ABSTRACT
Here are Tips to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds, a key to Outgrowing GMOs. Inspirations for this story include the March Against Monsanto #MAM San Diego, Balboa Park, May 23, 2015 where I spoke and said we are #RareSeeds receiving Nature's Blessings as we grow Heirloom Seeds. Jere Gettle, founder of the Baker Creek Heirloom 1600 variety @RareSeed collection; LA's Ron Finley, guerrilla gardener; Kamut International's Bob Quinn; David Bronner, of ALL ONE Dr Bronner; Gurdeep Stephens of Nature's Path; and Walt Robb of Whole Foods Market are singled out as #RareSeeds who have influenced my experiences in San Diego growing the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost. Stabilizing my home community in June & July, I project to be on the road for parts of August & September toward the National Heirloom Expo September 8-10, Santa Rosa, CA. Traveling in my 68 VW Van, The Enchanted Garden Mobile's Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds I award Heirloom Expo World's Pure Food Fair Blue Ribbons & and write about Rare Seeds who are inspiring 1000 years of Peace. My visits include Whole Foods Markets & Farmers Markets. I post my Non GMO, Organic, and Fair Trade Shopping Guide photos to FB.
BIO NOTE MAY 20, 2015
Leslie Goldman, "Your Enchanted Gardener," Plants Seeds of Success for super Ripe People and their Dreams. Leslie is a noted ceremonialist in the eyes of Mother Earth and a full time blogger. He records his ongoing activities and mystical adventures on the Plant Your Dream Curezone (13 million page views) and he writes about his Projects and Sponsors as part of the Non GMO, Organic & Fair Trade Shopping Guide on Plant Your Dream Word Press (1 million page + views).
Leslie travels in a 1968 Volkwagen van, a celebrity in her own right. A conversation starter, this classic 68 is on The Enchanted Garden Mobile's Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds. Leslie is called California's Johnnie Appleseed. Their mission--he and his vehicle- is to alert Rare Seeds, individuals living out their soul purpose, to the power that comes from growing out original heirloom seeds. Growing these seeds honors biodiversity of the gene pool and keeps vibrant the unique cultural history in each seed. Growing these seeds reconnects us to our own #RareSeed nature and showers us with plant Blessings.
Leslie is equally inspired tending a few Seed Dreams of his own and others on the 1/3 acre land he shares with others within walking distance of San Diego State University. He names the property an Enchanted Garden intentional Community and its latest projects is the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost and its centerpiece, the #SacredSuccessCircle where he tend dreams.
A long time Food Activist working with local organic farmers in San Diego. In 2015, he intends to again travel as he did in 2012-2013-2014 to be a teacher at the National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa, a gathering place for #RareSeed Seed Freedom advocates.
His introduction to health principles came with training from Dr. Bernard Jensen (1908-2001), an elder in the natural healing arts who inspired him to "Keep The Dream Alive!" That dream is that natural healing and natural health is possible befriending Nature's Original Technology. Leslie is equally inspired by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely (1905-1979), co-founder of Rancho La Puerta, that began as the Essene School of Life around WW2. Both men introduced him to a foundation in health that bridges centuries of understanding the ways of nature.
Food Reform in America
Leslie's current work is dedicated to Food Reform in America through seeing ancient wheat, Job's Tears, and other heirloom plant friends as teachers. He is cultivating a grassroots movement that is Outgrowing GMO through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds. As a ceremonial, Leslie's personal testimonial is that we are in an emphatic relationship to nature and her plants. The influence of plants as well as our behavior impacts climate. This can include bringing rain even in the midst of drought when we acknowledge seeds as sacred and when we plant them with intention.
The umbrella for Winning Back Our Seeds is his Grow A Healthier Pizza Campaign. and his out reach in his 68 VW Van. The Enchanted Garden Mobiles Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds.
2015 Campaign Projects that guide his journey include Seed Dreams to advance Open Access to Food for All, and Open Access to Food for All Pollinators. At home, he roots the dream for The Enchanted Garden Intentional Community through Projects that include the Enchanted Garden Rare Seeds Outpost, and The Enchanted Garden Pantry, The Pantry introduces and cheerleads for sponsor's products he uses and recommends; Their popularity advances Outgrowing GMOs through creating communities of interest in these beneficial contributions from Rare Seeds. His neighbor community includes nearby San Diego State University where his dream is to increasingly work with the e3 "cream of the crop" environmental advocate students, as well as selected on-campus and off-campus athletes who use the facilities.
His outreach in San Diego includes weekly work at the Farmers' Market, primarily the Hillcrest Farmers Market, Sundays 9-2 pm, and he supports the College Avenue Farmers' Market, Wednesdays 3-7 pm, within a block of my home.
Leslie was given a United Nations Peace Medal for the work he would do in his lifetime by then Under-Secretary general Robert Muller around 1983. That work continues as he openly blogs about his personal journey, breakdowns transformed into breakthroughs, and campaigns to inspire the awareness that we are ALL ONE love, growing in the same pot, HIs inspiration has touched many.
The book "The Ultimate Gardener," The Best Experts’ Advice for Cultivating a Magnificent Garden with Photos and Stories (HCI, 2009) credits him with six photos. The dedication says, "“To Leslie Goldman, The Enchanted Gardener, for planting dreams and seeds of inspiration. To all those who garden and for those who dream to have a garden one day.”
His deep passion to influence the growing out of biodiverse culture is focused through his work with the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection and its Northern California home, the Petaluma Seed Bank. The Baker Creek collection contains more than 1600 @RareSeeds varieties that belong in the hands of Rare Seed gardeners.
As Rare Seeds grow these varieties, we reawaken our awareness that the Earth and the Soul are Soil mates so Plant Your Dream, says Your Enchanted Gardener. Leslie Goldman.
TIPS FOR WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS AND IN DOING DO, OUTGROWING GMOS
Thank Your For Being a Rare Seed in the World
Thank you for being a Rare Seed in the World. Thank you for aspiring to live in the Enchanted Garden, a name for our renewed Earth that grows one Sacred Seed at a time, one dream at a time. Somehow, be it because some food manufacturers knew no better than to make a living off of our living, We, the People, our offspring, and the ideal of Sacred government created to serve ALL ONE Love became at the effect of bankrupt bought and paid for popular culture divorced from soul and nature. We have gotten stuck in these manufacturers Pizza Boxes; and so I ask you, please, take your Sacred Rare Seed out of the Pizza Box and Plant Your Dream! Plant Your Dream with Rare Seeds and you help keep the dream alive of bio-diverse cultures. Plant according to the principles of Nature's Original Technology and you will be living your life as a super ripe success, as an an asset in the eyes of Mother Earth and her intended bio-diverse gene pool.
Now Comes the Difficult Part…Winning Back Your Own Sacred Seed
A pre-requisite for Winning back Our Sacred Seeds begins with Winning Back our own personal Sacred Seed. Outgrowing GMOs Through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds is a natural by-product that comes when you Plant Your Dream according to the Tips I offer here.
Winning Back Our Own Sacred Seed means "Marching Toward" as Much or More Than "Marching Against"
Winning back our own Sacred Seed is a spiritual exercise in Self Knowledge and Soul Growth.
I spoke at the March Against Monstanto #MAM May 23 in Balboa Park San Diego. I made some of these points that I am making here.
That talk is available on Youtube Part One.
See It here: https://youtu.be/jjlUS8jsEA8
I am on a first name basis with numbers of the national leaders who want to see GMOs Labeled. I am among those who believe that GMOs--Genetically Altered Organisms made through invasive "cell rape" do not belong in our seed supply, food supply, or parts of our body. No one really asked first before doing this to us. They just presumed what they were doing was O.k. because it may have looked scientific, but they sold us a bill of goods and now we have to begin again anew to reclaim what is right and what is true for our kids.
The End Game is Growing More Enchanted Garden
There is so much to fight against, stand up against, march against, get angry about, and yet, we need to march toward the end result we want, a world that accepts we are ALL-ONE love growing in the same pot on this most generous and delicious Spaceship Earth I have named the Enchanted Garden and you its gardener.
Our Beloved earth grows as we each grow. as we become again the caretakers of our Own Rare Seed Sacred Seed Nature. Learning how to grow our own food, even in one pot of fertile soil, is part of our individual as well as collective identity and destiny. As Your Enchanted Gardener, I welcome you to get on the program and belfried Nature's Original Technology that grows healthy soil, air, water, and sunshine and our "Real Estate" -- our shared common wealth inheritance.
How do You Plant Your Dream with me?
I work with many props to get my points across. One is a Silver Box that represents the beautiful boxes where we keep our seeds locked away. Some of us still imagine that the Box is the Prize and opulence an expression of needs being met. The prize is inside the box. The Prize is the Sacred Seed locked in the box. Taking the Seed outside the Box and the self knowledge we gain learning to plant it, releases our Rare Seed Nature from the box.
This meaningful ritual, asking someone to take their dream out of the box and choose the seeds with their name on them, touches many deeply. The second part of this ritual is having the person literally plant their dream in a pot I carry of shared dreams.
Often, i plant with Ancient Kamut Khorasan wheat. The wheat comes up in a few days. This is exciting! The teaching is, How Fast can a Dream Grow? ~As fast as a Blade of Grass!
The second seed I plant now is Job's attars. This seed symbolizes loss but never loosing faith.Based on the story of Job, in my version, we plant our dream, we sow in tears and reap in Joy! All is returned more beautiful then ever! Both these Seeds are intended to be produced for Baker Creek heirloom Seed packets.
Keep The Beet. Eat the beet greens!
The third plant I encourage you to grow is a full grown beet plant that is repotted. More here.
Read the Sacred Seed Pater Often to Regain Your Right Relationship to Sacred Seeds
The planting of dreams is accompanied by reading the Sacred Seed Prayer. Please See that prayer here and hear it read from the #MAM Rally May 23.
Link here.
Planting Seed Dreams. This is What I do for a Living.
I discovered a long time ago the incredible connection between growing seeds and the harvest of our dreams. I wish for you to discover this Too!
Ryan Black, of Sambazon, plants #SeedDreams with me at Butterfly Farms, Vista, CA, May 16. I am convinced that through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds, our #RareSeeds nature, we are advancing the causes of #OpenAccesstoFood for All and #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators. These are a few of my 2015 projects supported by Enchanted Garden Club Members and Sponsors as I take on the work at home to further develop an #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost, as well as journey on the road in my 68 VW on The Enchanted Garden Mobiles Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds. An important key to our success is literally growing out the Heirloom seeds, the original seeds @RareSeeds, the contain and gift us back with the indigenous wisdom we need to relearn how to live All-One with and on Planet Earth.
This is a photo taken on Earth Day 2015. This special spot in our backyard is called the Sacred Success Circle. It is here where I honor the Seed Dreams of those who plant Dreams in my backyard.
What is Your Dream?
Let's get down to basics. I want to ask, " What is your Dream?"
Many times, the first dream that we can plant in our pot is asking clarity about what our dream is.
I have spent more than 30 years creating documents and graphics to help youPlant Your Dream. These documents are my Tips for you, clarifying your relationship to what are time tested principles for successful embodiment as a Rare Seed.
PRINT THIS
Another key principle is expressed in this document that I suggest you print as part of your Garden Management Journal.
When you adopt plants, fill out a copy of this document, and place it in your Garden Management Journal.
http://plantyourdream.net/?p=13305
We are all living in the same pot. All of our Dreams are Planted in the Same Pot.
We can think of our Earth as a spaceship traveling through the universe. I add, that we are all living in the same pot where we plant our dreams, independent and interdependent with each other, ALL ONE love. Our Self Knowledge advances through the quality of our relationships with others and what we make of these experiences. Enchanted Gardening recognizing we have shared dreams, of our shared dreams, all growing in the same pot, supports this making of this generous pre-disposition.
Natures Original Technology is intended for Living in Harmony with the Earth
We already have a perfect technology for living on the earth in harmony with nature and with each other.
We do not need fragmented science to attempt to teach us ways to work around the problems that come from losing our natural relationship with the earth, her plants, or each other.
The problems that GMOs bring up is that they are an attempt to beat the system rather than rise up as an organic uprising standing up for Nature's Original technology.
We are increasingly going bankrupt as a national economy because we have lost our bearings with seeds and what comes from learning to grow them.
Real Wealth is in our Sacred Seeds and Knowing How to Grow Them.
Real Wealth today is in Our Remaining @RareSeeds, our heirloom original Seeds, and in the wisdom that comes from Growing Them.
The Eden Pencil is one of my favorite props. This Eden Pencil, one of my favorite props is made from recycled dead money. At least we can get some value from money these days, a pencil's worth. Truly we are in a bankrupt condition, and are called now to re-orient. What is real wealth? It is in our seeds and knowing our to grow them. It is our vitality and knowing how to cultivate it.
ABOUT REAL FOOD
Not knowing how to grow some of your own food is sacra-religious, it is ungodly. so all i ask is grow one potful and you con join the Enchanted Garden Club in good members standing.
Not knowing who is growing your food is like being intimate with a stranger, so rather than dissipate all your vitality shouting against, please make sure that you are finding time to water our plant friends and in doing so water who you really are and your dreams.
Our greatest natural resource is a fully alive human being, and yet the profit motive has interceded and turned food into a commodity.
Know Your Farmer. Know Your Food
This is the second part of eating. Get to know and support local organic + organic plus farmers. Get to know farmers on a first name basis. This is Fair Trade. It means being aware of the whole food chain that feeds you. When you hesitate to at pay $2.50 for loved greens, from a local Farmers Market grower working against the most adverse conditions of extreme water, transportation costs, and treating their workers fairly with just wages, remember the doctor bill is included through prevention. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor. it is less expensive.
Food is Intended to help Plant Your Dream
The intent of Food is to help You Plant Your Dream
The intent of food is to give you what you need in internal support to give full expression and voice to your dreams.
Food is Dream Food. It is intended to help us Plant Your Dream and find Full Self Expression
Food needs a redefinition. Food is a reference point for Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds as well as Outgrowing GMOs. I would suggest beginning to Grow some Seeds and a beet Root in a pot with deep reverence for life. This is an important tip.
Planet Earth is Taking Organic Steps Now to Thrive Again Through You
Planet Earth is taking organic steps now to thrive again. The key to Earth Recovery is the emergence of #RareSeed on the Heros journey who are willing to turn breakdowns into Soul level break throughs and make course corrections. The earth responds to all we do. I have also experienced rain coming to my parched back yard as I plant intentions with living seeds that express what I want to harvest.
Look to our disconnection from our nature and our entrained eating habits and you will find behavior that has taken us to the brink of losing our planet home. The earth will go on. It is we, as a human race, racing too fast, that has the option to follow in the ways of the dinosaur or come into harmony again with the beat of nature.
Our kids have been sold out for more than 100 years to the profit motive, regardless of the good that government does, and this good is profound.
Our economy cannot improve through going the way of GMOs applied to agriculture. GMOs applied as a fundamental principle of medicine takes us farther from the necessity to learn about self care.
This is why the non-Gmo. Organic, and Fair trade movement feels so right.
What will it take to turn the condition of the world around from entropy to health?
I believe to have 1000 years of years will come as the harvest of 1000's of us Planting our #Rare Seeds in fertile soil and inspiring, through our actions, others to do the same.
THE GOOD NEWS HAS ARRIVED!
In spite of what bad science tells us based on facts that amazingly see merely the tail on the elephant rather than the whole, many of us are we are living today ignorant of Natures Original Technology. I am asking you to turn the equation around beginning with yourself.
Youth, the holders of our future, when developed by the same laws that govern plants, thrive. They are in awe of seeds.
Bottomline, there are just too many food people wanting to live, and np Barnum and Bailey approach to selling us a bill of goods can prevail.
What Nature is Asking of You Now
And so I ask this of you:
The Enchanted Garden Welcomes You!
Here is a reference point. The Enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed Earth that grows one seed at a time, one dream at a time.
Here is the Enchanted Garden Club Membership:
I ask that you soak these words in:
JOINING THE ENCHANTED GARDEN CLUB
I'm here to align with each of you that you and i are Sacred Seeds, #RareSeeds, and by planting our intentions with Heirloom original seeds, that carry the genetic biodiverse multicultural integrity inherent in healthy planetary living, we are taking a stand in the world to stand up with a healthy voice as one more inspiration in the world. We accept that living in a multi-cultural existence is our chosen destiny. We are choosing to find ways to live peacefully among many kinds of peoples, their plants and their real foods. Many diverse cultures are intended to learn to live together in one "single pot," the single pot being a metaphor for our All-One Earth. As Dr Emanuel Bronner soap master once said in his Moral ABC's And as expressed by his descendants in the Dr Bronner statement of intent "In all we do, let us be generous, Fai & Loving to Spaceship Earth and all it inhabitants for we're AL-ONE or None! ALL_ONE!"
To these words I offer the Enchanted Garden Club Membership for grounding our Spaceship:
Joining the Enchanted Garden Club & Planting #SeedDreams
Oh, patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
I accept your fulfillment as a by-product
of my own fertile deep dreams flowering.
Remind me that all natural things
on earth grow from seeds.

