The Importance of Community

As I age, I realize how important Community is.  I have been searching for "it" my entire life.  What I have learned recently is that it comes in many different forms like book clubs, game groups, friends, family etc.  I even find that I "group" products together that I think work well with  with each other

The Bliss Kit and the Flower Kit are the two most popular in the shoop.  They go together!!!

Meanwhile, community of other sorts - the people in my life.  I have siblings very close in age to me, thus we have always been a tribe.  I always seem to have a tribe of women friends wherever I live.  I am so lucky in this way.  More recently I visited The Farm, the oldest intentional community in the USA, and connected with the tribe I have so often longed for in my life.

This place hosts a bunch of folks who care about the land, the future generations, they love music and fun and they are environmentally focused.  I have not found that focus in hardly any place I have lived.

I was "taught" at MomsHead in Santa Rosa California.  A small little spot on the map that was an ecosystem of environmentallism.  I love love loved it.  I have created my own little MomsHead here at Medicine Woods and yearn to have others join me in this venture.  Here.  On this land.  I surely never thought I would be doing this by myself these 20 plus years.  Alas..........

Meanwhile I took a drive 5 or so hours west and south and came upon this magical The Farm.  A festival was taking place, Sanctuary Summit.  So many gentle souls from 5 months to 85.  Good food.  Incredible fire ceremony, music and energy that was nourishing and inspiring.  

I hope to create more community like this in my life in the future.  I will be travelling about, exploring all the many ways I can connect with peoples, plants, and all other beings.  

Meanwhile, enjoy this beautiful Spring.  I am about to harvest red clover blossoms for Mega Mineral Blend........more to follow.
