WILD FOODS WEEKEND: August 28th-31st
Collecting & Feasting On Plants Of The Southwest
(for men, women & families)

Join the delight-filled Loba, Wolf and myself at our enchanted wildlife sanctuary, for 2 days of deep presence and connection to nature… learning to identify, gather, preserve and prepare some of the many wild foods of the mountainous and riparian Southwest. You’ll arrive Thursday Noon and leave Sunday, sleeping in riverside tents and cozy cabins, and feasting on wild fare that you help to gather and cook.  Learn about ecological restoration and sense of place while becoming intimate with the spirits and uses of plants like stinging nettle, dock, clover, lamb’s quarters, dandelion, acorns, wild grape leaves and grapes, and wild olives.  Learn to dry, salt-cure, and grind on an ancient stone metate as the herons croak and eagles soar overhead!  Sliding scale donation, with no one turned away for lack of funds.

For more information, read Wolf’s inspiring Wild Foods article.

Animá Blog Introduction

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

With there being ever more and more friends and students of Anima, it’s now impossible to personally fill everyone in on the Center’s changes and challenges… let alone the often remarkable experience of daily life in this intensely wild and inspirited canyon. This will be the place for intimate and informal weekly or biweekly posts by Kiva Rose, Loba and myself, Jesse Wolf Hardin – behind the scenes glimpses and hopefully inspiring tales… from the magic of Loba’s kitchen alchemy to swimming through the flood waters with a laptop held above the head, from Kiva’s discoveries in healing to 7 year old Rhiannon’s amazing exploits and curiously poignant revelations as told in her own inimitable voice.

It’s also here that you can post comments, sharing with us and the rest of this community the stories of your own Anima-related insights and experiences, ask questions of us, and initiate meaningful communication with others in our growing community of Anima students and alumni, shamanic explorers and earth-hearted teachers, heartful herbalists and wise Medicine Women. To comment on any post, please click on the post title, and then simply type your comment in the “Reply Now” field at the bottom.
