Welcome back Bloomsquad, we're here again for another month of magical conversation and reminding you that you are a cosmic, sensual, beautiful being. This time the magic is super real, because we got to sit down with Andy (they/them) of Saint Alchemy, a cosmic wildcrafter based in Alberta, Canada who spends most of their time in deep connection with the Earth. We got to chat with Andi about how to honour the seasons through connection with the Earth, how their practice looks throughout the year, how to decolonize working with nature, how queer identity shows up in herbalism, and so so much more. Truly, this chat felt like stirring the cauldron, and we can't wait for you all to meet this gorgeous human. Find Andi on Instagram at @saint.alchemy.

What if growing food was never meant to be about just the end product? What are we missing from conventional agriculture and gardening? Steven Martyn is an Ontario based teacher and practitioner of sacred agriculture and what he terms wildculturing. He focusses on the traditional living skills of growing food, building and healing and has a unique take on how we can live in the with the earth. Steven had me pondering how agriculture has been used to create culture historically, how we incorporate intentionality into horticulture, he even had me rethinking my morning beverage… About Steven Martyn Steven says “After passing from my body when I was 19 I saw what my life purpose was, and that I had fallen well short. I was given back my body to fulfill a very specific purpose in this life. Since that time forty some years ago I have spent my life spreading the green gospel and bringing people back to be healed by our Great Mother Earth. I spent many years teaching traditional plant use and many more de-programing colonial thinking, opening peoples minds and hearts to a sacred relationship with land, and specifically with the plant people. I practice and teach forms of sacred agriculture and “wildculturing” that our ancestors have practiced since the Paleocene, that generate such abundance the land easily feeds our family, school and friends.” Steven has more than thirty years experience living co-creatively with the Earth, practicing traditional living skills of growing food, building and healing. Steven created Livingstone & Greenbloom in 1986, Toronto's first green landscaping company. In 1996, he created the Algonquin Tea Company, North America's premiere bioregional tea company. He has given talks and run workshops internationally for more than twenty years and taught plant identification and wilderness skills at Algonquin college for 11 years, and at the Orphan Wisdom School for eight years. In 2014, Megan and Steven started the Sacred Gardener Earth Wisdom School. Steven released his first book The Story of the Madawaska Forest Garden in 2016, his second, Sacred Gardening in June 2017 and The Roundhouse in 2022.

Responsible Parent Podcast: There's an herb for that pt. 2 Summary This episode is part two of a conversation with herbalist Jim McDonald about using herbs for natural nervous system regulation. Making teas: Chamomile, spearmint, lemon balm, orange peel are good choices. Tinctures can be used instead of teas, but alcohol content is minimal. Growing your own herbs: Many herbs are easy to grow at home, and some like lemon balm can be quite prolific. Using safe herbs: When using herbs, especially during pregnancy or lactation, it's important to research potential interactions and consult with a qualified herbalist, not just a medical doctor. Learning about herbs: There are many resources available for learning about herbs, but be sure to choose reliable sources from experienced herbalists. Wildcrafting herbs: Burdock root is a good example of a wildcrafted herb. When wildcrafting, it's important to find safe locations away from roads and potential contaminants. Books by Samuel Thayer are recommended as a good resource for learning about foraging for edible wild plants. Key takeaways Herbs can be a safe and natural way to support your nervous system. There are many ways to use herbs, including teas, tinctures, and culinary applications. It's important to learn about herbs before using them, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. When wildcrafting herbs, be sure to find safe locations.

