ByRegion Healers Newsletter - Featuring Susun Weed

http://www.byregion.net/newsletters/Newsletter310.htm

The new issue of ByRegion Healer's Newsletter is now out!  Included in this issue is Herbal Ally - Now Remember Rosemary.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is an especially aromatic member of the mint family. When grown in dry, poor soils in hot areas, a little protected, but touched by the winds, rosemary rewards us with minerals, vitamins, and antiseptic, antibacterial volatile oils which extract easily into water, vinegar, alcohol, and fat. While evergreen, and thus usable at any time of the year, rosemary is considered most medicinal when flowering. A large pinch of dried rosemary in food acts as a preservative. A strong brew of the fresh or dried leaves makes a particularly effective wound wash. ....  Read more here: ByRegion

Things We Don’t Talk About: Woman’s Stories from the Red Tent

Things We Don’t Talk About: Woman’s Stories from the Red Tent

A groundbreaking 72-minute documentary film by award winning filmmaker Isadora Gabrielle Leidenfrost, PhD. Spontaneous and organic, a Red Tent is a red textile space where women gather to rest, renew, and often share deep and powerful stories about their lives.

The Red Tent movement is changing the way that women interact and support each other by providing a place that honors and celebrates women, and by enabling open conversations about the things that women don’t want to talk about in other venues.

Things We Don’t Talk About weaves together healing narratives from inside the Red Tent to shine a spotlight on this vital, emergent women’s tradition. The film provides us an opportunity to remember, to listen, to know, and to find what it is we need to bring back to our communities to help awaken the voices of women.

Susun Weed interviews life coach Britt Bolnick

In the process of working with her own coach, Britt Bolnick found a passion for the amazingly transformational power of life coaching.

The incredible impact on her own life has been so extraordinary that she was moved by an intense desire to bring the work to other women, with the goal of sharing its power to create a space for heart-centered, authentic connection to self, and to nurture and spread her personal belief in living a joyful, meaningful life.

Britt needed to share with women that we don't have to spend our lives putting everyone else's needs first, stretching ourselves to the edge of overwhelm and breakdown, living beyond our needs in scarcity, and without time for self-care and nurturing. To this end, Britt created In Arms Coaching which will serve you in whatever way you need it to at this moment in your life.

Britt has an M.Ed. with a concentration in adult education and have taught adults for over 10 years in a variety of settings. In September '08 she was certified as a parent educator in the nationally popular Nurturing Parents program. Her education in life coaching is ongoing in a variety of exciting ways.

Nutmeg Milk by Rosalee de la Forêt

Nutmeg Milk by Rosalee de la Forêt

There are so many ways to learn about herbs and many different methods to organizing herbal information. Sometimes we learn herbs by herbal actions such as nourishing herbs or stimulating herbs. Other times we might memorize which herbs are good for which condition.

In herbalism there is a long tradition of learning herbs by how they taste. If an herb tastes pungent, sour, sweet, salty or bitter then it gives us an idea on how we can use that herb.

Developing your sense of taste is a powerful way to connect to plants!

This herbal recipe is an exploration of the pungent taste.

Nutmeg milk is a classic bed time drink to help induce a deep slumber. Nutmeg is a wonderful relaxing nervine. It is commonly used in sweet treats as it has a delicious and spicy taste. Nutmeg is safe to use in small amounts (like the recipe below), but shouldn’t be taken in large doses. If you take a bit too much you’ll feel groggy the next day. Take waaaay too much (like an ounce) and you’ll get a nasty reaction or sort of high that teenagers try once in a while, which then makes the headline news. Nutmeg isn’t dangerous, just pay attention to the dose!

Nutmeg is, by far, best when freshly ground. You can buy special grinders for nutmeg; I just use the smallest grind of a cheese grater. Once it is ground it loses its oomph rather quickly (within days) so it’s best to just grind as much as you need from whole nutmeg rather than buying it pre-powdered.

The following recipe is part of the upcoming Taste of Herbs Course.  

What you’ll need...

8 ounces of warmed milk or milk substitute
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon of rose water (optional)
honey to taste

Warm the milk gently, being careful not to scald it. Once warmed, add the nutmeg and let it sit for five minutes covered.

Add the rose water and honey. Stir well.

Drink 1-2 hours before bedtime.

This recipe is an excerpt from the upcoming course, Taste of Herbs. Taste is an amazing way to learn HOW herbs work.