RARE SEEDS AMONG US
My premise is that we will have 1000 years of peace based on the influence of Rare Seeds in the world living out their Soul Purpose. I want to acknowledge and celebrate the following Rare Seeds who have influenced my own Journey and inspired my writing.
ENTER JERE GETTLE, BAKER CREEK HEIRLOOM SEED COMPANY AND THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO
My Own life Journey was Influenced by 17 year old Jere Gettle about 17-years ago. He loved original Heirloom Seed. He saw them disappearing from the catalogues he would view. He decided to do something about it. He created his own catalogue that 17 or more years later has become a collectors item and one of the most beautiful Seed Catalogues produced in the world.
Jere Gettle at the National Heirloom Expo Santa Rosa, CA. Jere Gettle is a #RareSeed Freedom Hero and I am proud to know him
Today, The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company collection has more than 1600 varieties from around the world. Each time we grow and harvest one of these open pollinated non gmo seeds, we are upholding gene integrity in the world. Jere and his family travel around the world, doing what he loves best, meeting fellow farmers and collecting their @rareseeds.
Some wonder why the Baker Creek Collection is not labeled "Certified Organic." This is because this is a collection intended for backyard gardeners, rather than commercial growers. Many of the varieties are small in number. He personally choices sustainable methods of seed growing. The collection is GMO Free and this is important to Jere Gettle
From the dream of a 17-year old, now 34 or so, has risen up a legion of backyard gardeners, excited by heirloom seeds and Pure Food Activites who attend The National Heirloom Exposition, an annual event in Santa Rosa, this year September 8-10, 2015.
I am firmly on board, doing all I can to spread the good word about Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. I Teach at the National Heirloom Expo
I am deeply honored to teach, and be a part of this Agricultural Fair. On Education and Fun Day, I give away Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company seeds throughout the year to kids and special projects that come my way. It is truly inspiring to see how many children today have an excitement about seeds. At our activity with kids to grind original wheat to see how seeds can become bread When I am with adults, I invite the, to plant intentions with living seeds showing them a pretty box and relating the story that it is our job in life to take our dreams out of the box and our life out of packages. A number of years ago, I felt I was losing my health, and I am still working hard to stay healthy; and yet finding my passion, being the California Johnnie Appleseed for these Heirloom Seeds gives my life passion and meaning. That, my friend, heals.

Enter Paul Wallace, Petaluma Seed Bank
Paul Wallace and me, Leslie Goldman, at the Petaluma Seed Bank
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company is located in Bakersville, Missouri. The California home of Baker Creek is The Petaluma Seed Bank. Located in an historic Bank Building that once housed money, the vault now protect @RareSeeds. Once a year, Paul travels to the Natural Project Expo, and at the 2015 event, we spent quality time together. I am a member of the Press Corps for #ExpoWest, and have significant friendships at this event as well as understand where to be when. In less than a few minutes at one point, Paul fulfilled his goals to meet potential sponsors for the 2015 show. It was an incredible bonding experience for both of us to spend time together. Paul Wallace is a giant of man in spirit and heart, and he knows how to grow food. Paul is the director of both the Petaluma Seed Bank as well as the National Heirloom Expo.
When I imagine the challenge of the journey, to drive the EG Mobile from San Diego to Santa Rosa, CA, it is the thought of having the destination of the Petaluma Seed Bank that gives me direction.
Paul Wallace is an inspiration in my life. He is a Rare Seed among men and I am uplifted through our conversations. It is an honor to feel a part of the Baker Creek family. Paul has been my primary contact in building that relationship.
I am holding a vision, a Seed Dream inspired by the Petaluma Seed Bank that one day all banks will have Heirloom Seed Banks. Increasingly, more and more people will wake up to see the importance of valuing seeds. More and more communities will have localized banks of Heirloom Seeds. It will be good to help foster that dream.
ENTER THE DR BRONNER FAMILY THAT MODELS GIVING BACK AND APPLYING PRINCIPLES OF MORAL ABCs
This is a photo of David Bronner, Lisa Bronner and me, Leslie Goldman at Golden Hall when the count was coming in on Prop 37 in 2012. David, and the Bronner Family has funded numbers of the GMO Labeling Campaigns, as well as my own projects. I clearly see we have lost our Compass, the direction of our Moral ABC's that include the education that comes when we grow some of our own food. We can regain our compass through regaining a Beet our Beet with Nature….I ask you to Keep The Beet. Grow a Beet in a Pot. Grow and Eat some of your own Food.
Daisy Gwin Pins Leslie with the World's Fair Trade Button at #CacaoFest May 9, 2015
What an honor to meet member of the Dr. Bronner's ALL-ONE Family May 9 at the San Diego #CacaoFest and have her pin me on World's Fair Trade Day with a button that says, World's Fair Trade Day!
When you visit the Plant Your Dream Blog site Worldpress, you will find the sponsors whose products I believe in. Here is a Blog that describes Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds and the copy for the upcoming Fifth Annual National Product Expo. Please feel feel to become familiar with some of the companies I admire. They are in the world to serve and care about Non Gmo, Organic, and Fair Trade.

