Dear incredible herb women,

I am so happy to see that this blog still exists!  How are all of you???!

I'm still living about 5 minutes from Herb Pharm, as the crow flies, at Seven Seeds Farm <3  The year has been an epic journey of love and loss, of growth and of push and pull and stretch and cry and laugh and play and jump in pond over and over and over again : )

Last weekend we held a permaculture gathering on the property and it was a great success!  Nourishing music, company and incredible food.  I even attempted to host an herb workshop on tincture making--quite rusty I might add!  We harvested Aronia berries and False Solomons Seal berries and they are now resting quietly in a dark cabinet swimming in vodka.  I am on another mission to harvest FSS root for cough syrup, but am still in question of whether or not FSS berries only serve as a laxative?  Does anyone happen to have any knowledge of this?

This weekend, I am strapping down and preparing for a Vision Quest in the upcoming week--4 days and nights without food/water connecting with the Great Spirits.  Send a prayer my way if I happen to cross your mind <3

I am post-poning any spring-time plans until post-journey but Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine is glinting on my horizon...I'm stretching in that direction as so many other things let go and un-wind.

I love you all deeply and send you love and light and blessings from our herb home,
Emily
