Eva Ristl, M.Sc., herbalist (AHG) Together with her husband, Eva grows ginseng, traditional Western, and Ayurvedic herbs on their woodland farm in Roane County, WV. She applies and teaches an intuitive yet empirical way of truly understanding the natural rhythms in our cosmos, reflected above all in her use of the lunar calendar - for everything. She makes herbal products of the highest integrity, paying attention to the energetics of herbs and plants and 'The Art of Timing'. She is currently enrolled in the East-West School of Planetary Herbology. Contact her at www.Leftforkfarm.com or (304) 577-9034. The Art of Timing – Living In Harmony with the Lunar Rhythms This is a very practical talk. You will learn how to use the moon in order to make your life easier so you can go with the flow, not against it. Why the moon? It is the planet closest to earth which exerts the most influence on it. This old empirical knowledge, codified in e.g. the lunar signs, was once so important that our survival depended on it. It has been completely forgotten over just a generation or two, because we now have the technology and think we don’t need it any more. Let yourself be surprised: this knowledge relates to plants, health, food, beauty, household, building things, you name it. Beyond sharing information about perfect and not so perfect times for doing things, I want you to get a feel for and an awareness of what it can be like to live in harmony with nature again. The cosmos is ordered, it is our GPS so-to-speak, if we only care to read the “signs”. In Eva's own words: Moon Talk: It's gonna be about the moon first, we always have to know what sign and phase she is in ... and then spin offs from there, about the Art of Timing, of everything, related to plants, health, beauty, household, building things, you name it, ...so that we can go with the flow, and not against it. And with growing awareness you will know when you go against it. You know it without awareness, ha ... It's about consciously living in harmony with nature. And understanding why there are good times and not so good times for pretty much everything. The cosmos is ordered! I very much welcome your interest! It is stuff we all know, or once knew, and just have to re-member! Left Fork Farm Medicinal Herbs, Herbal Products 925 Kettle Rd Gandeeville, WV 25243 (304) 577-9034
