In this heartwarming episode, Linda and Betty sit down with longtime friend and herbalist Gudrun of Mount Pleasant Herbary in Honesdale, PA. Together, they explore Gudrun’s journey from the Black Forest of Germany to rural Pennsylvania, where she’s built a beloved community hub filled with handcrafted teas, salves, soaps, and more. Gudrun shares her insights on sustainable herbalism, Reiki-infused plant care, and the slow, intentional growth of her business—from farmers markets to Main Street.

We talk about:
– How childhood memories can plant lifelong passions
– The healing power of calendula (and a really good teacup)
– Building a life and a business aligned with nature
– Why hands-on workshops are more needed than ever

This week, Linda and Sally explore one of the most essential and overlooked forces in our lives: water.

In this soulful, story-rich episode, the Crones wade into the sacred, emotional, and energetic aspects of water—how it shapes the land, nurtures our bodies, holds memory, and even responds to intention. Drawing from science (Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water crystal studies), personal ritual, and ancestral traditions, they share reflections, stories, and a powerful water blessing practice you can try at home.

You’ll hear about sacred wells, dolphin encounters, moon rituals, and ceremonies that balance masculine and feminine energies in young people—all rooted in our deep connection with water. Plus, you’ll learn how to charge your own water with loving intention and experience the difference for yourself.

If you're feeling thirsty for connection, transformation, or just a little magic—this episode is for you.

Highlights:

• Reverence for water in spiritual and daily life
• A guided water blessing technique
• Childhood and adult water ceremonies
• Emotional resonance of water and its healing potential
• Reflections on the role of water in building relationship and community

Don’t forget to share your own water stories with us—we’d love to hear how you honor the flow in your life.
