From Director, Claire: 11/24/09. The Natural Way Blog is currently under construction. Please stand by! We will have new content soon to keep you willing and wise.
WHEN YOU FELLOW jumpers think about what Shejumps inspires you to accomplish, it is to take the necessary risks in order to accomplish your greatest dreams. Shejumps teaches us how to become empowered through our experiences in the outdoors. The Natural Way is an extension of that inspiration, but instead of taking a primarily athletic focus, this method of empowerment focuses on foundational outdoor living skills necessary to sustain your health. So no longer are we just using the backcountry as a tool for athletic growth, but also as a way to provide nourishment for our bodies and heal our pains.
The intention of the Natural Way blog is to teach jumpers how to utilize multiple natural therapies to help heal problems they may face when dealing with their challenges as athletes, musicians, artists, teachers, etc. The general structure of each entry will include dialogue centered around healing and current inspirations, as well as an herb of the week detailed profile, seasonal food recipe, and a topic related to holistic healing. Therapies and topics I will be focusing on include but are not limited to: herbal medicine, whole food nutrition, yoga and meditation, chakra energy healing, women’s health and fertility awareness, and seasonal living. Another major focus of this blog is to educate jumpers on how to live a more sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle. Certain skills I wish to teach all those seeking include but are not limited to: gardening, edible plant and mushroom identification, wilderness medicine, and herbal medicine making. —Evan Berry, Natural Healer
