IS YOUR CREATIVE SOUL CALLING YOU?
You dream of carving out space and time where you just get to write and be creative
You are desperate to unplug from technology and get quiet enough to hear nature’s whispers
You feel overwhelmed from the never ending to do lists and demands of modern life
You feel a calling to create but you’re not quite sure what
You’d love to learn how plants foraged from the wild can be turned into medicine to support yours and your families health
You want to start learning how to identify plants in nature
You want to connect deeper to nature and develop a deeper relationship with earth
THESE ARE ALL SIGNS FROM YOUR CREATIVE SOUL THAT YOU’RE MEANT TO DIG DEEPER AND RECONNECT BACK TO THE LAND, TO THE WISDOM OF EARTH, AND COME BACK HOME.
