The Essence & the Pendulum with Arika Schroeder

The Essence & the Pendulum

with Arika Schroeder

Friday, September 20

6:15 - 7:45pm

Cost: $20 General/$15 Students

The Essence & The Pendulum is back again this month! Hosted by our staff Herbalist Arika Schroeder.

If you are curious about flower essences and how they can be helpful in our daily lives this is a great beginner class to understand the basic energetics of some of the essences.

This workshop will explore the parallels between how flower essences influence the energy field and emotional states, and how the pendulum detects subtle shifts in energy.

Each participant will learn how to use the pendulum to identify the most harmonizing flower essence blend for their unique energy needs and will create a personalized mother bottle for future use.

Arika began walking the plant path in 2014 with Jane Bothwell's herbal programs at Dandelion Herbal Center and has furthered her studies through many classes and journeys ever since.  She strives to focus on living an actualized and well life, loves to serve her community, friends and family and is a beloved part of the Moonrise team!

 

 

 
 

Deprogramming People Pleasing with Krissy Loveman

Deprogramming People-Pleasing: Unlock the Potential of Your Unconscious Mind to Reclaim Your Power & Live Life on Your Terms

with Krissy Loveman

Monday, October 21

6:15 - 7:30pm

Cost: $15

People-pleasing is not a personal failure or defect—it’s a set of coping strategies rooted in how your nervous system has been shaped by the past, often manifesting as:

  • An obligation to keep others happy
  • Hyper sensitivity to criticism and rejection
  • Anxiety and guilt over disappointing or upsetting people
  • A tendency to avoid conflict and confrontation
  • A habit of conflating your feelings with others’ feelings
  • A sense of purposelessness or deficiency when you don’t feel needed by others
  • Overthinking and overanalyzing your behavior around others
  • Resentment, frustration, and anger when your generosity is not returned

In my workshop “Deprogramming People-Pleasing,” you’ll learn why it feels so difficult to stand up for yourself with willpower alone, and I’ll explain how to rewire unconscious patterns in your nervous system to flip the script and take back your power.

If you’re ready to set boundaries like a badass, feel confident and assertive, and reclaim your time and energy, come to my workshop so we can get crystal clear on what to do. 

Bring a mug/cup for tea!

Conquering Anxiety with Krissy Loveman

Conquering Anxiety: Reset Your Nervous System

with Krissy Loveman

Monday, November 4

6:15 - 7:30pm

Cost: $15

You might be suffering from people-pleasing if you carry a burden of responsibility to keep other people happy at the expense of your health and happiness.

If you struggle with anxiety or managing stress, this workshop is for you.

We all wanna live our lives without being constantly ridden with self-doubt and fears of worst-case scenarios.

Whether it’s waking up to a crushing schedule, an impossible expectation to keep your boss happy, or the pile of unfinished tax forms crowding out your desk—you deserve to be IN CONTROL of how you feel up against everyday stressors and adversities. 

As someone who’s struggled with episodes of anxiety, I know how vitally important it is to stop spiraling thoughts and a racing heart so you can focus and feel secure.

And let’s face it—we have new reasons to be stressed almost every day. Knowing how to regulate your own emotions is more important than ever.

Whether anxiety is pushing you into overdrive or preventing you from facing your fears, your nervous system is running the show. It’s time to reset these automated patterns and take control of how you feel.

That’s why I created my Conquering Anxiety Workshop to teach you how to harness the power of your nervous system to knock down anxiety, relax your body, and build confidence.

Imagine having a ready-to-go toolkit that’ll not only bring you rapid relief, but create lasting change in your nervous system patterns. 

  Bring a mug/cup for tea.
