Just wanted to pop on here and send a huge thank you to all the lovely women who came out for our first ever seed-to-bottle medicine making gathering! Weaving together plant lore, wildcrafting 101, plant identification, medicine making, and life-changing daily practices into two hours was a daunting task but we did it and it was SO fun! . Many folks have been reaching out for more opportunities to come out to the farm and partake in nature communion, and I am happy to announce that I am open to hosting one more nettle gathering for 10 students MAX in the next few weeks (most likely January 31st from 1pm-3pm). This will likely be the LAST opportunity to gather nettle for the season, so if you were bummed you missed the first gathering, make sure to join us for round two! . I'll be posting more details as we get closer to the 31st, and in the meantime with all this rain the nettles will be growing big and strong! . xx
Nettle gathering family!! Wowza the response has been craaaazy! . So here's the deal. Like I mentioned in instastories yesterday, I am SUPER CONSERVATIVE when it comes to wildcrafting plants. The only reason I offered folks to come gather nettle with me is because we have an abundance of it AND I believe having access to fresh, organic, wild plants is something we all NEED. However, abundance does not equal abundance for the taking. When wildcrafting (amongst my other 900 rules) I only take 10 percent OR LESS of what is available from healthy, thriving plant life AFTER I've given it my own offerings. . So, I can only have a strict maximum of 10 people out on the farm to collect enough nettles to make medicine with me. . To be as fair as possible, spots will be on a first come first serve basis. I will post a link to reserve a spot tomorrow morning (Friday) in my bio. What I'm thinking of doing (because I love teaching and think this is one of the most important parts of wildcrafting and medicine making)... . -A short lesson of the lore of Nettles, its personality, its benefits/uses, and good resources to deepen your understanding of this plant by some of my favorite writers -What nettles likes and how to give back! -Wildcrafting and plant harvesting 101 -How to clean and process the nettles that we gather to be prepped for superb medicine making -Making medicine with nettles (I'm thinking we should make a delicious nettle vinegar--great taken straight, used on salads, etc etc etc and creates a magical liquid of minerals and vitamins so damn well). . If you want to join us, I HIGHLY recommend bringing a pair of leather gloves/workgloves and scissors so that your fingers are not covered in therapeutic but painful blisters. I will provide the vinegar and mason jars for medicine making! . We will gather from 1-3pm on Monday, 01.14.19. Once your spot is reserved I will email details on how to get to the farm, what to bring, + more important info! . Please post questions 👇🏼
Well, a short holiday break from insta once again turned into a nearly month long absence, and I've got to say, it's been a pretty dark trip. . Stepping into 2019, I wasn't feelin it at all. 🙅🏼‍♀️ I had no desire for new year's intentions, and all of the "new year new me" cleanses and detoxes and shaming of the shadow made me feel triggered and pissed off. I had to shut it all out and turn inward (Winter, y'all!) and work with the prickliness 🌵that deep down I knew was just unintegrated stress (more on that later). . Feeling crappy, I turned to the plants 🌱(duh). Around the time I started feeling wonky, dwarf nettle (twin to stinging nettle only shorter) started popping up all over the farm. Fields of nettle grew longer and wider, and at the time of writing this I would estimate we've got a little under 1/8 acre of wild nettles growing and more are popping up each day! . Long story short, I listened to the call and started incorporating nettles into my life every single day. I talked to them, watered them, left offerings for them, ate them, drank them, and made medicine with them. I've worked with nettles (store bought + dried) for many years, and thought if nothing else I would just feel deeply nourished... . But friends, let me tell you, it's only been a few days and I kid you not, my skin is emitting a sun-kissed glow and my nails are growing at hyper speed, but best of all, THE DOWNLOADS + CREATIVE STREAMS + REALIZATIONS + VIBES HAVE BEEN BANANAS ✨⚡️🌪🔥🌈(see pictured 🥰). . These prickly superfood powerhouses were exactly what I needed, and like most things, freshly picked wild plants like this have a vitality + presence 🌈 unlike anything you can buy in a baggy or capsule. The difference is immeasurable. . SO, San Diego locals✨--who wants to come out to the farm and pick stinging nettles with me and make some kick ass medicine? I'm thinking this coming Monday (01.14). Whadda think?🌱🌱🌱
🚨✨Enrollment for the Winter session is now open for those on the waitlist. Please check your email for details! . I'll be spending my morning leading a plant walk on the land of The Land + Spirit Project purposefully avoiding the notifications and email alerts that both excite me and fry my nervous system. I'm so excited for our lil group this morning! I've got a few surprises for them 🤗 . PS--I know I will now get multiple DMs from people saying they didn't know there was a waitlist and they want to enroll. Not to worry! Enrollment opens for everyone on December 17th, and I'll be providing more details and reminders for ya come Monday morning. #thelandandspiritproject
As I spend these last few weeks of 2018 in a dizzy of project deadlines, patient care, and the demands of home life, I'm trying really hard to keep my eye on what comes after these few weeks of hustle. Winter is here, and alongside my fellow LASP members, we'll be falling into the gentle tranquility of the season... . The season of natural stillness. The turn of the day finally slows. I hold my breath when I first open the door to go fetch eggs in the morning in the morning chill. I tuck my son into my jacket, keeping us both a little bit warmer as we cross the soggy footbridge. . The natural world curls into a long slumber, not to be disturbed until the ground thaws. I too, will follow this lullaby. . Within our own bodies, the organs that keep us alive slow down too. They rest. I rest. too. . Whether we like it or not, we are a part of the changing seasons. Both inside, and out. I can't wait to fully surrender to Winter and all it has to offer.
