Healing with Nature
Have you ever felt the call to know the message nature has for you? Are you in awe of the beauty of different flowers and how they resonate in your heart? Come and join Lindsay Fauntleroy and Aki Hirata Quetzalyolotzin Jewel Moon Medicine Woman to learn how to attune your sensitivities with the rhythm of nature.
