Welcome to Luna's Field Guide to Vesta Grove

Vesta Grove is a quiet place built just for you. 

Luna Willow will greet you when you arrive and show you around the grove. 

There are no logins. No accounts. No data collected. What happens in Vesta Grove stays with you.

You are in control. Move at your own pace. Use what helps. Come back when you need it.

Making Vesta Grove Your Own

Before you explore the rooms, know that you can make the app feel just right for you. 

In Menu/Settings: Choose from colorful, dark, or sepia mode. 

If the text is hard to read, turn on the Verdana text toggle. 

Almost every room has a Read Aloud button.(You must turn this feature on in Menu/Settings.) It will read the words out loud for you. Or let the app speak for you if needed. 

It helps to have a conversation ahead of time if you decide to use the Read Aloud feature to speak for you.

                             The Paths in Vesta Grove

~The Clearing ~ Free

This is a great place to start every day. The Clearing has self-acceptance affirmations. These are kind, true words about who you are.

Try to visit The Clearing every day. 

Say the affirmations out loud if you can. Repetition helps. 

Every time you come back, you are reminding yourself of what is true. 

It takes time. That is okay. Keep showing up.

~Boundary Scripts ~ Free

Sometimes we know we need to set a boundary but do not know what to say. 

Boundary Scripts gives you the words. 

Read them. Say them out loud. Practice them when things are calm so they are easier to use when things are hard. 

You can also favorite them if you need to find them fast.

Visiting this room ahead of conversations and setting your favorites really helps.

~Boundary Bridge ~ Free

After you set a boundary, come here. 

Boundary Bridge is aftercare for you. It asks how you are feeling.

Setting boundaries can be hard and can bring up good or bad feelings.

This room helps you check in with yourself and settle after.

~Requesting Scripts ~ Free

Need to ask for something but not sure how? Requesting Scripts gives you words for that too. 

Whether it is asking for help, asking for more time, or asking for something you need, there are scripts here to help you find your voice.

The Mushroom Circle ~ Premium Rooms

The rooms below are premium rooms. You will see a mushroom on the button for each one.

*******************************************************

~Breath and Root

This room is your daily place to slow down and reconnect. 

It has a breathing circle exercise, a grounding visualization where you imagine roots growing from your body into the earth, a speaking to the heart exercise, a heart space exercise, and a soft pink protective bubble exercise. Plus gentle affirmations and ideas to help with sensory overload.

You do not have to do all of them. 

Move through at your own pace. Stop when you feel ready. 

Many people find Breath and Root helpful every morning to start the day calm, or any time they feel overwhelmed or need to come back to themselves.

~Untangle

Untangle is support for the hard moments. 

If you are experiencing feelings of rejection or your thoughts are spiraling, come here. 

There is a gentle check-in that walks you through what you are feeling, one step at a time. 

It offers grounding and validation to help you through. It reminds you that your feelings make sense and that you are not broken.

You may not need Untangle every day. But when you do, it will be here.

~Quest Companion

Quest Companion helps you keep track of your days. 

It has a calendar, a task list, and a shopping list.

Tap any day on the calendar to add quests. 

These can be appointments, reminders, things you need to do, or anything you want with a customized option. 

Each task shows up on your clipboard for that day. 

When you finish something, tap it and it will strike through. You can see your progress. Clear the board any time you want.

The shopping list lets you add food, cleaning supplies, and more.

There is also a custom items option so you can add anything. 

When you go shopping, open the list and tap each item off as you go.

Many people find Quest Companion helpful to open every day. It is a gentle way to know what is ahead.

~Fidget Room

The Fidget Room is for decompression. 

There are no scores to worry about. It is a match-3 game you can play as long as you want. And more games are coming soon.

Choose a theme that feels good to you: Nature, Sports, or Mystical.

You can also set an optional timer and a gentle prompt like Drink Water, Eat, Time to Go, or Move the Body. 

When the timer goes off, the game does a little sparkle and shows your prompt. Nothing stops. You just keep playing if you want.

Many people use the Fidget Room every day. After work on the bus ride home, after school, after a hard conversation. It is here whenever you need to just breathe and play.

~Sit With Me

Waiting is hard. Waiting rooms, doctor offices, dental offices. Sit With Me was made for those moments.

Choose the theme that fits where you are. Each one has a quick Steady Me grounding exercise with a gentle body check-in before and after. 

Each theme also has its own scripts called Steady Words for that setting. 

For example, in the dental office, there is a script to ask your dentist if you can raise your hand when you need a moment to pause. 

In the doctor's office, there are scripts for asking about alternative options or refusing a test and asking what else is available.

There's even a fun Did you Know? section in this room to keep your mind occupied with interesting tid-bits.

You do not have to white-knuckle it through hard waiting moments anymore. Sit With Me is in your pocket.

A note before you go

Vesta Grove was built with you in mind. Every room, every word, and every button. You deserve tools that feel right for you. I hope this place feels like yours.

Take what you need. Leave what you don't. Come back as often as you like.

With Love ~ Luna Willow