It Is by the influence of individuals that we will rise up, and these individuals are well places where they can uplift by their personal examples.
WALT ROBB WHOLE FOODS CEO IS A FOOD ACTIVIST IN MY EYES
Whole Foods Market has been on the Cutting Edge Inspiring #OpenAccesstoFood and #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
Walt Robb, Co-Ceo @WholeFoodsMarket inspired my #SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All! and the National Earth Day Weeks Promotion Plant Seeds Protect Pollinators inspired by SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
Among these I name Walt Robb of Whole Foods, who I have profoundly noticed calling upon the Natural Product industry to take Action toward Open Access for Food for All!
It is when the Corporations themselves lead the way, that other corporations will follow.
Meeting Rare Seed Ron Finley
What would I like to grow next Here at Home? Ron Finley, L.A. Guerrilla Gardener has Inspired Me
I met and planted Seeds with Ron Finley, Central LA's Guerrilla Gardener, at the Natural Product Expo West 2015. He was speaking from the audience as part of a Super Session that was looking at issues of Food Access to the underserved.
Finley was arrested for planting food on the strip in front of his house on city property in an area of Los Angeles where people deeply need fresh food. The outcome was that neighbors and friends throughout Los Angeles responded. The law was changed that now allows more open access to food. Through growing it.
We can do the same in San Diego and all cities. We can reestablish our connection with growing food and induce up in doing so when back our sacred seeds. Very active growing food helps us grow GMO's. GMO's are a butt byproduct of us giving up our right to grow food to other people. We can't beat the system or attempt to do that and that is what GMO's are attempting.
Talk about that in this powerful video.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS
HERE ARE TWO SEEDS AND ONE ROOT, A BEET ROOT THAT I SUGGEST FOR BEGINNERS
INTRODUCING THE GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA STARTER KIT
Get some Kamut® Knorasan ancient wheat and begin to grow it in a pot. Soak the seeds a day or two, then plant them. The teaching that goes with this ancient grain are many. They include seeing that grass grows very quickly. The teaching here is: "How Fast Can a Dream Grow? ~As Fast as a Blade of Grass!
I have lots of material to support the growing of wheat in a pot. Begin here.
WHEAT IS COMING HOME TO HAUNT AND INSPIRE US
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2075749
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Kit is also available, and will be availing as part of the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection.
I have a full article that appeared in The Life Connection in 2013. Please Google "Wheat has come to Haunt us and Inspire us!
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2075749
GET ENGAGED:
HELPING UNCLE SAM GET MARRIED TO "ANTI" (AUNTIE) GMO
WE Gotta get engaged (in growing some of our food) before They (Uncle Sam and Anti-GMO) get married!
THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA is my focus point for inspiring the growing of wheat as a way to Grow A Healthier Pizza. The Campaign teaches that when thousands and thousands of new gardeners get engaged in growing their own food with heirloom seeds and ancient grains, this will lead to Uncle Sam getting engaged to Anti (Auntie) GMO,
The Rising Up of Auntie GMO….Please help breathe increased life and vitality into Anti (Auntie) GMO. Organic Seeds of Kamut® Khorasan Ancient Grain have been called the Prophet's Wheat. Grow them. They will teach you many lessons. Plant Your Dream with these seeds. Harvest your Intentions. My Dream is that you will help Grow A Healthier Pizza. In growing more of our food, we will inspire a Grassroots movement that restores America the Beautiful into the hands of mer Eminent Gardeners. Be That Gardener. Will back our Sacred Seeds. --Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener To Learn more about Uncle Sam Marries "Anti" Auntie GMO.
THE SECOND SEED I WOULD LIKE YOU TO GROW IS CALLED JOB's TEARS
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit and Grow A Necklace for Kids Seeds
My own seed dream is that I will soon have two seed packets added to the Baker Creek line.
The first is based on a Campaign I have called Grow A Healthier Pizza
https://www.facebook.com/GrowAHealthierPizza?fref=ts in response to the the state of Pizza described.
The second seed is an archetypal seed called Job's Tears.
Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds
The story of Job for me is the seed for these times. We have near lost everything our health and wealth, but we cannot lose faith. I am looking for growers to begin growing out these for the most part ornamental seeds that can be turned into necklaces for kids, i.e, Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds.
Job's Tear seeds come with a hole already running through them. All you have to do is push a thin wire through the hole.
THE THIRD PLANT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO GROW IS A FULL GROWN BEET ROOT. I CALL THIS PROJECT KEEP THE BEET
It's central focus is a mythical and mystical character named "Keep The Beet Media Star, The World's First Talking Beet Plant.
When you grow a beet in a pot, imagine that you are giving life to Keep The Beet. One Beet, Many Pulses, as the Teaching goes.
KEEP THE BEET LINKS
You can get a glimpse of this project here on Beet Keepers of the World Unite
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=1209704
How to Grow Your Beet in a Pot
Get a full grown beet from a local organic farmer, if possible. Cut the beet greens off and steam them. Plant the Beet Root in a pot in fertile soil. The Beet will continue to produce Beet Greens.
I have many articles I have written about Keep The Beet, personified by Keep the Beet Media Star, The World's First Talking Beet Plant.
I was doing the Keep the Beet project for numbers of years, until I went on to other seeds.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Keep-The-Beet-Media-Star-The-Worlds-First-Talking-Beet-Plant/393010610718704?sk=timeline
Each heirloom seed tells a story, the very experience of growing food, and tending a plant I care for inspires me. I hope it does this for you too.
Agriculture is not what Large Scale Commercials Growers imagine it is and the potential of food to be Our Medicine is outside their Profit Motive
The way of Agriculture, within these years, is shifting. It is becoming local out of necessity. The failed system of monoculture and large scale farming, that imagined they could Beat the System with the same war chemicals that Monsanto and others produced during WW2 are leaving us with depleted soils, and all these but chemical operations are now being supplanted by other GMO BioTechology that is inherently more damaging to both plants and people. The chemicals ultimately have failed us, and the Biotech applications of GMO to agriculture is failing us.
Basically, we need to go back to the drawing board and recognize that by investing in each other's dreams, and through using Nature as an ally, rather than making war against nature, we will return our earth to being an Enchanted Garden.
This is not something that large scale commercial Ag wants, but it is what the earth wants, and it is what was in the vision of the Founding Rare Seeds who started the US.
We can only go so far before Nature shows us, through melting ice caps or shortages of rain and oil disasters that we are banking on the wrong technology.
Sadly, this is what those who are pulling the strings on Uncle Sam imagine is good for our economy, but the truth is our economy and our money system as we know it, is failing.
As I wrote in last years, campaign we can help Uncle Sam take steps to Marry Auntie GMO, and this comes as we get on board with growing some of our own food, that fundamentally shifts consciousness.
NOTES ON THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE AS WE KNOW IT TODAY
FAILED BIOTECH TECHNOLOGY IN THE FARM FIELD VS NATURE'S ORIGINAL TECHNOLOGY
The Current Technology Advanced by Monsanto is a Failed System

Dr Bronner ALL-ONE Products are among those featured in the PlantYourDeam Non Gmo, Orgnanic & Fair Trade Shopping Guide.
Increasingly, on the Plant Your Dream WordPress site, I am focused on sharing stories about individuals, projects & events- of those I consider in Our Non GMO, ORganic, and Fair Trade Shopping Guide. I believe we are spreading the Tipping Point of Outgrow GMO's and Bring in the Enchanted Garden through the way we encourage others through support of their projects.
On my road trips, local as well as distant, I have samples of creations from various Enchanted Garden Club members and sponsors of my work in the world. These are freely given at times to alert those I need to my own choices of companies and individuals I support and who support me.
What will it take to turn our world from Entropy through Survival to Thriving?
Bottom line, it will take you! It will take thousands and thousands of #Rare Seeds in the world who make up a profound Grass Roots movement of Beet Keepers, by this I mean inspirational people who Keep The Beat with Nature.
It will take you re-establishing your relationship to the Sacred Seed you are and the Sacred Seeds in the world.
Look at the Seed. Look Deeply at an Ancient Grain of wheat and grow some out!
This is what Edmond Bordeaux Szekely found:
GET YOUR GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA STARTER KIT
Get Your Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit at the National Heirloom Expo when you join the Enchanted Garden Club! Plant Your Dream Seeds are waiting for you! Professor Edmond B Szekely told a story about a King who once lost his "crown" and regained it . You too, can help grow a Grassroots movement that Wins Back Our Original Sacred Seeds.
Monsanto is a failed technology. More and More people are hearing about it and coming to this conclusion
Monsanto will only be around supporting its current technology so long. They will fail in the marketplace not so much by what they do, but because more and more people will spend their dollars on non GMO, Organic, and Fair Trade companies who set examples of generosity of spirit, and profoundly give back to their communities.
The Call for Unity
Many of these companies, and I have met their leaders, are RareSeeds. I want to make it clear as well, there are Rare Seeds well placed within the corporate framework. It is important to focus on creating unity among all segments who support Culvitating a Grass Roots Movement that will make the shift that is needed, a shift back to living in Harmony with nature.
rather than splitting our results by in fighting within the movement intended to work together to grow the Greatest Grass Roots movement our nation has known.
The Writing is On The Wall…The Future of Monsanto is that they will one day admit to their failed Technology and then Attempt to Usurp Ours
No matter how good the PR of Monsanto, et all, how deep their Moneybags to buy elections with misinformation, more than likely, they will one day, because of loss of market share of foods sold, admit the errors of their ways, their failed technology, and then attempt to continue their profit motives through selling us the organic seeds that they are already stockpiling at a price that places extreme value on our remaining Heirloom Seeds.
Our intent needs to be: Support the creation of #RareSeeds and their "Prophet" making motives--the movement to bring the best out of us. Our intent needs to be to look ahead. Begin to recognize that Label GMOs and outlawing GMOs may be the battleground, and corporation attempts to restrict our Labeling attempts may pass, however, win or lose the victory lap belongs to those who come to see that heirloom seeds are Sacred Seeds are to be revered. Learn to grow your own food, because RareSeeds grow some of their own food. It goes with the territory of being fully human. Again, I want to underscore, become intimate with growing just a few seeds you befriend, and that you grow in a pot, gives you good standing as an Enchanted Gardener.
Briefly, here are some TIps for Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds and as a byproduct Outgrowing GMOs
I am asking you to march toward where the earth is headed and toward the Rare Seed you are intended to be. I want to give you some reference points.
I am sharing a few Inner and Outer Gardening tips that I hope you will hear first hand when I travel in my 68 VW Van called the Enchanted Garden Mobile from San Diego to Santa Rosa projected for August and September 2015. on a journey sponsored by the companies I admire. I plan to make stops along the way visiting Whole Foods Markets where the products I admire our sold; as well as visit farmers markets, and other stops where I will deliver my message.

