Our ancestors knew this and have inscribed it in our DNA ~ Our Intuition. Their homes were sacred healing places and The Art was passed down through the generations. They used local, natural resources to assist them in the Crafting of medicine, nutritious foods, body care, shelter & fuel. Celebration, decoration & ritual were also among the countless other mediums in which herbs & sacred plants were used. Our Elders harvested and replenished with reverence and thoughtfulness. We do not 'bite the hand that feeds us'! These workshops are in Honor of this Ancient Art. Let us share our positive intentions and once again, know the simple joys of life, share the wisdom of our ancestors, and a deeper understanding of the natural world. The vision is clear, the possibilities are endless. Let the celebration begin!! |
