 Rosemary Gladstar, with Emily Ruff, at Medicines from the Edge March 2015, Costa Rica  Founded by Rosemary Gladstar and family over 28 years ago, Sage Mountain Retreat Center & Native Plant Preserve is one of New England’s foremost learning centers for herbs and earth awareness. Located on 500 wilderness acres in central Vermont, this beautiful piece of Earth Mother is a natural sanctuary and teaching site. There is an incredible assortment of wild herbs and flowers growing in habitats that vary from meadows, forest to swamp. Our wild neighbors include deer, bear, moose, beavers, bobcat, otters, fox and a wonderful variety of feathered folk that honor us with their presence. Our facilities are simple, rustic and comfortable and provide a relaxing and beautiful place for participants to learn.  Though the knowledge and wisdom shared at our many programs and events has been outstanding and has helped fuel the ‘herbal renaissance’, the teachings have been far more than just informational in nature.  Rich in spirit, they’ve nourished the heart as well as the mind.  Through an ever-growing network with other herbalists and herbal programs/events around the country, we have built a strong green community and have created an interface with other traditions of healing while at the same time keeping an earth-based herbal tradition alive and thriving in this country. Often referred to as an herbal renaissance or resurgence, we have witnessed the interest in herbal and natural healing grow extraordinarily and exponentially in the past few years…. thank you for being part of this growing green movement that is transforming modern health and health care in this country.  www.sagemountain.com

The word SONGS is our common intention for today’s Earth contemplation.

This video shows real images of the Earth from Monday June 15, 2020, captured by the NASA/DSCOVR satellite located 1 million miles away.

We live on a singing planet. Billions of years ago, the creation of the atmosphere allowed the possibility of sound (no sound in the cosmic void). Sounds were mainly geological (volcanoes, rocks cracking) and meteorological (storms, rains, winds). When life appeared, new sounds appeared with the emergence of the vegetal world (sounds of the wind in leaves), and then living creatures in the sea, on the ground or in the sky, started to make noise when they were walking, digging, flapping their wings. Then creatures started to produce sounds in purpose, to get protected, to seduce others, to get identifiied (chicks of emperor penguins can recognize the vocal signature of their parents in colonies of 10 000 birds), to communicate and create social communities.

These sounds then magically led to singing, organized and harmonious sound creations, for certain species: marine mammals, frogs and toads and insects. It is not known precisely when humans started to sing, probably initially to imitate nature. Remains of bone flutes were found in Lascaux and Chauvet caves, 40 000 years ago.

Former broadway performer Frolic Taylor said ““People use song as a way to release emotional pain and connect with their souls”. This is very clear when you hear the voice of Yael Naim in her song “Heaven” composed for our Mother Earth on OneHome.

Our entire planet is singing, when will we start hearing her singing and connect with her soul? This is one of the dreams of the OneHome project.
