Let Food Be Thy Medicine
“Let food be thy medicine” – one of the central statements of Traditional Naturopathy is still valid today. What we eat will support healthy cellular renewal and resilient tissue formation – or not. Here are a few thoughts on the naturopathic “plant-based” dietary concept for acute physiological stress and imbalances: When we eat less plaque […]
The Quest – It Continues
THE QUEST – continues. I love the question “WHAT IF…?” The journey continues, and I’m grateful that many of you have traveled along with me. I have learned much from all of you, in community. Many years ago, after a long, dedicated, soul-searching, journey with kindred souls, life as I had known it, shattered into pieces. I felt broken […]
Self Love
SELF LOVE – is it being in love with oneself, or loving being ourselves? Being in awareness of ourselves, we can begin to love who we are. And when we love who we are, we feel and embody that love. We are that – ourselves. Everything we do will carry that essence. They say: “Love […]
Listening to the Ancestors
The end of October is nearing, and soon it will be All Souls Day (November 2nd) again, which was in my upbringing in Germany, a day of significance. And this year I will have plenty more to reflect upon on that day. Living in awareness of the giving and taking, the interaction, between different generations, is […]
Change
Autumn has arrived, and the light is changing – With the length of daylight hours palpably shortening, we can inspire each other to make best use of the times in the light, and encourage each other to explore the depths of the change, and the significance of the promise of more times of darkness.

I was simply […]

Nature’s Abundance
I am so distracted …..by nature’s beauty, a nonstop flow of vistas, smells and feels, when I am outside. In our area nature has been exceptionally kind to us lately, it feels abundantly rich, so delightfully palpable. Just “watching the grass grow”, and literally all plants, is a meditation in itself. I take this abundance as a message to look […]
Moving forward
How can we honor the ones who came before us, respect their values, while giving ourselves space to move forward? Why are we keeping beliefs from eras gone by, as through our lineage, alive? Are we judging ourselves today based on these beliefs and parameters? Are expectations we have of ourselves today realistic, do they serve us […]