INSPIRATION FOR THE LIGHT CONNECTION STORY "WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS." THANK YOU TO MEMBERS OF #e3's of SDSU, MEMBERS OF HOPE RESTORED, AND THE ENCHANTED GARDEN MOBILE
This story, "Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds" intended for The Life Connection magazine (started May 1) is inspired by the nearby students of San Diego State University e3 Enviro-Business Society on-campus club; members at the Hope Restored Swahili speaking church on the street where the Hillcrest Farmers' Market is held; and to my incredible friends on Facebook who provide an invaluable Feedback loop.
My 68 VW Van, The Enchanted Garden Mobile, is an almost daily conversation starter. Many who stop to ask questions about her soon realize that this more than 40-year old creation with heart is on a mission named #TheEnchantedGardenMobilesJourneytoWinBackOurSacredSeeds. i invite you to follow our journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds on the Facebook site.
Bridget Moore, outgoing e3 President (L) Leslie Goldman (that's me, and Faina Margulis, one of two incoming presidents.
Leslie, that's me, with Z, and Pastor Augustin Tuzolana of the Hope Restored Swahili Church that meets at 2 pm each Sunday. The address is 3920 Normal St, San Diego, CA 92103 on the same block as the Hillcrest Farmers' Market located at the Hillcrest DMV. The church welcomes visitors. The spirit of the choir is inspiring and has maintained its authentic soul of Africa. I have a dream to influence the health of the youth of this church community by sharing Farmers' Market foods with them, foods that as well feed the soul. I would like to help develop a relationship between the farmers and community church members leading toward improving the nutrition of the community members as well as increasing sales for the farmers who often have amounts of high quality healthy fresh food that goes unsold at the end of the weekly 9 am-2 pm Sunday Hillcrest Farmers' Market. The generosity of the farmers toward my campaign has been kind. You can help support the success of this project--Open Access to Food for All-- by shopping the Hillcrest Farmers' Market and making sure that the food my favorite farmers grow ends up where it is suppose to--your stomach.
Photo of the Rodriguez family, Papa Joe and Goyo. The Rodriquez fifth generation farming family have more than 20 Farmers Market outlets in SoCal. Here is a List. Please support them and other local farmers with your food spending dollar. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor.
Shopping Your Local Farmers Market Encourages Local Fair Trade
What does all this have to do with Fair Trade? Our farmers deserve fair wage for all their hard work. They are dependent on you shopping at your local farmers market and making this part of your weekly shopping experience, and you choosing to become a member of a local CSA, their Community Supported Agriculture programs. With the number of healthy mouths to feed in San Diego County, all our local organic farmers and their needs can be met as you play your part in supporting our local farm economy.
To Win Back Your Own Sacred Seed, please grow some of your own food. This is our birthright. Being responsible for tending one pot of growing food can make a difference in rooting your dreams and can teach you many lessons. It is important as well to be on a first name basis with the farmers growing the rest of your food. Not knowing whose growing your food is like being "intimate" with a stranger.
THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE NOW LISTS FARMERS' MARKET OUTLETS
For those in San Diego County, I want to recommend the local Life Connection Magazine, coming out monthly, that now features stories and photos from the San Diego Farmers' Markets. Here is a example from the May 2015 issue and its Farmers market Directory
Thanks to Steve Hays and The Life Connection Magazine
I thank Steve Hays, publisher of The Life Connection Magazine, San Diego and his staff person Amelia Leigh for encouraging conversations regarding collaborations together. This uplifts my heart. Steve epitomizes perseverance. The Life Connection has published for more than 30 years, recording a history that might not have been told otherwise. I write a story for The Life Connection Magazine around this time of year. You can read the stories I have written online. Helping Uncle Sam Marry Anti-GMO was my 2014 story.
Steve Hays and Amelia Leigh visited the Hillcrest Farmers'Market on May 10, Mothers Day. Their Seed Dream was to open up outlets for distribution. We began the process here through introductions to some of my Hillcrest Farmers' Market Community.

The Alternative to Growing Heirloom and Organic Seeds is the One Side Fits All Model
The alternative to planting heirloom seeds and becoming again a nation of small scale farmers, is the "One Seed Fits All Model " that is currently being promoted by Industrial Agricultural that I see going the way of the dinosaur, Propelled by chemicals and our last remaining oil and water resources, it has not yet recognized it no longer is a vital system breeding health for all. Leave it to Industrial Ag and they would give us a square tomato, one size that fits in boxes that can be shipped across country. The latest inventions are commercial corn that is more for feeding car engines with imagined fuel alternatives than people.
Meanwhile, as Jere Gettle of Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds tests for GMO content, he find smore and more contamination in the corn crop diversity of the world. The Genetic corn developed harms the diverse gene pool. It kills off biodiversity and the indigenous people of the world see this.
FAIR TRADE PROJECT NOTES
According to the Fair World Project, Industrial Ag has a direct relationship to Climate Change, where as Small-Scale Farmers and gardeners Cool the Planet and Feed the world. Their information reports that the U.N SPecial Rapporteur on the RIght to Food estimates that small farms produce up to 80% of the food in the non-industrialed world.
Http://www.Fairworldproject.org
Many in the U.S. and a few nations are still being taken in by the BioTech model of growing commodities that pass as food. This model goes hand in hand with what are imagined to be a technology that can work. Our US government, sadly, is in bed with this model of Agriculture that is promoted by science as they know is known.
Meanwhile, sustainable models of organic agriculture continue to prove that they time tested methods can feed the world as they have always done.
There is a force, an indigenous power in sync with the natural elements that has always been in the world. THat force says, Plant Your Dream and plant it with the Rare Seeds that ask now to be grown out by you in your own backyard, or in something as small as a single pot.
LESSONS THE RAIN TAUGHT ME
I am a Ceremonialist by Nature and for Nature
This photo of Alejandro Meraz Chichiltekolotl of the Danza Azteca with me is from the the #CacaoFest 2015 Opening Ceremony. I included this Milkweed plant in the Sacred Circle to bring awareness that through planting this, the Food of Monarch Butterflies, we can help provide #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators. That is one of my 2015 themes under the Umbrella #WinningBackOurSacredSeeds TheEnchanted Garden Mobile on her Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds was a big hit at the CacaoFest.
Photo on my hands and knows by Monique…
As Your Enchanted Gardener, I am a ceremonialist by nature. The world we live in today is an expression of the Seeds that began as one person's dream or another. The solutions exist in each of us and they are connected to the issues that have brought us to the place of human extinction and can bring us from "Survive This Day" to thriving on Earth.
I have been inspired by recent rains, that have lifted my spirit. I have a rule, when it rains, I collect the rain, and when there is a chance of rain, I plant seeds.
Doing Ceremony at the Opening of the #CacaoFest May 9. We had a rain that fell the day before this San Diego Gathering. The gathering acknowledged the Indigenous Peoples behind our Love of Chocolate. The event happened on World Fair Trade Day, May 9. I gave voice to the spirit of the event and well as its timing. In this photo I am holding a glass container of the rain that I named the #CacaoFestRain. I collected the rain that fell the day before I used to water our dreams that were planted at the festival.
My own mystical relationship to rain lifts my spirit and reminds me that we can be ALL-ONE with the Natural elements
Each time it has rained I have collected rain. Here is one story to tell:
On April 25, there were tours of the Tree of Health Garden in Balboa Park. This is a very sacred place for me that has witnessed to my own healing. I came with a another ceremonialist and we did some work.
I knew there was an Indian Pow Pow at San Diego State University, and I was determined to get there before it ended.
When I arrived with my companion the event had been called because of the impending rain. I went out with some very special seeds and gave gifts to some of the dancers. I asked one to bless the seeds that were intended to Protect Pollinators.
The moment we stood together and did the blessing on the seeds, the drops of rain started to fall. They had collected on my windshield when I came back to the EG Mobile. Then it stopped raining as I left.
I came home with the very special seeds that had been blessed by the Sioux Dancer.
I was determined to plant these seeds, and so I sat in our consecrated success circle waiting. I was tired and not thinking too clearly. The rain was eminent. I was waiting for the rain to fall before I planted the seeds. I sat for about 45 minutes. It was getting cold and dark. Finally I went down on my knees and decided to plant the seeds in the ground of our Sacred Success Circle.
The exact moment I placed the Blessed seeds in the ground, the rain came that very second.
These are the seeds that were planted April 25. I planted other seeds April 22 on EarthDay, but they are not as vibrant as the ones that were blessed at the Pow Pow. These are growing faster!
The message for me was. Do not wait on your dreams. Plant them in faith, and the rain will come.
And so this is my message for you:
How more beautiful would the world be
if ALL the heirloom seeds sitting
on shelves in packages became
the plants they could be?
How much more Soul would there be
in the world if we allowed our
inner Seed Dreams to come out of their
‘packages’ and grow the ‘plants’ they can be?
How much passion and life would we feel?
How more peaceful and healthy would the
world be? Mother Earth says, “Plant Your
Dream!” because your Soul is intended to be
a fully-expressive heirloom seed
in her cornucopia of earthly abundance.
She wants you fully growing
in the world now.

