1996: Class Time
The apprentices attend all of my classes with me, whether away from or at home. This photo is from a class at the Wise Woman Center. Starting from me (headband in front on the left) and going in a clockwise direction, we have: McKenzie (139), then a lovely lady, then Ursula, with bandana, and then I don't know who else. If you recognize yourself, please let me know.
1996: Under the Linden Tree
There is a large linden (Tillia) tree overhanging the deck where we gather, where we eat, where we meet for rituals, where we sometimes have class. You can see her large leaves in this photo of three apprentice sisters. That's Heidi-Sioux (145) in the middle, spreading joy. And maybe Carol and Holly with her. Please note that an herbalist cannot have too many baskets.
1997: Trance Time
Journey with us to the heart of the earth. Follow the beat of the drum. Even the goats have settled down. Breathe slowly and easily. Relax. The first face on the left is Tony/a's (144). She runs an herbal school, mothers an incredible daughter, teaches herbal medicine and I don't know what else. The herbs she brought back for me from her visit home to Greece still hang on my kitchen wall. Love you; hope our paths cross soon. Is that Lora behind the sunglasses? It is, for sure, Kahla (138) next to me wearing a hat. She also runs an herbal school and teaches herbal medicine (brilliantly). Love you too. I am uncertain about the four women on the other side of me, except for Caraway (140) in the striped shirt.
