A big thank you to @Mike Gagnon for sharing this powerful and eye-opening interview with Chef Sean Sherman (Oglala Lakota) on The Daily Show. https://www.skool.com/nature-inspired-living-2560/native-american-food-and-culture-recovery In just 13 minutes, Chef Sherman takes us on a journey that is about so much more than food — it's about identity, cultural revival, and living in harmony with the land. Here’s what deeply moved me: 🍃 He doesn’t just cook — he reclaims. His restaurant Owamni uses zero European colonial ingredients—no dairy, wheat, or sugar—focusing entirely on indigenous foods that honor the earth and ancestral wisdom. 🌎 He calls Indigenous knowledge the "blueprint for sustainability" — something our nature-inspired community deeply understands. This is about thousands of years of plant wisdom, not just trends. 🕊️ He reframes Thanksgiving not as a myth to celebrate, but as an invitation to learn the real history of the land we live on and support Native communities. This conversation is a profound reminder that the most sustainable way forward is often a return to rooted wisdom. 📺 Watch the full interview here: Sean Sherman - "Turtle Island" & Fighting Native American Erasure With Food | The Daily Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2ypQ5V5fUI @everyone: Let’s discuss: What part of his philosophy resonates most with you?

It does not only deal with the resulting manifestations, but also with the cause of the problems themselves. It establishes balance in the body with the help of diet, behavioral changes and natural medicines. It uses thousands of Tibetan herbs to produce them, from which teas are mixed or pills are made.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how nature has this quiet way of reminding us what truly matters. Whether it’s the sound of rain on the leaves, the stillness of sunrise, or the scent of fresh earth after a storm, these simple moments have a way of bringing us back to ourselves. In a world that’s constantly rushing forward, slowing down feels almost like an act of courage. What if we treated time in nature not as an escape, but as a return... a way to realign our rhythm with the one that never left us? ✨ I’d love to know, what’s one simple, nature inspired ritual that helps you feel grounded or reconnected? Maybe it’s morning walks, gardening, forest bathing, or just sipping tea by an open window. Let’s share and inspire each other with the small, meaningful ways we reconnect with nature. 🌿

💜 Lavendel – Ruhe, Reinheit & stille Kraft Lavendel ist eine Pflanze, die Herz und Körper gleichermaßen berührt. Seit jeher gilt er als Symbol für Ruhe, Reinheit, Heilung und Gelassenheit. In manchen Regionen steht er auch für Demut und Erinnerung. Seit Jahrhunderten nutzen Menschen ihn: ✨ um das Nervensystem zu beruhigen und Entspannung zu finden ✨ zur Reinigung von Wunden und zur Heilung ✨ für erholsamen Schlaf und gegen ängstliche Gedanken ✨ als Duft voller Eleganz und Spiritualität Seine Blüten sind essbar, sein Duft unverkennbar, und sein ätherisches Öl gehört bis heute zu den kostbarsten Heilmitteln – sowohl in der Naturheilkunde als auch im Alltag. Doch jenseits all seiner praktischen Anwendungen trägt der Lavendel eine besondere Energie: Er erinnert uns daran, langsamer zu werden. Zu atmen. Zurückzukehren in unsere innere Balance. Für mich flüstert er: Du bist genug, so wie du bist. Dieses Video ist zwar auf Deutsch gesprochen, doch ich hoffe sehr, dass die Energie des Lavendels auch in euch spürbar wird. 💜 Herzlichst,The German Girl in the Garden 💜 Lavender – Calm, Purity & Silent Strength Lavender is a plant that touches both heart and body. It has always been a symbol of calm, purity, healing and serenity. In some regions it also stands for humility and remembrance. For centuries people have used it: ✨ to soothe the nervous system and bring relaxation ✨ to cleanse wounds and support healing ✨ to ease sleep and soften anxious thoughts ✨ as a fragrance of elegance and spirituality Its flowers are edible, its scent unmistakable, and its essential oil remains one of the most cherished remedies – in natural medicine as well as in daily life. But beyond all practical uses, Lavender carries an energy: It reminds us to slow down. To breathe To return to inner balance. For me, it whispers: You are enough, just as you are. This video is spoken in German, but I truly hope that the energy of Lavender will still resonate with you. 💜 Warmly,The German Girl in the Garden
