Devoted to Healing Our Earth - The Josephine Porter Institute

It’s an honor to report the fruits of a successful annual workshop making the preparations at the JPI farm. We had a lovely range of people visiting us from as far as Michigan, South Carolina, and beyond. Some of us were gardeners, others herbalists, naturopaths in training, as well as farmers. All were supportive souls.

I recognized folks from my workshops at the Virginia Biological Farmers (VABF) Conference, as well as folks from the national Biodynamic Conferences. I send a special thanks to people I met at these events who showed up here. It’s a rare pleasure to make real connections in our age, so thank you. What a gracious group of people. Thank you for the time and fellowship together.

It was a joy to see familiar faces and to make new friends. How can I summarize such an event? Bullet points don’t capture it, but I have to say something about it even if I can’t fully convey the mood of the event in words. You’ll have to forgive me when my words fall short of describing such a wonderful event, full of so many inspiring souls: please know that it included everything I’ve written and more — but it was better than all that.
