We’re Sierra and Molly.

We source inspiration from the rhythms and elements of nature, and we are excited to share our insights with you.

Sierra Brashear, Co-founder

Sierra Brashear, MA is a NAMA Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, wellness educator, and social entrepreneur. She believes that by tuning in to ancient earth-based wisdom traditions, we will discover contemporary ways to heal ourselves, our families and our planet. She is deeply committed to integrating social and environmental justice into the modern wellness movement.

Holding a Masters degree in Environmental Peace and Security, and having formally studied Ayurveda at Alandi Gurukula for over 2,000 hours, Sierra truly understands the ways in which we are deeply intertwined with the health and wellbeing of the planet at both the individual and the collective levels. Sierra is also a DONA-trained doula, folk herbalist and author.

Inspired by the rhythms and elements of nature, Sierra weaves systems thinking and her knowledge of Ayurveda into all of her work. She loves to support purpose-oriented people to deepen their capacity to be of service in business and activism, as well as to support development of meaningful self care ritual products, and to create inspiring content featuring accessible Ayurveda.

Molly McConnell, Co-founder

Molly is a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and long-time yoga teacher/student committed to living intentionally and supporting others in their process to do the same. She strives to uplift themes of collective wellness and radical self-love in all that she does.

Molly believes that a more compassionate world is possible, and that we have an opportunity to co-create alternative solutions together. But first, we must know ourselves — we must re-cultivate the ability to listen to our bodies, to understand our needs, and to believe that we are worthy of our own love. In this process, radical self care gives rise to collective wellness.

With a bachelor’s degree in Women & Gender Studies and more than 2,000 hours of Ayurvedic study and clinical experience at Alandi Gurukula, Molly is a lover of both learning and unlearning. She is humbled to share this ancient wisdom as it intersects with more contemporary movements of feminism, liberation and justice. Through her own practice of radical self care, she strives to remain curious and patient — creating more space for inspiration, connection, and deep focus.

Molly found Ayurveda as a means to finding herself while journeying through India. It was the discovery of this all-encompassing philosophy that enabled her to connect more deeply with herself and with others — to honor and appreciate the fine line between human resilience and fragility. She is dedicated to holding space for the spectrum of what it means to be human.

Molly currently resides in Sacramento, California, where she teaches workshops and works with clients one-on-one.

This virtual workshop is intended to support you to counter the stress-response that many of us are experiencing. In it, Molly will share radical self care practices to replenish your body and mind.

When we are overcome by stress, we feel ungrounded — unable to think clearly and to act thoughtfully. Chronic, depleting stress holds us back from showing up, doing the work, and making a difference. Take care of yourself, so you can keep showing up for the cause. True and lasting change takes time — we need you to stay inspired, energized and connected.
