The Torah prohibition of "Tolesh" forbids detaching a fruit from its tree, or a plant from the ground, on Shabbat. One violates this prohibition by pulling a fruit off a tree even if he uses his weaker hand. Whereas normally performing an action with one's weaker hand relegates the violation to the level of "De'Rabbanan" (Rabbinic enactment), in the case of Tolesh, one violates the Biblical prohibition regardless of which hand he uses to remove the plant, since the use of the weaker hand has no significant effect on the nature of the act performed. In fact, one violates this prohibition even by biting the fruit off the tree. The Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) laments the fact that many people in his time were unaware of this Halacha, and would bite fruit directly off trees on Shabbat. He goes so far as to recommend appointing guards in orchards on Shabbat to warn people not to commit this transgression.As a safeguard against violations of Tolesh, the Sages enacted that one should not smell a fruit that it still attached to a tree on Shabbat, as one who smells the fruit might then detach it in order to eat it. However, Hacham Ovadia Yosef clarifies that this prohibition forbids only going up to a tree in order to smell a fruit; if one walks into an orchard, he is allowed to smell and enjoy the fragrance of the fruit, and one may even specifically recite the Beracha over fragrances and enjoy the smell of the orchard. Furthermore, this prohibition applies only to edible plants. It is entirely permissible to smell inedible fragrant plants – such as flowers or Hadasim – and one may even hold them with his hands (obviously, without detaching them) and recite the Beracha over the fragrance.It is forbidden to place flowers in water if this will cause the flowers to open. Thus, for example, one may not place roses in water on Shabbat unless they have already fully opened. Even though the flowers are, of course, already detached from the ground, it is nevertheless forbidden to put them in water in such a case, since this will have a significant impact upon their development.The Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles of Cracow, 1530-1572) rules that even if the flowers have opened, or even if the plants do not have flowers, one may place the flowers or plants in water only if they had been in that same water before Shabbat. Under no circumstances, according to the Rama, may one place plants in fresh water on Shabbat. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, based on the ruling of the Rashba (Rav Shlomo Ben Aderet of Barcelona, 1235-1310), rules that one may place plants in fresh water on Shabbat, unless this would cause the flowers to open. For example, it would be permissible to place hadasim in fresh water.A vase of flowers is not Mukseh on Shabbat, and there is no reason to be concerned that moving them with their water will promote their growth in any way. Therefore, it is entirely permissible to move a vase with flowers on Shabbat. Summary: It is forbidden to detach a fruit from a tree on Shabbat with either hand, or by biting it directly from the tree. It is forbidden to smell a fruit that is attached to a tree on Shabbat, but one may smell inedible fragrant plants even though they are still attached to the ground. It is permissible to enjoy the fragrance of an orchard on Shabbat, as long as one does not go up to trees to smell their fruit. One may place flowers or other plants in water on Shabbat, except in the case of flowers which have not yet opened, and will likely open as a result of being placed in water. It is permissible to move a vase of flowers or other plants on Shabbat.

We are now mid-May, halfway through a month of graduations, spring celebrations, and weddings, and Mother's Day is upon us here in the US this coming weekend. Something that all of these celebratory kinds of human-marked rituals and events have in common? We so often mark them with the best of our most loved flowers of the season. With that as our touchstone, I am so pleased to once again be in conversation this week with Deb Prinzing, founder of the Slow Flowers movement here in the U.S. and Canada, and of The Slow Flowers Society, representing the needs, successes, stories, and voices of the floral world in the Slow Flowers Journal, in the weekly Slow Flowers Podcast, and in the annual gathering known as the Slow Flowers Summit, this year happening in Seattle, WA June 26th and 27th. As yet another facet of her floral-focused advocacy, Deb is co-founder and Editorial Director of Bloom Imprint Books, which identifies, develops, and publishes projects that shine a light on the floral lifestyle, showcasing the stories of floral personalities, creatives, entrepreneurs, farmers, artisans, and makers. Their newest title, “Furrow and Flour,” by sisters Sarah Kuenzi and Beth Syphers, fits right in with this week's themes. I don't know how she does it all, but I am so pleased she's back to share with us about it. Enjoy! Cultivating Place now has a donate button!

Adding deep nuance to conversations around herbalism and the botanicals industry, this week's guest Ann Armbrecht shares her extensive knowledge about herbal supply chains and the effects of herbal commodification. Ann focuses much of her research on the stories behind the herbal products available to consumers, detailing the complicated and often exploitative supply chains involved in the mass production of botanical products.Ann and Ayana discuss how we might come into right relationship with the plant world. As plants invite us to imagine and create medicine, what might true health look like? Ann Armbrecht is an anthropologist (PhD, Harvard 1995) whose work explores the relationships between humans and the earth, most recently through her work with plants, herbal medicine, and the botanical industry. She is the director of the Sustainable Herbs Program, a program of the American Botanical Council, which she established in 2016 to help bridge the gaps between the values of herbal medicine and the reality of sourcing and producing herbs on a global scale.She is the author of The Business of Botanicals: Exploring the Healing Promise of Plant Medicines in a Global Industry, that documents her journey following herbs from seed to shelf. She is also the author of the award winning ethnographic memoir, Thin Places: A Pilgrimage Home, and the co-producer of the documentary on traditional western herbalism, Numen: The Healing Power of Plants. Ann was a 2017 Fulbright-Nehru Scholar documenting the supply chain of medicinal plants in India and she lives with her family in central Vermont.Music byFlo Perlin, Jeffery Silverstein, and Andy Tallent.  Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.Support the show

