The Woodpecker’s Gift


Hello Reader,

I’m curious…

What is your love language when you think of Mother Earth?

Do you talk to her?

Sing her a love ballad?

Do you tend your garden, hug trees, lie in the grass…float in a pond?

Do you simply drink herbal tea?

If you’re reading this email, I know you love the world of nature in your own unique way.

For Krista Nelson, a Lenape grandmother and teacher, her love language of nature stems from indigenous traditions that have been here for thousands of years.

🌱 She plays her flute while the wild grasses sway to the music.

🌱 She listens to the water as it dances along the creek bed.

🌱 She shares her heart through the language of the Lenape.

And teaches us Lenape lifeways through story, movement, and connection to nature.

Join Krista on Tuesday, June 16, for a special offering to nature…

BotanicWise

BotanicWise was founded by Charis Lindrooth with the intention of providing a forum where plant wisdom can be shared and where like-minded people can connect and build a community to steward land, medicinal plants, and supportive relationships with each other. Inspired by the work of Rosemary Gladstar, David Winston, United Plant Savers, and many internationally acclaimed teachers and organizations in the herbal renaissance, BotanicWise strives to create space for land and plant stewardship, with an inner mission to cultivate alliances between plants and people, and between people and people. We are grateful for all who participate in this expanding green movement that invites perspective on the transformation of modern health and health care in this country.

Hello Reader, For thousands of years, the Lenape people thrived across the regions now known as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and New York. Through the study of these hidden histories, Krista Nelson had the privilege of learning and teaching Lenape through the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, a community of descendants who have historically had to hide in plain sight. Their rich culture, long hidden, is a story of resilience and renewal. We’re excited to announce that Krista Nelson will...

Hello Reader, Plants have long been our teachers in the healing arts. In this workshop, we explore another way they speak to us, through line, pigment, and paper, remembering that art and healing are simply two languages for the same relationship. Rooted in Tony(a)’s philosophy of Art that Breathes, this four-session workshop invites herbalists, plant lovers, and creative seekers to engage with plants not only as remedies, but as creative companions. Through simple creative practices, the...
