Example of a foraging focus that demonstrates learning about a topic that retrains the lost art of nature wild crafting and connection

These web pages, Awareness through Nature, were created in 2014. The pages were to document a journey into nature’s abundance in the surrounding landscapes of front and back yards, and the city blocks in the neighbourhood. It began with edible weeds, unique garden plants, herbs, trees, bulbs, roots, leaves, etc. It included naturally occurring growth and those purposefully planted.

The intention was to explore their nutritional and medicinal benefits, and create homemade tinctures, teas, infusions, essences, skin and hair products, and natural dyes.

This spring and summer, attention shifted back onto these pages as foraging came back into focus. The owner of some rental units let the landscaping go, and it inspired the wild crafting to emerge. Foraging has continued into winter. This includes mushrooms, lichen and tree needles for carbonizing water.

More new additions – three new affiliates. The intention for these affiliates is for those who are not actively making their own plant remedies. I do make them for my personal use and share ways for others to create them, yet, know not everyone has the time to make them. Here are fun and reliable sources for those interested in natural remedies.

• Energy Muse
• Crystal Herbs
• Wishgarden Herbs

These three affiliates join the original Richters Herbs.

Energy Muse offers a nice range of crystals and accessories. This year, they began offering frequency generators that I am in love with. Crystals Herbs offers flower essences, while Wish Garden Herbs offers plant tinctures. A reminder that Richters offers garden seeds, plants, dried herbs and recently began to offer essential oils. Their logos are along the sidebar at the top of the page. Tap the logos to visit their websites.

Back to the evolution of these web pages. This site is one of many developed. The process was to learn how to interact online for business development and integrate lessons in a way that made sense. The streams of focus needed to have a unified focus. This year it came into alignment and came together.

At the time of developing practice sites, I spent time supporting coaching students in building theirs. This included social media accounts. One of the intentions was to offer them a way through the constraints they stated blocked them from moving forward. It was interesting to work with them to build these online accounts, only to discover that this isn’t what was blocking them from moving forward. It was a lack of confidence. It was a fantastic way for them to begin to let go of the story dialogue and begin focusing on their self-confidence.

The web pages have more than one learning focus at the Inside Awareness Center for Integrative Somatic Learning. The center’s educational programs focus on lifestyles and are broken down into nine life areas. There are webpages for each of these nine life areas. Some of the webpages in each of the nine life areas may crossover into other life areas. Like this webpage. It is located in the higher learning life area, yet I would like to announce that its creation has a perspective that links it to the career life area. The articles featured focus on learning the abundance available in the natural world. However, the development of it provides another learning focus on intention and building sites. This suggests the web pages will have an individual intent for cultivating awareness, and all the sites together will have an intention to encourage the use of intention, placement and the five elements in building business sites. The purpose isn’t to teach building sites specifically. It is about expanding consciousness of alignment with intention and the natural elements, and the social conditioning aspect that is becoming culturally conditioned behaviour in business.

I hope you will like and subscribe to stay updated on the weekly featured sites, or click the link to the feature webpages below to check it out to get a felt sense of the site and offerings.