Many real estate agents and brokers who cater to investors think that the main thing their clients want is a great deal.   True?   We would say partly.   But if you want loyal, repeat clients who buy from you over and over again, and pay close attention and heed your advice… you have to provide more.   Listen in now as Sedona-based realtor Chad McMahon lays out his mindset and approach for creating a thriving practice that not only results in repeat business and referrals, but has allowed him to co-launch a $20M fund that invests in 15 to 100-unit multifamily properties.   More about Chad McMahon: Chad McMahan is the CEO of Capital Giants, an Arizona real estate investment fund.  He has over 25 years of experience in real estate investment, including investment specialization as a top real estate agent in Sedona, Arizona where he consults for investors, other real estate agents, and property managers, regarding market adjustments, cash flow and investment strategy as well as changes to Arizona real estate law.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are excited to chat with internationally renowned wild foods expert, wilderness skills teacher and founder of “Rural Courses”, Michael White. Michael caught the foraging bug young and early experiences of loading sheep feed buckets full of field fungi and eating them piled high on buttered toast, sentenced Michal to a life dedicated to the hunt! Foraging for plants and fungi rubbed shoulders with hunting, fishing, and farming to the extent that eating from the land became his norm and to buy from the shops an uneasy extravagance. Four years in London studying classical singing was enough to confirm that city life, or that of an opera singer was not for him and on graduating he flung himself into almost total self-sufficiency.  Skills learned in childhood became essential tools for putting food on the table and driven by necessity, his foraging abilities improved rapidly. In his early 20's Michael began teaching foraging and self-sufficiency skills. This side of life has grown into a new passion, taking him into cities, other countries, schools, but mostly the forest, to inspire and educate thousands of people about the awesome word of fungi, foraging and life on the land. Currently life is very full for Michael raising three children, teaching, expanding his understanding about medicinal mushrooms and living off the land. His greatest pleasure is to share knowledge and a love of the natural world with his son and two daughters and the fantastic people he meets through courses and workshops.    TOPICS COVERED:      Kent's Wild Food Landscape   The Decision to Start Educating Others in the Wild    Life in the Wilds Takes Work!   Reclaiming Power through Rewilding   Foraging as a State of Mind   Diverging from Modernity    How do Foraging and Wildcraft Practices Change Social Cohesion?    Educating Children about Nature   Culinary Inspiration from Foraged Fare   Medicinal Properties of Plants & Fungi    Wild Beer, Wine and Spirits   Hunting and Working with Game    Starting the Path to Self-Sufficiency    Dangers of Our Experimental, Digital World   EPISODE RESOURCES:   Rural Courses Website: https://www.ruralcourses.co.uk/    Michael White IG: https://www.instagram.com/rural_courses/   Macrolepiota procera (AKA Parasol Mushroom): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrolepiota_procera    First-Nature (Plant and Fungi ID): https://www.first-nature.com/    Family Phallacaea (AKA Stinkhorns): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallaceae

Join us for a breath of fresh air with episode 45 of 'Eatweeds,' a podcast dedicated to celebrating the joy and richness of wild food. Our host, Robin Harford, transports us away from the bustle of daily life, inviting us to pause, reflect, and savor the exquisite moments of being at one with nature.In this special episode, Robin trades his traditional role as host to become our storyteller, bringing to life his personal essay on the pure, simple beauty of gathering Hawthorn flowers for syrup.Key topics covered include:- The art and wonder of foraging, in this case, focusing on the hawthorn.- The transformative process of wildcrafting, turning simple hawthorn flowers into a tantalizing syrup.- Embracing nature's cycles and the magic of spring when hawthorns bloom.Robin takes us on a sensory journey, painting a vivid picture of an English spring, when Hawthorn trees burst into life, their branches heavy with cream-colored blooms. As he walks us through the process of gathering these delicate blossoms, we are immersed in a fairy-tale landscape where bees dance joyously around the flowers, and the early morning dew brings a glistening freshness to the day.But this episode is about more than just the act of gathering hawthorn flowers; it's a meditative exploration of our connection to the natural world. As Robin shares his experience, we learn how foraging becomes a kind of alchemy, transforming not just the flowers into syrup, but the forager into an integral part of nature's narrative.Robin eloquently conveys the sheer joy and vitality that come from engaging directly with nature, infusing life with a rustic simplicity that's often missing in our urbanized existence. Making hawthorn syrup becomes a meaningful ritual, a way to weave nature into our everyday routines, creating an escape from emails, screens, and the never-ending scroll of modern life.In this enchanting episode of 'Eatweeds', Robin invites you to join him in saying yes to the delight of gathering Hawthorn flowers and invites you to rediscover a connection that nurtures not just our bodies, but our souls.Tune in, step out, and allow the wild to feed your spirit with Eatweeds!