These mystical relationships to Rain are ongoing for me

Forget Our Differences!
We are all growing in the same pot! FInd ways to enter dialogue and educate, even with those who have we imagine represent different points of view.
There are many, many inspirations among us already, and I see the Grassroots movement growing as we forget our differences and look for the good in each other. The call to grow grassroots is a call for Unity. It is a call to accept that we are ALL-ONE!
Being Mindful of where Our Dollars Go…This is Conscious Commerce
It is also a call to be enter Conscious Commerce, and be mindful of every dollar we spend and where it goes.
Doing Good in the World. Following Nature's Path
Food reform today means connecting personally to small local food production and your local Farmers' Market as well as stores where the dollars you spend shopping are based on principles of Conscious Commerce. With each dollar we spend, we can uplift humanity. Principles of Fair Trade, Non GMO usage, and above all food grown by organic and beyond organic (Biodynamic) principles are important.
Examples abound of companies run by individuals who deserve our money.
Entrepreneurs are doing good to uplift humanity working as independent business owners as well as many inspired souls working to build bridges in positions within corporate structures. We are being asked to Survive This Day and to Thrive through all working together as grassroots grow.
We are here alive now to live by intention to do good regardless of breakdowns that stem from loss of our Sacred Rare Seed nature. It is to the literal @RareSeeds that hold the inherent power of biodiverse culture that come to remind us of the Moral ABC principles of All-One Love.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL WILL REMEDY OUT FOOD DESERTS
Todya the words "Food Desert " are becoming a popular word to designate how underserved parts of our cities and their citizens are being denied real food access through a lack of real food stores: yet it is here where the food heroes are planting gardens and teaching hoew to have real food safety through food sovereignty.
Food deserts are now everywhere including the College Campus where most youth have no idea what real food is.
It is for this reason that #OpenAccesstoFood for All holds so much power for me. The power of the @rareseed is destined to grow on campus' everywhere. mark my words. I begin where I live.
Open Access inspired by Whole Foods Market
The idea was inspired when I heard a panel of some of the great Food Reform Activiites at the Natural Product Expo West.
This super session was organized by Walt Robb of Whole Foods Market.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL POLLINATORS
Open Access to Food for All and for All Pollinators
This project has been ongoing for most of the year. It began when I discovered a stand of Milkweek growing at the Trees of Health Garden and began to record Monarch Butterflies all around the plants. I was getting some really beautiful pictures.
Then around Earth Day, Whole Foods Market had a promotion called "Party for the Pollinators." I attended the event at the West Los Angeles Whole Foods Market. I received some of the seed packets and buttons, but the following day, my seed packets were given away in error at the San Diego EarthFair. I was grateful to find more packets locally at our WFM Hillcrest. It was these seeds I planted on Earth Day and then again March 25.
These are the seeds planted on April 25 coming up May 13, 2015
Take Your Sacred Seed Out of the Pizza Box and Plant Your Dream! This is my premise.
What I do at the National Heirloom Expo
Called the World's Pure Food Fair, the National Heirloom Expo, produced by Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, this year September 8-10, 2015 in Santa Rosa, CA, is an heirloom Seed collectors dream. The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection typified numbers of collections that are being managed by heirloom Seed lovers that now include Seed Library enthusiasts, backyard gardeners, and small scale Farmers, Numbers of these companies and seed growers from around the world are finding their way to the National Heirloom Expo. Can you hear the call? I did.

COME GROW WITH US!
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO AT HOME WITH YOUR HELP!
Enter Monique Michaud, and a caste of individual eccentrics attempting to live together at my home and everywhere.
Monique Michaud visits the Enchanted Garden on Earth Day. She is schedule to move in
This is Our Sacred Success Circle at the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost.
Photo of the Sacred Success Circle. I am tending Sacred Seeds Dream here. Who will fill these chairs, I wonder? Is it you? Do you hear the call, to volunteer to help this land, or to live here or to visit? Within my own disparate self, going in many directions as once, attempt ion to manage a household of different needs including my own, i find solace in tending this circle and appreciate the power in having a tiny bit of earth that I visit and dreams that I associate with the growing plants.
Projects I Would Like to Prosper in My Own Backyard
I have numbers of projects that I would like to see prosper in my own backyard. For many years I have called the community the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community. The Enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth that grows one seed and one dream at a time. I cannot say how many who have lived here have ever really gotten the concept. For the most part, I have done my best keeping the land and house viable with renting rooms and doing what we could to create some semblance of learning to live together.
The Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost is a Reality I Feel and See in my Growing Plants
One of my more realistic goals now is called the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost on our a 1/3 acre site near San Diego State University.
What would I like to grow next Here at Home? Ron Finley, L.A. Guerrilla Gardener has Inspired Me
Making Friends in Our Own Neighborhoods,
This year, I have especially been inspired by Los Angeles Guerrilla Gardener Ron Finley, and others I met at a Super Session organized by Whole Foods Market's Walter Robb at the Annual Natural Product Expo on March 6.
Finley's dream is to see neighborhoods where neighbors grow various kinds of food and trade between themselves. I have a similar vision for my street.
Picture of rain water collection
My sense is that if we collected every drop of water that fell from the sky, and if we got into reusing the potable water that is now wasted down the drain, the water that comes from our washing machine and showers, we would have all the water we need to grow food here. This is a project we are doing at home and begin to adapt to using Sal Suds, one of the Dr. Bronner ALL-ONE cleaning products. I would like to see more people starting thinking this way in San Diego and around the state of California where we are asked to do a 25% mandatory cutback of water use.
Further, as much as we have dry years in my own city, you can be sure there will be wet years coming as well.
Inspiring and Welcoming the Nearby Students of SDSU
My home vision is that increasingly I will live with others whose common ground is wanting to see the 1/3 acre where I live be in an inspiration to nearby SDSU students, as well as through my blog, to others around the nation and the world.
I live in a 76 year old home surrounded by 1/3 acre within walking distance of SDSU. There is a constant need to manage the physical upkeep and we are in a phase of massive building of physical repair and infrastructure. The dynamics of living with others is the challenge of our time, and certainly we experience that challenge here.
My goal was to stabilize on the home in June and July, and be free to travel in August and September to the National Heirloom Expo.
This is an earlier version of the what has now become the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost concept.
The Enchanted Garden Mobiles Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds.
Typically, A big part of my journey to win back our sacred seeds has become focused on my outreach in my 68 VW. Called the Enchanted Garden Mobile, this more than 40 year vehicle draws attention wherever she goes. In her rear compartment, I travel with a pot where I plant dreams.
In my work as Your Enchanted Gardener, and a professional blogger writing on a daily basis, I am constantly inventing campaigns to re-invigorate what I call America the Beautiful.
These are some of my current campaigns that you will find on the #PlantYourDreamBlogs.
CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS IS MY UMBRELLA THEME FOR 2015
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
This is my umbrella theme for 2015. It is the topic I intend to teach at the National Heirloom Expo, September 8-10, 2015 and getting to the National Heirloom Expo is once again a journey giving my life meaning.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE IN MIND ON THE ROAD:
THE ENCHANTED GARDEN MOBILE AND ITS JOURNEY TO WIN BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS
I am so committed to this cause of the National Heirloom Expo, that I am willing to drive my 40 year VW Van called the EG Mobile, on a journey of Faith more than 1700 miles round trip the last three years, and again this year. Each year has been a personal testing of my personal health and health concerns, and each time I have come away renewed, inspite of challenges. The journey is for me a hero's journey.
Plan A has started. I am visiting @WholeFoodsMarkets from San Diego to Santa Rosa, CA in Route to @HeirloomExpo
VISITING WHOLE FOODS MARKET LONG BEACH
+++++PHOTO OF ME AT WHOLE FOODS MARKET LONG BEACH +++
A natural connection between Whole Foods Market and the National Heirloom Expo, this year, September 8-10, 2015, has already been established.
Last year, coming home from the National Heirloom Expo 2014, and this year, I have already started visiting @wholefoodmarkets between San Diego and Santa Rosa.
This year, n each store I visit, I upload FB albums of the products that are in the #PlantYourDreamBlog Non GMO, Organic, and Fair Trade Shopping Guide. Each product I feature has a story behind it. Most of these products are produced by people I know who have standards of excellence I want to see prosper.
The Enchanted Garden Mobile is a Conversation Starter. Daily, someone waves or wants to ask me a question about her
The #EnchantedGardenMobile draws attention wherever she goes. She is a conversation starter. Each day she ages and youthens through the love and attention she gets. She gives me opportunities to plant dreams from the bucket I carry inside her. I want to engage each store in helping to tell others about the #PureFoodWorldsFair that is The National Heirloom Expo.
The EG Mobile also visits Farmers' Markets
I recognize that not everyone can travel the distance to this wonder of wonders agricultural fair, and so, along the way, I visit Farmers' Markets, and on occasion, recognize foods that are deserving of a Blue Ribbon from the #WorldsFairofPureFood. It is my honor to give them, these the same blue ribbons we award at the National Heirloom Expo.
Most of All, along the way, I am engaging those I meet in the story that I will tell in my classes.
We are #RareSeeds. When we plant @RareSeeds indicative of the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection and many other heirloom and Organic Seed growers, we are Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds.
We are practicing the Indigenous ways of seed growing and seed saving that has been the hallmark of people since time began who have lived in harmony with the earth, her soil, and her natural seasons. In growing these seeds, we are popularizing a way of life that trumps GMO Ag and large scale ag that needs chemicals to survive. In this the age of of Peak Oil, what other healthy choice do we have than to return to what has always worked, systems of sustainable local culture that grows Sacred Food to grow its dreams.
Flyers from the National Heirloom Expo will be placed along my route wherever welcomed
She along the way, and inspiring others about the National Heirloom Expo.
CONCLUSIONS
There is a Dream inside each of us, and it is our destiny to keep it alive. There are also the dreams of those who have come before us, and who understood what it means to be a nature Boy.
KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE!
KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE! DR. BERNARD JENSEN AND THE ROMANCE OF SEEDS
Leslie (That's me) with Dr. Bernard Jensen, 1980's or 1990's in my backyard.
As a teen, I was radically effected by the death of my mother who died of cancer when i was 12 years old. My aunt, about a decade later, also had cancer. She turned to healthy practices and lived another 50 years. My own health was degenerating through high school and college. It was my aunt who took me out of the city and to the doorstep of Dr. Berbard jensen, a pioneer San Dirdo resident and healing arts master
It was he who put mr on the pash of Food Reform and asked me to follow in the footsteps of other Fiid Reformers he had known including Alfred W. McCann, author of "The Science of Eating."
Keeping the Dream Alive? What does that mean? We have lost so much nature wisdom. Dr. Bernard Jensen was a charismatic speaker and teacher. His presence on the stage was magnetic. We were friends for more than 30 years. I call him my spiritual father. Dr. Bernard Jensen left a legacy in books and teachings, but his legacy is mainly what he passed to those who knew him and were touched by him.
In the years ahead, I will look forward to holding a copy of his life story in my hands. I and his grandson, Jon D. Jensen, are beginning to imagine such a seed dream.
Many today have no idea what the Dream is--Whole, Pure, Nature, Fresh, Organic. They do not know what the herbs of the field can do for us. Dr. Bernard Jensen called himself a Nature Boy, and I am honored to the extent that I can, to follow his footsteps.
I wrote a number of his books from his words, and their is more story to tell.
We created a Magic Survival Kit together. Book Two is called "Survive This Day." One section is called,
"The Romance of Seeds." Dr. Jensen was the first person to alert me to that Romance, that heightens and magnifies as I pursue my purpose for living.
HOW THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA WAS BORN
https://www.facebook.com/GrowAHealthierPizza
The Campaign to Grow A Healthier came into being through a syncronisitiy of events. I had long been a friend of ancient wheat through my relationship with the stories of Zoroaster that Essene Renaissance leader Edmond Bordeaux Szekely told.
Enter Bob Quinn and Kamut Pizza Making Real Dough
I met Bob Quinn who was also enamored with ancient wheat and planted a handful of Kamut ® Ancient Grains that now supports 1000's of acres of organic commerce.
Then during prop 37, I received one of 167,000 packages of Pizza making San Marzano tomato Sauce seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom @RareSeeds who gifted them the Ca labeling effort. I was deeply involved in that campaign.
The Government has been Cheating on Us
http:http://www.curezone.org/ig/i.asp?i=77274//www.curezone.org/ig/i.asp?i=77274
In 2011, I was in Washington DC speaking at Organic Listening Day and volunteering to be the Enchanted Gardener for the USDA. I thought again to go East in 2012.. That single pack of heirloom seeds turned my direction north to the National heirloom Expo.
Then, I heard Deborah Szekely, co-founder of Rancho La Puerta on a tirade against the government for saying two ounces of tomato sauce defined Pizza as a vegetable.
If they were going to do that, I was going to Grow A Healthier Pizza.
Most of the teachings I share with others are now contained in Pizza Boxes as graphic designsI create.
The centerpiece of the Campaign are these words:
If Commercial Interests once again have convinced Congress to do business as usual, and that profits are more important that our children having improved school lunches, if Congress has said that a few tablespoons of tomato sauce define Pizza as a Vegetable, then we as Conscious Consumers will 'Grow a Healthier Pizza." Amber waves of Grain Growing will Return Spaciaous Skies of America the Beautiful to us. These will Win Back Our Sacred Seeds: The right to Know that every Ingredient in Food is Labeled, to Know that Food is Medicine, To Know How to Grow Our Own Food."
" Once Again" The Gov has been Unfaithful…
The words in the Grow a Healthier Pizza document, "Once Again" are loaded. They are a reference to Sell outs to Big Business that go out more than 100 years.
Today one of our big issues about food is transparency. The effort to Label it, GMO Labeling, and the buy out of voting through mis and disinformation on the part of moneyed commercial processed food interests are only repeats of tactics that have been going on since Alfred W. McCann and Dr. Thomas W. Wiley waved the banner calling for Food Reform during the WW1 days and decades before.
Five Impossible Things before Breakfast…Lunch, and Dinner
In Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" Alice falls down the rabbit hole to face her heroic journey and find her Own Sacred Seed. Then she comes out of the rabbit hole PizzaBox, so to speak, determined to turn her own life from cocoon to butterfly. Before she goes hole dropping, she is at a wedding scene and witnesses her brother-in-law breaking his own marriage vows.
Similarly, our federal government has been cheating on us, going hook, line and sinker into the Biotech farm bed and courting unholy Trade agreements that are geared to bring Food Safety to corporate wealth holders and again sell out the Real Food American Drean.
What is sold in the marketplace as Food for the most part is not food. It is commodities more intended to reap profits than give kids and adults the necessary refined elements to speak our truths and find their prophetic voices as Seed Freedom heroes who are born to turn to turn our world into an Enchanted Garden.
These values are shifting. More and more people are coming to terms with the assault upon our health and we are through our purchasing power driving these corporations to last ditch efforts before they either all turn organic or make their exits to Mars.
The SCIENCE OF EATING
Muckraker journalist Alfred W McCann around World War I wrote "The Science of Eating" and "Starving America." I introduce
Alfred W. McCann on #PlantYourDreamBlog Wordpress. He knew even then that we were selling out our kids. He saw a generation who were mainly 4F or near to it. He called for Food Reform. He said that Food Reform must begin in the schools.

