Hi! Mark here!
It is 1 o’clock at night, but I am wide awake and typing. I was going to wait until I had my whole website ready before going live with it in a couple of weeks, but with so many cool projects taking off around me I couldn’t wait, and was inspired to give the already rolling ball an extra nudge!
Two friends of mine, with whom I spent a wonderful year and a half in the mountains and forest of Transylvania, have just gone live with their website. It is a wonderful project involving developing a forest garden and living closely with nature in stunning surroundings, and I was fortunate to be able to volunteer for them, helping them with their creation. It was also a wonderful opportunity for me to study the wild plants, practice making herbal products and develop my skills in growing herbs.
Another exciting thing I came across this week is that there is at least one other person working towards a vision I have of Integral Herbalism. I will talk about this more soon, but basically the idea involves taking the holistic approach of Herbalism to a whole new level!
So I wanted to get started and link with these and other cool projects, and to play my part in creating something great.
Thanks for reading, and I would love to hear from you if you feel like leaving a message.
Best wishes,
Mark Jack
P.S. Just a quick update to say I have now launched an Integral Herbalism website and forum as a place to explore how the Integral model can be applied to the practice of Herbal Medicine. If you are interested in exploring or developing this new approach check it out!