I sit down with Dr. Klaper, an internationally recognized teacher, speaker, and gifted medical practitioner who's been helping patients reverse chronic illness with plant-based nutrition and integrative medicine for the last 40 years. In this episode we hone in on optimal nutrition to prevent America's biggest killers - heart disease and diet-related cancers.  We know that dietary patterns are a key component to preventing and even reversing many common diseases that are prevalent here in the US. Yet this education is still rarely taught to our medical students, emphasized in the medical course curriculum, or even discussed in the general population. Dr. Klaper and I also discuss how to build a nutritious plate with plant-forward nutrition and what specific foods help protect you against these diseases.

These steps led Michael to the Sierra Mazateca of Oaxaca, famous for its sacred mushrooms. From the end of the 1960's era through to the 1970's, Ani lived in the most remote part of the region. He became the only outsider who was ever allowed to collect Desheto, the sacred mushroom species of the deep tropical cloud forest of Chicon Nindo. He was instrumental in fighting the epidemics among the Yanomami people in the rainforests of Venezuela. He also helped to create a school to teach local indigenous people to be healthcare officers in the emerging Alto Orinoco Biosphere Reserve. His work in Venezuela was subsequently featured in the 1994 documentary, Yanomami, Keepers of the Flame, which won the US Environmental Film Festival's Best Documentary of the Year. Keepers of the Flame also became the feature film at the 1994 Brazilian Earth Summit. In 2002, Ani focused his attention back on the Northern States of the Americas and worked to restore some of the very last genetically pure Bison to the Brule, Lakota tribes on the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota. While on Rosebud, Ani responded to the requests of tribal elder Leonard Crow Dog and brought an eyeglass clinic to the reservation. Because of his efforts in South America and Mexico, and his work to build a ceremony house for renowned healer Grandpa Roy Stone, the Amazonia Foundation was honored by being included as an organization under the umbrella of the National Congress of American Indians. Michael has fulfilled his promise to Desheto by writing the book, “The Ghost Dance; an untold history of the Americas”. His catchprase “TALKING PLANTS” refers to a small group of fungi and plants that he believes have developed the ability to communicate with both humans and animals. Michael feels that these plants are key to survival in an uncertain future.    TIMESTAMPS: [6:05] Epidemics in the Amazon and losing jungle knowledge [7:55] Shamanic knowledge is received directly from the plants and spirit [10:34] LSD is GOD in pill form - Tim Leary [11:30] Honouring the sacred by learning the region and communing with the “talking plants” [14:30] Trailing the Ghost Dance, the very first ritual of the Americas [16:15] John Fire Lame Deer, Wounded-Knee and Ghost Dance [21:30] Communing with nature and learning from “talking plants” [27:20] It's not just difficult for US to survive in the forest… [29:05] Apprenticing to the immediate ecology to receive the secrets of the talking plants [31:38] Plants are part of controlling whats going on in the world today and the beginning of the “psychedelic movement” [35:25] Gaian intelligence & our Achilles heel as a species [38:50] Shamans are falling out of the trees [39:55] Tribal communal ceremonies vs deep medicine man ceremonies [43:17] Western culture and mental fragmentations [45:22] Michael's role to keep one lineage in-tact [47:29] Spiraling around to new beginnings by looking to plant medicine cultures of the past [50:00] Learning from Amazonian epidemics and returning to nature for CV-19 [55:16] Using cannabis in it's whole form as a medicine [56:49] Tobacco doesn't carry the same risk when using in its natural form [58:06] Mom + Pop farming is the way forward [59:01] There's a spiritual war in the jungles and it's going to affect us all… [1:01:51] How do you get people to care about ecological disaster?

