DirtTime.org was created as an information hub and sounding board for all individuals seeking to live close to the heartbeat of the earth. The page started with a focus on nature observation, primitive skills, tracking, herbalism and survival. It then expanded to encompass other topics such as health and wellness, physical fitness and spirituality, all aspects of living as conscious, connected human beings, supporting one another in digging deeper to uncover many hidden layers of truth.
ABOUT YAEL
Yael has been working with independent print media since she started self-publishing at the age of twelve. She has taught packed-room workshops on media bias, propaganda and media literacy. She has done research for Corporate Watch UK. Her writing has been featured in a very wide variety of publications, most recently including Sacred Fire magazine and the Crossfit Journal. Yael has proofread both books and magazines and spent two years serving as a National Correspondent for the now-defunct Blue Jean Magazine. She is available for editing, proofreading and writing–quality work at silly prices. Contact her for details.
A graduate of Shimer College, Yael will be teaching 7th grade reading in the fall.
In addition to book geekiness, Yael is also an admitted plant geek who has studied herbalism both formally and informally for the past eight years. She learned herbal first aid through workshops at the Chicago College of Healing Arts, was a docent at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, completed a four-month permaculture internship living in a tent in the desert, studied at the Sonoran Herbal Institute and took online courses through the California School of Hispanic Herbalism. She’s been to tons of workshops, plant walks and primitive skills gathering and put in her own dirt time studying plant medicine from books, wise old women and men on the reservation, and from the plants themselves. Lately she’s been making lots of lip balms, salves, liniments and bath salts both for clients that need some pampering and for martial artists who need to get back in the game.
Yael lives in Tucson and is developing a newfound obsession with Olympic weightlifting to complement her martial arts obsession. She spends a lot of time in the gym. Yael is always looking for new climbing partners, writing partners, martial arts training partners, workout buddies, e-mail buddies and people to go on long adventures with. You should e-mail her!
