Everything Is Medicine

I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to collaborate with one of the most talented artists I have had the pleasure of meeting for the cover of our new summer 2014 mix CD.  Containing music from brothers and sisters, friends new and old, and those I have yet to meet in this lifetime, it is a genuine offering from my heart to yours- some sweet medicine for your earth walk! Free with purchase to the first 25 women to visit our booth at the Spirit Weavers Gathering.

We are Woven

When I graduated my apprenticeship with my herbalist teacher Susun S. Weed, I confessed that I would probably not ever teach or become an herbalist- that I believed that intimate knowledge of the plants was my birthright, not necessarily a career path. She nodded knowingly and said something equivalent to "that's what they all say".  

Words cannot express my grattitude for the opportunity to share Kava and the wisdom of The Wise Woman Tradition with this incredible group of women!

The Platform Grand Opening!

 Gollypod creator Jason Xavier Lane (JXL) and Tend have teamed up with sacred geometry artist Jetter Green to open an experimental launch pad housed inside Klassik of Little Italy,  dubbed The Platform! The trio has designed a 250 sq ft corner of the Mid-Century furnishings mecca to showcase individual works, prototypes, and collaborative musings.  Jason will be previewing his exquisite hand-crafted furniture formerly available only to private clients, alongside of limited edition large scale sacred geometry pieces by Jetter Green and Tend's signature rare and unusual specialty plants for the home.

We will have a few of our enamelled wall hangings as well as some jewelry on display at the openning and are honored to be a part of the magic happenning here!
