Learning About Grass

Forager Mark teaches us a bit about the benefits of using grass.

What better knowledge can we have than to learn about the plants that are all around us?

The healing properties of grass

Please check out our amazing list of books on our website. The majority have been recommended by our members. We’ve added others because we love them or the reviews were so good we had to add them. Every book you buy on Amazon raises a bit of money for Joinavision and all goes to helping continue what we do as well as supporting community-based projects.

A Book on Poetry

On one of my many book searches I came across this beautifully titled book.

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

It caught my eye, not just because of the title, but because of the reviews. One in particular stood out:

“I haven’t read this slowly for years and years. Lots of re-reading and much quiet thought. A remarkable man, not easy, very challenging but well worth the effort. Takes the reader away from our consumer culture to something very profound, the transcendence of the self. Whitman tells you to carefully examine all that you have been told and to dismiss what insults your soul. Lots of thinking and reflecting needed.”

It resonated with everything we’re doing at Joinavision so I had to add it to our book list.