We talk a lot about connecting to nature here on the podcast, but it's usually through the lens of agriculture, cultivating, and farming.But that's just the beginning. Wildcrafting, hunting, and fishing connect us to the natural world in powerful way. I'm thrilled to be joined by author and angler, Conor Sullivan, in this podcast episode. We talk about the similarities between the ocean and the prairie, why fishing may just be your next old-fashioned adventure, how to start fishing as an adult (even if you've never done it before), and his best tried-and-true fish cooking tips.Learn more about Conor Sullivan here: https://www.conorjsullivan.com/ Follow Conor Sullivan's Instagram account here: https://www.instagram.com/sullivanlures/Preorder Old-Fashioned on Purpose now and get exclusive bonuses! http://oldfashionedbook.com/Learn more about the Modern Homestead Conference here: https://modernhomesteading.com/ Have a message you want to share with the world?

Kathleen has been a member of AODA since early 2015. Her personal spiritual journey began in Catholicism; traveled through the mysticism of Eastern religions; wound through the earthy wonder of Nature Based Religions; eventually arriving at her spiritual home in contemplative Druidry, the AODA and the GCC. As a Druid Apprentice Kathleen became an AODA  Mentor. After advancing to the Companion Degree Kathleen developed and coordinated the AODA Member Outreach program and earned the title of Grand Almoner. A deep desire to serve the spiritual needs of the Druid community-led Kathleen to the Gnostic Celtic Church, where she became a Deacon in 2017, an ordained Priestess in 2019, and Preceptor of the GCC and Archdruid of Fire in 2020. As Preceptor Kathleen developed the concept of the “service” path for GCC priests/priestesses and became a consecrated Bishop in 2021. After proposing and developing a monastic path within the GCC, Kathleen became the Abbess of the Gnostic Celtic Church Monastery, which opened its online doors at the Spring Equinox in 2022.A Contemplative Druid deeply interested in spirituality, Kathleen earned certification as an Interreligious/Interspiritual Guide in early 2020, so she is uniquely qualified to provide Spiritual Guidance services to members of the  GCC clergy, as well as to others who walk non-traditional spiritual paths. Kathleen has also completed the Dolmen Arch course, for which she is now a qualified instructor.Kathleen is an active member of Spiritual Directors International, The Theosophical Society of America, The Parliament of World Religions and is a Bard in the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, where she is currently studying the Ovate grade. She lives in Homer Glen, Illinois with her husband, their two sons and two cats.AODA Website:https://aoda.org/AODA Curriculum Overview:http://aoda.org/aoda-membership/curriculum-requirements/Gnostic Celtic Church:https://aoda.org/aoda-structure/gnostic-celtic-church-gcc/A Vision for AODA Druidry: Seven Core Principles of AODA:https://aoda.org/vision/AODA Discord Server:https://discord.gg/xJqEKVYyvfAODA Forums:https://forum.aoda.org/AODA Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AODADruidryGrand Arch Druid Dana O'Driscoll Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/druidsgardenart/?hl=enPodcast Contact Email:druidwisdompodcast@gmail.comPodcast Instagram:https://instagram.com/druidwisdompodcast?utm_medium=copy_linkEarth Rituals: http://aoda.org/earthrituals/Rule of Awen & Hermitage of the Hearthttp://aoda.org/aoda-structure/gnostic-celtic-church-gcc/rule-of-awen/Requirements for Ordination in GCC:http://aoda.org/aoda-structure/gnostic-celtic-church-gcc/requirements-for-ordination/

Valdeir is an AODA Candidate that resides in Half Moon Bay, Ca.

