Thank you for sharing your scary thoughts with us. I am so sorry to hear that you and Wren are struggling. I had no income over the summer and Matt continues to struggle with employment too. So I can only imagine how hard it is and all it can bring up.
I really appreciate your desire to offer your herbs as a way to pay for your weekend. I really hope that something comes together so you can attend. I also heard Meggie's thought on maybe offering massage during the weekend and that you don't have a massage chair. Is that something you would want to offer? I know some therapists stop doing it because of the physical demands so not sure if that is any part of it for you.
Bottom line, I'd so love you to be there and I will help in any way I can.

Thank you, Meggie. I haven¡¯t practiced massage since 2020 though I am licensed in NH and ME. I no longer have a massage chair unless I could borrow one.?

Hello Matooka,
I very, very much want you to be there in September! I hear that you aren't asking for "handouts" and I love the offer of herbs. I'd also encourage you to be open to receiving monetary gifts from people who love you and really want to see you and genuinely and purely want to help lift you up! Like us!
Another idea/question: Are you doing massage currently? Is that something that could happen at some point on the weekend?
Love,
Meggie

Hello Sisters,
Feels like it?is time to share some of my?scary?thoughts with you.
I have been sitting on the fence about attending next month. A big story rolling around in my head regarding affording/manifesting the funds to join you all. I realize it is fear but it is also real. I haven't had steady work nor has Wren. So it has been challenging to find my YES. Now some of you may know that I attended a women's herbal conference last weekend. They offered a work-study?which supported my ability to go.?
I want to be clear, I am not asking for handouts only to share with you the struggle within.?
However, there is an idea percolating. As you?know, I have been studying herbalism?these past few years. I didn't go this year due to funds, however, I have made a lot of medicine. Tinctures, salves, and flower essences. My storehouse cabinets are rather full and I would love to share them with you all. I will accept?donations to?cover the cost of the products. If this sounds of interest to you,?please let me know and I will send a detailed inventory?list.?
Thank you for hearing me. Please know that I am not attached to this idea. If there isn't interest I accept that.?
