The Community Food Forest at Leslie Park
The Community Food Forest at Leslie Park is a public food forest community resilience brought forth by a diverse coalition of Ann Arbor residents from all across the city. True Earth is very proud and excited to sponsor this project and work with such great people. The city-wide coalition brings together a wide range of ages, races, cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic circumstances, genders, and skillsets to support environmental healing and strengthen community resilience. This collaborative team puts respect for nature’s intelligence and a commitment to equitable access to care at the core of our efforts. All community members are welcome to participate in the work and education of the project or to simply enjoy the fruits, flowers, vegetables, and herbs grown on-site. Please come out and visit us, and feel free to harvest any time. Learn more here.

How to Make a Flower Essence
Flower Essences are easy to use, have no adverse side effects, and no contraindications. They are resonant medicines, meaning that (like homeopathy) they work with vibration to rebalance emotions and restore vitality to the body. This resource is intended to support those of you who want to experience the joy and satisfaction of making your medicines, which also happily draws you into a closer relationship with the earth (and saves you money).
Threshold Blessings
Threshold blessings and simmer pots and sacred baths - oh my! Here are a few very common aromatic plants that you can find in many places (including the grocery store if need be) to support you in honoring nature’s (and your body’s) rhythms of rest and renewal during wintertime. As these particular potions are for external use, you can use them individually or in any combination. The sky is the limit. We’ll share info about the plants first, and then offer instructions on how to make the various preparations.
Secret Wish of the Soul
What could it be like to uplift a culture in which our most important choices and our collective direction come from deep listening and alignment with nature's rhythms? This pursuit is what we give our lives to at True Earth, and these earth-honoring ways are what we invite you into. We see this time of year as a time for connecting with our deepest dream seeds, and this practice is designed to support you in this journey. Learn more here.
