Meet Melanie
I remember sitting in the library as a child listening to a story, Strega Nona. A book literally meaning “Grandma Witch”. She sings a magic song to stop pasta from overtaking a town. She was known for her healing and medicine making abilities. That girl, me, has grown but still connects with this character. Like Strega Nona I am a witch of sorts, conjuring up medicine and cooking neat and new foods.
A clear early camp memory I have is harvesting dandelion leaves and making a melted cheese to go on them. Today you can find me making dandelion pasta, fritters, or making dandelion deviled eggs. Recently when I was asked what plant exemplifies me I said dandelion because it is resilient, powerful, and has so much unknown and enormous abilities to heal. I love to teach about nature's wonders and connect others with plants for they have so many gifts to offer us if we only listen. I had however become very disconnected from myself and nature for years. I was living a toxic lifestyle in New York City resulting in a host of digestive and irritable bowel issues. In 2013 a radical shift happened with a life-changing experience.
