“All that we see, everything that is growin’ in the earth is healin’ to the nation of any kind of disease.” — Emma Dupree, herbalist and traditional healer of North Carolina.
Today is Earth Day. A formally recognized day to express gratitude towards this planet we call home. But it feels especially crucial to say more than Thank You. Maybe an “I’m sorry” should be spoken, and acted upon. You likely know that the earth and it’s many species aren’t doing so great right now, and it’s a real heartbreak, but we cannot turn our backs on the truth. Much of what we do at Wildcraft is to encourage working in reciprocity with the environment- taking only what is needed, and ensuring there is plenty left. Using nontoxic, natural and local ingredients as much as possible, using them wisely, and educating others on how to braid this method into their everyday lives. It means thinking and considering and being mindful of our steps when we go outside. It means regarding other life forms - whether plant, animal, insect or mineral - as an individual amongst a whole. When we learn how to make things, craft our own goods, mend, heal, and tread with reverence, we put a tiny dent into the cycle of ceaseless consumption, as well as give back to a planet that’s being effectively robbed. Every little bit counts- and every big bit counts too. And lots of little bits can create something big. Something that can change everything.
Happy Earth Day, friends

Once I was at the Natural Sisters cafe in Joshua Tree and there were these two 20-year-old hippie yoga girls in line in front of me. One of them declared passionately to her friend, "We live on the most beautiful planet of ANY galaxy." Her total conviction, despite the fact that none of us have been to any other planet, let alone any other galaxy, made me smile. And too, I'm inclined to agree. Our planet is so beautiful. We are so lucky. And we are PART of this great and glorious being. Born of her. Made of her. Magical people of the world, our mother Gaia is in danger. We must rally to protect her. .⠀

I feel so lucky that my job requires me to get outside in nature every day and enjoy feeling the wind in my face and (sometimes) the sun on my skin! ☀️ I can’t imagine not having this luxury, so let’s make sure that we do everything we can to preserve the natural beauty of Earth.
For those of you who work inside most of the day, make the time to get outside today and every day to enjoy this amazing place we call home. #earthday2019
