At a time when wellness and accessibility seem increasingly at odds, it can feel overwhelming to discover the basic tools, routines, and strategies to support a daily sense of being OK, never mind being well. At the same time, the self-care and technology industries have run roughshod over long-standing human traditions of caring for oneself within the context of one’s home, relationships, and wider communities; transforming the self-generosity of those traditions into multi-billion dollar ventures that stoke and prey on individual fears around failure, illness, and isolation.
Despite this, there continue to be deep seams of abundance and support that run through all of our lives, if only we’re able to notice, identify, and interact with them. The word “well” comes from the Latin root “velle,” meaning to wish strongly and related to the word “volition,” to exercise one’s will; well-being, from this perspective, reminds us that taking care of oneself involves what we always already have on hand, with a little bit of spiritual wishing and practical effort thrown in for good measure.
In this class, we will shed light on how to better engage with the mundane and hidden realities of a given day in order to better access, define, and build well-being in your life, day by day, week by week. We’ll provide new frameworks for food and meals, sleep and rest, work and activity, drawing on our combined trainings in herbalism, astrology, tarot, women’s and gender studies, and philosophy.
This is not a manifestation class; students will leave with practical, tangible information about how to build a weekly schedule that centers well-being and provides access to foundational wellness.
