In this episode, I'm sharing some of my favorite medicinal herb pairings from my own garden and exploring the art of companion planting—not just from a gardening standpoint, but also from an energetic and symbolic perspective.Over the years, I've discovered that many herbs don't just grow well together—they thrive in each other's presence. These plant partnerships offer physical benefits like pest control, soil improvement, and immune support, while also weaving a subtle web of metaphysical resonance. When we plant with intention, the garden becomes more than a productive space—it becomes a living, healing relationship.In this video, I walk you through four powerful herbal pairings and why they work on both a biochemical and spiritual level:

In this episode of our Anthropy special series, we speak with Joanna Yarrow, who helps run Human Nature Places, a company creating neighbourhoods that make sustainable living easier. Joanna brings a unique perspective shaped by her upbringing in a Sussex woodland with "Good Life" parents who embraced sustainability before it was fashionable. Her journey from homemade clothes and organic sandwiches to working with IKEA on sustainability reveals how she's navigated the tension between sustainable values and modern aspirations. Joanna discusses how sustainability needs to connect to people's everyday lives to truly succeed, focusing particularly on food and transportation as key impact areas. She offers a refreshing take on joy as an important but overlooked sustainability metric.

I was thrilled to have a chance to interview Dr. Jacqui Wilkins! I've been following her on social media for some time now, and her posts always brighten my day with their beauty and insight. Our conversation went so many places – from the ways that herbalism can reconnect us with the land and our ancestors, to more technical aspects of how chemical constituents of plants interact with our hormones.I was also really excited Dr. Jacqui chose to speak about yarrow, my plant ally for the year. Yarrow is an amazingly versatile plant with so many gifts that sometimes I wonder, what can't yarrow do? Dr. Jacqui discussed some really unexpected ways of working with yarrow, and I can't wait to try the Heart + Boundaries Oxymel recipe she shared. You'll find a beautifully illustrated recipe card for it here: https://bit.ly/4jb6Leh By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Why yarrow is many people's most-used field medicine► A fascinating way to work with yarrow root► The chemical constituent that yarrow has in common with chamomile - and how the two herbs can be worked with similarly► Seven different herbal preparations for yarrow► How to work with yarrow to help you set and hold your boundaries► and so much more…For those of you who don't already know her, Dr. Jacqui, ND, is a mixed Indigenous Yakama, Irish and Eastern European Naturopathic Doctor, plant medicine person, birth worker, teacher and steward of the earth. She tends to the Xálish Medicine Garden on Vancouver Island, which is the Snuneymuxw Territory, crafting plant medicines through Xálish Medicines, and honoring her mixed lineages of earth and stars. She shares wisdom of earth based practices, plant medicines, ancestral reverence and earth tending—remembering we are nature, not separate from creation.

What if recruitment agency growth didn't mean adding headcount?Helen Yarrow has spent over 30 years in recruitment—and for most of it, she felt like she was falling short of the industry's definition of success.Why? Because she never scaled a big team.Despite launching her business 14 years ago and building a strong reputation in the B2B events space, she carried a sense that staying solo meant she hadn't really “made it”.That belief stayed with her until her 50s.This week on The RAG Podcast, Helen shares how she finally let go of the pressure to scale, and found clarity in building a business that fits her life—not someone else's idea of success.In this episode, we cover:- Her journey from Rec2Rec into B2B events recruitment- The realities of raising a family while running a business- The turning point that helped her stop chasing a model that didn't feel right- Why staying solo might actually be the most powerful decision you can makeIf you've ever questioned whether bigger really means better, this one will resonate.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Helen Yarrow and Jackson Barnes02:58 Helen's Journey into Recruitment06:02 Career Progression and Challenges in Recruitment09:11 Transitioning to Motherhood and Work-Life Balance11:51 Establishing Jackson Barnes and Finding Clarity15:07 The Shift to Conference and B2B Events Recruitment17:52 The Role of Conference Producers20:55 Building a Business Around Family Life24:00 Reflections on Success and Team Building34:51 Redefining Success in Business37:12 The Journey of Solo Entrepreneurship39:34 Reflections on Parenting and Work-Life Balance42:57 The Importance of Self-Awareness45:00 Navigating Parenting Challenges50:20 The Impact of COVID-19 on Business54:58 Finding Fulfillment in Work01:01:12 Marketing as a Game Changer01:03:43 Advice for Women in Recruitment01:07:52 The Importance of Open Communication in the Workplace__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: UntappedUntapped is THE market leader and go-to agency for finding and hiring tried-and-tested offshore talent into UK, US and Australian-based recruitment companies.They're providing top-class TEAMMATES, NOT OUTSOURCES!

