An Insights Course

 Wednesdays 3 PM ET, week of Jan 19 to week of Feb 15

The second class in the series, which may be taken in sequence or independently, will focus on ways in which our bodies and spirit correspond to fertilizing, pruning and fruiting. We also will explore how plants respond to positivity and healthy maintenance and how this relates to our own bodies and spirit. Tending a plant from seed to harvest, offering the Earth back Her ancestors through their ashes, is an olden practice. It brings our bodies back into communion with the dirt we stand upon and heals us mind, body and soul.
