As the
plants flow with lifeforce, beautiful foods and medicines offer
themselves freely, many possessing a bitter edge. In our culture many
shy away from the bitter taste in favor of sweet or salty, in
particular. But all of the tastes have a role to play in health, and the
bitter may be one of the most necessary to bring balance in our culture
of excess. For many of us, regularly incorporating more bitter into our
days can have profoundly positive impacts. In this class we will
discuss the role of the bitter principle in maintaining healthful
weight, optimizing digestive function, supporting detoxification, much
more. We will taste and explore the virtues of some of our green allies
that offer bitter constituents and discuss how to work with them at home. Many of them can be found in our yards and gardens.

Learn to use
a pendulum to test the health of your body, house, food and
environment. Dowsing is an ancient method for detecting subtle energies.
Like muscle testing, pendulum dowsing can give you information about
what foods you are allergic to, how fresh food is, whether food contains
contaminants, and if there are hidden ingredients. You can also dowse
for how healthy your organs are and what your body needs in order to
heal. You can detect mold spores in your house and dust mites in your
pillow. You can also test chakras for blocks and compromised energetic
patterns. Unlike muscle testing, dowsing offers a variety of patterns
that can communicate more information than just weak or strong, yes or
no. Pendulum dowsing is a highly useful tool for energy workers,
parents, massage therapists, and anyone concerned about their health.
