STROB Apothecary

Dear STRŌB Community,

We're going to let you in on something, because we're not sure everyone realizes how much lives inside the Brew Crew.

Most of you just know it as "that $7 membership thing." And that's fair. It's hard to share all that we are and do at the register and email boxes are overstuffed. But here's what actually happens in there, in a single month, for the price of a fancy latte.

Every week, there's a new tarot lesson, live, real teaching with Richard, our tarot guru, not just a card pull, building your own ability to read. Every week, we gather live for the Sunday Reset, a virtual meetup to land, breathe, and set the tone for the week together. Every full moon and new moon we gather live to learn astrology with Brittany, our counseling astrologer.

Every month, two study groups meet live: Seeker's Circle exploring metaphysical topics, from chakras to energy shielding to Human Design. And Tea Talk where Olivia or Sean go deep on a single plant or tradition (this month was Sean on Hawthorn).Every month we also go deep in on an herbal formulation, explaining the why behind each herb choice. And then there's the 10% off coupon, members-only, good all month long, every month, on everything in the shop or online.

Anytime you want it, you have the whole library: over 50 educational blog posts and more than 30 hours of recorded classes on crystals, aromatherapy, medicine-making, and community herbalism. It grows every single month. It's a pretty sweet flex if you can say you've finished absorbing all our content.

Now read that back and do the math. Weekly tarot teaching. A weekly live gathering. Two monthly study groups. Bi-weekly astrology learning. Fifty-plus blogs. Thirty-plus hours of class recordings. A standing 10% discount. All of it, every month, for $7.

We'll be honest: it's almost absurd. The coupon alone can pay for the membership the first time you use it.

We built it this way on purpose. The Brew Crew is how STRŌB exists when you can't be standing at our counter, hours away, working when we're open, or just needing the teaching at 11pm on a Tuesday. It's where we get to teach properly, where the questions get real answers in a space where we are comfortable to give them, and where this community keeps learning together long after the shop lights go off.

And right now, you don't even have to take our word for it. We've had a free 7-day trial open since spring, and it closes June 21st. So if you've been curious, this is the moment, step inside, look around the whole library, sit in on a gathering, and see for yourself before the trial goes away.

Start your free 7-day trial before June 21st --> (https://www.skool.com/strob-education-hub-1286)

It's been right here the whole time. Come see what you've been walking past.

Dear STRŌB Community,

There's plenty of stories and folk wisdom about Hawthorn, but a favorite one is its lore as a boundary hedge. For centuries it was planted to mark the border between what was protected and what was wild. In folk magic it was believed it guarded thresholds It was believed that if you stand at a hawthorn hedge, you stand at a doorway.

There's all kinds of thresholds and one threshold that Hawthorn guards remarkably well is your heart.

Hawthorn is the great heart herb. Herbalists have reached for it for generations to support the physical heart. It is an herb that has had scores of studies done on its heart muscle effectiveness, but hawthorn's reputation runs deeper than the physical. It's the plant we turn to for the other kind of heartache too: for grief and loss, for the heart that feels too open, and even for the heart that's closed up tight to keep from breaking again. Hawthorn meets both. It softens what's guarded and steadies what's raw, in emotional and physical and soul ways.

For a thorny little hedge plant, it holds an enormous amount of medicine.

This Wednesday, Sean is doing what Sean does best, going deep. In this month's Tea Talk in the Brew Crew, he's diving into everything hawthorn: the parts, the uses, the medicine for body and spirit, the lore, the practical how-to. If you've ever sat across from Sean and just let him teach, you know it's one of the real pleasures of being part of this community. This Wednesday we have a seat waiting for you.

The Tea Talk is live and exclusive to the Brew Crew. $7/month gets you in, plus everything else we make in there, and a 10% off coupon you can use every month.

Join the Brew Crew for Wednesday's Hawthorn Tea Talk (https://www.skool.com/strob-education-hub-1286)

And if hawthorn is calling to you, we have it on the herb wall. Come sit with it. We'll help you find the form that fits, whether that's the heart you can feel beating or the one that's been a little heavy lately.

Take care of your heart this week, in every sense, please!
