  • May 28 From Plants to Purpose: How Nature Teaches You to Align with Your True Nature Join self?alignment guide and bioregional herbalist Ina Claggette for a conversation on aligning your personal energy with the natural rhythms of the season. As spring invites activation, initiation, and forward movement, many people feel the pressure to take action—yet still feel out of sync. Ina explores how true alignment begins with understanding your unique design and the way you are meant to move, decide, and grow. Blending Human Design with natural, plant?based practices, she shares how seasonal living and even everyday “weeds” can support your energy, helping you feel more grounded, clear, and aligned as you step into your next level of growth.
