Let Your Wisdom Be Your Guide When It Comes to Food

September 05, 2019

I’m happy to announce that The Inner Wisdom Eating Summit: Finding a Healthy Relationship With Food in a Disconnected World starts September 20. My interview will run on September 21, and 20 other interviews with other experts will be available. Hosted by holistic nutritionist Cat Dillon, the summit explores such issues as overeating; stress, boredom or fatigue in relation to food; and knowingly eating foods that don’t leave you feeling your best.

Food is basic. It is a primal source not only of nourishment, but also of joy, connection, community and the ecosystem in which we live. I’d love you to join me in this exploration of one of the most important issues of our time, and, as always, I welcome your feedback.

Fall is a great time for planting and gardening. Once the weather starts to cool off a little bit and before any serious cold or frost hits I take every moment I can to be outside doing something productive.

Elements of Art In Gardening

September 15, 2020

Beauty and art play an integral role in gardening regardless of the garden's purpose. Even in the most pragmatic of settings beauty is still necessary; pollinators are naturally attracted to consistently flowering gardens. Bees will even create associative routines to help remember where the nice flowers are thus helping your cucumbers, apple trees, or pumpkin plants to produce more fruit. Perhaps more importantly, focusing on beauty for most people will help to make the garden more inviting and enjoyable in addition to more productive.
