Maxx and Toby each bring over a decade of professional teaching experience to their work at Wolf Hill Press. More recently they've begun teaching workshops together on lunar gardening and related topics.

Join them as they share an overview of the history, vocabulary, principles, and mechanics of gardening by the moon. Built on a foundation of science, traditional knowledge, and reverence for the moon, this presentation will provide attendees with an overview of the moon's phases and zodiac cycles and their impact on the growing, harvesting, and seedsaving of vegetables, fruit, flowers, and herbs.

Lunar gardening has been practiced in many times and places worldwide. Our knowledge comes from— and this workshop focuses on—the aspect known as planting by the signs of the European and European-American farming traditions, and the farming technologies of historical and contemporary Haudenosaunee experts in lunar gardening and seedsaving.

"Did you know homeopathy isn't only for people? Let's talk about pets and plants too!"

I have been working with Homeopathy for over 17 years and over 7 years with Neurofeedback. I have a Masters of Social Work degree from Syracuse University.

I came to homeopathy when I felt like I was losing the struggle with gut health. I was born with digestive issues that typically came and went until they just stayed and were getting worse. As a social worker I knew about working with emotions and thoughts, as an energy healer I knew how to ground and move energy but homeopathy allowed me to understand how to work with my system in an integrated way. I understood this was the work I was born to do.

What I am most passionate about is listening to others and providing a space where they can make connections about their life, health and well-being. I have been blessed with many wonderful listeners in my life and realize the gifts listening offers to all of us.

All of the modalities I offer are very individualized in that they recognize that we are all unique. They allow us each to start where we are and move at our own pace through healing and learning.
