Flowers are better than bullets
As Kent State be humming with crucial pertinence, for us all now, we welcome Laurel Krause, the sister of Allison Krause, who was murdered that day. For the last 20 years Laurel Krause has made her home at the Allison Center for Peace on the Mendocino coast of Northern California. Her sister Allison was one of the ‘Four Dead in Ohio,’ killed as she protested the Vietnam War in the May 4, 1970 Kent State Massacre. On the 40th anniversary, Laurel co-founded the Kent State Truth Tribunal at www.TruthTribunal.org. On Substack, read Laurel’s Peace on the Mendocino Coast and check out her blog MendoCoastCurrent.

Good Medicine and Rewilding
Caroline welcomes Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue (encore encore) with his ally, Jesse Wolf Hardin, conjurer of the Good Medicine Confluence,
who writes: “I came to herbs through my early organizing of Earth First and work with animists from Terry Tempest and Metzner to Oberon Zell, and the rants that herbalists bear from me now are like those given in front of forest service headquarters and at bedazzled pagan gatherings. The world/civilization has never been closer to self destructive madness than now, culture never so diluted and commercialized, and damn, few destroyers truly enjoying themselves in the process. Herbalism is just one language for the crucial call to come back to wild self, healing mission, beauty and pleasure. You are clearly an agent of the same, with a not dissimilar dialect.”
Jesse Wolf Hardin is an influential author, ecosopher, ecological and societal activist, personal counsel, graphic artist, musician, and historian – a champion of both human and bio diversity, as well as of nature’s medicines. Wolf was a leading organizer of and presenter for Earth First!, becoming a featured presenter at hundreds of conferences and universities, and was the creator of cross cultural ecospiritual collaborations appropriately called “Medicine Shows” that melded his powerful spoken word with live music, indigenous presenters, and focused activism. He cofounded the international Good Medicine Confluence gathering in 2008, along with the in-depth digital magazine for herbalists, healers and folklorists Plant Healer Quarterly. He is the author of over 800 published articles in over 200 different publications, as well as of over 25 books.
Good Medicine Conference, July 10-13th Durango, Colorado – Inspiration, Herbal Education, Impassioned Celebration: www.goodmedicineconfluence.com
Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue is an herbalist, writer, and teacher, and an initiated Priest in two traditions. He lives in the mountains of western Maine. Seán’s approach to healing weaves together the insights of traditional western herbalism and contemporary science. He regards physical, spiritual, and emotional healing as deeply intertwined. Prior to becoming an herbalist, Seán was a political organizer in movements for peace, human rights, and global economic justice, and a freelance journalist documenting the human and ecological impacts of U.S. policies in Latin America.

Remembering, Re-Storying
Greg Sarris (credit Christopher Coughlin)
Caroline re-welcomes Greg Sarris, Chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria
and Board Chair for Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. Always – re-storying the landscape…
His most recent work:
Told in the classic style of Southern Pomo and Coast Miwok creation stories, The Forgetters story cycle about the people who have forgotten their roots and consequently hurt the Earth and each other. Masterfully infusing magical realism with the history of Indigenous lands, Sarris encourages readers to remember our shared lineage and honor our interconnectedness with the environment.
Greg Sarris is the award-winning author of five books, including Grand Avenue, which was adapted into an HBO film. He also co-authored the Graton Rancheria Restoration Act, which restored federal recognition to the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo Native Americans of California.

Biomimicry (from the Archives)
“Biomimicry,” as sine qua non for life on planet… that humans humbly cooperate with Nature’s guiding design Genius
Again we are drawn to replay this most fantabulous show from the archives with Janine Benyus.
Benyus describes herself as “Scientist, animist, poet,” founder of Biomimicry Institute.
“Let’s learn democracy from bees! Before our arrogance destroys the bees, who truly know how to vote.”
“Range voting.” Grief and ingenuity…innovation & limits
From Fall 2008 – but so powerfully pertinent to now…
