Okay, here's the scoop: our (free) workshop on HERBAL MEDICINE-MAKING is coming up! Part 1 is on Sunday, November 21, 2-4pm. Part 2 is on Sunday, December 5, 3.30-5.30pm. We'll be learning to make herbal salves and herbal tinctures (both alcohol and glycerine), and lots of other good stuff about herbal medicine in general.

Facilitated by Laura Sellens and Lia Ayley (enthusiastic amateurs) and Dov Shoneman (experienced herbalist who has owned his own herbal medicine-making business). There is no charge for this workshop, but it is LIMITED TO SIX PEOPLE. Reservations are required.

Hi Cindi and Heather, I'm replying to you here for posterity...thanks for your enthusiastic interest. Yep, we'll be in touch! I don't know anything about turkey tail medicine, perhaps you can inform me one day, Heather...

Laura & Lia! Thanks for initiating this reskilling of medicine making!
What dates are you considering? Maybe Sat/Sun Nov 20/21?
I'd like to learn how to make tinctures of some of the medicinal fungi's like Turkey Tail and will share as I learn.
Keep me in the loop, you've got my email & phone number.

Yes, Laura, I would be interested in an herbal medicine making workshop - keep me posted!

Hi all, Lia Ayley and I are fixin' to put on an introductory level herbal medicine making workshop in the near future. Echinacea tincture and comfrey salve. Wondering if anyone would like to collaborate? It also crossed our minds that it's likely some of you out there are more qualified to teach this so we thought we'd ask if there's interest. Apologies for any redundant emails, I'm sharing this with the Take Back Your Health group as well.

An initiating group for re-booting NW Freedom University has been meeting for about a year - obviously prior to the Great Unleashing. The focus of that 'school' is to focus primarily on transition re-skilling but not limited to it.

We have met with the 4 other colleges to start thinking about how we might support each other's mission and vision and have had positive feedback but need to jump through some hoops. We have decided to start small and 'get rolling' with a web presence and by support existing opportunities for re-skilling and inspire more, and we are actively looking for a person that loves writing business plans and another that will support or replace a web volunteer.

Our next meeting is on the 11th. I don't know if our existing initiating group is open for more decision makers at this point or not. You know, at some point you have to define your group in order to make progress. If anyone is wanting to be an active and fully engaged volunteer in helping to get this baby rolling - let me know and I will put this question of whether we should be adding more people to the group or not.

Cindi:
This "Reskilling Work Group" is what emerged at The Great Unleashing from the suggestion of a "Reskilling Institute" or Re-Skilling University. THAT was the purpose for this group. Wherever the split happened, I wanted to share my memory of the process. This does not need to be 2 groups as far as I can tell.

Hi, Jim Parker here. I have been mostly absent from Transition activities for the past few months with some job change/planning to move and such details taking most of my time. I set up the group after the Great Unleashing, but have not been actively involved... sorry. I'm hoping to get back on track after we find a place to move into in town later this month.
