Gather with Lucia Hawkins for a guided adventure into organoleptics; attuning our bodies with Plants, practicing skills, and sharing wisdoms, just like Earth Mother teaches us. Partakers will feel more enchanted, and empowered, along the many paths of centering intimate relations with The Plants. Meraki Farmacy

Applications for summer school with Lu and The Plants are now LIVE!
Reserve your dates for dynamic, enchanting, empowering experiential education delivered right to your door thanks to Mobile Meraki!

I have always been a teacher and access includes education. This is foundational to MF. While working for several years as logistics - equipment - curriculum manager and lead instructor for Mad Science of southern MA and RI, I gained so much experience about interagency, multigenerational, community based education.

From there I was part of the programming AND farm team for a working, regenerative ag, educational farm in Vermont.

For 28 years I have been humbled and very proud to be
An Educator. Teachers are amazing, aren't they? Learning never ends, thankfully!

As I continue to carve my own 11 year trail of lots of specialized skills all centering Land and Families, Learning and Healing poured into Meraki Farmacy, and informed by traveling all over the state, some things continue to be crystal clear:

We the People need and want

- third spaces to gather : it's not work, church, school, or commerce centered

- to have hands on experience, in person, with Plants, facilitated by someone who LIVES the practice

- more options for herbal education than the focus on foraging and remedy making, for a well rounded and deeply rooted education that holds the wider implications of how we relate to Land, and each other

- Communities of Practice ---- where a diverse group is co-created by shared values of sharing skills, solving problems, working cooperatively

If you are working on these same things and want to collaborate,

If you are a business owner - client - colleague who has a place to host and cross pollinate our peoples,

If you are curious and interested,

If you keep saying "I gotta do this" but think it's too _____ (far, hard, whatever: PLEASE let me decide that. Just fill out the form!!!!)

If you are anywhere in PA, especially the areas of the PA Wilds, Laurel Highlands,

Just give the 7 minutes to read and fill out this form so we can keep growing, learning, healing, together.

I didn’t find another place to be for my dates ligoniercountrymarket because I didn’t think I’d need a back up plan for a 50 year producers market that brings in farmers from several outside counties, and visitors from all over. Ya know. For Food grown by People for People, without poison. And bakers who baked it. And makers who made it. And Herbalists who actually grow the Plants they work with. All these people are our neighbors, community, survival, and meaningful relationships. It’s even like a village. People you trust with the health of your family.

Is this not a sacred and holy thing?

I guess I just couldn’t imagine a situation where it would be seemingly impossible to find a home for a beautiful farmers market after being pushed out of their lease.

Silly me!

I was busy trusting, sowing, growing, teaching, seeing clients, helping families, taking on *another* job *again*, formulating, providing therapeutics and hoping this 11th year is not my last being able to offer these invaluable services, without reliable income at all. Lolz. Insanity.

Living out of township and gossip mill, I had no idea the Present existence of the market, community, village , was this precarious.

My heart and spirit continue to be in great pain for all us FARMERS feeding FAMILIES.

We unfortunately will not see you for opening weekend May 16th.

I continue to try and find appropriate places that support an organic, regenerative herb farm in PA and why that is difficult is another complex issue, mostly due to people’s perceptions, value systems, and other relational things like scarcity mindset - competition > cooperation because of fear.

We must be organized, strategic, and unified.

Period.

If you are more interested in solutions, responding to food and health crisis in meaningful ways cooperatively,
If you want MOBILE MERAKI delivered to you
If you want to purchase Herbs from Herb Farmers
If you want to come to other events where I’m also teaching
If you wanna give and take care of each other
