Fundraising 
Got  an idea for a fundraising event, such as a garage sale, car cleaning, 
bake  sale?  Contact _publicity at ardantane.org_ (mailto:publicity at ardantane.org) 
,  and we'll advertise it here. 
Right now the bank owns most of Ardantane's land: 25 acres  in the gorgeous 
Red Rocks area of northern New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains, with  National Forest 
on two sides. 
By raising $120,000 we can pay off the bank mortgage and  save about $60,000 
in interest over the next few years.   Once we buy out the remaining staff 
shares (interest-free!), then the whole  thing will belong to Ardantane, Inc. – 
and to all of us in the Pagan  community, and to our children, and our 
descendants.

What:  Plant  Medicine: Spring and Summer Herbs 
Sponsor:  School of  Healing Arts 
When:  Sat-Sun  May 12-13 
Where:  Ardantane 
Instructors:  Connie Henry  & Amy Immel 
This is first of 3 classes in  plant medicine. These 3 classes will focus on 
our western heritage of use and  growing of herbs for medicine and for food. 
This class will specifically focus  on our spring & summer herbals: cooling 
summer herbs, detox herbs, soups,  teas, baths, and cooling sprays. We will 
dialogue about the history of herbal  use involving many western cultures with a 
rich source of self-care and ritual  through out the ages. Seasonal herbs will 
be covered in the Materia Medica as  well as herbal identification, storage and 
preservation. This class is a part of  the Healing Arts certificate program. 
The written Standards of Practice for the  Healing Arts Herbalist will be 
reviewed.   There will be further  discussion of how these Standards contribute to 
the basics of an ethical herbal  practice.  Each class in Plant Medicine will 
stress aspects of plant  medicine for the home, for self-health, and to 
assure that information will  exist for future generations to come.

Professional Herbalist and as well  as a mental health and substance abuse