In 1916, the National Institution for Moral Instruction had a contest to see who could come up with the best morality code. For kids.

What feeds the soul? What is it we want when we can't stop wanting? How can we “detox” the brain to feed the soul and support holistic well-being? That's what this episode is about, featuring a common, potent aromatic herb to explore working with essential oils on a transcendent dimension. Yes, I'm going there. Toxins come in many forms—from external pollutants, negative self-talk, or the stress of daily life. By focusing on the self and addressing controllable factors like thoughts and emotions, we set the stage for holistic well-being. And guess what works with emotions? Essential oils and the practice of working with those oils: Aromatherapy. Here's the kicker: aromatherapy is a powerful, subtle modality: less is more. It only takes a small amount of essential oil to communicate with our limbic and nervous systems—promoting emotional and mental balance. This episode goes there: detoxing the mind with essential oils to break through mental loops and find balance.And then there's the poetry. Poetry feeds the soul. Creative expression. Three poems are shared in this episode with the intention of conveying deeper meaning to this work of cleansing the mind and feeding the soul. Now what about those plants and oils? There is a large, global palate of aromatic plants and their essential oils to work with. We each choose our own allies based on preferences. For years Yarrow has been alongside me, in the garden, growing in fields, but I never fully felt its energy, its protective qualities, until this past 6 months or so. This is a wonderful herb for promoting balance and clarity, but it is powerful. Only to be turned to with specific intention for short periods of time. Yarrow stands out for its ability to support detoxing of the mind, acting as a protective shield against negative influences and helping to bring buried emotions to the surface safely. This episode will illustrate how Yarrow's holistic healing properties can soothe both physical and emotional trauma, offering a sense of detachment, clarity, and presence.Links to classes and articles:• Detoxing the Brain Video Class• Yarrow Plant Talk Article• You are Not Your Emotions Article (Myth of the Emotional Brain)• Carolyn Jones

Have you ever felt drawn to create a sacred space for healing, reflection, or guidance? In this video, we'll explore the rich history and meaning behind altars—why they've been used across cultures and how they can serve as powerful tools for intention-setting in your own life. I'll walk you through simple steps to create a personal plant altar, from choosing a meaningful location to selecting herbs and objects that align with your purpose. We'll look at key plant allies—like Rue, Rosemary, Black Cohosh, Passionflower, Hawthorn, and Yarrow—and how they can support the energy of your altar space. I'll also share a personal story of a time when I built an altar with a specific intention in mind and how that vision became a reality through the daily connection with this sacred space. Whether you're new to working with altars or looking for inspiration, I hope this video provides clear, simple steps to help you create your own. ————  MY ONLINE COURSES

The episode that nearly didn't happen for reasons almost too embarrassing to share… but what else is the intro for?

