Bring your wagon!
Each year, Herbs from the Labyrinth has a booth set up for the Baltimore Herb Festival. Held in Leakin Park on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, this one-day festival is truly wonderful. And this year is the 26th year for this festival, so I know they are planning some special events. Come see us there! We'll be under our blue tent. Bring your wagon, but don't worry, we always have plenty of beautiful African market baskets for sale.

Prerequisite: Elements of Magic class in Reclaiming Tradition (or equivalent). This workshop draws heavily on the co-created, participatory ritual work of Reclaiming practices.
“For those who can read the body, it holds the record of our rejected side, revealing what we dare not speak, expressing our current and past fears.” ~ John P. Conger, “The Body as Shadow,” Meeting the Shadow
What calls out from within that will no longer be silenced? What stories from the past haunt the happiness possible in the present? How do the cultural shadows of power-over patriarchy define our relationships to our own bodies and sexual expression? What demons sabotage our life dreams and relationships? How do the monsters we hear in our fears and shame and longings challenge us to embrace what we’ve tried to cut from deep within us? And what if we listened to these shadows, danced, and played, and embraced them as deeply held parts of us, might that healing be so potent with the energies we rediscover that great change might truly be possible?
“When shadow work is denied, the soul feels banished, exiled from its inhabitants in the wilds of nature, in the soft nights of lovemaking, or in the sacred objects of art. Then, people suffer anxiety and loneliness, cut off from a sense of place, the mystery of the Beloved, or the beauty of things. But when shadow-work is attended to, the soul feels round, full, sated. When shadow-work is invited into a life, the soul feels welcomed, alive in the gardens, aroused in passion, awake in sacred things.” ~ Connie Zweig and Steve Wolf, Romancing the Shadow
The times we live in, and the work we must bring out into the world as priestesses, healers, activists, lovers, and visionaries will be better served by through our increased sense of wholeness and integration. Shadow work is an important practice for our health and wellbeing, especially as we step into our personal power and leadership. For what waits in the shadow is often our magnificence as well as those other aspects of ourselves deemed undesirable.
We will listen and learn through ecstatic ritual, trance, voice and movement (don’t let this stop you from joining), and speaking our truths together. We will seek personal healing in a ritual group setting and courageously embrace our power to trust, stepping forward to be agents of change and transformation, for the healing of ourselves and the world.
This workshop will be held at Radiance, 9 W Grant St., Lancaster, PA, across the cobblestones from historic Central Market. To register, call Radiance at 717-290-1517, or stop in. Cost is on a sliding scale from $75 to $45, in advance.
Bring to class a yoga mat or blanket to sit comfortably on the floor (chairs are also available), your journal and a bottle of drinking water.
The 2013 group of herb garden apprentices will gather for experiential study most Mondays. This group has already formed, and will work together through this gardening season. If you are interested in possibly participating in a similar apprenticeship in 2014, please contact Sarah and ask to be added to the mailing list.
We begin each day with simple ceremony and meditation. We will spend some time working in the garden, some time making herbal medicines and other preparations in the kitchen, and some time in discussion. There is homework and research to be done between classes.

Meditation doesn't come easily for many people. Kirtan - one of the oldest sacred music traditions of the world - offers another method. Kirtan is a call-and-response style of singing sacred chants. Kirtan carries us effortlessly to a place of quiet, to stillness. While it is true that we can sing these chants in the solitude of our own homes, there is nothing like the magic of chanting live with musicians and other participants all adding their energies to the experience.

Come explore the ancient rhythms within yourself! Rhythms of the Earth will combine the story of the djembe drum, the basics of how to play the djembe and dunun drums (a type of drum from West Africa), and how to put the techniques together to learn ancient traditional rhythms and songs. All this within the theme of the Wheel of the Year! Each month we explore rhythms and lore that express the changes in the natural world around us.
Just like other instruments, these drums have notes that are combined to play music. We will work on the sounds of the notes and will play music that you can play alone or with other drummers. Whether you are a beginner drummer or an experienced one, join us to discover or improve your own sound on the drum, and to create music in community with others.
Classes are for all ages of drummers and all skill levels.
If you don't have a djembe, dunun (barrel-shaped stick drum), or ashiko drum, you can rent a djembe for $2 (technique instruction is focused on these drums, but you may also bring frame drums to play during the rhythms). Please request rental drums ahead of time, so that Tammi knows how many to bring for each class.
