Lasting nourishment is a wellspring
fed by many estuaries.
​​
​
Lasting nourishment blooms born when a stable foundation is formed that both feeds your physiology with whole foods, minerals, circadian rhythms, AND weaves in daily rituals, delicious pleasure, meaning making, connection to the land around you, and the impact of being truly, deeply seen.
Animal body is an intimate, small group course that deepns in layer by layer.
Rooted in the belief that the human body is a mirror of the Earth body, we will turn towards deep, slow, and consistent rhythms that help you find ease and stability in your own nourishment (because that's where lasting change starts.) This course is for those who know in their bones that their own wellbeing is inextrciably woven to the wellbeing of the collective. When we are well nourished, we have more life force to pour into our families, art, community, work, & delicious endeavors of being alive. Committing to your nourishment is not just for you - it's for all the loved ones you are connected to and woven from.
​
Animal body is born from a respect for ancestral wisdom and an honest gaze upon the beautiful and sometimes uncertain times we are living in. I call this approach ancestral living in modern times and it's a theme that brings flexibility and context to the material we'll discuss. I've poured finger-licking recipes, foundational frameworks, & experience into months of classes, hands- on work, deep council & yes, art.
​
For Beauty is one of the oldest forms of nourishment.
​
Come learn about the layers of wellness for a woman, explore food & minerals, be held, & deepen your understanding of what both vitality and nourishment mean.

The Vital Role of Beauty, Art, & Ritual
"Animal Body was a deep container for self healing and Kearsley has taught me how to move into my elder self with real deep nourishment. She has taught me specific ways to integrate new habits, and does it in a way that makes these changes a devotion and ritual. It's not just a class. It's therapy.
Even on a computer, you feel seen & heard. She remembers everyones stories & details - compassion and heart are at the core of her work."

Is a place to be held in your individual and relational webs of wellbeing. This is not a big impersonal online course where you sit back and are barely noticed. This container is cozy- it's small and intimate so that your story can be heard, you can receive personalized support, & build connective, mutual relationships with each other as much as you're comfortable. My approach to curating online spaces is centered around making them feel less like an academic study and more like a circle where you end up learning things and feeling deeply seen. A small container allows for this kind of connection.
Here, I welcome you to arrive imperfectly. Please, for the love of humanity, be messy and raw and beautifully you. We get into topics that I feel like are missing in the common (& problematic) "Health & Wellness" spaces, some of which include:
​​
-
Minerals & their effects on emotions, energy levels, & creative capacity
-
Gaining the skills to make choices that are right for YOUR body right NOW
-
The role of our individual health in collective liberation
-
Why eating shilajit, nettles, & liver supplements aren't always helpful
-
Thyroid health expanded
-
Weaving non-human kin into our healing
-
The struggle to feed ourselves delicious, simple, & pleasurable meals
-
Addressing digestive, hormonal, or adrenal/thyroid challenges
-
The spiritual/soul level of wellness that's missing from capitalism
​
​​
When we have what we need- at our most basic levels- we can write new stories for both ourselves and the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. This container is slow- like honey dripping off a hand-carved spoon- and is meant to hold you at the gentle, natural pace of change. What we feed ourselves & the quality of our wellbeing matters. It doesn't have to be perfect, but that's what makes it human.​
​
This course is a deep exploration full of perspectives, approaches, techniques, skills, & hands-on experiences that will create a wellspring of wellness for you to draw from.
​
This is sacred work.

Meet Kearsley Tate
Hello
I'm Kearsley and I am a private chef, postpartum + HTMA practitioner, author and educator. Years ago I was diagnosed with an endocrine disorder that led me down a shape-shifting path of learning how to radically care for myself. Guided by many great mentors and a reverential relationship with the Earth, I forged a way of living rooted in seasonal, local, & creative living. I've known what deep exhaustion feels like and I also know the slow, steady path of courting vitality back. It is now my greatest pleasure to pour that lived experienced into the hearts and homes of other women, mothers, and those who care for them. My approach to wellness is multi-faceted because I know that true wellness is an estuary fed by many rivers. Beauty is at the heart of it all.
I call a cozy cabin home in a small valley at the base of the Black Mountains my home. It is a humble place filled with extraordinary people & hemlocks that give me reason to believe in hope.
