Moon Flow & Tarot Workshop – December

August 26, 2023 by Adrienne Crombie Leave a Comment

DATE:

Friday, December 8th

6:30PM – 8PM

IN STUDIO at Wildflower Yoga Collective in Flemington

“Divination, moving meditation, introspection & a little body magic. A unique experience of the self, through the self, to the self.”

Practicing yoga and reading tarot cards are two ways that many people learn to tune in, reflect, and strengthen their connection to themselves and the world around them.

In this Yoga & Tarot workshop at Wildflower Yoga Collective, students will be guided through a yoga practice, with Jenn of Wildflower Yoga, consisting of Moon Salutations – the ancient yoga sequence designed to quiet the mind and calm the body while drawing on the feminine energy of the moon. It includes low-impact poses that activate the nervous system for rest, digestion into the new and opening of the hips.

Afterwards you will learn the themes and lessons of the Tarot cards with Adrienne from Mad Lavender Farm and Jenn. Together they will take you through a journaling activity based on intention settings for the New or Full Moon while also having your Tarot card read to further your manifestations for a grounded, deeper understanding of our minds and the Universe at large.

This workshop is designed to be engaging for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Expect a combination of journaling, basic and restorative yoga poses, and a single card spread tarot reading for yourself.

Note that Yoga & Tarot Workshops will be held in studio at Wildflower Yoga Collective, located at 50 Mine Street, Flemington, NJ. Right inside Stangl Factory next to Blue Fish Grill & Factory Fuel

Tickets are available through Wildflower Yoga Collective

Inspire U2 Think

April 14, 2022 by Adrienne Crombie Leave a Comment

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Sandy Castelleni, the remarkable woman behind “InspireU2Think“, a Hunterdon County based business that is modeled with the idea of giving back. She started her line producing non-toxic soy based candles and has expanded it to include body balms and roll-ons, distributed at shops throughout Somerset, Hunterdon and Union counties.

When we were starting Mad Lavender Farm, I was on the lookout for local artisans and vendors to partner with to make products from our lavender to start to stock the shelves of our Tiny Shop. I spied Sandy’s candles at gift shops and feed stores and I loved her product right away. They were elegant in their simplicity, small batch, homemade and the label indicated that from every sale a percentage was donated to a charitable organization. I contacted Sandy and she met with me to decide upon our product line and designed labels unique to Mad Lavender Farm. Our chosen non-profit is the Sierra Club, to support the environment and our sales have generated about $400 annually to that end.

Sandy’s intention, when she started her business, what to spread a little more light in the world. We love her vision and her product and are so proud to partner with her to spread a little more light AND lavender in the world.

Making Dreams Come True

March 10, 2022 by Adrienne Crombie Leave a Comment

Every year since we started growing lavender in 2014 we have visioned and prepared for a new installation on the farm. In 2018 our dream of erecting a tipi came true. We ordered the lodge poles and canvas for a 26 foot tipi from Nomadic Tipi Makers in Oregon. We leveled the ground and built a wood platform to receive it, sealed the 30 foot lodge poles with 3 coats of turpentine and linseed oil, viewed the instructional video countless times and organized a tipi raising party to raise it and wrap it. Voilá, we had a magnificent tipi. It was a long overdue gift to my inner child who always wondered what it would be like to be inside this wonderful cone shaped space that was home to the original people.

This month, March 2022, we dismantled our beloved tipi. The combination of wind, rain and mold has taken it’s toll and it is time to turn a new page. Our hearts are sore and we know so many of you grieve with us. We’d like to share with you some precious memories and photos that capture those moments.. Over the years our tipi has sheltered our goat yoga parties, picnics and workshops from summer rain. Kirt & Laura of Creative Frequencies (now permanently based in Hawaii) blessed us with otherworldly sound healing sessions in the tipi. Kelly Kinney gifted us with a Women’s New Moon Circle that was just magical.

Some folks go on vacation. We invested in a magical experience right here on our farm.

Next chapter in our Mad Lavender odyssey is our vision for a Green Witches Garden that will be planted in the 26 foot circle footprint that was our tipi, replete with medicinal herbs, a pond and a waterfall.

And so, the journey continues.

More to come!

Mad Lavender Goat Yoga Team

March 7, 2022 by Adrienne Crombie Leave a Comment

The air is warming a bit, Spring is on the way and pretty soon we’ll be enjoying Goat Yoga again on Mad Lavender Farm. I’d like to introduce you to our incredible team of goat yoga teachers; Lea Ostner, Jenn Stas, Ava Marino and Shannon Keelyn. Goat yoga teachers are a very special breed. They must have a big call to adventure, an unflappable inner calm, a love of goats (naturally) and a sense of mischief to match. Folks of all ages and levels of yoga experience attend our sessions and so our teachers need to be responsive to all their needs. It also takes a big dose of creativity to run a goat yoga session because goats are unpredictable and they don’t always follow the “lesson plan.” In addition to all that, Ava, Shannon and Lea bring their talents in playing sound bowls to produce our Sound Bath Goat Yoga sessions. On the continuum of super chill to crazy fun, Sound Bath Goat Yoga brings it all together. Jenn Stas is the G.O.A.T. at Partner Goat Yoga, possibly the best date you’ll have this summer.

We are so lucky to have these amazing, talented and warm hearted women on our team. It makes all the difference when you are working with people who truly love what they do. Big, big shout out to you all. We are so looking forward to making it happen with you all again in 2022!

Sound Bath Goat Yoga sessions start again in May. If you would like to book a private goat yoga event, please check our website for available dates.
