In every cell of our body, there is a clock—a rhythmic intelligence synchronized to light, darkness, and the turning of the Earth. When our natural circadian rhythm falls out of sync with these environmental cycles, everything from our mood to our metabolism can lose its steady beat. In this immersive session, we’ll explore how to realign the body’s internal timing system through plant medicine, light exposure, and ancestral rhythm practices that restore harmony between biology and the natural world.*
Drawing on both modern science and traditional healing systems, this session introduces the emerging field of ChronoHerbalism—the art and science of using herbs in synchrony with the body’s internal clock. We’ll discuss how adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola can help stabilize the cortisol awakening response, how evening nervines such as passionflower and lemon balm support melatonin production, and how timing herbal intake can amplify their restorative effects. Participants will also explore the concept of Rewilding Our Rhythms—a return to natural cycles of light and dark through daily rituals that awaken connection, resilience, and deep rest. Through simple, evidence-based strategies—morning sunlight, mindful eating, and herbal infusions as rhythm anchors—attendees will learn how to create a lifestyle that honors both productivity and restoration.*
We’ll weave together research on hormonal balance, sleep, and mood with the sensory experience of herbs that help the body adapt to modern stress while honoring its ancient design.*
