On teaching workshops and moving past blockages. Plenty of flowery, colorful, and inspiring images from Chelsea Fuss’ Flower and Garden Retreat, too!

On magic, patience, wild fermentation, and awe at the alchemy of things.

Embrace the warmth and charm of pine in herbalism by foraging and making a delightfully aromatic pine resin salve using infused oil and beeswax.
