18. Come see my Reishi at Freight and Volume Gallery

If you've been following my newsletters, you know I've been studying herbalism as a way to expand my understanding of Healing and the practices/belief systems that surround it.  Herbalism acknowledges the interdependence of plants and humans and our need to respect that relationship for healing/health.  I've written about it extensively in my blog. 

I couldn't be happier to be included an exhibition that explores these ideas, opening this Saturday at Freight + Volume Gallery.  97 Allen St. New York, NY 10002

I would love to see you at the opening!!

subversive medicine, Reishi I, II and III

After choosing to "walk with" Reishi as an herbalist, this mushroom has worked its way into my life and work.  Reishi is known as the Mushroom of Immortality and has been used in Chinese medicine for over 4000 years.
