💧We’re dipping a pinky toe in the podcasting 💧We’re dipping a pinky toe in the podcasting pool!

We’ll be sharing tales from our Herb School on the North Coast of California, take you on Herb Walks, and chat with inspiring people collaborating with plants to create art, medicine, community, and so much more.

In this first episode Dandelion’s co-directors, Allison Poklemba @earth2allison and Jessica Shepherd @shepherdspursebotanicals, sip tea and reflect on the evolution of their relationships with plants, and the completion of their first year carrying Dandelion’s founder, Jane Bothwell’s, hefty and illuminating teaching torch.

In the flow of their conversation you’ll get a sense of the joy, the wonder, and the meaning that fills both their tea cups through the good work of connecting people with plants for healing & happiness, and for community connection & nature connection.

We invite you to take a listen

(Spotify is being glitchy, but 🤞that bit will work soon!)

P.S. Choosing a name for this project was HARD, but then @kristensmith436 told me that “Diaries are sexy!!! Full of magic and secrets!” so how could we not go with Dandelion Diaries?!?

💚 Loving you all!

An Imbolc Ritual - 🌱- Sprouting Our Potential An Imbolc Ritual - 🌱- Sprouting Our Potential

You always take me by surprise, Spring.

And it is always Elderberry who is the first to catch my breath with your announcement: pair of fresh, day-glow green leaves bursting forth from a gray skeleton of a shrub.

In the moment it seems so unexpected.

Weren’t we just playing in the snow up on the mountain?

Aren’t we still in get-cozy-and-hibernate mode?

Half of my being shouts “Wait! Slow down. I’m not ready!” while the other is tugged joyfully towards garden daydreams.

If you are feeling the energy of this in-between time as well, then you are right on schedule.

The halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox falls on (roughly) February 1st.

As vibrant energy rises upwards from the roots of our plant allies and their shoots begin to grow with fervor, we can infuse this energy into our own lives as well.

We invite you to try this simple, meditative sprouting ritual…

🌱 Find the step by step at our @dandelionherbalcenter L I N K

Now go ahead stretch those dormant parts of yourself that want to grow, and heal, and blossom. May they be awakened like vibrant sprouting seeds!
