Winter Squash and Sweet Potato Medley by Anne-Marie Fryer

Winter Squash and Sweet Potato Medley
by Anne-Marie Fryer

These sweet vegetables are cooked for a long time with little water and a dash of salt. The salt, kombu and cooking method create a sweet, flavorful and strong dish. Many enjoy the peel of squash and sweet potato, so leave it on if it is tender, or use the peel in soup stocks.

2 cups winter squash cut in chunks
1 cup sweet potato cut in chunks
3 inches kombu (optional) cut into strips about 1/4 inch wide
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce

Place the squash and sweet potato in a pot on top of the kombu. Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Cover the pot, turn down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add tamari soy sauce, place the lid back on and gently shake the pot a couple of times. Simmer for 2 minutes.
If any liquid is left in the pot, take off the lid. Cook until all flavors and liquids are absorbed. Serve the kombu, seasoned with dashes of tamari soy sauce, with the squash and sweet potatoes.

Teleseminar with Lucretia Jones & Susun Weed

Adapting Infusions for Everyday Nourishment

Teleseminar with Lucretia Jones & Susun Weed
Thursday, September 15, 2022 at 9:00 PM Eastern

Let's face it, with the lives many of us lead, even the simple ritual of making nourishing herbal infusions can seem pretty daunting. Between weighing herbs, boiling water, waiting at least four hours, and then straining your brew, life must go on. Enjoying this nutrient dense beverage can be superseded by the constant pressures of daily life. In this chat, Lucretia and Susun will discuss the basics of making infusions, the herbs most often used (plus some out of the ordinary), creative uses and recipes with infusion herbs, and ways to incorporate them into your life no matter the circumstances. Whether you live in a city or a home on wheels, nourishing herbal infusions can be a foundational path to overall wellness.

Before Olympian gods, there were the Titanides [pronunced tee-tahn-EE-days]: Night, Gē who is Mother of the Gods, and many others.
We'll talk about buried Goddess traditions and the way they were rewritten with scripts of male domination; amazing Archaic art of the women's dance; Pythias, female oracles and priestesses; what lies beyond the mythologization of Amazons; and Greek witches and witch trials.

Standing at the Edge of the Void by Anné Klint

Standing at the Edge of the Void by Anné Klint.

 

 

This week's guest article on WiseWomanMentor.com is Standing at the Edge of the Void by Anné Klint.

 

"We are creating a new world, but there must be a death of the old first. And we won’t always be able to recognize where we are in the process cuz it’s messy AF. There have been and will be more tears. The old upside-down ways of power-over, domination, and coercion will not go without a fight, I can promise you that. But there is a way forward! We are all being called to create that right-side-up world in every moment, with every breath, with every glittery loving thought and word."

She is trained as an Herbalist, Naturalist, Nutritionist and Nature and Forest Therapy Guide. Additionally, Cat is a Youth Nature Connection Mentor, a practitioner of Non-violent Communication, and most recently received her Master's degree in Ecopsychology from Naropa University.
