Happy Holla-days babes,
We are ending the sacred smokes series in a very special way by engaging in the medicine of Myrrh. Myrrh is a resin from the middle east that we are calling on for it’s healing properties at a time like this; a war, a genocide and the celebration of the birth of one of the most famous Palestinian Jews on Earth, Jesus Christ.
Brew up a cup on mint tea and lets chat!

Hey bbs,
We back with the Resin Residency! We’re so excited to get into an old, sacred fave… Frankincense! It’s well known from the Baby Jesus story, AND there is so much more to learn about this sacred and ancient resin. From being sewn into clothing to being a chewing gum… we’ve share so much in just 40min.
Let’s stop saying PSLs are basic, y’all! Grab one from your fave coffee shop, be blessed and turn on the pod. You’re gonna love this episode!

hellur ghouls and goblins.
We have transitioned into a new series, but one that came from the series prior… Resin Residency! We learned so much about how resins are the “blood” of a tree and for this reason it provides such rich medicine. Today, we are discussing Copal and how people currently work with it and some historical uses as well. Copal is so sacred and holy and we want to put all of the respect on Copal’s name!
Have you ever tried Atole? Today is a good day to have a warm up as you cozy up to this episode! Isss a good one!

Greetings, loved ones!
This is a reprise of one of our favorite episodes to prepare the folks for our upcoming course... SOUL FOOD GENIUS!! Enjoy!
Brought to you from North Carolina... we’re being petty about eating RAW GREENS. Many of our ancestors derived good eats and nutrition from green veggies, cooked low and slow. So, why are people now eating raw greens? They are probably disconnected from culture and sacred foods, they’re just too busy, or they don’t know that you cannot derive the nutrients from these foods without cooking. We’re here to educate y’all. Please take time for yourself, and make this sacred food with us!
Enjoy, eat, and COOK THOSE GREENS!
Here are some resources of items we've discussed in this week's POD:
Everyday Utopia by Kristen R. Ghodsee
Justin Robinson’s IG @countrygentlemancooks
Raw Foods and Cooked Plant Foods
Reclaiming the ancient Wheat
Raw food impact on the thyroid
Fiber feeds your microbiome
What are superfoods?
Apiaceae or Umbelliferae is a plant family that includes celery, carrot and parsley family, and are also called umbellifers.
Shoutouts!
