Hey babes,
We just wanted to reach out with an update and a love note.
Seagrape has shut its flagship store down in an effort to keep everyone safe until we are told it is safe to re-open. We've added most things to the online shop for your convenience and wellbeing, including new Tarot decks,
jewelry, and books, which is very exciting! If there is something you don't see on there feel free to reach out.
All of our staff are still employed with limited, no-contact hours and we have YOU to thank for it. The generosity of this community never ceases to amaze me! Your online orders, social media shares, and reviews have helped us stay afloat, continuing to produce much needed self-care tools, keeping the Seagrape team going, and even re-ordering goods from our favorite makers, which in turn helps them keep their doors open. We do not take
this generosity for granted, and are so thankful for you!
Here are some things we are doing to keep in touch:
- taking our events digital so folks near and far can participate
- hosting a community tea + chat call via zoom (TODAY at noon PST, it's free, you should join! Password: 731247) Gather your favorite poem to share, tell us what you've been
working on, share how you're doing-- we're here for each other!
- writing you love letters on our blog
Thank you for being here, and please let us know if you need anything. Also, we know you're getting a TON of emails in your inbox and if you'd like to stop receiving ours please unsubscribe below!
Warmly,
Maria

Ways to cultivate pleasure while stuck at home:
First, thank you for staying at home, going on walks 6ft apart and being mindful of your impact during this bizarre time. Second, good job self-caring! We know if may not feel like you are but you're sleeping, eating, calling your friends, dancing around in your underwear, brushing your teeth, meditating, taking zoom yoga, and whatever else you're getting to these days- it's huge!
Here are some ways to prioritize pleasure right now:
- Clean your kitchen then prepare yourself the fanciest meal you can! find the food you've "been saving" and make a beautiful meal just for you.
- Touch your body.
- Go for a walk and gather some sweet flowers to tuck into your bath or on your Altar. Don't forget to smell things on your walk!
- Call an Elder in your life, ask them for their favorite recipe and the story behind it, then if you like that sort of thing re-create it.
- Put on your fanciest outfit, open all the blinds and windows and take some sexy selfies. Bonus if your pets are in the photos.
- Research your Ancestral traditions, pick one to work with for the next week.
- Try a new breathing technique to generate energy and bring vitality back to your amazing body.
- Make a fort in your living room filling it with your favorite pillows, blankets, sheepskins, books, art supplies, Tarot decks, snacks and more! Tuck your computer / iPad in and watch movies all day! Study the Tarot! Enjoy the feeling of being held.
This is most effective when you also encourage other people in your life to prioritize pleasure, talk about the things you're doing, how they make you feel, and generally remind yourself and your communities that we deserve to feel good (and it will probably get through this!)

Have you read our new blog yet?!
The magic in transformation is all around us - when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, when the bud blooms into a rose. Transformation can be soft and sweet - water from a hot bath into steam, abrupt and harsh - lightning on sand into glass, and it can come from death and decay - mushrooms growing from a rotting log. The major arcana cards, temperance, the tower, and death all are archetypes of these different energies of transformation. Life finds a way to
grow and evolve no matter what situation, and indeed we need death for new life.
