These lovely people asked me to share their message and I am glad to do so. So much of the current epidemic of various cancers is preventable! In this form of the disease asbestos is known to be the cause and yet, it is still used freely, rather than being banned. I call this "pathological disconnection." Reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with community to claim your voice and your power. Follow your passion, and choose your battles. If this one is yours to take on, it's certainly …

New blog post up on the New York Open Center Website! "A healthy immune system is like healthy soil in a garden. It is the ground of your being, and when well it has the ability to fend off pathogens so that you don’t succumb to every virus, bacteria, or pathogenic microbe that passes by or even enters into you. It is a remarkably intelligent system that, in addition to its innate abilities, acquires new knowledge through experience. It learns how to identify, tag and neutralize or destroy foreign presence…

Tis The Season Crisp, cold days and long, starry nights, Full moon sparkling on snow, Each flake a uniquely faceted diamond crystal Inviting quiet reflection The scents of deep green fill the air, stately hemlock, balsam fir, blue spruce and white pine.

But we’re usually not present in our own bodies. We live more often in our minds. This limits us. The mind wants to grasp everything first, but full aliveness happens as you learn to be present and feel, heal, and fully inhabit your body, learning through your senses…

I haven’t been blogging for a long time and I miss communicating with people via the blog, miss sharing thoughts and feelings and stories about plants and trees, or offering counsel and questions about what I see and feel happening on the earth around me.
