Our awareness and internal space is sacred and must remain sovereign. The use of technology needs to feel optional. It should be be something that brings you joy and adds to your experience rather than taking you out of it. The moment that your phone starts to detract from your lived experience is the moment to make a different choice. After all, digital communication should happen at the speed of life and not the other way around.
How in control are you of your smartphone use? Do you ever find yourself on your phone and forget why you even picked it up in the first place? Do you feel the urge to look at it every time you’re bored or have a moment to spare? I hate to say it, but I know I do. So why is it that we’ve become so dependent on our phones? And more importantly, what is it doing to us: emotionally, physically, socially, and neurologically? Technological Hygiene explores just how we got where we are today and how we can begin to find our way back to a healthy relationship with these small but powerful tools. Ultimately this is a roadmap, to show you the way back to using your phone rather than allowing it to use you.

Depression is the worst. And when you’re in the midst of it, it feels like it will never end. But it does. It always does. They say to write about what you know. And I know depression. I imagine you do too. It is deeply personal and yet totally universal. While each of us experiences it in ways that are unique, it is an ache that many of us know all too well. The hardest part for many of us is the unbearable sense of separateness that we experience. It is a separateness that alienates us, not only from the world around us, but from ourselves. When we are in this place, it can feel impossible to pull ourselves out. But it won’t last forever, I promise. And there are many thing we can do to shift our mood and our mindset for both the brighter and the better.
I wrote this guide to help myself, and to help you or someone you love. Because we are not alone in feeling overwhelmed by this life, or by the deep pain we see around us. And this sensitivity is a gift. It is a guide for cultivating resilience within your own inner ecosystem. Because the world needs you right now. It needs you to feel and to come alive, more than ever before. Complacency and depression are difficult to resist in an era when our nervous systems are overwhelmed by seemingly endless news of political and environmental collapse. We must remember that we too are a part of the world - the living body of the earth. And if we neglect to care for ourselves, then what chance do we really stand of tending to the outer world in any meaningful way?

Bathing can raise vitality, nourish the Heart, bring balance to all manner of ailments, and refresh the Spirit as deeply as it cleanses the physical body.

In this six page booklet, in addition to learning about specific practices for traditional and improvised healing baths, you will learn how to employ herbal infusions, flower essences, mineral salts, and crystals to deepen the restorative power of your bathwater. Trust us you'll feel the ripple effect.

an in-depth exploration of the medicine
and magic of a little-known plant ally
an in-depth exploration of the medicine
and magic of a little-known plant ally
Written in 2012 as my thesis at the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism, this is an in-depth forty page treatise on the little known and under-appreciate False Solomon's Seal, also called Solomon's Plume, [Smilacina racemosa]. Very little has been written in the last century about this plant.
While at first unsure of how I would fare, daring to write an entire thesis on a widely unknown plant, I, in fact, found this to be a boon to my research, for it led me to a deeper place of knowing the medicine through the use of my own heart and body rather than through the filter that may have existed had there been volumes written previously on its uses and indications.
Due to this absence of in depth research, I was inspired to offer the medicine of Solomon's Plume to whomever was willing to imbibe it and take the time to share their experience. Although this plant is little used today in Western Herbalism it has been widely employed in both Chinese and Native American Herbalism so it is not without historical precedence as a medicinal herb. No plant which speaks so clearly and with such great compassion, as does False Solomon's Seal, could possibly have gone entirely unnoticed by humans.
The manuscript is divided into the Magical and Medicinal uses of the herb (which, in reality are truly inseparable) and further categorized by body system or specific indication. Each section includes suggested formulas and preparations.
