Dr. Lisa Petty - Soul Gardening

You can stop faking it | For women who’ve outgrown who they had to be | Shamanic Practitioner | Deep healing for soul-aligned success | 🎤 Host: Don’t Tell Me to Calm Down | What is your burnout telling you? Along with our concern about toxins in mass-produced products used for personal and home care, we’re also aware that many of us have lost connection with Nature and the rhythm of the Earth. It’

s the rhythm of the rise and fall of the sun to gently shake us awake in the morning, and makes our eyelids heavy at night. It’s also the rhythm that comes from standing bare-foot on the grass: You may not feel the vibration, but you likely feel its effect as your heart opens and your cares melt – if only for a while. In summer, our senses bask in the scents and colours of plants and flowers in full-bloom, and the beginnings of fresh food from the ground. Fall brings us a bountiful harvest, along with the reminder that life is fleeting and precious. Winter allows us to go inward, to learn, and to rest. Spring, of course, is a time of renewal, and the opportunity to try what we have learned. We could take it all for granted, or we could acknowledge that these gifts are acts of love. And so we want to give back. We want to reduce the burden on the Earth caused by persistent chemicals in consumable products. We want to cut down on pollution caused by importing products and ingredients from around the globe. We want to support the native plants and pollinators including bees, birds, butterflies and insects that keep our ecosystem humming. In other words, we want to show the earth some love. Because love is also a verb, we knew we had to do something. That’s how “loving earth” came to be. We wanted to put our intentions into action. (Plus, we love how it’s recripocal and truly believe the Earth loves us back.) So here’s what we’re doing: we’re developing and perfecting consumable products we all need, using raw materials straight from Canadian farms. If you don’t know what we mean by this, take a mindwalk back in time. Imagine what it was like for indigenous Canadians and early settlers to Canada who created meals, medicine and home comforts using only the plants and herbs they harvested themselves or got through trade with other farmers. (Full disclosure: We will be using modern conveniences like stoves and refrigerators and whatnot. We’re not insane.) We’d like to invite you to join us on the journey. We’ll be regularly blogging our progress, and letting you know our trials, tribulations, failures and successes along the way. We’ll share insights and tips from decades of research and experience in natural health care and native gardening. We’ll even explore ways we can add a little more love and magic into our lives. Please be sure to sign up to our Loving Earth news to hear the latest, and join us on your social networks. We’d love to hear from you!
