R E A D Y to SAY.NO.MORE. • ••ready for the next challenge•• My New Years resolution this year was to do less, and to say “no” more, even when it’s uncomfortable—which for me is basically always. Lately that has meant a lot less social media, as the brooks on my mountain are engorged with melting snow and Australia burns and Puerto Rico trembles. • Tomorrow I start graduate school at Georgetown through a low residency program. In a year and a half I’ll be a primary care provider. Between now and then, it’s going to be a little crazy around here. I’m still parenting 2 littles and running the herbalism practice and school, plus occasionally nursing and living in a clean house surrounded by beautiful gardens, eating good homemade food and maintaining deep friendships. • • So this year, I will be doing less, and saying no a lot, and it’s not you, it’s me. Feel free to stop by. I’m still here, surrounded by pathophysiology textbooks.
It might be winter, but around here we are year-round herbalists. Join me for live online herbalism classes this winter! • The Art of Formulation is coming right up on January 25: learn to make effective, useful formulas the first time, every time. • There are more scheduled for February and March, link in profile to the schedule. Advanced registration required. BIPOC reparations scholarships available.
Herbal Book Review: new 3rd edition of the now classic <Herbal Medicine From the Heart of the Earth> • • <Heart of the Earth> is one of those herbals that sticks with you. Many herbalists of my generation see Dr. Tilgner’s classic as a foundational book in their journey. It is widely considered to be one of the most important fundamental herbals, and was in fact very first Herbal I owned. • • My mother bought it for me around 2002, after I fell down an irreversible rabbit hole with a Rosemary Gladstar book she got on a whim at the library to go with the plant ID book I had asked for. I learned to make tinctures from this book. To be clear, I went on to own a tincture company, then a private practice and herb school, so to say Tilgner’s work has been influential in my life is something of an understatement. Would I have learned to make tinctures without <Heart of the Earth>? Yes, of course—but I will always have that heartsqueeze of nostalgia when I see that cheerful bright yellow cover and think back to my early days learning about the magic of plant medicine among the weeds in my mother’s lawn. • <Heart of the Earth> is almost encyclopedic in its usefulness. Materia Medica, formulation, dosing, glossary of herbal actions: it’s all here. Both home herbalists and professional herbalists will find much to appreciate in this new addition. • Check out the full review on my website, and stay tuned for a giveaway featuring this book coming up soon! • #oldwaysherbal #herbalbookreview #bookreview #bookrelease #herbalism #clinicalherbalist #homeherbalist #communityherbalist #giveaway #herbschool #herbalism #stewardship #hikevermont #vermontfarm #forager #womenfarmers #womanownedbusiness #workingmom #nativespecies #diymom #gentleparenting #homestead #gardenwithkids #beherenow #slowliving #wildcrafting #myherbalstudies #herbalistsofinstagram
Stepping into the world enthusiastically: • may we all flourish as we grow towards the light of the new decade, manifesting well-being for each other and our planet in the coming era of unpredictable flux. • Health, peace, and a strong moral compass to guide us. • And yes, that’s a giraffe on snow shoes. Happy New Year, people.
A gentle snow & the best company: my kind of party to ring out the decade!
•just•so•thrilled• to review this new missive from herbalist extraordinaire Dr Sharol Tilgner! • • I learned to make tinctures from the 1st edition of this book in the early 2000s, so it‘s an incredible full circle to close out this decade critiquing the upcoming 3rd edition, to be released next month. • • If you want to read it too, <<stay tuned>> for a book giveaway in the new year! • #oldwaysherbal #bookrelease #bookreview #herbalism #clinicalherbalist #giveaway #herbschool #herbalism #stewardship #hikevermont #vermontfarm #forager #womenfarmers #womanownedbusiness #workingmom #nativespecies #diymom #gentleparenting #homestead #gardenwithkids #beherenow #slowliving #wildcrafting #myherbalstudies #herbalistsofinstagram
