Working on my first semi-weekly herbal journal! This practice should prompt me to prioritize and refine my learnings while producing informative posts. <3

The herb school I'm attending opened up student clinical herbalist consultations if anyone is interested! #herbalism #herbalist #herbs
An advanced mentorship clinical student will do the consultation, it's 90 minutes. The mentors support them, so you get full support and correct recommendations.

It's $50 which is extremely low for this level of care.

I've been wanting to get with a clinical herbalist for a while, but couldn't afford it (normally $100-$150 for a session), so pls send this to anyone who's been interested but isn't able to access!

Hidden Lotus Herbs is getting ready to move to our new #farm site and really ramp up our operations!

For some backstory,
I was the recipient of a fund from @coop to start a worker-owned #cooperative and decided to make it an herbal apothecary!

We've been operational for around six months and are now starting our regenerative agroecological farm and increasing the capacity of our free clinic.

However, the #renewableenergy systems we're building are more expensive than we budgeted for, and we could use some help getting the farm and clinic going financially.

We're really needing help from our community to make all this cool stuff happen!

If you can spare some $, please consider supporting our transition and future. If you can't, please share far and wide!

Thanks <3

FINALLY, the book that reignited my love for reading fiction!

I have been searching and trying for you for so long. I'm incredibly appreciative of this author and this tale!

I have gone 10 years unable to read fiction. My imagination had decayed, my mindscape blank and serious. My reading was confined to intense political theory and psychological self-help.

No longer! I've been freed 💚

I highly recommend this novel to any fantasy fan. Just know, it is a trilogy that will likely never receive its final book.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
