The Harvest Ritual Bathing Set celebrates the Harvest Moon. A time of abundance. Meals get richer, hardier and more root based. Warming spices, crisp leaves, and cozy comfort. Rituals of Harvest include time for reflection, processing, and digesting. It’s the time for slowing down, celebrating, and taking stock of our lives.

The harvest season includes the hawk migration. Hawks are daytime hunters, symbolic of taking a broad view by soaring above- yet striking their prey with precision. For your Harvest Ritual bath, consider a visualization exercise where you free yourself from the things that have you feeling stuck and gain the perspective of the hawk.

You can begin with journaling your accomplishments and lessons learned. Make note of the seeds you’ve planted for the future. You can then journal about areas where you’ve gotten sidetracked and procrastinated. Take a moment to forgive yourself, maybe even out loud as you burn this second list- releasing old habits, negative beliefs and getting yourself unstuck. Consider some activity to help bring balance to your world- whether creating a new sustainability practice, committing to a new optimistic self-care routine, or engaging with people around you in a deeper way.

The New Moon Bath Soak will help with new beginnings and trusting your intuition.