His passion for history gives a solid foundation to his spiritual journey. In Valdeir's commitment to the community by forming the Humanist Lodge of Freemasons, we unpack the similarities of Freemasonry and Druidry in our conversation. AODA's podcast focuses on exploring the many aspects of modern druidry through interviewing druids from many walks of life. By hearing each other's stories and sharing about our paths, we are able to understand and document how diverse modern druid practices are.  By sharing the stories of various AODA druids, we can all come to a deeper understanding of our living tradition, build our tradition in new ways, and explore how our values and practices allow for meaningful connection with nature. AODA Website:https://aoda.org/AODA Curriculum Overview:http://aoda.org/aoda-membership/curriculum-requirements/Gnostic Celtic Church: https://aoda.org/aoda-structure/gnostic-celtic-church-gcc/A Vision for AODA Druidry: Seven Core Principles of AODA:https://aoda.org/vision/AODA Discord Server:https://discord.gg/xJqEKVYyvfAODA Forums:https://forum.aoda.org/AODA Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/AODADruidryGrand Arch Druid Dana O'Driscoll Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/druidsgardenart/?hl=enPodcast Contact Email:druidwisdompodcast@gmail.comPodcast Instagram:https://instagram.com/druidwisdompodcast?utm_medium=copy_linkEarth Rituals:http://aoda.org/earthrituals/The Green Foothills: https://www.greenfoothills.org/Humanist Lodge of Freemasons:Humanist Lodge of Freemasons - Home (facebook.com)

One of our habits as herbalists and teachers is to avoid the word “use” with reference to plants. We don't say “I use meadowsweet for headaches” or “I use Japanese knotweed for Lyme disease”. We don't say “I use chamomile for stomach cramps” or even “I use ginger as a stimulating diaphoretic”. And when students ask “how do you use schisandra berries?”, we stop and have a discussion about the word before we talk about the plant. If you've listened to our podcast for a while, you might have noticed this already!Why do we do it? First and foremost, we don't regard plants as “things”, anymore than we do animals or people. They are living beings and deserve respect. This is not merely a personal matter. The dominant cultural perspective which regards plants as mere resources to be exploited has visible consequences in our world. Ecosystem destruction is the major force threatening wild plant populations, and overharvesting is another top factor. Both are outgrowths of a view of plants as commodities. Changing our language is a way to change our perspective.Mentioned in this episode:Introducing the WildCheck Report (April 28, 2022) – Sustainable Herbs Programdirect link to the WildCheck Report (Schindler, C., Heral, E., Drinkwater, E., Timoshyna, A., Muir, G., Walter, S., Leaman, D.J. and Schippmann, U. 2022.

Yellow leaves, undeveloped fruit, long “leggy” stems between the leaf nodes – these are some of the key signs of a plant under stress. But if you've never met this species before, you might not know something's off! Other signs are not so visible, and require you to know the plant stand for a season or a full year before you can see them. The point here is this: both observation and patience are needful to accurately assess the stress load of a plant, stand, or ecosystem.Taking the time to get to know these indicators, and to steward the land you gather from, will make you a better herbalist. Whether you're a wildcrafter, grower, clinician, product maker, or any other type of herbalist, patient observation and adaptive response are key skills, and they transfer smoothly from one domain to the others.Our Herbal Community Care Toolkit is chock full of low-cost, abundantly accessible herbs for addressing common health issues.

We talk with Claire Schosser who  became a Companion in May 2018 and joined the Grand Grove as Grand Almoner in late 2018. In September 2019 she became the Archdruid of Fire, advancing to Archdruid of Water in March 2020. Claire Schosser has followed winding physical, vocational, and spiritual paths during her 60+ years of life.  Her blog, Living Low in the Lou, documents her efforts to apply the scientific method and ecological concepts to vegetable gardening and her and her husband Mike's work to reduce their negative impact on the earth. Her Druid path combines the ecological with the spiritual through her gardening practice, her Stream Team work with the local creek, and the Dolmen Arch practices she learned from taking the course. Having completed the Dolmen Arch course in summer 2019, she is qualified to teach it to others.AODA's podcast focuses on exploring the many aspects of modern druidry through interviewing druids from many walks of life.