The History of a Crime Against the Food Law 1929
His friend Thomas Washington Wiley M.D. worked diligently for the agency that became the FDA. He helpled to pass the Pure Food and Drug Law of 1906 that would have made junk food and GMO's as we know them illegal, however, commercial interests kept his law from being applied and later disallowed it. The truth is, our federal government has been cheating on us since then if not before.
DR WILEY'S BOOK
Dr. Wiley's Book, published in 1929 is also online here
It is called "The History of a Crime Against the Food Law."

We are truly bankrupt. The Real Power is in Heirllom Seeds and Knowing How to Grow Them
Time will prove that BioTech Technology applied to the Farm Field is hurting our health and immune system's. GMO's in Agriculture simply do not work, Biotech applied to medicine is a phenomena that has saved lives, as many other heroic measures, however, they are now so engrained in The buck, the moneybag, it, that they are without our knowing taking us deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole head over heals in our Medical Doctor's love affair with Big Pharma. Money today is worth little more and then an Eden Foods pencil made from old dead dollar bills.

MY JOURNEY TO THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO
If all goes to plan, I will stabilize on the home front, and be free to travel in August and September to the National Heirloom Expo.
My Journey will be sponsored by the companies I already have as sponsors and a few others I have in mind.
The last four years a have taken a Journey of Faith to the World's Pure Food Fair in Santa Rosa, CA from San Diego. Called the National Heirloom Expo, this year to be held September 8-10, the event is a lovely agricultural fair with incredible displays of food, animal life, meaningful talks, and displays of special products that are carefully chosen to be in the show.
Not everyone in California can attend and so, seeing myself as representative of the event, I am handing out Blue Ribbons on my travels to foods, products, and people that I feel deserve acknowledgement at this the Pure Food World's Fair.
Another Joy I have, both at the event and in route, in introducing youth and adults to the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection that Epitomizes an inventory of @rRareSeeds in the world
I have great joy introducing the #RareSeeds I meet, by this I mean you and I, to @RareSeeds from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection. I believe that we are intended to return to begin a nation of small scale gardeners, supplemented by foods grown by larger scale organic and biodynamic farmers who have our best interests at heart. I believe the farmer's we support need to be more concerned with producing more nutrition per acre tha profit per acre; and it is a necessity that shoppers recognize that our farmers are a national treasure. The foods they produce need to end up where intended--our stomachs--and every farmer needs to compensated as a act of Fair Trade. Farmers deserve a good livelihood. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor.
Let's begin with the seed.
The Enchanted Garden Mobile's Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds
Open Access to Food for All!
Open Access to Food for All Pollinators,/H2>
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds Starts with Winnng Back Our Individual Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds is an epic enterprise that begins with realizing that Winning Back "Our" Collective Seeds, begins with each of us Winning Back our Own Sacred Seed. Here is some background, and a description of the specific Seed Dreams I have launched that I believe will help restore America The Beautiful!
1.
" This Earth is Ours" so Let's Take Care of Her
My friend, Gurdeep Stephens wrote a book called "This Earth is Ours." It is for this reason that I travel with a Reacher in the EG Mobile, my 68 VW Van, as well as a bucketful of ancient grains of wheat.
Everywhere I go, I want to pick up trash with my reacher. Picking up trash reminds me that "This Earth is Ours" and it is my responsibility to Keep her Clean. Often this task is most difficult at home and in my personal space, where my personality needs often have me overworking and generating thousands of ideas and papers. The attempt to live on a 1/3 acre parcel near San Diego State University as a house manager also means I am constantly called upon to meet not only my needs the needs of others, as well as from time to time filling vacancies in the household. For a long time, I referred to the home where I live as the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community; however, I was likely the only person over the years who held this vision in the same way that I do. Most recently, I am focused on growing an Enchanted Garden Rare Seeds Outpost, based on the idea that here at home, even in a few tended buckets, I can do my part to keep Rare Seeds, that represent multi-cultural diversity in the world alive.
I am always looking to see the unique talents a person brings to our household. Often I am influenced as well by my own baggage and theirs, as I find meaningful moments to Plant my own dreams, and create sacred space.
Agriculture 2015 is in transition
Agriculture 2015 is in transition from large-scale centralized food growers using chemical and unnatural technological methods, such as growing food using Genetically Modified Organisms. Humans may pass laws and make whatever Trade Agreements they imagine they want to ensure profits; however, ultimately Nature's Original Technology says NOT to what international and Corporate Interests feel they need to do. Food Safety and Security ultimately will come down to learning to grow our own food and establish local systems rather than base Food Safety on their needs of a few individuals to continue to make profits and feel safe from activists who might want to control their appetites when all of us, the served and underserved need "Open Access to Food for All! and #Open Access to Food for All Pollinators.
ONE OF MY PLANT YOUR DREAM BUSINESS CARDS
My Biz Card Goes Here. Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener, Plants Seeds of Success for Super Ripe People and Their Dreams
THE FAMOUS EDEN PENCIL. IT IS A COMMENTARY IN MY MIND ON THE VALUE OF MONEY AND THE REAL WEALTH IN SEEDS
I truly believe that our world is being uplifted by the way we spend our dollar. I teach as well that our economic as we know has as much real value as an Eden Pencil made of old dollar bills. The new wealth is in heirloom seeds organically grown, and the knowledge of how to grow our own food by organic principles.
Why are Heirloom Seeds so Important?
Heirloom seeds carry the rich multi-cultural history of the peoples of the earth. Baker Creek. located in Missouri, and its Petaluma Seed Bank. located in an old historic Bank Building, symbolized an emerging trend called the Seed Bank, where local communities will store and develop their own bio-regional seeds.
Baker Creek is geared up to serve the backyard gardener. In my mind, as we plant these seeds, the seeds themselves are blessing us with a wealth and knowledge, teaching us how to live in harmony with our earth. I called our relationship to seeds one of Plant Parenthood, words that I have used for a number of decades. As we parent plants, plants reparent us.
Heirloom Seed represent the cultural integrity of biodiverse culture reigniting. They represent a return to the founding principles of America the Beautiful.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue
In my own Jewish tradition, we speak of the metaphor of the Promised land and hope that one day Eden shall return to the earth. I have named the new Eden, the Enchanted Garden. I am clear that all that stands between us and heaven on earth is enough #RareSeeds finding again their voice with Rare Seeds of heirloom original seeds in hand and ancient grains that have not been hybrid by modern techniques that can contaminate our food supply.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue, a for-sale publication, is for me a Roadmap to Eden. Glancing through the colorful pages is a stunning realization of the world as it has existed and can exist again. The publication is offered in numbers of Whole Foods Markets and online. A free RareSeed Catalogue is also available that can be ordered online. Baker Creek as well puts on an Heirloom Magazine four times a year.
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit and Grow A Necklace for Kids Seeds
My own seed dream is that I will soon have two seed packets added to the Baker Creek line.
The first is based on a Campaign I have called Grow A Healthier Pizza in response to the the state of Pizza described. The second seed is an archetypal seed called Job's Tears.
Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds
The story of Job for me is the seed for these times. We have near lost everything our health and wealth, but we cannot lose faith. I am looking for growers to begin growing out these for the most part ornamental seeds that can be turned into necklaces for kids, i.e, Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds.
Job's Tear seeds come with a hole already running through them. All you have to do is push a thin wire through the hole.
IN SUMMATION, I WANT TO REVIEW SOME OF MY OWN TEACHINGS THAT THEY INSPIRE YOUR ACTIONS
WE WILL COME TO SEE A DAY WHEN FARMING WILL BE WHEREVER POSSIBLE LOCALLY GROWN, ORGANICALLY GROWN, OR BETTER
Farmers are a national treasure. They deserve Fair Trade wages and all the food they grow needs to end up where intended, in the belly of eaters who recognize the therapeutic value of this food and the contribution that local organic farmers are making them. Local Organic Farmers and larger scale organic farmers are leading our nation toward Food Reform and National Health.
Enchanted Garden Club Members prefer to pay their farmer rather than their doctor.
REDEFINING MEDICINE
Doctors, as well, will come to recognize that they are working hand to mouth with local and larger scaled organic farmers as a means of improving national Health Care.
Natural Supplements will continue to be needed as we return to Healthier States of Wellness.
"Medicine" itself has come to a place where it no longer reflects the need of people to invest in Preventive and Self Care. The United States, as a leader in true Democratic Principles embedded in the vision of our nation will return to a healthy respect for Nature and its medicines.
Heroic Measures including surgeries will continue to be needed, yet the foundation of good health is Traditional Medicine as offered for millennium from various cultures.

