#RockportME - Make Your Own #PersonalCareProducts Workshop

April 1 @ 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM

"Clinical #Herbalist #PatHarpell will lead a workshop at the #RockportPublicLibrary, teaching participants how to create their own personal care products. This free class, on Wednesday, April 1, at 1 p.m., is part of the Library’s 'Let’s Feel Better in 2026' series.

"Harpell emphasizes that personal care products are simple to make and free from the chemicals found in most store-bought products. During the workshop, participants will learn to make an all-natural lotion and facial cleanser using ingredients that are safe enough to consume. Attendees will take home their creations and receive instructions for making #LipBalm, #shampoo, hair rinse, and more.

"Harpell’s interest in skin care products originated from her research as a clinical herbalist. She encountered persistent, chronic conditions that resisted treatment from both modern and alternative medicine. This experience led her to advocate that the ingredients applied to the skin are just as important to consider as those put into the body. Harpell encourages participants to embrace this knowledge and host personal care product-making parties at home.

"The 90-min. program has a limited capacity of 16 participants. Interested individuals can register by calling the Rockport Library at 207-236-3642."

The Irreplaceable Gift of a True Friend

The most profound thing about having a true friend is the gift of a safe harbor for the nascent self. It's the secure space where the most tender and monumental aspects of your inner world can be expressed without fear of judgment, skepticism, or premature dismissal. Think of those things that are currently bursting inside of you—the exhilarating, often terrifying, stirrings of a future yet to be built. These are the new possibilities, new ideas, and new dreams that are too fragile, too […]

You Are A Lier!! 😡

I can make up stories.I can make up lies. I can scream them from the tallest tree in the sky. I want attention, wont you look at me,Way way way up here in the tree. I yell and yak, I make a lot of noise. I lack common decency and was not taught poise. My neighbors hate me, they say my voice annoys. But what is life, if not filled with joys. I hide in disguise, you'll never see my face.You will never know my exact place. Amongst the trees, way up high in the sky,I make up lies and tell all […]

I finally made it to Three Sisters Apothecary in Penngrove, CA! I’ve been using their body butters at work for cupping and Gua Sha for years. The shop was so cute and witchy.

I felt cute and witchy so here’s me in front of the store. #WitchLife #ThreeSistersApothecary #HerbNerd #Herbalist

Black and White

The imagination of a child is like no other. Tiny minds filtering the words information and just trying to make since of it. They grow and shape each and everyday, with a number of factors contributing. It's facilitating as a parent to witness your children navigate the struggles and obstacles of life, ultimately learning how to be self sufficient. A view that is often bitter sweet. As a parent there are many times that we see the exact moment of realization often followed by a long […]

The Planet’s Most Underappreciated Substance: A Detailed Look at Mud

Dirt, Water and Life Mud- the rudimentary inventiom of adding water to dirt to create a sticky, dynamic medium. A substance not only for building childhood memories but a cornerstone of civilization that has shaped landscapes, provided shelter and continues to be an unsung hero of the global carbon cycle. The Geological and Chemical Anatomy of Mud Dirt + Water = Mud, simple right? Not exactly. Geologically, mud is defined as a mixture of silt, clay, and/or loam combined with water. […]

#PTSD #Trauma #herbalmedicine #solidarity #elearning #NoBorders #activism
A trusted friend and comrade from the UK asked me to spread the word about her course solidarityapothecary.org/herba…
She is a certified #herbalist, working for years to help migrants, prisoners and activists with remedies they need. If you heard about #SolidarityApothecary in Calais, it's her.

Now, she just became a single mother and, apart from meagre social money, her courses are the source both of her sustenance and funding for her activism.

I recommend her in full and I believe that every community needs at least one person trained in herbalism, starting from the area of (c)PTSD and trauma recovery.

So, go enroll! The price is on the sliding scale, so nobody will be barred from the knowledge due to the lack of money.
