CHILL (moon tea) & listen softly

TEA • MOON • LISTEN
Author: R.R. Shakti
Dear Soul Artist, 
Last night we made our signature CHILL moon tea, wrote poetry, and listened to some of my favorite old records.

The August Moon is about "Big Transformation." And usually a full moon will stir me into brazen creative activation. But after a weekend of road-tripping to the Garden of the Gods and reminiscing with some dear old friends, I felt a deep sort of contentment just staying home last night. With no sense of urgency, or even a plan, I seized a simple moment to bask under the lunar night-light with my daughter. She told me all about her first day of 7th grade. We tried a new recipe of Creamy Feta Beans & Greens, using leafy things from our garden. (By the way, it was delish.) We took turns choosing the music. We listened softly. And that was enough.

Sometimes "Big Transformation" is discovered inside the simple little heart-open moments of delight. Sometimes creative activation feels more like a slow ripening. I'm calling on Pachamama energy this month, to tend my energetic garden with patience and persistence. She reminds me of the seeds I've planted in Love, and to trust in their ultimate fulfillment.

What about you? 
Are you waiting for a "Big Transformation" that never seems to happen?
Are you making "Creative Activation" harder than it is?

Listen for moments of simple contentment?
Learn to patiently, persistently tend the garden of your visionary heart?
At SoulArtist.life you are invited to align with the rhythms of nature and remember your creative freedom–sometimes with a brazen, audacious expression of cosmic power.

Other times, it is more like listening to the soft crackle of vinyl while sipping moon tea.


CHILL: our signature summer blend of herbal delight includes Rocky Mountain Spearmint and cooling Peppermint straight from our Vail Colorado garden. Hibiscus provides calming properties that are found to lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation and boost your immune system, while Rosehips are high in vitamin C and provide relief from join pain and stiffness during the active sunny season. *Organic Stevia leaves provide refreshing sweetness. 

Our favorite way to brew is under the moon. 🌒 🌓 🌕

CHILL MOON TEA:

  • Steep 1/4 cup of the herb blend in a 64oz Mason Jar of filtered water.
  • Place your jar outside at about 5:00 pm, where it will be exposed to both the sunset and the moonrise.
  • Leave until morning.
  • Strain and enjoy. 
  • ​​Store in the refrigerator for a cooling beverage.
