About Us Some
of my earliest childhood memories were of my grandmother and
mother picking the tender, young shoots of *dandelions to cook
for our spring Sunday dinners.
After dinner, we would all spend the afternoon in the
back yard enjoying the golden warmth of the sun.
My sister and I would crunch on the tart, juicy
*rhubarb from grandma’s patch while our parents and grandma
would sip on a glass of sweet, thick *elderberry wine. No
matter what “ailed you” grandma always had a natural cure.
No wonder most of grandma’s side of the family lived
until they were around 100 yrs. Old. In
the early 1990s, I started on the path of following my Native
American (Abenaki/Mohawk) roots.
I loved the feeling of being at one with mother earth
through gardening herbs, flowers, and vegetables.
I started working with Native American elders and
gathered knowledge from their wisdom that had been passed down
from generation to generation, learning of natural remedies
and foods from what most people thought were weeds. In
1997, Kodiak (Abenaki/Mic Maq) and I met at a summer solstice
ceremony in We
regularly attend pow wows
throughout the “All
things are connected like the blood of life that unites us.
We did not weave the web of life; we are merely a
strand in it. Whatever
we do to the web we do to ourselves.” Chief Seattle *Dandelion
cleanses the liver and kidneys. *Rhubarb
boosts immune system, laxative. *Elderberry fights colds, flu, and fever. |
“For thousands of years, women collected plants from the meadows and woodlands and used them to create healing medicines. They gathered herbs by the waning and waxing of the moon, artfully created preparations, and developed herbal formulas. The best of these remedies were added to the lore, and the wisdom was transferred from mother to daughter, from wise woman to apprentice, for countless generations. This is the legacy we have inherited. Healers, wise women – these women were the center and source of medicine and healing for their communities. They understood the cycles of the season, the ebb and flow of the universe, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the natural rhythms of the bodies.” Rosemary Gladstar Herbalist/Author and one of many teachers |
