The Season of Letting Go Through Gratitude
Lung energy is strongest in the autumn, and it is associated with the emotions of loss and grief, as well as the idea of "letting go" and becoming receptive to new initiatives, relationships, and ways of thinking.
Although it can be challenging, we can begin to let go of sadness and grief through gratitude.
Gratitude holds an important role this time of year.
"Gratitude is not about ignoring the negative. It is about accentuating the positive" - Barbara Suever
Take a few moments today to write down three things you're thankful for this holiday season. We'll take the lead!
Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude
We're grateful to all of the students we have had the pleasure of teaching this year. From those in our Budding Herbalist Program to those who attend our in-person classes and online classes. Thank you.
We are grateful to the plants for guiding and teaching us on a daily basis.
We're grateful for our community, those we have the pleasure of meeting online and in person.
Now it's your turn! Create a mental gratitude list, write it down, or share it with us; we'd love to hear what you're grateful for!

Living with the Seasons
We are nature, and connecting with the natural world around us helps to increase our health and happiness. Living in harmony with the seasons is a wonderful way to rebuild that connection.
Our Budding Herbalist program was created to teach people how to reconnect with plants, nature, and themselves.
“This is incredible class, with a great teacher. What was such a delight about this class was that I was able to implement so many things I learned each week into my daily life. Some subjects that I’m familiar with, I had not been practicing so I was able to re-introduce these valuable practices back into my daily life. Gina is a wonderful teacher, (I’m a lifelong learner, with many teachers over the years), and I’m a teacher. Gina thank you for your lifelong learning of these wonderful valuable practices and your wiliness to share them.
This is a class that is invaluable to our planet, and to us human’s moving forward. I believe we need to get back to some ancient knowledge, that’s been placed aside in our culture. Our children would greatly benefit from this knowledge. I will be back for your next class! ”
