~ Resilience in a bottle
Prickly Pear found its way in the Corsican desert where it receives enough sunshine and the nutrients it needs from the dry, sandy, rocky soil. This teaches resilience : making the best of  inner resources, going deep inside to retrieve gold. By unearthing creative ways to adapt to challenging circumstances, we harness strength, cultivate patience, hope and courage.

Despite the harshness of its environment, Prickly Pear bares many fruits of nourishment by absording sunlight into its core, inspiring us to look out for goodness in life, standing strong for our ethics, firmly anchored into our light. So we can share our gifts generously and amplify joyful aliveness despite the odds.
 
Cactus can’t be uprooted. And so become part of the land ancestral memory and a symbol of resistance.  The medicine of Prickly pear actively supports us as we navigate holly grief, sacred rage and harness the determination needed at times of survival.
