Being in ceremony is an ancient self-care practice that strengthens our connection with community and to the Self, and it can look a variety of different ways. Ceremony can be a meditation, a prayer, a plant medicine journey, smudging, or breathwork, to name a few. Calling on plant allies to assist with the energy that may arise during these practices can be profoundly supportive.  
 
Among the most versatile of allies in the plant world, lavender can both encourage relaxation or invite invigoration. Use to nurture connection with higher self and for emotional healing.
