Maya Blow from Soulflower Farm
Last night, herbalist and classical homeopath, Maya Blow, from Soul Flower Farm brought us on a spiritual journey to the transformation of their land into a "garden of eden", giving new meaning to Person of the Planet. Eight years ago, Maya and her husband bought 3 acres of land near El Sobrante and transformed the hard soil into healthy dirt through biodynamic gardening techniques and permaculture design. Today they have a thriving self-sufficient oasis that teaches classes on everything from fermenting vegetables, bee keeping, herbal teas/salves and making wool cloth. Check out their website, www.soulflowerfarm.com to see all the amazing classes and things they doing. Below are a couple classes that might interest you.
