Four Baskets- Heal your Birth, Heal the Earth
2017-08-27 12:00 - 17:00
This process takes you back to the time of your conception and birth into this lifetime- unlocking stuck energy, and healing your primary foundation- everything you experienced during the time of your Four Baskets (conception to 6 hours after birth) sets the foundation for how you will experience life. Nearly every One on this planet at this time has some unresolved energy (sometimes even trauma and shock) from their birth that can obscure access to your authentic being. I have adapted and integrated teachings and processes from various pathways to help resolve and repattern prenatal and birth trauma.
This process allows opportunity for greater Awareness, Connection to your divine/source/higher self and basking in the transformative healing energy – which does the work of clearing, releasing, opening, transmuting…. we simply see, ask & allow whatever needs to happen.
Catherine Lightfoot, CPM was initiated at Oneness University in India to lead this course. Her sacred work as a community midwife and training with Sister MorningStar gives her a unique perspective for these teachings and this process. She enjoys offering gentle, peaceful earth landings for babies in her care.

Perennial Culinary Herbs with Wade Bauer
Many culinary herbs require frequent replanting, while perennial herbs with the same flavors can grow for many years with little care! Work where it counts with perennial basil, Cuban oregano, culantro, mitsuba, and more.
This class is part of the Plant Aloha Permaculture Series facilitated by Wade Bauer.
Wade has taught Permaculture for over 13 years, with 10 years in Hawaii. He has a B.S. in Environmental Biology and is the founder of Malama Aina Permaculture: Edible Landscape Design, Education, and Nursery. Wade's farm in Kapoho is focused on being a demonstration site modeling a locally appropriate sustainable homestead.

Malama Aina Permaculture: Edible Landscape Design, Education & Nursery
http://hawaii-permaculture-institute.weebly.com/
The goal is to teach local residents how to efficiently grow their own food at home to provide a fresh organic balanced diet. From field or backyard to table all the crops necessary are covered including their propagation, cultivation, harvest, preservation, and use. Permaculture tools and techniques focus on easy and practical ways to create food abundance at home. Every class is a blend of practical theory and hands on projects. Occasionally, free plant starts will be available.
Locally, this series will help increase food security and resiliency to natural disaster in Hawaii by relocalizing and diversifying our food supply. Globally, this series also helps reduce transportation of food, which will decrease carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Culturally, these classes cover polynesian and pacific island crops and farming methods, which help preserve traditional Hawaiian horticultural practices. Plants from around the world that are already in use in Hawaii, will be highlighted, showcasing the multicultural heritage that makes present day Hawaii and our grinds unique and ono-licious.
Each class starts promptly with a lecture and Q&A before hands-on farm learning ~ Come prepared with notepad and writing utensil, closed toed shoes, sun hat, and gloves.
Plant Aloha is supported, in part, by the County of Hawaii, Research & Development. We are still looking for support to complete and enhance this amazing project. Please give what you can:
