DAPNet co-founder Lisa McCrory has been kind enough to step in to teach the Holistic Planning for your Live-Power Business intensive on Friday October 2nd at The Draft Animal Power Field Days!

This is a day long intensive workshop designed for farms and businesses (existing or planned) that want to optimize quality of life, farm management/stewardship, and over-all resiliency!

When Lisa met her late husband, Carl Russell (also a DAPNet co-founder!), they applied the principles of Holistic Management in planning and ultimately birthing Earthwise Farm & Forest in Bethel, VT.

Sliding scale registration is at draftanimalpower.org/field-days!

Acupuncture at The Healing Order

In our peaceful treatment rooms, experience the living tradition of classical acupuncture. Our practitioners work with precision and care, using fine needles or gentler means such as teishin (non-insertion acupuncture tools), to guide your qi back into balance. Often they add the comforting glow of burning moxa, which penetrates deeply with its herbal warmth. The goal is to open all blockages and to relax the system—many guests feel a spreading sense of warmth, followed by a sense of peace and fresh energy.

Acupuncture sessions are available at The Healing Order. Visit our website to learn more or book your appointment.

September 2025We're in what I would describe as a cultural autoimmune response, where we attack parts of our own social body as if they are foreign invaders. After two decades of treating autoimmune conditions—from rheumatoid arthritis to inflammatory bowel disease to Hashimoto's thyroiditis—I'v...

A Prayer of Blessing for Inner PeaceMay the war within you find its end.Through the ancient and patient work of laying down what was never yours to carry.May the breath come easily. May it reach the places that have been holding — the jaw, the chest, the low belly, the places behind the eyes where...

Happy Summer Solstice

Sunday, June 21 is the longest day of the year when father sun is at its peak and appears to hold still. This especially evident in the sky over Mexico’s ceremonial sites like the Pyramid (teocalli) of the Sun at Teotihuacán and the shadow-serpent patterns at Chichén Itzá.

Culture keepers, curanderos, ceremonial dancers, and everyday people will gather to mark the solstice through prayer and offerings of beautiful flowers, plumes of copal smoke, and music.

At home, you can mark the sacredness of this day by offering your own prayers along with lighting incense and a candle.

On this day, and always, may,

Wisdom and humility guide the hearts and minds of those who have been given the gift of great power;

Culture keepers, elders, medicine makers, healers, and spiritual people receive all they need to continue their good work;

Mother Earth and all relations in nature be honored and positive and restorative actions be taken that we all may flourish in balance; and,

We be good ancestors.

For All Our Relations.
Maestra Grace Sesma

After 82 years, Merle Pearson milked his cows for the last time. He started milking cows at five years old, 21 years later he bought his own farm. He started by carrying buckets and straining milk himself before installing a pipeline and adding stalls and kept those 52 stalls full for the last 45 years.
