Meet Ferris - Owner & Creator
Raised in a rural small town in Northern Illinois, my favorite memories are walking through the pastures smelling chamomile & alfalfa. I made potions from what the earth offered, donned a dandelion or forge-me-not crown & rarely wore shoes. I dreamt of being a professional singer & having a pet cow (Betsy). Life went in very different directions & by my mid 20s, I lost site of that little bare-footed kid & did not feel in alignment with my truest Self.
​
Never afraid to try new things and go against what is expected, I quit the first job I got out of collage determined to do anything else. Little did I know it would take over 10 more years to leave it for good. However, during my journey I sought out resources that would support a life within a challenging industry. I fell in love with the word equanimity, which led to studying Yoga, Ayurveda & eventually Herbalism & other earth medicine practices.
​
It was Sangha, a community of Yoga and Meditation practitioners, as well as my teachers in Ayurveda & Herbalism that provided novel experiences to connect with my truest Self. Eventually, I found that little bare-footed kid again; I found clarity that I wanted to concentrate my energy in ways that support & empower myself & others to come back to their truest Self - to reconnect to that spark inside that wishes to grow & move beyond patterns & stories of life.
​
I created this space to continually practice Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda & Herbalism; to engage with the ancestral, spiritual & energic elements; to create experiences that allow us to see our shadows & our light. Ombra Lunare is space to flow within temporary chaos & consciously find equanimity.
