Water extracts are an easy and essential source of nutrition and holistic care. At last year's Medicines from the Earth Herb Symposium, Teresa Boardwine, owner of Green Comfort School of Herbal Medicine in Virginia, shared how herbal medicines delivered as teas are powerful allies that can correct imbalances, build vitality, and offer therapeutic results. As a registered herbalist, Teresa teaches how to formulate typical western herbal teas for each body system. Teresa and fellow herbal medicine practitioners will be speaking at this year's online Southwest Conference on Botanical Medicine (March 26-28, 2021) and the Medicines from the Earth Herb Symposium (June 4-7, 2021).

"I wanted to know, how did women have 13 children?.. How did people take care of their children when they fell down and broke their arms way back in the Middle Ages? People have had these things going on ever since the beginning of time and they've dealt with it.

Today we listen in on a class given by EagleSong Gardener at the 2018 Northwest Herb Symposium. She discusses everything from plant allies oatstraw and calendula to the questions that have driven her in lifelong learning.

ROOTED MEDICINE CIRCLE As herbs have become increasingly popular, the true heart of herbal medicine is at risk... Today there's a lot of emphasis on what herbs are "good for." Take turmeric for inflammation! Dandelion root for the liver! But when we reduce plants to a simple equation of "take xyz herb for xyz problem," the soul of herbal medicine is erased. Herbalism isn't about throwing back dropperfuls of a tincture. It's about transforming your life by becoming deeply rooted in the natural world, its seasonal rhythms, and your place within it. That's why we're excited to share Rooted Medicine Circle, a new course from my friends Rosalee de la Forêt and Emily Han. (You might know them as the best-selling authors of Wild Remedies and Alchemy of Herbs.) Rooted Medicine Circle guides you in how to make powerful herbal medicines while also strengthening your relationship with nature. Instead of buying supplements off the shelf, you'll be working directly with the plants to create herbal medicines uniquely suited to your preferences. As you learn core medicine making skills, you'll fill your home apothecary with effective remedies and nourishing foods, like locally sourced bitters for digestion; salves and ointments to nourish your skin; and potent tinctures, teas, syrups, and more. Rooted Medicine Circle opens just once a year, and it's now open for enrollment. Check it out here. On the Rooted Medicine Circle enrollment page, Rosalee and Emily also included an extensive sample from the course! It's a tutorial on making teas and decoctions and includes a reference chart to show you how to make teas with over 100 common plants. Even if this course isn't right for you right now, you'll get a lot out of this sample lesson! Click here to check out the course and get your sample lesson.

I worked in the restaurant industry until COVID, and 7 months into my furlough, I found Plant Spirit Healing by Pam Montgomery on my shelf (it was one of those books that I had bought and just never read). By the third chapter, I had begun researching herbalism, and after an overwhelming amount of information + options, the universe aligned me with your school. I enrolled, and a month later I officially quit my restaurant job, and last week I started working on a small farm in Bellville, where my focus will be the herb garden + greenhouse. I cannot thank you enough for the knowledge and time that you've put into your courses, and just your life's work in general. Everything that has happened in my life since discovering herbalism + you + your school feels like it's been divinely guided. So, thank you thank you thank you. You are the coolest, and I am forever grateful."

On today's special episode, join the talented Johanna Warren near her home in Wales for a private concert. Enjoy her plant-inspired lyrics as she is surrounded by the sounds of the forest. Johanna recently lent her voice to Netflix series 'The Midnight Gospel' and released her fifth solo album Chaotic Good on Carpark Records. Beyond her musical artistry, Johanna is a mystic, herbalist, Reiki Master, and advocate for the healing powers of Nature. For more from Johanna, catch her upcoming livestream concert on October 1. Tickets on sale now! "I've been thinking of life as one big roleplaying game," Johanna Warren offers when asked why she chose to title her new album after a Dungeons & Dragons reference. "There's chance, there's choice, and there's alignment—what forces in the universe do I choose to align myself with?" Chaotic Good is Warren's fifth full-length album and first for Wax Nine/Carpark Records. It represents a moment of rupture in the singer-songwriter's career as she transitions away from the quiet, folk-adjacent work that defined her early solo albums with a bold statement piece that demonstrates the breadth of her ambition. Here, Warren flits between crushing admissions set to spare piano solos and muscular declarations of independence that have more in common with grunge acts of bygone years than anything we've heard from Warren in the past. "The last few years I've had an urge to change my name, or create some alter-ego," she says. "But I've come to realize that 'Johanna' is already just a character. We think we know who we are based on what's already happened, but we're allowed to make new choices." The oceanic, soothing single "Bed of Nails" illustrates that realization perfectly when Warren sings: "I tried a little bit too hard to be myself/It turned me into something else." Recording Chaotic Good was an exercise in self-reinvention. Warren decided to produce the album on her own, borrowing recording equipment from a friend to do much of the preliminary tracking alone in a garage. She enlisted a few key collaborators to fully enliven her vision, most notably former Sticklips bandmates Chris St. Hilaire and Jim Bertini. On the raucously resilient "Part of It," Warren is joined by her musical brethren as she addresses a noncommittal narcissist and—a trademark of Warren's work—the narrator's complicity in her own suffering: "Don't look at me like I'm the one holding you back/and I won't look at you like you have something I lack." Adding to the album's dynamism is the fact that it took shape over the course of four years in studios across the United States while Warren was touring her most recent albums Gemini I and II. Warren uses words like "patchwork" and "scrapbook" to describe Chaotic Good; it is a collection of sonic snapshots that transport her to specific places in time with each listen. "This album is about learning how to be with myself after a lifetime of codependent relationships," Warren says. You can hear that especially well on "Twisted," which finds her confronting a former lover, and ultimately, letting them go. "I'm a warrior, but I give up," Warren howls, the surrounding production warping and distorting as her raw vocal crests to an acidic scream. Though her lyrics are resigned, her delivery is anything but. It is a moment of total abandon, when the multitudinous aspects of a personality coalesce to form something at once dazzling and monstrous. "Chaotic Good is a metamorphosis," Warren says. "It's my phoenix moment. Everything I've done before was just building the funeral pyre." Johanna Warren is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who began her career as a singer/songwriter in the Brooklyn-based psych folk band Sticklips. The group released two albums before disbanding in 2012, and after a stint performing backup vocals for Iron & Wine, Warren self-released her debut solo album, Fates, in 2013. The album prompted her to tour nationally under her own name, and since then, she's led a nomadic existence, calling cities across the United States home for short periods of time. Over the past few years, Warren has toured alongside Mitski, Julie Byrne, and Marissa Nadler, but a life on the road hasn't slowed her output. In 2015, she released her sophomore album nūmūn to acclaim, propelling her to the forefront of artists to watch in the second half of the decade. Warren dedicated the spellbinding collection of acoustically-driven songs to the phases of the moon and to the divine feminine — forces of great power and consequence that are all-too often overlooked. The following year, Warren announced a twin set of albums released on her own label Spirit House, which promoted a radically inclusive, artist-friendly ethos. Each of the songs on Gemini I corresponds with a song on Gemini II, which debuted later, in 2018. The two albums are in conversation with one another, offering up a character sketch of dueling personalities vying for acceptance. To contrast nūmūn, which was rende
