  • Musing about Coyotes and Fingi

    2026/02/27

    It seems as though winter is not budging! I arrived in Toronto from South Africa, via Europe, in the 1970’s and I can truly say I have never experienced a winter as hard as this one. But, spring is coming! I am planning a bioenergy workshop for May 9/10. If you are interested in bioenergy healing or the workshop, please check my website or look further down in the newsletter for details about the workshop or one-on-one healing. I have… Read more »

  • Do Plants Communicate?

    2024/11/28

    Blog Post November 2024 Hi Everyone, It is amazing that it is already the end of November. Time is moving by very quickly for me right now. The weather has been so mild, I have been working on our garden right up to last week! And, I finally planted my garlic! Last month I showed you a picture of our blooming hibiscus. This month, we have an amazing amaryllis.   Do you eat pumpkin seeds? Last month, I came across… Read more »

  • Living in a Harmonious World

    2024/02/09

    Last December, John and I enjoyed a mini holiday in Quebec City. It’s an absolutely beautiful town. While there, we decided to explore the Museum of Civilization and saw two fascinating exhibits. One is concerned with ecology and the environment, and the other with Hip Hop music. I learned a tremendous amount from both, but the one I want to explore this month is the one on ecology – Our Time on Earth. The Barbican, an arts, learning, and conference… Read more »

  • My tree that I did not see

    2024/01/11

    Nature & Kindness Dear Readers, I hope this message finds you well and surrounded by the beauty of nature. As I settle into our new home, I’ve been fascinated by a magnificent Blue Spruce in our front yard that stands tall, embracing the essence of the great outdoors. Interestingly, our initial visits didn’t reveal its presence. I can’t help but feel that this tree, in its wisdom, guided us to this place without my husband or me seeing it. The… Read more »

  • Book cover: The signature of all things

    The Signature of all things – plants

    2023/09/15

    The Signature of all things is all about plants From Gilbert’s website, the tag line for the book is: “A glorious, sweeping novel of desire, ambition, and the thirst for knowledge.” Sounds about right. The book spans the fictional life of Alma Whittaker. Alma was born in the 1800’s to one of the wealthiest families in Philadelphia. Growing up surrounded by her family’s expansive estate, Alma becomes fascinated with botany. This is not surprising as her father, Henry Whittaker, made… Read more »

    the Beauty of Nature

    2023/05/10

    Welcome Spring and the Beauty of Nature In addition to welcoming Spring, several things came together for me last month. First, I began reading a book called Hagitude  by Sharon Blackie. (Fascinating book. I will discuss it in more detail another time.) Then I started listening to a number of talks given by Charles Eisenstein on Sacred Economics, the Next Five Years, and How the Environmental Movement Can Find Its Way Again. These all spoke to me in different ways. The one… Read more »

  • We are Nature.

    2023/01/02

    We are Nature. As I was saying goodbye to the old year and thinking about the new, I was reminded about our belief systems. What beliefs do I carry with me that I could strengthen to help improve my life and the lives of others? The obvious is my service as a healer, but I was searching for the not so obvious. My thoughts brought me to the idea that we are as much a part of nature as the… Read more »

  • Taking up Gardening

    2022/09/13

    Taking up Gardening This ancient proverb resonated with me as truth. When I read it, I thought that it just made sense. Working and nurturing plants help center me. They help me to be calm. In addition, it also got me to thinking why do we get so focused on spring and summer for gardening when it’s really a year-round event? Fall is the second busiest time for gardening The Toronto Botanical Gardens’ Blog What to Plant When… in Fall reminds us… Read more »

  • Forest Bathing

    2022/07/08

    Forest Bathing Two years ago, in my newsletter I encouraged you to live in harmony with nature in Survival of the Kindest and mentioned the health benefits of Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese Art of Forest Bathing. In the January issue of 2022, I once again encouraged you to practice forest bathing in my article about Finland, On Becoming the Happiest Country in the World. Now when a friend mentioned I should write about forest bathing last month, I decided it was time to dedicate… Read more »