In this episode of Essential Aromatica, Amy converses with Dr. Kelly Ablard from the Airmid Institute about the complex interplay between ecology, the crucial role medicinal and aromatic plants play in sustaining eco-cultural-systems and what the essential oil community can do to support global and local ecologies and the Earth overall. Episode Highlights: The Unique Relationship Between Biology, Aromatherapy, and Chemical Ecology. Explore how the chemicals that facilitate interactions among species are found in essential oils. (Pheromones, Allomones!) The Importance of Ethnobotany via Philology and Biology. Sustaining cultural ecology by preserving indigenous wisdom through recording the oral records of medicinal and aromatic plants. This relates to Plants Shaping Our Lives by Creating Our Environment. From the oxygen we breathe to the food we eat and the clothes we wear, this deep connection to plants underscores their fundamental role in our culture and daily lives. If we don't Preserve Plant Life and Support Ecosystems, More of our Earth will Experience Rosewood's Dire Situation seen in Peru. Its pivotal role in maintaining ecological balance was the reason Dr. Ablard started the Airmid Institute. To understand the ripple effect on an ecosystem of losing key species such as Rosewood proves the necessity to preserve these plants to ensure ecosystem health (inclusive of humans, plants, animals and insects.) Something similar may be happening in Southern California with White Sage, which is over-harvested and illegally harvested to supply a widespread appetite for smudge sticks and other White Sage applications. How Can We Help? Find Analogs. We don't have to work with Sandalwood from India, White Sage from California or even Tea Tree from Australia. Find analogs that you can grow in your backyard, community garden or source locally. Some examples we talk about are Rosemary, Eastern Red Cedar and Yarrow. Think Locally While Supporting Sustainable Global Trade when buying aromatic plants, herbs and essential oils. (Yes, think local and global!) Appreciate the value of sourcing medicinal plants locally and supporting indigenous programs across the world that use ancestral cultivation techniques. Balance local plant use with sustainable global trade to support communities tied to these aromatic plants. Be mindful of Conservation Status and International Trade: The IUCN Red List and CITES activity help protect endangered plant species. As a consumer, understanding the importance of asking about CITES permits and sustainable sourcing when purchasing essential oil is critical. Understand Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research Impact on Plant Ecology and Survival. Pharmaceutical and clinical research contributes to the extinction of some plant species such as Sandalwood and Spikenard; the importance of quality control, safety, and conservation statuses should be noted and accounted for. Foster a Child's Understanding of Ecology by nurturing a love for plants and a sense of place. Support education programs in schools, encourage learning from elders, and involve them in gardening, community gardens, and nature-based activities like hiking. Through the book, “No Place for Plants,” Dr. Kelly Ablard and Frauke Galia highlight the impact of urban development on ecosystems and cultures. The narrative focuses on the vital role of community gardens in urban areas and emphasizes the need for children to connect with nature and advocate for green spaces.

In this video, How to Heal Your Lungs & Recover Your Vitality, I'm sharing my personal journey using herbs to heal my lungs after battling pneumonia. Working alongside pharmaceutical medicines, I relied on a range of supportive herbs—like Mullein, Peppermint, Lungwort, Yarrow, Bee Balm, Cinnamon, and Licorice—to soothe and strengthen my respiratory system. I'll walk you through which herbs helped, which didn't work as well, and what I would approach differently if I had to go through it again. I'll also dive into an often-overlooked but essential aspect of healing: convalescence. This practice, rooted in Ancient Greek medicine, is all about allowing the body the time and care it needs for true recovery. In today's world, we tend to rush through recovery, but focusing on convalescence can make a real difference in regaining long-term health and vitality. Whether you're recovering from a respiratory illness or just looking to strengthen your lungs, I hope these insights and tips help you on your healing journey. ———— Herbal Lung Recipe Ingredients: 1 tbsp Yarrow 3 tbsp Bee Balm or Oregano 1 tbsp Peppermint or Spearmint 1 tbsp Marshmallow Root 1 Mullein Leaf (approx 2 tbsp) 1 tbsp Lungwort 2 tsp Cinnamon chips 1 tsp Licorice root ———— Directions: Add herbs to a teapot with a strainer or a saucepan. Add 2 cups of hot water and let steep for 10 - 15 minutes. Strain and drink to restore lung health and vitality. ———— Where to Buy Herbs https://mountainroseherbs.com/ https://oshalafarm.com/ https://www.herbalist-alchemist.com/ ———— Other Convalescent Tips Take Hot Baths Self-Massage with Herbal Oils Eat Warm Easy to Digest Foods like Soups Make Art Take Naps Journal Your Dreams Move Slowly Stay Quiet

Ambrose Cusk and Kodiak Celius are now the devoted parents of two teenage children, Owl and Yarrow, in a hardscrabble frontier home.

His mother betrayed him, and the cruelty of her true plans sets Ambrose spiraling.

We might see ourselves, as Ursula Le Guin writes, ‘one syllable of a word spoken slowly by the stars'. In this episode we wonder together what is maked possible when we reclaim and retell sacred narratives about being human, as an alternative to the mechanistic views of existence as meaning-free and humans as accidents in a cold unfeeling universe. How might these narratives help us step into a life in which we open to what is around us, and the life-giving qualities in one another?