SUPPORT FOR FAIR TRADE BEGINS WITH YOUR PURCHASING DOLLAR
#CacaoFest 2015 was held on World Fair Trade Day, May 9. Fair Trade begins with our spending dollar. I see a day when the Fair Trade will be acknowledged as the primary label above GMO's. GMO' use Agriculture is Anti-Fair Trade. It is an attempt to beat the natural order. Agriculture is by nature, intensive and labor consuming. Those who produce our food supply need to be treated fairly.
This is why I champion those companies who are Fair Trade aware such as my sponsor Dr.Bronner All One.

CONCLUSIONS
The Story of Job is the Story of These Times. Things are lost. We Can have Faith. Things will come back better than ever! It is the story of Job's Tears, the Seed, the Legend, a Truth for Our Age.
This is the Greeting Card that tells the Story of Job as I Tell it here…
There is a legend told about a man (and this of course applies to woman) who lost all he had. He planted his tears,They grew into Seeds,Seeds of Job's Tears. The Seeds said, Plant Your Dream. He did. His dreams came true. So sow n Tears! Reap in Joy!
Learning to live together means becoming again a nation of heirloom gardeners using sustainable organic methods. It means living Post 911 in a world that cares about our neighbors and seeks out to make friends with those whose path comes in contact with our own.
This is no time to fear our future in spite of what we have personally done to harm and manipulate the weather because we forgot we that the #RareSeed we are is one with the @RareSeeds God and Nature made to inspire our voices along the soul path of doing Random Act of Kindness and growing senseless Acts of beauty.
May i forever see and find coming out of you the beauty I'm you I see the beauty i see in the garden.
Nature has smiles on you to make this world beautiful.
There are so many beautiful #RareSeeds in the world. There are so many Lighting a Single Candle in the Dark and lighting up our Whole World.
Here are a couple of those lovely faces that make we say,
"In You, I see the flowers I love so much in the garden. Nature Has smiled on you to make this world beautiful!'--Leslie Goldman
(Greeting Card #____).
Some are convinced that these are our latter days on earth, and many signs of the times in our stomachs and bowels and kidneys would suggest this, but who among us cannot see a deeper meaning that says each day is precious for us to turn our world into an #EnchantedGarden.
1000 years of peace can begin today for us individually through the legacy we leave in the heart of the next child we inspire to introduce to a fresh piece of sugar cane grown by an Asian farmer we meet at our local farmers market.

The #CampaigntoGrowaHealthierPizza was inspired to ask each person I meet to take their own own sacred #seeddreams out of the box and package and to #PlantYourDream. It was inspired in the knowledge that we can have 1000 years of peace based on inspired individual action and living their lives Intentionally to bring in The Enchanted Garden, a name for our renewed earth.
TAKE AN INTEREST IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, NEIGHBORHOOD, AND NEARBY SCHOOLS
Get to know your Neighbors and Look to them for Support
Look to your neighbors now to share in growing simple foods to be shared as my ally Ron Finley suggests. Study the wisdom of Sacred Seed Keepers who know that wisdom for how to live upon the earth will be personally bestowed to you as you take your own dreams out of the symbolic and literal pizza box and plant your dream!
This is Our Sacred Success Circle at the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost.
I am tending Sacred Seeds Dream here. Who will fill these chairs? Is it you? Do you hear the call, to live here, to visit, to carry forward a visit that we can make friends among our disparate selves, and within our neighborhood?

PROPS TO WHOLE FOODS MARKET
RESPONDING TO A CALL FOR UNITY THAT WER ALL GROW TOGETHER NOW
Walt Robb, Co-Ceo @WholeFoodsMarket inspired my #SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All! and the National Earth Day Weeks Promotion Plant Seeds Protect Pollinators inspired by SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
My own inspiration for Open Access to Food for All 9#OpenAccestoFood for All! ) as well as Open Access to Food for All Pollinators (#OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators ) were BOTH inspired by two projects that came out of @WholeFoodsMarket,
For more than 20 years, I have been part of the Press Corps of the Natural Product Expo West, #ExpoWest , the largest gathering of the natural products Industry. These is the yearly gathering where I see my sponsors face to face and share healing time.
I have been behind the camera witnessing profound generosity from the people that sometimes take the hits from being on the front lines of scale. The word "Scale" I first heard form Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Yogurt. He turned his smaller company over to a larger company so that more of the product could reach more people. The larger company had more access to more people. Often this approach has seemingly backfired when the larger entities are not aligned with the missions of the smaller companies, but I believe that ultimately everything works out for the good.
I have personal examples of friends in corporate positions who are building bridges and their good intentions seep upward.
Many who I have witness at #ExpoWest are same souls who ask questions like "how can we as an industry get healthier food to the underserved?"
Such was a question that @wholefoodsmarket Co-Ceo Walter Robb asked when he brought together some of the powerful and influential voices in the what I call the Cultivating Food Justice movement to The Natural Product Expo March 6. Because of his action, I met Ron Finley, who calls himself a Gangster for Mother Earth;, Will Allen, the famed community food organizer; Robin Emmons of SowMuchGood; and Bishop James Duke, a powerful voice in Chicago who works in a church seting.
Whole Foods Market has taking on a project to remedy the situation of the underserved through organizing a Whole Cities Foundation .

They receive and give back the bucks to help many, including pollinator.
Later around Earth Day, I was influenced by a promotional campaign where customers who shop were specifically asked to Plant Seeds to Protect Pollinators.
In my San Diego, I began to take special interest in pollinators, specifically Monarch Butterflies through kindling a relationship with our local arboretum, called the Trees for Health Garden in Balboa Park. I saw swarms of Monarch butterflies around a large stand of Milkweed plants. The plants themselves and the butterflies that inhabit them drive home the incredible relationship between plants and pollinators.
FIND AN ARBORETUM WHERE YOU LIVE
Find an arboretum where you live. We have reached a time when Medicine is now defined as something from a bottle. One of my most healing experiences this year, was picking wild Stinging Nettles that are specifics for my own health conditions.
NOTE ON RON FINLEY
I have been deeply inspired by Ron Finley, who called himself a Gangster for Mother Earth when I heard him speak. Out of his desire to grow his own food, entire laws in Los Angels were changed to make food growing more accessible and allowing on city property.
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
In San Diego, we have had friendly laws on the books for numbers of years.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
Planting #Seed Dreams with Enviro-Business Society e3 Members
April 30, 2015. These are our initial goals for Food Reform at SDSU.
Most college campuses are as underserved by real food as those who live in food deserts. Most youth simple do not know what real food is, and this is tragic.
Food Reform will take place in our schools. I want to encourage you to get involved in the schools in your neighborhood.
My own project on campus is geared to my closest Campus, San Diego State University.
WASTE NO WATER
The issue of climate shift will clearly impact the foods we can grow, however, I can only testify to the reality that there are Sacred mystical relationship between our Souls and the Seeds themselves.
Not long ago, around Earth Day, I had some of the Pollinator Seeds from the Whole Foods Campaign blessed at a SDSU Pow Pow. The sky opened and there were light drops as the seeds were blessed. I was calling down the rain.
A few hours later, I was sitting at our Sacred Success Circle waiting for the rain to fall before I put my few blessed seeds in the ground. It was getting cold and dark, and so I got down on my knees and put the seeds in the ground. The second I did, it began to rain.
The message I want to share with you, is please do not wait on your dreams. Plant them now. Their are lead scientists with expertise in Climate who are already grieving the end of the human race as we know it. Study the work of Guy McPherson. It is interesting. I for one, approach the world in a different way that goes beyond science.
I encourage you to Plant Your Dream.
Joining the Enchanted Garden Club & Planting #SeedDreams
Most of the important teachings I share are in pizza boxes affixed to the old recycled pizza box card stock.
Among these teachings are the #sacredSeedPrayer that you will find in The Light Connection article I wrote last summer. I want to send the words of the Enchanted Garden Membership your way now.
Oh, patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
I accept your fulfillment as a by-product
of my own fertile deep dreams flowering.
Remind me that all natural things
on earth grow from seeds.
Open in me the wisdom
contained in a tiny seed that I might too experience
how dreams grow naturally.
The Enchanted Garden,
a name for the new Earth
growing through me, starts here and now!

