After a break of 1 year I am finally back with another episode of the podcast! yah! A lot has happened and it is a joy to sit and record this podcast in our newly clayed house.

On this episode we went into our garden and sat with Calendula (Marigold, Morgenfrue, Ringelblume) for a conversation about Healing and Calendula.

Calendula is truly a master healer plant and it is such a pleasure to have it growing all over our garden. We work with it in so many ways. In this episode we dive what lays beyond the physical properties and more about how our own personal healing journeys have been guided and transformed with Calendula.

We hope it will inspire and open doors for you into the magical realms of the healing plants.
