After two Decades in the study and practice of medicine, I took a three-month sabbatical to search for a way to feel good again. Having witnessed human suffering early in my career and within my own family, I longed for a way to address more than just the physical needs of patients and to live a lighter, more conscious way. I'll be sharing a bit about my bewildering vocational shift from physician to shamanic healer. Ultimately, I discovered an entirely different way of healing, one that I had always aspired to.
Sarah Bamford Seidelmann was a physician living a nature-starved, hectic lifestyle until a walrus entered her life and changed everything. She has trained at the Martha Beck Institute and Michael Harner's Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and is author of Swimming with Elephants (Conari Press, 2017) and The Book of Beasties: Your A to A Guide to the Illuminating Wisdom of Spirit Animals. (Souds True 2018). She lives in Northern Minnesota. For more, visit followyourfeelgood.com.

A Trilogy of Treats at the MN Landscape Arboretum  By Rachel Loeslie
This past fall I was pleasantly surprised to see several new additions to the arboretum. It was my first trip there in warm weather since 2015. I went with a few friends on one of the hottest days in September with temps in the 80's casting a warm wind on our faces the whole hike through. Just near the end of our walk, we stumbled upon the origami garden, which opened in Sept of 2017. It provided the perfect place to take a rest and meditate in the tranquility of the Peony Pavilion surrounded by water reflecting the sun and welcoming the birds for a bath.
 To capture the magnificent moments in the Chinese garden, you'll see me standing next to one of the Qinling Mountain rocks. There are three total magnificent rocks that symbolize mountains-a special gift from the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government, in central China.
 The Bing Dr agon was breath taking. In Chinese mythology, Dragons are protectors and guardian spirits, Bing is a 10-foot tall steel coiled Dragon created by artist Dale Lewis of Hastings, MN, who peers at a red gazing ball, which represents the item, person or location being protected.
 The tree and shrub exhibit was another magical spot. We found shade from the sun by standing underneath this massive tree where we were able to meditate while standing inside the belly of this beauty. It felt so energizing to gaze up at all the large limbs and branches surrounding us while feeling grounded in the trees massive old roots.
 And last but not least, another new favorite feature was the permanent new sculpture garden that boasts 23 world-class massive sculptures of granite, copper, stainless steel and marble. This marks the most dramatic way the Arboretum has expanded its attractions beyond greenery.
I highly recommend taking some time this winter, spring or fall to get out to the Arboretum to experience the magic of nature, art and culture all in one place. The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is more than 1,200 acres of gardens and tree collections, prairie and woods and miles of trails. As a premier northern garden, the Arboretum was born out of the University of Minnesota Horticultural Research Center and established in 1958, with the Men's Garden Club of Minneapolis, Lake Minnetonka Garden Club, Minnesota State Horticultural Society and other community supporters creating the Arboretum as a gift to the University of Minnesota. |