Here's our source for this week: One Word Spoken Slowly by the Stars “Aye,” Ged answered. “Light is a power. A great power, by which we exist, but which exists beyond our needs, in itself. Sunlight and starlight are time, and time is light. In the sunlight, in the days and years, life is. In a dark place life may call upon the light, naming it.” … There was a little pause; and Yarrow asked, “Tell me just this, if it is not a secret: what other great powers are there besides the light?” “It is no secret. All power is one in source and end, I think. Years and distances, stars and candles, water and wind and wizardry, the craft in a man's hand and the wisdom in a tree's root: they all arise together. My name, and yours, and the true name of the sun, or a spring of water, or an unborn child, all are syllables of the great word that is very slowly spoken by the shining of the stars. There is no other power. No other name.” Staying his knife on the carved wood, Murre asked, “What of death?” [Yarrow] listened, her shining black head bent down. “For a word to be spoken,” Ged answered slowly, “there must be silence. Before, and after.”  Ursula K Le Guin, The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition (p. 157). Orion Photo by Zoltan Tasi on Unsplash

Why is biodynamic viticulture sometimes associated with dark magic or the occult? Why is using wine in religious rituals as a sacrament considered normal for many people, but taking it beyond that is not? Why are wines from England becoming increasingly popular? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Jo Penn, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, about her latest novel, Blood Vintage, set in an English vineyard. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Highlights What were the most memorable aspects of the Pinot Noir tours Jo attended in South Otago while living in New Zealand? Which New Zealand foods pair best with their Pinot Noirs? What is Jo's new book, Blood Vintage, about? Which wines would Jo and I pair with Blood Vintage? How did Jo find the inspiration for writing Blood Vintage? What's behind the rise of English wines? How did a high school performance of Euripides' "The Bacchae" influence Jo's writing of Blood Vintage? What are some of the ways that people can get injured or die working in a vineyard? What did Jo learn about biodynamic winemaking from visiting Limeburn Hill Vineyard? Why is biodynamic winemaking sometimes associated with the occult? How might you experience the differences between the taste of a biodynamic wine versus a conventionally produced wine? What was the most surprising thing Jo learned about winemaking while writing Blood Vintage?   Key Takeaways Jo shares her experience visiting a biodynamic vineyard, where various preparations were made from animal stomachs, intestines, and skulls, as well as plants like Yarrow and chamomile. Some people hear about these practices and think they're strange. Others view the vineyard as an ecosystem where they're trying to infuse a sense of place into every single drop of the wine. In both Christianity and Judaism, but taking it further to a different plane of consciousness, like some of the ancient Celtic celebrations tied to nature and fertility she explores in the book, is often considered outside the norm. Climate change has made the south of England similar to the Champagne region in France in terms of the warmth needed to ripen grapes. The UK now produces about 8 to 10 million bottles annually from 800 vineyards. English sparkling wines are winning the awards, and in many blind tastings, they're often placing ahead of French bibblies. Champagne producers are also buying English vineyards.   About Jo Penn Jo Penn is an award-winning New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of horror, thrillers, dark fantasy, crime, travel memoirs, and short stories. She's also an award-winning podcaster. She has a Master's in Theology from the University of Oxford. Her latest novel is Blood Vintage, a folk horror story set in an English vineyard.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/305.

