[Sacred Succulents] Auction Fundraiser closes tonight

[Sacred Succulents]

	The current PLANT MINI-AUCTION FUNDRAISER closes this evening at 6:00
pm PST, Sunday, April 30th. 
Due to the recent winter adversities and losses, a _number of plants
will only be available via auction this year, and many of the
species/clones currently up for auction will only be available this
listing_. See partway down our homepage for the auction terms and
listings: www.sacredsucculents.com
Please read the full terms before bidding. _All bids should be
directed to our other email:_ benkamm at monitor.net   
We honor the email bids as first come first serve, so  if we don’t
respond right away—do not worry, we will honor your bid in  the
order/time it was received. Towards the end of the auction can get
hectic  and we may not be able to notify you in a timely manner if
you’ve been  outbid during this last phase – so the last hour we
recommend checking the website  periodically to see the current high
bids. _After the auction closes you will be contacted by  email late
evening or the following morning for the auction plants you  have
won_. We ship auction plants within a few days of receiving payment. 
Know  that auction purchases directly fund nursery repairs and
renovations as  well as our continual research and conservation work. 
     

	               Our Specimen Plant List is updated for April, see just
below the auction on the homepage.

	Note: New _retail_  orders (plants/seeds from our catalog PDFs) will
not ship until later this summer. _See the top of our homepage for our
2023 retail shipping schedule. _The exception to this limited shipping
schedule for the year is: _books, Specimen List Plants_, and _Auction
Plants_—these orders we will continue to ship throughout the year as
they are received.

	           Upcoming Event:                 

	Our close compadre, Matt Magee, is teaching a one-day workshop at    
  The Alembic in Berkeley, CA, May 14:
https://www.livingtheceremony.com/ancestral-conversations
       About the workshop: 
              _For most of history, human beings lived immersed in the
        elements. Our senses were stretched out in a vast open        
landscape; every plant, animal, and insect served to link us        
more directly to this spacious animated field. Living this way        
produced qualities of alertness and awareness that unfortunately      
  do not easily translate into our lives today. Without these        
ancient forms of awareness, we lose access to many of         the
essential resources of guidance and connection that have        
shaped our health, spirit, and well-being for millennia. __This
day-long             intensive is an invitation to rejoin these
ancient             conversations. Participants will learn simple__
techniques             to __cultivate                their senses and
reclaim ancestral forms of             heightened awareness,
__connection,             and nourishment.  _
       Matt has devoted his life to studying curanderismo, the
immanent       wisdom of the natural world and the ecology of the
sacred. Author       of the seminal book _Peruvian Shamanism: The
Pachakuti Mesa,_       Matt has been a key member of our Andean
expeditions and       co-teacher of our ethnobiology field courses.
One of his many       gifts as a teacher is his capacity to share
‘spiritual’ concepts       in an accessible and practical manner;
building cultural bridges       and facilitating the integration of
traditional knowledge and       practices into modern life. 
       Matt has created a series of fascinating and useful online     
 courses: https://www.livingtheceremony.com/courses       He is also
available for private sessions (in-person & online)       to
personally offer his uniquely diverse knowledge, mentorship,       and
guidance: https://www.livingtheceremony.com/private-sessions

	            New book available for order:            GROWING         
   PLANT MEDICINE: Volume 1
          by Richo Cech illustrations by Sena Cech
           Brand new book from master plantsman Richo Cech, a         
 much-expanded version of the his classic _The Medicinal            
Herb Grower_. Draws on the author’s lifetime of          
cultivating and living with an amazing diversity of medicinal         
 plants. Pretty much everything you need to know about natural        
  organic gardening techniques, from seed to harvest, for a          
great majority of healing herbs. Newly augmented with          
bioregional medicinal plant recommendations, garden plans and         
 materia medica. Arranged by plant families, alphabetically by        
  kinship and common name—covers families A through H. Volume 2,    
      which is in production, will cover the rest of the alphabet.    
      This is hands down the best reference for medicinal plant       
   cultivation there is. Delightfully illustrated by Richo’s        
  daughter Sena, full of personal anecdotes and life stories—not    
      only useful, this book is a joy to read!
