Scorpio Season and a Full Hunter Moon is upon us, and what better time to cultivate a sphere of wellbeing informed by the stars and seeds ~  This week we are in for a cosmic journey with Kari Jansen, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Holistic Astrologer and founder of the beloved Apothecary line Poppy and Someday Drawing inspiration from the lunar cycles and planerary alignments, Kari handcrafts herbal elixirs, salves, mists, and remedies, and integrates them into healing rituals to support our systems throughout the season. We discuss Kari's recent move from California to Northern Michigan, the magic in eating off the land, how understanding astrology can help us navigate our past present and future, a medical approach to the zodiac, motherhood and what she is looking forward to in this new chapter.  Thank you Kari for your grounded, witchy wisdom!  Poppy and Someday is offering all Soundfood listeners 25% off all products from now until November 25!