Is the clutter in your home so overwhelming you don't know where to begin? Or you do begin and quickly make a bigger mess, get frustrated and give up? Are you waiting for motivation to strike and THEN you'll get it together?    Motivation is not going to strike, so STOP waiting for it!  Just get started and guess, what? Momentum will kick in and help you finish the job.  When we look at the big picture, it's easy to get overwhelmed and stay stuck.  In these Saturday morning episodes, I lead you through one very small area of your home to declutter for just 5 minutes.  You won't pull everything out and make a bigger mess, you'll just handle a very small section at a time.  Week after week and little by little, your home will begin to feel lighter. You'll be able to freely open kitchen drawers and quickly find items.  Cleaning will become easier too because you won't be cleaning before you can actually clean.  5 minutes will make a difference! Set your prayer intention to unite your work with Him, pop in this podcast, and set your reward.  Let's get started ****What's your first thought when the doorbell rings?  Do you excitedly swing open the door to greet the person on the other side or do you turn off the lights, remain silent and pray they just go away? Is clutter stopping you from opening the door? Even more, is clutter and the fear of having anyone visit, making you feel lonely and isolated?   On May 14th from 7-9pm EST, I'll be hosting a 2 hour retreat called, “The Visitation Declutter Retreat”.  We'll begin our time together in prayer as we meditate on the visitation of our Blessed Mother when she visits her cousin, Elizabeth.  We'll get to know one another, discuss how this Bible passage resonates with us in regard to our clutter.  We'll join together as like-minded women to break through the challenges of clutter in our lives.  Finally, we'll get to work on decluttering the area of our home that a guest would see immediately.  You'll be able to ask me questions and get encouragement from me and the group as we all work to clear space to make room for welcoming guests as Elizabeth did.  The knowledge you'll gain in this 2 hour retreat will give you the tools to tackle every other area of your home.   The cost is $40 and you can use the link below to sign up.  An email with the zoom link will be sent prior to the retreat.  Please be sure to check your spam folder if you don't see an email from me by the 13th.  Hope to see you there!

Companion planting is a great way to deter pests in our garden, specifically for summer squashes. Some plants repel pests like aphids, whiteflies, melonworms and pickleworm. Others are better suited as trap crops, attracting aphids, squash vine borerers, squash bugs and cucumber beetles so we can remove them from the garden and destroy them before they get to our zucchini or yellow squash. It's important to know which pests we're dealing with so we know which plants to use and how to use them. And I'll bet many of us have used one specific plant incorrectly as a companion plant for our area, and that includes me! Let's dig in to the best, and worst, companion plants for zucchini and other summer squashes.

#41 - What healing wisdom awaits when we study the ancient maps and walk deeper into the forest? Join us for a wonderful conversation with Rongoā Māori Healer Joanne Hakaraia on the mauri, or life force, of plants and how she connects with the primordial wisdom and energy that comes from being in the ngahere (forest). In this episode, Joanne shares an incredible honoring of her ancient lineage with the traditional healing plant medicines of Aotearoa New Zealand. She also offers insight into how she works with the waka or energetic vessel, to help guide people into a deeper way of connecting, knowing, and working with the plants. Joanne Hakaraia is a Rongoā Māori Healer and Māori wahine born and raised in Ōtaki, Aotearoa. She is tangata whenua of Aotearoa. The Tararua ranges and the Ōtaki and Waitohu rivers raised her. She walks with her ancestors exploring the land and working with the mauri of plants. She created a waka, an esoteric vessel, to navigate her way through the ngahere (forest). One tree at a time. She gathered a roopū (group) and studied the trees that protect the ngahere. Then went further into the ngahere and studied the Rākau Rangatira (The Older trees). Connecting to the mauri of plants and sharing that knowledge for healing is Joanne's life purpose. She has dedicated her life to working with and studying plants.You can find Joanne and subscribe to her newslettter at: https://www.rongoamauri.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/rongoamauri/facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rongoamauriYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JoanneHakaraiaFor more info please visit Sara's website at: https://www.multidimensionalnature.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/multidimensional.nature/facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saraartemisia.ms/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@saraartemisiaLearn how to communicate with plant consciousness in the free workshop on How to Learn Plant Language: https://www.learnplantlanguage.com/

If you're new to the podcast, you might not yet know that my New Year's resolution for 2023 is that I wanted to eat 2,023 servings of plants during the year. Every single day I count up the amount of plant servings that I have, and my goal is to get to that number (2,023) by the end of 2023. In today's episode, I'll update you on my current 45-day streak of eating plants, and I'll also be talking about three concepts that are helping me to eat eight servings of plants each day: systems, visualizations, and options. I hope that these three tips I use can help you too!

Orthorexia is defined as "excessive preoccupation with eating healthy food."Well, "normal" is most definitely NOT healthy in our world today. Furthermore, focusing on health and creating healthy habits is essential for being healthy!So are you orthorexic? Does eating WFPB make you orthorexic?It's a big topic and an important question that is worth diving into.In a recent Episode on TMS and Digestion I talked about the direct link between state of mind and emotion on digestive health.The irony is that obsessing around healthy eating and lifestyle habits can make you less healthy!But the key word here is "obsessing" or as Wikipedia puts it "excessive preoccupation."So, let's dive into the conversation!Highlights from this episode:The difference between obsessing about "food" and healthy eating vs obsessing about HEALTHWhy choosing healthy foods and habits is not a "disorder" even though it could be viewed as "weird" or "alternative" by others or society at largeHow to identify the line at which healthy eating habits becomes counterproductive and what to do about it"It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.“ - Jiddu KrishnamurtiFinding balance with choosing sustainable and healthy habits from a peaceful and grounded placeLinks to some more good stuff- ALL NEW EAT MORE, WEIGH LESS PROGRAM - www.alter.health/eat-more-weigh-less- 1-on-1 Nutritional Analysis Package - www.alter.health/nutritional-analysis - Get the Alter Health weekly WFPB Meal Guides: www.alter.health/meal-guides- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants
