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

In today's episode, Suzanne Tabert from the Cedar Mountain Herb School goes in depth on one of the northwest's most ubiquitous trees, the Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)! She covers harvesting, preparations, parts used, and there's even some story-telling. Enjoy! A message from Suzanne: When I started teaching herbal workshops and programs more than 30 years ago, I was simply overwhelmed. I was incredibly excited, of course, but I had so many questions. Am I doing this right? Am I really ready to be teaching others? How do I make sure I'm making a positive impact on my students? There wasn't anyone near to mentor me. I was on my own. In my decades in this industry, I've amassed a huge amount of knowledge not only about herbalism, but about teaching, building a business, bringing in students who are as passionate about plants as I am, and so much more. I taught myself how to teach, and lots of mistakes were made. Through all the trial-and-error, I came out on the other side an excellent herbalist, teacher, and business owner. However, I always wished I had had someone to show me the way. Now that I've made it to where I am today, I have made it my mission to help others with their own journeys. I, like many of you, have found my calling in spreading my passion for plants and herbs to others! And I am ready to help you do the same. If you feel the pull to craft your own herbal workshops and programs and build a successful herb school, this is your time to do it! I have put together the be-all-end-all of training programs this year to take you every step of the way through that process. So, what are you waiting for? Program size is very limited.

Hi Herbalists! Feeling restless? We heard that school teachers are reading books aloud online to their students at home while we wait out the flu pandemic. Maybe the grown people could use this kind of diversion, too. We're calling this an "Herbal Story Moment". Heather ran across this excerpt from the "The Perfume Vendor" in a Jeanne Rose book. The perfume vendor was actually written by a fourteen year old author in 1935, and this is just one little slice. We think you'll recognize some of the plants, and maybe even relate to the perfume vendor, Ben Neroli. If you'd like to participate in an Herbal Story Moment by reading an excerpt from one of your books or blogs posts, feel free to reach out!
