“Embarking on the journey of Call of the Lotus was one of the best things that I could give myself. I always looked forward to sitting with Lotus in every ceremony. It had slowly become a part of my life and a great anchor helping me ground and come back to myself after a long day. Adrienne was, is, and always will be the best teacher you could find to walk with you on this journey, when it comes to plants and this work. I learned a lot from observing her guiding and teaching. Even just her simply being and existing. Adrienne’s presence and Lotus’s wisdom were exactly what I needed during that time of change and transformation. 7 months with Lotus opened and softened me in a way that I didn’t expect. Lotus has become my gentle guide since then. Sitting with Lotus tea always brings me such peace and clarity, like a mother’s gentle embrace that I need especially when my life seems to have endless hardships and challenges to navigate. I’m eternally grateful for Call of the Lotus, Adrienne, our group, and this container for holding me. If you feel the call, whether it’s a strong call or a gentle whisper, this is the journey that is worth taking.” - Ara.
