What is your number 1 best smoothie? What ingredients make a smoothie a smoothie for you?

Imagine sitting by a quiet fire, the scent of herbs in the air, listening to the wisdom of someone who knew how to speak the language of plants — not just with the mind, but with the heart. ✨ Who would that healer be for you? Would it be a tribal shaman, an Amazonian curandero, a Taoist herbal master, a village midwife, or perhaps one of your own ancestors? And if you could ask them one question about plant medicine, what would it be? Would you ask how they discovered a plant’s spirit? Or how to bring nature’s rhythm back into our modern way of healing? Let’s open a circle of reflection —💬 Share which healer calls to you, and what question you’d bring to that sacred conversation. Maybe, through our collective curiosity, we can remember a bit more of that ancient wisdom together. 🌱✨ #################### Update: 🌿 Deep Dive: The Power of Intention in Healing & Living A follow-up to “If you could sit with any traditional healer from history…” A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined the inspiring conversation around healing, history, and heart-led living. Special gratitude to @Veronika Hübner for her profound perspective that took us on a journey far beyond the expected. Here’s what emerged from our dialogue: 🌿 The Gifts of the Magi – Exploring plants like sage not just as remedies, but as symbols of reverence and spiritual connection. 💞 The Power of the WHY – Discovering that the intention behind healing matters more than the method itself. 🌍 Returning to the Natural – How listening to our bodies and communities realigns us with true well-being. 💧 Mindset as Medicine – The role of faith and conscious ritual, inspired by insights like Masaru Emoto’s water experiments. This isn’t about religion—it’s about conscious living, healing from the heart, and realigning our actions with purpose. 🎥 Watch the Full ConversationThe recording of our conversation is now available here and in the Clasroom:👉 https://www.skool.com/nature-inspired-living-2560/classroom/bb02311a?md=2aae2bbaa45f443a92c7cca6cc95f84d

It’s that time of year when squash seems to multiply overnight! 🎃 Whether you grow your own or pick them up locally, these vibrant veggies bring versatility, nutrition, and earthy sweetness to our plates.

How do you love to prepare squash? Let’s inspire each other with ideas like: 🥗 Raw & Fresh: Spiralized “zoodles,” thinly shaved in salads, or marinated with herbs ☀️ Dehydrated: Squash chips, leathers, or marinated slices 🥒 Fermented: Pickled squash, or adding it to kraut and kimchi 🌿 Seed Power: Roasted or sprouted squash seeds as snacks or toppings 🍵 Warmed Gently: Lightly steamed, baked at low temps, or in soups No rules, no judgment — just a friendly space to share inspiration, tips, and recipes that honor real food in all its forms.
