The Sacred Gardener School is for those inspired t

The Sacred Gardener School is for those inspired to move into a deeper level of being; to live in a connected, sustainable and soulfully present way with the Earth.

The school will foster your growth over time, enabling you to embody the living skills and ceremony needed to engage the larger spirit and ecology of the Earth, so She may bless and redirect our collective and personal path.

Many pieces must be in place for these teachings to unfold within us. To move into this deeper sacred space and then to be able to carry the knowledge in our life, takes years of personal work, a supportive community and guidance from elders who have gone through the transformation. The continuance of the Sacred Gardener School will afford our soul these gifts.

The School and land Herself give students safety and nourishment to grow into a thick grape vine, that flows up, through and over the spiny armature of our life, bringing beauty and bearing heavy fruit.

We feel that it's deeply important to support what we believe in, and one of those ways is to donate money.

In Toronto, there is a free street clinic run by Cathy Zhoong D'eh Kwe (Strong Hearted Woman), Giwaabamin Street Patrol. The need for her services is incredible, and should be publicaly funded. It's not, so she relies heavily on the generosity of the extended community to support the clinic. Offering herbal care for homeless folks should be considered an essential service; so many have chronic, often multiple health issues that can't be well or fully cared for by our public health care system, not to mention the need for culturally sensitive, integrated care.

From her gofundme:

Cathy founded Giwaabamin because even while the number of natives experiencing houselessness was overrepresented, the number of native workers was very low. She saw the need to bring Indigenous representation to community-based healthcare that was also inclusive of traditional medicines and ceremonies. Though Giwabaamin is still focused on supporting Indigenous community members, the program has expanded to include all street-involved folks. Throughout the pandemic, Cathy has been visiting encampments, COVID hotels, and people's homes to drop off care packages and medicines. Giwaabamin was run out of pocket by Cathy, with additional support from community donations like clothing, food and apothecary supplies and herbal supplies. Through Giwaabamin, Cathy offers free medicine, hot food, artisan teas, hospital aftercare, immune support, covid and wound care, and now Accudetox. She also firmly believes in using herbs to support those in active use or while they are in recovery. The clinic provides clients with the healthcare they want and need, free from racism, judgment or classist biases, with values heavily rooted in harm reduction.

Consider offering what you can to support.

"I love to watch a field as it grows back in as it

"I love to watch a field as it grows back in as it’s healed by the plants.

I’ve learned most of what I know about polyculture by watching field’s natural successions, as they slowly move over time, from grassland to hardwood forest.

The land regenerates with successive healers in the form of plants. Each plant has a time and place in this healing process. It’s such a beautiful thing to see this procession through the years, a glorious green parade of healers. It’s amazing to think that some people think of these gifts as noxious “weeds”.

The herbs and pioneer trees in these clearings come by many means. They come by the wind, birds and rodents, ungulates and predators.

Many plants were also spread from domestic farm animals, both wittingly and unwittingly brought, as an essential part of the settler’s existence."

-From "The Story of the Madawaska Forest Garden" by Steven Martyn
