Native Eyes – The Secret of Rose Hips

January 10, 2010

We spotted these tiny little wonders, walking through 14 inches of snow on one of the pathways we use for our Edible Plants walks and Native Eyes Trainings.

Rose Hips: If you know where to look, and EXACTLY what to look for, they are plentiful, even in the middle of winter. They are high in vitamin C, and will keep you healthy, strong, and warm, when you steep them in hot water and make tea.

Your entire life will transform, as you learn the 7 basic Native Wisdom teachings we share in our trainings.  Here is one to remember, “What you need, always grows close to your home.” The secret is, you’ve got to know what to look for. How many people would walk right past these amazing gifts?

As I sit here this morning, enjoying a nice cup of Rose Hip tea, I can’t help but give thanks for the elders and mentors who shared their knowledge and wisdom with me, and for the elders of the future, who come here to learn these wisdom traditions.

I hope to share more with you, and see you soon at a Native Eyes Training in Pennsylvania.
