In recent decades, people’s separation from the natural world has gotten more severe, and thus we have become a sicker society that has forgotten how to turn to earth to heal. In the Appalachian region, we are surrounded by a wealth of support. The plant allies in our midst have been used faithfully for centuries to sooth our nerves, heal our guts, boost our immune systems, strengthen our hearts, purify our bodies, and more. The intuitive way that these plants were first worked with points to a spiritual way of approaching healing/health. To listen to your body, believe in its capacities, and call upon the gifts of the natural world you are a part of is indeed spiritual, and powerful. Especially so when eating foods that are nourishing and not damaging as well. We hope to help cultivate the innate way that the “hillfolk” – the mountain people in our region - worked with herbs and had a hands-on relationship to producing food. And furthermore, to strive for the spiritual wisdom that the Cherokee embodied in their relationship to earth. Ultimately, our desire is to learn together how to thrive as humans, experience vitality, and be in right relationship with the land. And give thanks.
