Last month we returned to the incredible @bluebirdhill_homestead with this year’s #openhearthpdc group and were greeted warmly by Heidi, Jonathan and their daughters Maya, Maggie and Scarlet. We helped with the creation of hugelkultur inspired garden beds for the girls to plant their herbs and veggies in.
Heidi is a passionate mother, mentor and community connector as she started a homeschool coop in their area and currently leads nature immersion camps for kids. Her work draws from the teachings of permaculture, the Art of Mentoring and the deep and beautiful knowing of the importance living a life closely connected to the land in a physical, emotional and spiritual sense, as her family works to build their home bit by bit. We are so grateful to have Heidi as a partner for this program and we continue to learn so much from her journey and process.
Sharri Keller is one of our co-creators for the day long▫️Sacred Earth Retreat▫️on Saturday, June 23rd.

About the workshop: “Inherited patterns create powerful unconscious compulsions. In this class we will skim the surface of ways in which we can dive deeper into this very important work as well as gain a basic understanding of what ancestral healing consists of. We will discuss herbs and flower essences to support this journey of honoring and restoring ourselves thus liberating our children and future generations.”

Our co-teacher, designer and herbalist Megan Rae @natura.north has an flower essences series coming up.
From Megan: “Excited to be involved in an upcoming series this summer in collaboration with Rachel Nudd & Amy Jensen at the beautiful Will Heal Farm. Flower essences were my first introduction into plant medicine, as I was gifted my first unique healing blend from a woman in the rainforest & red earth lands of northern Argentina. I had no idea what I was getting into then, only that I was being guided to this magic in a deep and profound way. This series is meant to guide and empower you through the process of connecting with plant spirits, making your own flower essence medicine and connecting with your body to better align with what the plants have to communicate. We hope you can join us! Sign ups are on the Will Heal Farm event page and as always, please reach out with any questions 🌸🌷🌹”
Armel Martin sharing with our Open Hearth PDC group about his incredible work with New City Backyard Farms in partnership with New City Church. From the website: “New City Backyard Farms uses the power of backyard farming to build healthy livelihoods and nourish the neighborhood. We raise and connect a cooperative network of farmer neighbors in the Phillips, Powderhorn, and Central community. By growing what we grow best, right in our yards, we believe that we can not only feed each other, but also create economic prosperity to build a healthy, diverse, and welcoming neighborhood for all.”
Armel participated in our #openhearthpdc program last year and we love staying connected with our past apprentices as they take their PDC projects to the implementation stage as teachers, artists, business owners and earth stewards in the community.
