Willo' Wellspring - Part of the teaching is to create or words to inspire thoughts, once common, but now almost forgot. I thought I would share one of mine.

Droplets clinging to extract fragrant aromas
from flowered beauties,their meanings lost
The Rosemary whispers of Fidelity and Loyalty
The Salvia that is blue is saying its thinking of you
but violets blush with modesty and simplicity
...Wisteria with it's Youthfulness spouts Poetry
Red jasmine rants Folly and glee
The pear blossoms sings they are hopeful
since the Honeysuckle has such Sweetness Of Disposition
and the Crocus is cheerful in foresight
Anticipation eludes from the Bachelor Button
Primrose calls "I can not live without you"
...Queen Anne's Lace with it's delicate femininity
keeps it's Fantasy to itself
but the Pink Heather declares "good luck"
Thyme states the courage to act
The Bay merits reward
The Yarrow cheers for good health
So many tellings all around the couple
seated together unaware
Tulips sway seductively like a perfect lover
yet she bends to smell the roses
that he had just picked
all different colors so the meanings are mixed
still the cedar leaf waves "I live for thee"
as they walk crushing the dandelions
representing the oracles
of time,love, and faithfulness
just like the cockscomb with their silliness. Willo 5/13/2010

Plants, Herbs, & Flowers - Willo' Wellspring - Do you know just how much plants and flowers have to say. The lore and meanings behind them? Part of being one with nature is to understand it. In the effort to preserve our heritage I believe it is important to continue passing on these wonderful and practical applications of our surroundings. I will be discussing some stories and folklore about common plants, herbs, and flowers in our journey.
Science and medicine has only starting to grasp the impact of the generally overlooked friends of ours.

Tie Dye - Ronda - has been doing our tie dye workshops for many years and will be happy to teach you how or just let you do your own thing. Bring your own garments to tie dye or preorder 100% cotton t-shirts (see below) from us and we will supply the dyes.

Journey Dynamics - Alfred Willowhawk - The concept of "Journey" is different from Visions and Lucid Dreams. This workshop assists individuals to be able to discern the difference, and to facilitate the ability to each individual to enhance the ability to journey for themselves. At this workshop you can also purchase advance copies of his NEW work The Shamanic Soul - A guide to self healing through personal mandalas.

Sustainability - the guide to the Future - Alfred Willowhawk - This workshop focuses on the changes on mother earth, and our ability to decompress from the current consumer driven society to make better choices for the 21st century to live in harmony with Mother Earth.