@ArtemisAscendant joins us for this week's show!! Christa Whiteman is an adult-onset hunter, conservationist, practicing chiropractor, and clinical herbalist who shares her passion for the wild foods lifestyle she has so lovingly dedicated her life to with all manner of newcomers to the outdoors through social media, and through multiple educational outdoors organizations and mentoring opportunities. I hope you leave after listening to todays episode with a deeper sense of belonging and feeling of being welcome in whatever outdoor pursuits you have a mind to start engaging in, and how life can be enriched when its shaped by the seasons and influenced by the landscape.  One thing will be really apparent as you listen in - When our minds are focused on engaging in the outdoors as an intrinsic value that is heavily connected to someone's lifestyle, theres always something to be excited about. We quickly flow into a talk on the importance of always striving to expand your knowledge of the local and not so local landscape to provide valuable insight to listeners new to hunting or foraging on the nuances and amount and types of effort it takes to actually be successful in procurement of wild foods. Each season's peak may only be a certain month out of the calendar year, but each and every individual pursuit has year round work for us if we want to find sustainable success. We then appropriately spend some time discussing optimizing our time in the outdoors and the dedication it takes to develop a well rounded relationship with your local ecosystems.

We talk with Dana O'Driscoll who currently serves as the Grand Archdruid of the AODA and is an Ollave Adept. Her Druid Adept project explored connections between permaculture and druidry and we discuss using natural materials for a variety of projects. Complimentary OBOD studies, family traditions and land healing are also touched on in our conversation with Dana.AODA's podcast focuses on exploring the many aspects of modern druidry through interviewing druids from many walks of life. By hearing each other's stories and sharing about our paths, we are able to understand and document how diverse modern druid practices are.  By sharing the stories of various AODA druids, we can all come to a deeper understanding of our living tradition, build our tradition in new ways, and explore how our values and practices allow for meaningful connection with nature. Dana O'Driscoll spent most of her childhood in the wooded hills of the Laurel Highlands region of Pennsylvania, making mud pies, building brush cabins, and eating berries. Thankfully, little has changed, and she can still be found practicing permaculture, wildcrafting, and natural arts and is often covered with paint, dirt, or both. She is a certified permaculture designer and teacher. Dana currently serves as the Grand Archdruid of the AODA and is an Ollave Adept. She is also a Druid-grade graduate of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids and served as the 2018 OBOD Mount Haemus scholar. Her Druid Adept project explored connections between permaculture and druidry, the end result of which was published as Sacred Actions: Living the Wheel of the Year Through Earth-Centered Sustainable Practices in 2021. She is also the author and illustrator of the Tarot of Trees, Plant Spirit Oracle, and TreeLore Oracle. Her writings on druidry and permaculture can be found at The Druid's Garden.

In our very first episode Keara and Dave talk about the Ancient Order of Druids in America's highly adaptable curriculum that allows members to "wildcraft" their own individual druid path of nature spirituality and inner transformation through personal experience rather than dogmatic belief. We discuss our mentoring program and the independent sacramental church of nature spirituality; The Gnostic Celtic Church, the center of the religious dimension of our tradition.We explore through the AODA values which include the seven core principles that honor the past, respond to the present, and, through nature-based spiritual practice, offer tools to shape the future.The AODA podcast focuses on exploring the many aspects of modern druidry through interviewing druids from many walks of life.

Her Candidate explorations focus on ogham divination (Druid), tree learning + identification (Ovate), and pyrography (Bard). She lives in Ontario, where the Canadian Shield meets the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands, and builds and celebrates her connection with her environment through hiking, camping, and canoeing the rivers and lakes in the region.
