Hey friends and family! I am looking for a quiet haven to work, write and commune with nature. If you or someone you know, has a cabin, house or apartment that ...is empty and they are open to allowing an artist/herbalist to house sit, or rent for a reasonable price ... please let me know! Wifi isn't absolutely important. DM me! See more

Peppermint Lip Balm I’ve been making this lip balm (with revisions along the way) since 1989!! It’s very pepper-minty and really does the trick for chapped lips. ... If I have chapped lips ... I basically cake the lip balm on right before going to bed ... and by morning .... V O I L A Chapped lips are gone:) #lipbalm #herballipbalm #sweetsong #sweetsongherbals #ptbomaker #ptbomakers #ontariomaker #canadianherbalist #lakefieldontario #peterboroughontario #ptboontario #slowliving #homemakingmomma #peppermintlipbalm #infusedoil #naturalbeauty

Sweet Fern Today I am garbling my Sweet Fern harvest. .... . Garbling refers to a method is herbalists use to separate the leaves and stems of our dried plants. . . This is part of the prep work we do to store our medicines for the winter. Have you ever garbled your herbs? It’s a pretty funny word isn’t it?? #sweetfern #garbling #garbleaves #garble #funnywords #sweetsongherbals #sweetsong #herbalist #herbalistsofinstagram #lakefield #ontarionaturelover #wildcraft #wildcrafting #localptbo #downtownptbo #ptbolove #nativeplantsofontario

Loving the season.

As a child my dreams ran wild ... Through fields of disobey Wandering, wandering Wanting it all... A curious soul astray I ran with a passionate story I ran for the wisdom and glory Away, away I ran As a child my dreams ran wild ~ Hem I’m Aryn, the trail blazing nature nerd, behind Sweet Song I am a big dreamer, an idealist in many ways. Spending time in nature grounds me and infuses me with its wonderful SLOWNESS. My mind is often running way to fast .. so many ideas, lots of projects, lots of goals and things on the go. When I go for a walk in the Forest (or marsh ha ha ) everything just slows down beautifully. Walking in nature is my therapy, it’s my meditation, and it’s my church. #natureismychurch #natureloverforlife #hem #dreamersofinstagram #canadianherbalist #peterboroughontario #lakefieldontario #sweetsong #sweetsongherbals #treelovers #ptbokawarthas #studentofnature #ptbomakers #learningherbs #wildcraftingherbs #plantmedicine #natureconnection #quietingthemind #ptbolocal

I’ve had an amazing time wildcrafting these last few weeks. One highlight was finding Mooz mish - Striped Maple. #wildcrafting #stripedmaple

Enjoy this beautiful wildflower tea while it is blooming! https://sweetsong.ca/how-to-make-goldenrod-tea/

This was a massive betula that was mounted by a massive cedar ... the roots told so many stories.

Eerie but beautiful still water.

Joellen and I had a beautiful two day adventure.

I’m loving the season.
