Welcome to Sage Mountain Herbal Retreat Center & UpS Botanical Sanctuary
Herbs & Earth Awareness, 2010
Like seeds ripening in the rich soil of the earth & honey bees longing for the sweet nectar of blossoms, we’re awaiting the warmth of spring and looking forward to another season of growing, sharing, and learning on The Mountain.
This will mark our 24th year of offering programs on Herbs, Healing and Earth Awareness on Sage Mountain. What an amazing, growthful, and inspiring experience it’s been. Though we often speak of ‘slowing down’ and offering fewer programs, there seems to be no greater need or desire to learn about earth awareness & herbal consciousness than right now. The need for more cost effective medicine, disenchantment with the current medical situation, and people’s desire to be more ‘in touch’ with their healing process has awakened the desire to learn more about home remedies and herbal medicine.
Sage Mountain is one of New England’s foremost learning centers for herbs and earth awareness. Located on 500 pristine acres in Vermont, this beautiful piece of Earth Mother is a natural sanctuary and teaching site. Our facilities are simple and comfortable and provide a peaceful place for participants to learn.
Though the knowledge and wisdom shared at these programs is outstanding and has helped fuel the ‘herbal renaissance’, the teachings are far more than just educational in nature. Rich in spirit, they nourish the heart as well as the mind. Through a supportive network with other herbalists and other herbal programs around the country, we have built a strong green community and have created an interface with other traditions of healing, while keeping an earth based herbal tradition alive and thriving in this country. It’s quite a miracle…. .
We are honored to have been part of the spark and flame that helped spread this growing consciousness from the early 70’s through the newest decade and are looking forward to another season of programs and opportunities for sharing and learning with others. I was reading this morning in my latest Mother Earth News, “It’s amazing how time flies when you’re having fun, working hard, and making a difference”; I couldn’t agree more fully.
