    Desert Medicine Plant Hike - Mojave Desert TBA

    Desert Medicine Plant Hike - Mojave Desert TBA

    I’ve been asked to teach a series of classes on Plant Identification on desert plants, ethical wildcrafting and medicine making as well as teaching a medicine making workshop at my friends amazing High-Desert nursery - Cactus Mart  in Morongo Valley. So I’ve been busy organizing these classes as well as scouting for other areas to take folks for a plant hike. Each hike will start with a short plant meditation working an infusion made with a local medicinal desert plant. Meet

    Merry Yule Tidings - Winter Solstice from Jtree.

    As the sun moves into Capricorn it is symbolic of a new year is fast approaching. We are reminded to pause and reflect. Checking in with ourselves and asking ourselves "are we where we want to be? "Are we doing what we ought and want to do?" We can take clues from Mother Earth on what we should be focusing our attention and energy on. As it is winter the trees are bare, the leaves have fallen in autumn, the critters are in hibernation. All of nature is slowing down, so taking

    Ethically Wildcrafting

    I wanted to share with folks who have interest in gathering resin from trees but haven't any experience on how to gather resin from trees. The way I go about gathering resin for medicine making is first by connecting with the tree, sitting with the tree, touching her branches and her needles, her trunk before I start to look. I ask permission before I begin to gather and offer blessing herbs. Offering a gift of appreciation and gratitude for their medicine by offering either

    Desert Medicine

    A little vid that someone special made for me that embraces what Every Leaf Speaks is about. Ethically wildcrafting, Re-Wilding, medicine making, connecting to Mother Earth, my continuous study of the plants and their medicine. Living in the High Desert of the Mojave Desert in Joshua Tree, I find an abundance of medicine here. Many plants who's medicine is overlooked. As a family herbalist, I continue my path by studying the plants, learning to identify and work with these me
