: including the history of money and trade\, civics\, economics\, and entrepreneurship. This\, alongside learning through biographies the ideas and deeds of the key individuals and personalities\, the remarkable men and women from all over the world\, that created a place for the ideal of a republic for the attainment of the ‘universally-human’. \nHomework:\nAmerica the Beautiful – 1893\nKatharine Lee Bates (Singer\, Ray Charles)\n“CROWN THY GOOD WITH BROTHERHOOD FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA”\nAmerica as a World Economic Experiment

SUMMARY:Soul Motion®: Body Prayer every Sunday in person
DESCRIPTION:BODY PRAYER IS A FACILITATED EVENT DEVOTED TO INQUIRY INTO EMBODIED CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH MOVEMENT. \nThis class is offered every Sunday morning\, and led by Zuza Engler or another teacher. It is usually attended by a vibrant & diverse bunch of welcoming and friendly people\, some of whom have practiced Soul Motion® for years\, while some ~ never before. \nWhat to expect \nGuidance and structure are part of every week’s class as we travel across the four landscapes of Soul Motion®:\nDance Infinite (prayer space)\nDance Community (ensemble)\nDance Communion (duet)\nDance Intimate (solo) \nPractices\, structures\, and points of view are offered to facilitate the journey. Participants are invited to travel across all landscapes\, not just their favorite one: dancing by oneself\, in duet\, in ensemble with several people and eventually the whole room\, or witnessing in stillness the beauty of another’s or of everyone’s dance. \nBody Prayer offers a place to be safely uncomfortable as we experiment with ourselves and with each other in our awkward and magnificent dance at the edge of possibility. \nNo experience necessary! Everyone welcome!
