For September we'll be talking with Ash Eichner Pendell, the founder of Moon Mama, LLC. 

Hello! My name is Ash Eichner Pendell and I am the founder of Moon Mama LLC. I am a certified practitioner in Art, Horticultural and Meditation therapies. I am a Mama, artist, writer, and avid gardener. I am also an Intuitive Tarot Reader.  Moon Mama LLC offers artful workshops called Creative Meditations. In these workshops we begin with a guided meditation to get our mind, body and Spirit in a place to be calm and connected. We then dive into our creativity. I offer nature hikes, environmental educational events, and therapeutic horticulture workshops to honor and strengthen our connection to the natural world. Protecting and preserving our environment is a passion of mine. I feel a little education can empower people to help protect our Earth. I want humans to fall back in love with nature. Art and being emerged in our natural world, whether it be gardening or just out on a hike, has always been medicine for my soul. As I have moved through my own journey of growing as a human, becoming a Mama, anxiety, and depression I found the benefits of nourishing my creativity and connecting with nature to be so healing. I want to share that with others.

As an artist that loves many different mediums I find myself returning to watercolors often to soothe my nervous system. Watching the pigments dance in the water droplets is magical. I am also a miniature artist. I make everything fit for a fairy. I love to photograph the tiny details and Mother Nature's every changing palette of colors as the wheel of seasons turn. Nature inspires all of my work. I am also a little obsessed with making pom-pom projects. There is something so meditative about wrapping the yarn and all the crispy snipping. Art has always been my way of making sense of this world. 

Moon Mama LLC is all about modern, inclusive spiritual wellness. That means that I believe that everyone should have safe and affordable access to the healing benefits of art and nature. I hope to provide that space for us all. 🌿🌙🍄🏳️‍🌈💗 Come relax and take a deep breath with me.

You can find me on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok at Moon Mama LLC. Check out my website for events and Moon cycle updates at https://www.moonmamacreative.com/  .

We look forward to hearing all about Moon Mama's  art, spiritual wellness, and even participating in the demonstration on September 22nd at 6:30pm! Can't wait to see y'all there!
