Weeds, weeds, wonderful weeds! Do you look at ‘nature’ and see one big wall of green? Plants are as individual and unique as each person.

Tips for sustainable harvesting will be offered. We will walk, rain or shine, so dress appropriately

Chanting with the Goddess
Register at: http://www.womenofwisdom.org/
Location:
Sing your way into greater Oneness through sacred chants and mantras. Experience the transcendence of chant and slip into the warm bath of sacred sound. Kirtan (call-and-response singing the names of the Divine) allows the mind to rest and the heart to blossom. No experience is necessary to directly experience the bliss of chanting. Jennifer and her harmonium (Indian squeeze box) will purposefully lead us deep into the bhakti vibrations. Dancers and instruments welcome…drums, bells, rattles, etc. Bring a cushion to sit on, and water.

You will leave with recipes, inspirations, and the ability to start cheese making in your own home.
