Greetings
All
As we
approach the Summer Solstice -
the time when we feel the fiery
energy of the sun most
distinctly - may your own
passions for life and your inner
light be shining brightly as
well.
All around
us Nature is expressing its full
vibrancy and aliveness. Step
into it and enjoy !!
I am just
back from intensive training in
Vermont for Earth Spirit
Healing. Just as I have been
honored to work with Plant
Spirits for healing people, this
path is to work co-creatively
with the energies of the Earth
for healing the various aspects
of Nature. In response to all
the environmental ills and the
intense local gas drilling, my
passion leads me to do this work
of transmutation of toxins and
Earth healing.
So, at
this time, I will be taking a
sabbatical from my usual
teaching and healing work to
fully engage in this work of
Earth Spirit Healing. Our
scheduled classes here at Green
Heron Gardens are cancelled for
the remainder of this year. We
will continue to harvest herbs
and make our usual herbal
medicines, available to you
through phone and mail order.
Chuck and
I are excited to learn and
practice
Earth healing work. This
land and the plants and animals
and elements are always the
source of learning and healing
and growth for we who live here
and for you who come here.
As the drilling rigs and
tank trucks roar up and down
Indian Run Road, it seems most
important right now to protect
and heal this glorious piece of
Earth.
We are relieved to move
from victim to co-creator, where
our love and passion for all the
incredible Life here, can become
action, for the good of all our
relations.
Chuck and
I are continually blessed with
opportunity to serve Life. We
appreciate your understanding
and support.
We wish
you Light, Love and Laughter.

Romance and Chuck Lothes
