We just returned from our second year at the Great Lakes Foragers Gathering in Michigan and in a couple weeks our Urban Foraging intensive starts.

Some of the plants you will meet and eat include: nettles, hackberry, juniper, hawthorn, burdock, amaranth, lamb’s quarters, and many more.

Such an honor to share space with powerful healers and insightful teachers. Thank you, Karen, for trusting us and shining your light so we can all glow.

Imagine you are laying comfortably covered by a soft, light blanket with the dappled sun dancing over your face, a gentle breeze flows by as you absorb the sounds of birds, chimes, and singing bowls. You feel safe, calm, and perfectly at ease.

This is my wish for you. Take a break from overstimulation, information processing, and problem solving. Let the soft body of your being be held by the beautiful music of a sound bath.

Nessetta is here once a month on Sundays gracing us with the loving, healing, nurturing energy of relaxing sounds. Space is limited, so make sure to register in advance.

Have you gotten to know Oak/Acorn?

This week, I had the joy of interviewing Greg Monzel - Persimmon Herb School about the many benefits of Oak/Acorn and his partner shared this delicious recipe for Acorn Crackers.

For those of you who don’t already know Greg, he is a student of nature with a gift for nourishing deep connections between people and plants. He first experienced the medicinal power of plants as a teenager when he successfully treated his chronic strep-throat with raw pineapple. He has been a practicing herbal educator, medicine maker, and grower since 2008. Greg and his wife Colleen co-founded Persimmon Herb School in 2015 to hold plant-centered space and build a healing community.

At one point during this interview, I forgot I was doing a podcast. Instead I was caught up in all that Greg was sharing and simply there for the conversation.

Here’s one of my favorite takeaways: “We’re disconnected… We don’t feel connected to those same biscuits that you make from wheat flour or from the $.99 a pound bag of wheat compared to those dense acorn muffins that you can make where you know what tree you were under when you gathered those. You can smell the air again. You can see the squirrels scurrying around. You just feel connected to your land and to the place that you’re in.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

► How to process acorns into flour (and why you’d want to)

► How to make a nutrient-dense treat from acorns (be sure to download your recipe card for acorn crackers!)

► When to work with red oak vs. white oak (and why)

A seasonal gathering of like-hearted community care
All levels & experience welcome

Reiki is a powerful healing technique built on a foundation of self-care, community care and practice. Every season (quarterly) we bring together a wholehearted group interested in Reiki, energy work, and healing for our Reiki Community Sharing Circle. No matter your level of training or depth of experience, you are welcome to join if coming together in like-hearted community resonates with you. Every person will have the opportunity to learn, to practice, and to receive healing. (You do not have to be formally trained in Reiki to join for this event.)

We're not hosting camp this summer, but we are working with Earth Charter Indiana on Climate Camp. Hope to see you there!

How we care for ourselves and how we care for others, our communities, and our world are practices of liberation. In exploring and practicing Reiki, we gain tools to serve powerfully and openheartedly, to cultivate true listening and compassion, and to empower our deepest values and capacities.

Reiki energy healing is a radical and empowering modality of care with Japanese roots. It offers the support of wisdom-based foundations. It offers grounding in ethical, sustainable practice. And, it offers a pathway of wholehearted care that meets us exactly where we are - body, mind and soul.

Reiki Level I Attunement and Training is focused on physical healing and self-practice, as this is the foundation of any other care. We must serve others and the world from a place of healthy boundaries and rootedness in our own resource and capacity; so we begin by nurturing our inner environment. It will also empower you with tools to practice with loved ones and address other needs in your life.
