The Art and Science of Gemmotherapy: The Complete Guide - Lauren Hubele

Hubele, Lauren: - For Lauren, the study of Gemmotherapy has been more than a career-it has been a lifelong journey, full of discovery, adventure, and purpose. It has taken her across continents, introduced her to extraordinary people, and allowed her to coach hundreds of families and practitioners in both Europe and the U.S. Every time she thinks her work with Gemmotherapy has reached its conclusion, a new chapter unfolds. The latest? The cultivation of the Gemmo Forest. What began as an intended hands-on classroom to teach Gemmotherapy has grown into something larger-a plant and tree nursery, educational outreach programs, and a grassroots initiative encouraging neighborhoods to replace their lawns with herb and vegetable gardens.Lauren's life now follows the rhythm of the land. From spring through fall, she can be found outdoors, hands in the dirt, working alongside her husband, Joachim, to tend their 7,500-square-foot family garden or with local volunteers caring for Gemmo Forest. Summers bring the joy of an annual family farm camp when all three of their adult children gather to help harvest. Lauren especially cherishes this time with her granddaughter, Rowan, fostering in her the spirit of reciprocity with nature. When the cold sets in and the fields rest, Lauren returns indoors, where she rekindles her love of writing by the wood stove, always with her calico, Ruby, curled close by.
