Dragon medicine – a double edged sword! Warning: This transmission may trigger some people. Just want to preface this by saying: I am just the messenger, not the source! Some of this information made complete sense and some of it surprised me greatly – I was particularly intrigued by the specificity of the different preparations…

Walking the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail
Having just hiked the trail (aka bvrt), passing numerous cyclists and a few people on horseback, other walkers were sparse. In fact I could count them on the fingers of one hand. So I thought I’d write this post in the hope of inspiring more walkers, especially given as to the ease of this trail…

Patchouli Teachings
Patchouli – unassuming and earthy. While well known for its scent, as a moth repellant and hippie deodorant, there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. In fact, when a group of people coming to one of my plant journey evenings met with Patchouli, they were all surprised at her sweet, gentle energy. …
