Greetings Susun:
I recently discovered your website and ordered some books and received a Tentative Schedule 2007 flyer with them. Just happened to notice at the very bottom, that you “possibly” are coming to San Diego. I was wondering if it has been planned yet? That would be really great!!!!! Please keep me posted, and let me know if there is anything that I can do to help facilitate it.
Herbally Yours,
Kay

Hi Susun,
I am really interested in beginning my journey in herbalism. I have been drawn to the beauty and magic of nature since I can remember. My goal is to start with the ABC’s of herbalism correspondence course and then continue on with the other courses that focus on a much deeper and spiritual level.

Dear Susun,
I am 44 and am, for the first time, thinking about getting pregnant.
So much of what I have read has been, perhaps not surprisingly, incredibly
discouraging. However, your "Fertility over Forty" essay was the pep talk
that I needed. Thank You!…Thanks so much.
Peace,
Allison

Hiya
I just wanted to thank you for a great site, I have recently had a mild stroke and am looking at ways to improve my health. I am overweight and lethargic and decided I would look at herbs to help. I decided infusions would help and that is why I landed at your site. I intend to grow my own herbs and use them to help me.
so thanks again.
cheers Stevie

Hi,

Hello Susun,
Thank you for your e-newsletter. It is wonderful! I loved the article by Julia on the gypsies in NY and look forward to reading more in the next newsletter.
I am also grateful for your article on mammograms. I decided a few years ago not to do mammograms anymore as I knew intuitively they hurt my breasts more than they helped them and I was getting them from a place of fear.
I know my body well and lovingly care for it. I know when I am out of balance. I have always trusted my intuition and have been able to heal some powerful challenges in my body. Everyday I am fascinated with the study of my body and the emotions that show up through it. I have found out my body does not lie or hide what is currently going on in my life.
Thank You Susun for living and speaking your truth. From this truth you’ve helped create a smoother path for myself and my three daughters to embrace the sacredness of being a woman.
wishing you the best,
Joan

I read your book The Child Bearing Year about 15 years ago! You helped me so much back then and were such a huge influence in my quest for learning about herbal medicine. I am a big admirer, supporter, and fan!
Thank you for continuing a very ancient rite/right and practice.
Sincerely
Aura

I have been receiving your emails for the past few years and greatly respect your wisdom. I grew up in a small Polish Immigrant neighborhood in rural Manchester, NH where our community lived off the land and shared common fields and orchards, using the barter system for many of our needs. Both grandmothers used herbs extensively for any family ailments and maintained their own herbal gardens. As a child I was taught how to mushroom and wildcraft, drying most of our harvest for the year… So I am very open to the use of herbs, wild crafting, mushrooms, and respect their healing powers. I was one of the children that never missed a day of school: elementary, high school and university 5 years and attributed it to having lived off the land, consuming fresh natural produce and raw milk.

I read your New Meonopause Book and Breast Cancer? BreastHealth! Very good.
… I was drinking a quart of red clover twice a week, oat straw infusion, mother wort tincture, and bach olive plus lots of restorative yoga and time in nature--evening moonlit walks in the mountains . . . I did find complete relief of extreme breast soreness and heaviness with your recommended daily calendula masssage and loving visualization. ….
Blessings. Lisa

Dear Susun,
I don't usually send emails like this, but I felt this was important.
I regularly visit your site to see if anyhting new is up. I am not new to herbs. In fact, they have been my constant companion for 9 years now, encouraging me to a life of self-sufficiency (my life-long goal, I believe).
I can't remember which page I stumbled on, but it didn't take long before I was reminded of what is important in life. I sometimes let myself get too influenced by pop-culture that is bombarded on us left and right day-in, day-out, that can leave me feeling rather battered and insecure. So i wanted to thank you for the site and information you and your group put out on a regular basis. Your teachings are invaluable and a great help to the community, and always a great pleasure to read.
Please continue your teachings. Many blessings,
Kristina

Hello all you wonderful wise women -
We watched the Juliette video in Herbology class on Monday and I cried for joy through most of it. I'd even forgotten that part of it was filmed during that wonderful time with Helen and Juliette at Avena and at Harborside. I felt so connected. It's really
amazing to relive something so powerful. I was even in one shot for a few
seconds! I told my students that now I felt I had truly introduced them to
my mentors. I will treasure this video and share it many many times.
Thank you so much,
Sheila
