Morning Garment Meditation On this gift of a morn Morning Garment Meditation On this gift of a morning, I was sitting with my Grandfather, as I often do for an hour or so, as he ascends the ladder of the East to his place above us. Big long gulps of silence easily consumed me this morning as I lovingly gazed at the garden soil in front of me. Then, without really thinking about it, I fell into studying the weave of a garment. The elaborate knots and pearls and even more complex cables helixically torquing the whole of it together. It was a multidimensional map of reality. The fabric’s greater weave also reminded me of Celtic knots. Then my perception shifted and my mind kinda woke up as though from a dream and I realized I was still looking at the earth! She showed me that even a barren piece of ground is in fact the most elaborately woven gift fit for royalty (plants) to grow in and be nurtured by. Let us honour each step we place on this masterpiece and become an extension of the beauty. #morning #meditation #earth
Working on finishing up the 10 foot tall water tow Working on finishing up the 10 foot tall water tower at the timber frame, to generate water pressure without any electricity, thanks to @marktwt ! We started this last year at the building workshop. It will allow us to have passive running water and an outdoor shower! We’re looking forward to seeing this beauty standing. Mark is shown here hammering in the pegs that will hold the tower together. No nails! The water tank will hold 1000 litres of rain water, caught off the roof. #timberframe #naturalbuildings
Happy ferments! Two brews shown here on the go, a Happy ferments! Two brews shown here on the go, a couple more in the works. The dark one is a recipe from @pascalbaudar ‘s book The Wildcrafting brewer; Chaga beer. We like to make our version a bit denser, more medicine, so we use larger amounts of herbs and steep rather than simmer. So, this one is chaga, mugwort, willowbark and yarrow. We’ve made this incredible stout/root beer like flavoured beer a few times now and love it dearly. The second is a brew of our own, our spring tonic beer, made with whole dandelion plants(leaves/flowers/roots), whole yellow dock plant, burdock root, nettle aerial plant, ginger and lemon. Working on writing up a recipe for y’all. We used cane sugar and beer yeast, but we have made them both wild a wild yeast starter and had that turn out well too. Also have made beers with maple syrup, to make it fully local. #wildbrews #wildbeer #wildfermentation #herbalbeer #homebrewing
Dandelion root harvest. We cultivate the roots in Dandelion root harvest. We cultivate the roots in our gardens, which enables them to get large, having space. They’re also less branchy, so easier to harvest. One of the things we like to do with the fresh roots is make dandelion coffee. We have found the flavour far superior to coffee made with roots that are dried, then roasted, though if this is what you have to work with, it’s still tasty. We clean the roots in cold water, then chop them to fit on the Baking trays, then roast for 2 hours at 300. They basically end up a little like charcoal. We grind it up and simmer a tablespoon or so per couple of litres for a hour or more, to get a deep rich flavour you can drink on it’s own or with coffee, other roots, or make a chai! So many possibilities for this delicious creation. Check out the full recipe on our website, link in our bio. #dandelion #dandelioncoffee #herbalmedicine #roots #wildculturing #wildfood #wildedibles
