Herbal Adventure in Costa Rica with Susun Weed on March 4-12, 2005. Immersing ourselves in lush rainforest, rugged mountains, and long stretches of palm-fringed beaches are just some of the experiences we will have. The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is just teeming with colorful flora and fauna. We will experience a wide variety of ecosystems that grace this part of our gorgeous earth. Susun Weed will lead us in this 9 day herbal adventure as she shares with us her vast knowledge of the natural world. She will teach us about green allies, plant journeying, the secret language of plants, and much more! With the help of local guides, we will learn about the medicinal uses of the plants in the area. We are very excited to have you join us on this unforgettable journey through Costa Rica.

Midwifery in the United States is experiencing rapid change. We are leaving an era where knowledge about this topic was misrepresented to the general public. Lies, distortion and negative propaganda were espoused by those who had no real facts. The "midwife problem" was a political weapon to mask the real socioeconomic problems that society created. Today, midwives are speaking for themselves. With the help of researchers from other disciplines, we are honoring our past and the dedicated women who went before us, and we are also preparing for the future. Midwifery is destined to continue providing a positive low-tech solution to today's maternity problems and will lead the way into the 21st century. Marilyn Greene is a practicing midwife in Middle Tennessee. She has been involved in home and birth center births for twenty eight years.

Suzanne Cheryl Gardner is calling up feminine energy. "The image of the "feminine/Goddess" is key to the transformation of our culture. As we begin to physically see new symbols of female power we are spiritually reminded of the importance of a life balanced with both masculine and feminine energy." Creating works for commercial ventures like greeting card art and illustration pieces for projects is part of her goal towards encouraging others to remember the feminine. She also creates “Empowerment Paintings” on commission, embodying images and symbols to inspire and empower individuals, couples, families or groups.
