DEAR
FRIENDS
Greetings
from our woodland home and center nestled in a Balsam Fir forest
of the southern Adirondack Park. This land is home to bear and deer,
bobcat and coyote, snowshoe hare and others whose wild nature has
much to teach us of our own. So, too, do the native plants, some
at-risk, who set their roots in this soil; Lady Slipper, Trilliums,
American Ginseng and more hold a quiet presence, reminding us of
the intimate relationship humans indeed have with the Earth.
It
is from the teachings of the Wild that we continue to be inspired
and share with others. Here at Woodland Essence we offer courses
and workshops, providing others with a way to experience the magic
and deep healing that can take place in Nature. Through special
classes in flower essences, sacred plant medicine, herbal studies,
forest adventures, and more we hope to nurture a lasting awareness
and respect for all of life.
In
the workshops we spend most of our time outdoors in the gardens
and woods, fields and wetlands learning from the plants and the
environment. Something quite tender happens when we spend this kind
of quality time in nature. Our essence is bathed in a sweet silence
and an unspoken acceptance that nurtures our souls. We remember
ourselves and find peace and harmony in our hearts and minds. Through
gaining knowledge, expanding our souls, tending our spirits and
opening our hearts, we re-enter nature with the proper tools to
be human beings.
We
welcome you to our home and this land, to nurture your spirit as
you deepen your connection with the Earth and yourself. We hope
to see you soon!
Love
and Blessings from the Forest,
Kate
