“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence.
It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

Care to join me?
We'll begin on the Snow Moon, Jan 21st, the first New Moon of the Year
about the program:
🫀It is an invitation to rest and re-set, to gather and grow together
🫀Each day for 30 days you will receive an email with an attached PDF, featuring a prompt, a practice, a sample ritual, a quote/affirmation, and a seasonal recipe or two*. Some practices will be cumulative (and others a one time experience). Some days you will find the suggested action easy and some days perhaps a little more challenging, some days the rituals will speak right to you and other days you may want pass and to create your own.
* I try to keep them simple with items which most people have in their homes or can be found at the local grocery store, if I suggest a more specialized herb or ingredient I will offer more common alternatives also. I want to introduce nourishing herbal practices to you but also make it immediately and transformative
🫀You will be guided to create your own personal self care toolkit and manual.
🫀We will have a private (optional) Facebook page to document your progress and share challenges with other, I will be popping in daily to cheer you all along and offer inspiration and support.
This email/PDF based course gives you tools you can return to time and time again. Often all we need that one little action to shift our mindset/ the energy and to be able to take those small steps needed to start to feel more like ourselves. Something I have learnt during my 25 years in the Holistic Health Care field is that by creating reliable self-care habits we can be more present, make clearer decision, and begin to unlock the fullness of life.
Be prepared to start feeling very full :-)! The best road to self care is to establish simple daily practices which remind you of the gifts, benefits, blessings, you enjoy and the goodness that prevails in your life. Step by step we can reset our past programming and begin to treat ourselves with love.

about your guide:
I, Tony(a) Lemos have been a community herbalist for close to 30 years and have been the Director of Blazing Star Herbal School for 21 years guiding and mentoring herbal apprentices on their journeys with plant medicine. I am passionate about sharing my love of plants, people and the planet and helping people experience the feeling of connection which happens when communities are formed.
I am also passionate about Self Care, the intersection of herbalism and lifestyle, Sensory Plant Medicine, Spiritual Health with Plants and the Plant/Person relationship. I also offer holistic herbal lifestyle consultations and individualized healing sessions.
Beyond the Blazing Star Herbal School I am a published author and have lectured at multiple venues including the Northeast Women’s Herbal Conference, the Green Nations Gathering, the Flower Essence Conference, The Northeast Aromatherapy Conference, NOFA MASS, United Plant Savers and the CT Institute of Herbal Studies (1996-2006) and a multitude of local healing centers and yoga studios.
More than anything I love bringing people together who share interest in what it means to be in a healthy relationship with all sentient beings.
