We posted the first episode of the Ground Shots podcast, an audio project that is a part of our Ground Shots work, last week. . Episode ONE features an interview with Zapotec weaver Samuel Bautista Lazo from Oaxaca, Mexico. It was a great experience getting to talk to Samuel about some things I have been thinking about for a long time- the effects of tourism on indigenous culture, the way that craft skills can be powerful but also complicated to share, and the historical stories behind how humans have worked with plants to nudge them to grow according to our wants or needs - something we touch on specifically around corn and cochineal. It’s pretty different than how I ‘assume’ things to be from the outside, from an observer’s perspective. The dynamics of colonialism and how they have and do play out are complicated. I am interested in exploring these complexities through conversations like this, with the hopes that stories can imbue a different lens. . If you haven’t heard it already, give it a listen, tell me what you think, give us a review on iTunes. It is also worth following Samuel’s handles at @dixzarugsorganicfarm and @sam_dixza to see into the life of weavers in Samuel’s region of Oaxaca. .

Desert Salve :::::: for suggested use in wounds, burns, skin irritations, fungal infections and scars. I have made some version of this blend for years now, and folks I have given it to swear by it. My dad works out in the sun all the time and gets sun blisters and damaged spots from years of outdoor labor and he will put this salve on his face and neck as a mild sun protection, and to tend to the spots that seem to take forever to heal. A friend burned his face a few years ago and used this salve after and it greatly reduced healing time and scarring. I have personally stopped a yeast infection in its tracks, without the use of pharmaceuticals, but with this salve as well as straight chaparral oil, which is one ingredient in the blend. Not to say it is a cure all by any means- what works for some people may not work for others, I am merely stating what I have witnessed from its use. Like any plant- some folks could be sensitive to its medicine. I have heard stories of this sensitivity with the use of chaparral, cottonwood and sagebrush, though they have been commonly used by native folks where they grow for any number of external, internal or spiritual ailments. The smell of this salve literally takes me to the desert itself, as if I am tucked under a Creosote Bush after a storm or Cottonwood on a hot day. If you’re interested, this herbal medicine will be included in June’s land capsule shares, to be sent out the first week of July.

We send these out every month. #salve #cottonwoodbud #creosotebush #antifungal #healingsalve #woundsalve #antifungalsave #herbalmedicine #herbalism #plantlove #plantfocus #plantwitch #plantlovers #getoutandgather #gardening #woundcare #gobernadora #desertecology #makersgonnamake #makethings #remedies #herbalremedies #bodycare #skincare #herbalskincare #burncare

I dream of a garden filled with highly scented flowers. And fruit and veg growing in abundance. Theres a swing hanging from a strong branch of a towering centuries old tree, the bark slighly worn at the bottom from leaning on our favourite reading spot. Theres a secret tree house at the bottom of the garden that holds secrets and dreams from my kiddos. Initials and heights and secret messages marked over the years. Theres an oversized corner suite and pizza oven where friends and family gather until the early morning. One day... one day. . . . . . #alovefornaturesbest #slownaturemoments #gowildlyandslow #mynaturestory #thewildnesstonic #quietinthewild #capturequiet #holdthemoment #smallmomentsofcalm #mybeautifulsimplicity #getoutandgather #thevisualcollective #theweekoninstagram #finditliveit #postitfortheaesthetic #abmhappylife #ofsimplethings #weekend #outside #nothingisordinary #momentslikethese #dreambig #liveunscripted #inspiremyinstagram #theslowdowncollective #savouringhappiness #thatsdarlingweekend #dreams #livethelittlethings #naturehippys (at Birmingham, United Kingdom)

I didn't bring a camera most of the time during my Signal Fire 'wide open studios' month but on one week, I decided to haul the heavy Pentax that @medicinetrees gave me up the steepest and hardest climb of the whole trip in the Bitterroots. I just got my film from the summer developed, and much of it was a disappointment, as the camera has a broken light meter and I was using the wrong film for what I was doing. I got a handful of gems though- like this one of @olivia_supertramp looking out at one of our high alpine campsites: Tamarack Lake. The blue streak on this photo ended up on a bunch of photos for some reason- film is both frustrating and a strange treat. @artistsareintents #womenontheroad #womennomads #womenoutdoors #queersoutside #hiking #tamaracklake #bitterroots #montana #signalfire #wideopenstudios #getoutandgather #getoutside #wildernessculture #wildernessbabes #gohiking #backpacking #sheexplores #35mm #film #filmphotography #35mmfilm #pentax #pentaxk2 #vintagecamera #vintagecameras #analog #uneditedphotography (at Bitterroot Mountains)
