Join Samwise Raridon, Community Herbalist and Bob and Rebecca of Currents intentional community in Shawnee, Osage, Adena and Hopewell land (colonially known as South Eastern Ohio) for an exploration of the energy of Maple and the joyous and arduous project of making maple syrup. Maple is a tree that evokes an energy of motherly protection, abundance, sweetness and also balance, boundaries and reciprocity. In this episode we explore what it means to get a "no" when approaching a plant (which is actually a gift!) and what it could mean to orient towards giving back to the lands we are on, and especially what it could mean for settlers to give to the land and the people who have cared for the land since time immemorial from whom so much has been taken. We also touch on the sweetness of connection that keeps us going in these generational journeys of restoring healing and balance.

In the spirit of moving towards balance and reciprocity, we invite you to join us in donating to the vital educational and coalition building work of the Greater Cincinnati Native American Coalition. A link to their donation page can be found here:

Another wonderful and powerful project we encourage you to donate to is the Sogorea'Te Land Trust, a land rematriation project led by Indigenous Women. They have blessedly set up a land tax calculator and are graciously accepting Shuumi, a gift of land tax from settlers living on stolen lands. More about their amazing work can be found here:
