“a portal can physically or emotionally represen “a portal can physically or emotionally represent a door to another world

physically, it may be a passageway or a passageway-like structure, as if you could step through it

emotionally, it can be anything that takes you from one feeling to another

a cup of coffee
a song
a car ride
a kiss

in some ways, everything is a portal, and i love collecting them”

The Forest Baths 2023 Calendar, featuring monthly The Forest Baths 2023 Calendar, featuring monthly art by Evan Rosen, aka @Squidelephant. Each month showcases the seasonal plants and pollinators that are part of the unique and beautiful ecosystems here on Lenapehoking land (lower Hudson Valley of New York) - but most of these are common throughout the northeastern United States.

Native species are a huge part of this, but we intentionally included non-native ornamentals with relatively little value to pollinators – like peonies – because their beauty serves a vital role in enlisting humans to care for, heal and defend the land. 

We are donating 50% of profits to the Lenape Center. As we are directly inspired by (and profiting from) the natural beauty of this area, the right thing to do is make sure that some of that power and money flows back to the land, and its stewards, the Munsee-Lenape people.
as it gets colder many of us may be less likely to as it gets colder many of us may be less likely to prioritize getting outside. but there’s a whole world of wonders that happens when the showstopping crescendo of autumn starts to dissipate! all you have to do is tune into your senses and notice what’s right here, right now.

FEEDING THE WORMS
(by Danusha Laméris)

Ever since I found out that earth worms have taste buds all over the delicate pink strings of their bodies, I pause dropping apple peels into the compost bin, imagine the dark, writhing ecstasy, the sweetness of apples permeating their pores. I offer beets and parsley, avocado, and melon, the feathery tops of carrots.

I'd always thought theirs a menial life, eyeless and hidden, almost vulgar though now, it seems, they bear a pleasure so sublime, so decadent, I want to contribute however I can, forgetting, a moment, my place on the menu.

every year i whip up a big batch of this incredibl every year i whip up a big batch of this incredibly soothing calendula balm to use on dry, itchy, cracked, injured skin all winter long. recipe is adapted from @herbalacademy - 
- first we harvest our calendula blooms and then let them dry completely (takes a few days)
- once dry, place the flowers into your base oil of choice (i’m using a mix of mostly coconut & olive, with a bit of sweet almond)
- seal your jar tightly and let sit so that the oil becomes infused with the flowers (4-6 weeks - i infused all summer long)
- when you’re ready to make your salve, use a cheesecloth to strain the oil
- heat water in bottom part of double boiler, then add oil, beeswax (i’m using candles from the queen @alysiamazzella), and shea butter. leave on the heat until beeswax is melted and everything’s incorporated. 
- while hot, pour into jars. let jars sit without a lid until the salve fully cools.
- then it’s ready to use! i love to put this on scrapes and scratches, but also will use it as my body moisturizer in the wintertime 💛
