So excited to adventure in this area which is a local favorite, within the next few days..
~
With the sad news that the location I've taught almost all of my previous workshops being now closed off to public access, I've narrowed it down to a few potential locations for future events...
🏞🌄🌊
-Ocean & Conifer Forest
-Mountain & Falls
-River & Conifer + Deciduous Forest
~
In the coming weeks and months you'll be able to harvest medicinal polypore mushrooms, nettles, all-you-can-pick Japanese Knotweed shoots, drink fresh filtered mountain stream water, soak up vitamin D from the sunshine on our workshop lunch break, and dip in some energizing cold water!
~
So despite the previous location chapter closing, there is lots to look forward to and many modalities you can enjoy and learn from very soon (Tri-Cities, Metro-Vancouver area) 📚🍄🌿👣🍓

People out in massive numbers, protesting Denmark's new proposed Vaccine Passports!

Where the forest meets the ocean. An ecological EDGE - we find in margins and edges of ecosystems is where there is a concentration of biodiversity, and a greater number of species (this is one of Permaculture's brilliant design principles)

Was fun yesterday to find not only some medicinal polypores, but also a small fruit distantly related to apple, taking advantage of the oceanic climate near a barren rock. With this species, you can find the fruits even in the winter, and 3 small ones can contain more vitamin C than a large orange!
~
I still need to find a few more species for demonstration in this area after another hike within the next week or so, and after that I'll be ready to host a small workshop here
~
If you are in #MetroVancouver would love to have you join our small group adventure, which is also accessible via transit for those who don't have a vehicle!

This is what happens when government and health authorities disconnect everyone from social support and families + shut down businesses in turn destroying income and jobs - mental health issues and drug overdoses SKYROCKET

NEW - Instagram to permanently ban users that send "hate speech" in their private Direct Messages, the social media platform announced. @disclosetv @disclosetv_chat

Observing the beauty of natural places can be a potent tool to cultivate gratitude, and induce the "relaxation response" which in the modern era is one major antidote to our hyper-connected and busy world ~ so I encourage you if you have the opportunity, get out and dip into the infinite well of healing and inspiration ⛲😌

A Shanghai fruit shop owner refused to allow his shop to be disinfected.

The local government authorities decided the best response was to destroy the entire shop's inventory of fresh produce.