Slushies, waves abound in this lively discussion of a poem by Martha Silano and two more by Jane Hilberry. The way stream of consciousness can crest and fall, sound waves, the missed and caught waves in real life (including runs of luck or the lack of it), not to mention the different ways in which we experience poetry– the gang rides wave after wave. We regularly find that our process of reading poetry aloud causes one or more of us to experience a poem anew. Sometimes it provides clarity that wasn't there when it was confined to the silence of the page. Sometimes it brings up questions. As always, we were grateful to have the trust of two amazing poets willing to share our discussion of their work. (We were going to call this episode “In Bed with Marion & Kathy” and we'll let you find out why by having a listen!)   At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Jason Schneiderman, Angelique Massey, Lisa Zerkle, Dagne Forrest, Vivian Liu (sound engineer) Martha Silano's six books include This One We Call Ours, winner of the 2023 Blue Lynx Poetry Prize, and available from Lynx House Press. She is also the author of Gravity Assist, Reckless Lovely, and The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception, all from Saturnalia Books. Martha's poems have appeared in Poetry, The Paris Review, American Poetry Review, The Missouri Review, and elsewhere. She enjoys birdwatching, botanizing, and hanging out with her kids and cats. Learn more about her work at marthasilano.net.   The Luck of It   What counts is that my car, when it gets broken into, what's gone  is replaceable, like that leather jacket my friend Alison threw at me  when she left for California. Please take it! (I got a new one for Christmas).   Once, when I left it unlocked, someone spent the night in my Hyundai.  All in all, I was happy to offer a place of refuge, especially on account  of nothing stolen, not the extra pair of socks, not my maroon hat or hand sani,    the only tip off being the empty bottle of Sprite. Sprite! I mean, you're kidding me. My husband jokes how I get so excited  about the crumb that drops on my plate from that giant chocolate croissant    in the sky, tells me I'm like a housefly with a tiny chunk of pizza  it can't believe it's had the good fortune to land on. And look! It's even got a little dab    of pepperoni juice! It seems I set the bar low,  and maybe he's right, though when I ran track,  the field part kind of scared me. In tenth grade, when Suzanne Glester    broke the state record in the high jump,  I could barely keep myself from looking away  as her contorted body landed in a heap on a thick mat    that never seemed thick enough. Honestly,  I'm just glad I'm not the guy on Next Door  who posted about the lonely chicken: I see her wandering around.    Seems like she need another little hen.  Do any of you have one you'd like to re-home?  Or the woman who shared someone's been racing their car    up Juneau. making a hair pin turn onto Seward Park Avenue.  It literally rattles our windows. I'm tempted to respond I feel your pain,  but having rattling windows means you live in a home? I guess what I'm trying to say    is that when two guys were about to kick in  our basement window, I happened to stroll by with a bag  of dirty Huggies for the bin. Yep, a load of dirty diapers saved us.  Jane Hilberry is just weeks into retirement after a happy 35-year teaching career at Colorado College that began with Medieval and Renaissance literature and ended up in Creativity & Innovation. So far retirement involves mostly sleeping and swimming, but she aspires to write poems, paint, and make small objects for sheer delight. Her books of poems include Still the Animals Enter and Body Painting (Red Hen Press) and a chapbook co-authored with her father, Conrad Hilberry, titled This Awkward Art:  Poems by a Father and Daughter (Mayapple Press). Paintings and small objects can be found on Instagram @jhilberry. I might have planned badly   My friends are ga-ga over their grandkids, over the moon!   Pictures on their phones of the toddler pushing the vacuum,  the dog sleeping wrapped around the child.     My god, I was driven.  I translated every word of Beowulf,  working out each noun's case ending, nominative, accusative, genitive,  dative, or a vestigial instrumental.  I spent my twenties    in a library carrel until 2 a.m. closing. I could regret it now,  but there was no stopping that one, whoever she was.  Baby, I'm going to be seventy soon, and eighty.    Coastal Cali   At the intersection, a stream of newly washed  Benzes and Bentleys.  A man in a camel coat surveys  a café patio:  "I'm dressed inappropriately,” he says. He's crew for Hollywood Medium.  Against the roar  of leaf blowers, Que tiempo hace hoy plays on someone's radio.  It's breezy, seventy-five.     Meanwhile, at the water,  surfers lift and fall, surge and sink.  The dark triangles  of their heads and shoulders move like fins  in undulating circles, till one rises, twists and vees,  rides the wave into a bloom of foam.     What is this world?  wrote Chaucer, What asketh man to have?  Xanax for the rough days.  I can't identify the flora— Yarrow?  Ice plant? —or remember the gods of the sea. Zephyr? Poseidon?  No one here calls it the sea.

The world is a lot, but then what's new? In this episode I wanted to share a few ways in which I am staying grounded this summer, including excellent book selection, gentle rituals and activism that is doable and kind on my nervous system. I hope it's a helpful space for you to think about your own summer and orient towards the pleasure & joy that is available to you.
