oh gosh! of course. i would be most grateful! And thank you for your lovely award. it’s going to be hard to narrow down my 5!
The vision that just came to me was of a rollercoaster and the climbing,climbing you have been doing and now just starting to ease up over the crest on the high peak with just a glance before….Wheeeeeee!!!!! You my dear sweet mama are in for one amazing ride <3<3
and I a so happy for you and blessed by you!! Can't wait for summer
janet. you are love. i am so excited to do this work together on that beautiful island.
LATISHA!!!! xoxoxox This is so exciting and you are just purrrfect to host such a journey! I will share on my blog also, dear one!! love and hugs to you!!! xxxx
leslie you honor me with your words every time.
I’m so beyond excited for this!! Maybe I’m missing it, but is there a date, or a ball-park time when the course is? I wouldn’t be surprised if it is written right in front of me. I’m tired!
but I’m so in!! Doesn’t matter when it is, I’m just in. But I want to write about it on my website, and didn’t want to miss out on any info.
so excited to do this class under you! When you come back to Washington State, I’ll be on your front door ready for any wisdom you’re willing to offer.
you are so kind. i’m actually quite flattered you think i may have something to offer you, being such an earth devoted herbcrafter yourself. it will be fun to go adventuring together. i am grateful to be gathering a tribe of plant lovers before i even touch ground.
No you didn’t miss the date. I am aiming for the week of the Spring Equinox, but want to be sure I can finish writing it before I pick a specific date.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m so excited!
thank you Cheri. Me too.
This course sounds amazing! I have been interested in herbalism for years,and now my home-ed 12 year old is getting into herbs as well. She loves making basic tinctures etc with me,but this class sounds like it could be so much fun for us both.One thing though,I am in England,and I know it sounds dumb,but is the course going to be set around specific herbs grown in your area,or is it adaptable to what is local? Thank you for creating such a great website,I always come away inspired
Laura thank you for your kind words! And yes, it will be exactly that. My hope is to inspire folks to get a field guide, go walking in their neighborhood and meet the green people that live right near them. I’m building the class so the activities can be done around wherever whenever with whomever (green people, little people, friends). I will not be spending time talking about specific plants and uses in a general sense. I believe deeply that all the medicine we ever need is found right outside our own door. So Camp is more about meeting what’s local, learning to identify, engage good reliable resources and craft medicine from the things special to us.
I can’t believe I almost missed this. I unplug from email, facebook etc. two days a week because of my schedule and this almost slipped by me. I am very excited even though my location in the northeast may not mean I will be seeing much growing during class time but this is a subject I have been longing to learn more about. Squeeee!
Thanks so much Kim! Honored to have you at camp.
