64: WEAVING COMMUNITY AT SKYDOG FARM WITH KATHERINE FOTIADES
In this episode of Waking Up With Melissa Ruiz, I welcome a very special guest, Katherine Fotiades. She is the owner of Skydog Farm, an artist, educator, community weaver, and, as it turns out, my first Harvest Host on my van life adventure! From the wonders of plant medicine, to an intimate reflection on The Rainbow Gathering, all the way to the life-changing impact of the Ram Dass Fellowship, listen in as Katherine takes us down her inspiring decades-long journey as a community weaver!
What to watch for:
-[01:20] How immersion in the New Age movement in the 90s led Katherine to Skydog Farm

-[6:20] Cultivating our spirituality with plant medicine
Words to live by:
"We are unique and we all are that one limitless light and energy and thing that is nameless."
"We need to know that weβre not apart from nature, but that we are nature."
"We work to become enlightened not for ourselves, but for all of humanity."