INTRODUCTION
THE PROJECT BEGINS --FOOD ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL
Leslie Plants #OpenAccess with Ron Finley at #expoWest
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
#RonFinley was a 2015 San Diego State University #Greenfest speaker. I heard him just around the same time at #expowest.
Expo west, The natural products expo west is a yearly event in nearby Anaheim where the top organic and natural food entrepreneurs gather to network and do business each year with their industry. I see #expowest as soon important place for #e3 Cream of the crop @RareSeed future sustainability, and marketing entrepreneurs and more society shifters to interact with potential future employers. I plan to facilitate some of these interactions.
#OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL TAKES ROOT AT SDSU
Because I live within walking distance of the more than 35,000 student population and because of my long time witness of the #e3 club on campus, investing my positive energy to uplift students is a natural fit for my #openaccesstofood for all and my #open access to food for all pollinators projects.
This August and September I plan to be on the road toward the national heirloom expo and beyond. My current need is to stabilize my home environment. I'm finding that contact with the student #E3 members, Numbers who are inviting participation here at the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost is a natural fit.
I spoke and gave an inspired message that was at last #e3 meeting of the semester April 29. I followed up with doing research with the current status of the #SDSU farmers market and current on campus meal plan offerings with up and coming student leader Drew, #e3 member. We made some videos and took photos that are part of this Facebook album. I have been having incredible inspired adventures in recent weeks informing me that now is the time to dads many #seeddreams.
Bridget Rickman Took Notes on Seed Dreams for SDSU
These are photos from my interactions with these @ rareSeeds #E3 members. The future of our Earth it's in their hands. As Leslie Goldman, Your enchanted Gardener I will invite nature and life itself, and my sponsors toextend life forces toward the fulfillment of these #Seeddreams
These include:
1. Plant milkweed
Food for pollinators on campus . Just one milkweed plant to get it going.
2. Improve campus meal plan
begin this Weekend with inviting BrBridget Rickmanridget and Drew to Hillcrest Farmer's market this Sunday to pick out some organic food and get the idea.
Suggest #e3 make contact with University of Redlands. Students there have access to organic food served in the cafeteria and a garden nearby where students work and sell food to the kitchen.
3. SDSU, healthier food options in the meal plan. Fresh food less fast food as a choice.
Have students do research on products and their effects on health. Raising awareness about healthier food and why making healthier food choices is important.
4. More organic foods in the meal plan.
5. Healthier food options including Ancient non GMO Organic wheat at Oggis pizza on campus.
Note: I already met the manager here. He is used to doing special organic pizza dough at the request of Glen.
6. Farmers market improvements
More farmers with fresh vegetables and fruit.
There is a SDSU Farmers market on campus from 10 to 3 many Thursdays during the school year.
Begin with #e3 's having fresh strawberries from #J.R. Organics CSA
Quick and easy organic snacks presented by #e3.
The trip to Hillcrest Farmer's market, this Sunday.

#PlantYourDream is the key to bringing in 1000 years piece for our world. We either live in a world created by someone else's dream or a world that is uplifted through the dreams we plan to ourselves that our soul inspired.
This is Monique. Planting her dreams at our #SacredSeedOutpost that #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost that aims to become an #EnchantedGardenIntentionalCommunity . The enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth. It grows one @RareSeed at a time as we age when back our sacred seeds. Sacred seed is a metaphor as well as a literal heirloom original seed grown out by organic sustainable methods. When I use the word @RareSeeds I am making reference to our collective identity as being individual sacred seeds as human beings. I'm also making reference to Baker Creek heirloom seed company Who uses that #. Jere Gettle, the founder, is archetypal to me of the thousands of individual #RareSeeds Who have found their soul expressions, their Voice through personal and individual #FoodReform.
My umbrella #Campaigns #EnchantedGarden campaigns for 2015 include. #WinningBack OurSacredSeeds and #TheEnchantedGarden MobilesJouneyto WinBackOurSacredSeeds
#Open access to food for all and open access to food for all pollinators. And open access to food for SDSU students are among current #PkantYourDreamBlogs.
I also take great joy in working with local farmers and their families and employees at my local farmers market's. #The come back of JoetheFarmer
Literal reference to uplifting the fifth generation Rodriguez Family as well as seen the archetype of #Joe thefarmer as The plight of every local organic farmer striving today to value and balance providing nutrition per acre as well as sustainable profit per acre.
I'm constantly looking for to #CultivateFoodJustice
Working with the local #hope restored Swahili speaking community located on grounds of the #HillcrestFarmerMarket also excites me..

CEREMONY WORK AT #CACAO FEST MAY 9, 2015
Added May 13, 2015
This was my display at the Opening Ceremony of #CacaoFest 2015 May 9, 2015. The water bottle was filled with the #CacaoFestRain that fell miraculously the day before. I felt the rain was a Blessing from Nature that was smiling on this event that was calling attention to the Indigenous people who stand behind #fortheloveofchocolate a theme of #CacaoFest 2015.
Other Ceremonial objects in this photo included two posters from Dr. Bronner's ALL-ONE love philosophy, a basket of Job's Tears Seed Packets, two pots of #SeedDreams that were used through the day with the invite to #PlantYourDream, and a basket of aged @RareSeeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company via the Petaluma Seed Bank and Paul Wallace the Aged seed were given as gifts to the Danza Dancers and its leader Alejandro Meraz Chichiltekolotl There is also a Milkweed Plant in this picture and Organic Sunflower Seeds from Whole Foods Market Hillcrest and their #PartyforthePollinators Earth weeks campaign initiated nationally by @Wholefoodsmarket

The Earth is Ours
We need a Reorientation to life.
This Earth is Ours. It belongs to all of us.
We are all growing in the same pot, that is one of my Enchanted Garden Teachings. I am interesting in the causes of how we got to this place. Let's ask those who are taking up too much space in the single pot where we all grow to take less place, and for those who need to be represented to have their own fair share of space.
The Problem with GMOs is that many who are investing in this core idea have lost their moral compass. Profit has superseded the fundamental principle that we are all growing in the same pot.
I am convinced that many who are following the path of Biotech well meaning people, and yet it is time that GMO lovers and organic lovers talk if our Growing in ALL ONe pot is to not only "Survive This Day" but thrive.
Being the Rare Seed you are, taking your dream out of the pizza box, out of the silver box is a step in the right direction.
The March Against Monsanto and Outgrowing GMOs Through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
The March Against Monsanto is a growing movement that i support> I believe Monsanto is being asked by nature herself to stop it! The high cost of going this way gives profits but bears the fruit of bad hunan health and plagues upon us.
Nature always wins. An organic uprising within Rare Seeds wi;; prevail, and the number of actually @rareSeeds growing will prevail because this is the moral and ethical thing to do.
Monsanto is indicative of making war against nature.
This is a lost cause.
People will learn to feed themselves.

OUTTAKES
These documents have put many on the path to knowing the seeds they want to plant. Most people already know when I ask them to pull their dreams out of the Box I carry.
The March toward Being the Rare Seed you are
I am not against Marching Against Monsanto. For one it brings those of us together who need to come together, together, Marching does ask people to ask questions who have still not even heard of GMOs; yet, I want to give you here some Tips for Outgrowing GMOs based on Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds,. Then I want to reflect briefly on some of the Rare Seeds who have inspired my own life and work in the last numbers of years.
OUTTAKES
SACRED SEED, SACRED PLANT!
The Sacred Seed Prayer is another central pillar of my work.
I read "Sacred Seed! Sacred Plant" in my talk at #MAM San Diego. Those present received these words:
Sacred Seed, Sacred Plant!
I hold you in my hands,
and I hold you as my future.
Thank you for representing the wishes
I am planting.
As you grow, so will my Seed Dreams.
Growing you will help me
celebrate the harvest in my life.
Thank you for reminding me
I am a Sacred Seed.
Thank you for reminding me
that the Universe thrives as I thrive.
Today we grow a new Enchanted Garden,
a renewed Earth!
Why We Need To Win Back Our Sacred Seeds
http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1953123
This appears in The Life Connection Article here
http://lifeconnectionmagazine.com/helping-uncle-sam-marry-anti-gmo/
Not knowing how to grow some of your own food is sacra-religious, it is ungodly. so all i ask is grow one potful and you con join the Enchanted Garden Club in good members standing.
Not knowing who is growing your food is like being intimate with a stranger, so rather than dissipate all your vitality shouting against, please make sure that you are finding time to water our plant friends and in doing so water who you really are and your dreams.
Our greatest natural resource is a fully alive human being, and yet the profit motive has interceded and turned food into a commodity.
Know Your Farmer. Know Your Food
This is the second part of eating. Get to know and support local organic + organic plus farmers. Get to know farmers on a first name basis. This is Fair Trade. It means being aware of the whole food chain that feeds you. When you hesitate to at pay $2.50 for loved greens, from a local Farmers Market grower working against the most adverse conditions of extreme water, transportation costs, and treating their workers fairly with just wages, remember the doctor bill is included through prevention. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor. it is less expensive.
Food is Intended to help Plant Your Dream
The intent of Food is to help You Plant Your Dream
The intent of food is to give you what you need in internal support to give full expression and voice to your dreams.
Food is Dream Food. It is intended to help us Plant Your Dream and find Full Self Expression
Food needs a redefinition. Food is a reference point for Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds as well as Outgrowing GMOs. I would suggest beginning to Grow some Seeds and a beet Root in a pot with deep reverence for life. This is an important tip.
Planet Earth is Taking Organic Steps Now to Thrive Again Through You
Planet Earth is taking organic steps now to thrive again. The key to Earth Recovery is the emergence of #RareSeed on the Heros journey who are willing to turn breakdowns into Soul level break throughs and make course corrections. The earth responds to all we do. I have also experienced rain coming to my parched back yard as I plant intentions with living seeds that express what I want to harvest.
Look to our disconnection from our nature and our entrained eating habits and you will find behavior that has taken us to the brink of losing our planet home. The earth will go on. It is we, as a human race, racing too fast, that has the option to follow in the ways of the dinosaur or come into harmony again with the beat of nature.
Our kids have been sold out for more than 100 years to the profit motive, regardless of the good that government does, and this good is profound.
Our economy cannot improve through going the way of GMOs applied to agriculture. GMOs applied as a fundamental principle of medicine takes us farther from the necessity to learn about self care.
This is why the non-Gmo. Organic, and Fair trade movement feels so right.
What will it take to turn the condition of the world around from entropy to health?
I believe to have 1000 years of years will come as the harvest of 1000's of us Planting our #Rare Seeds in fertile soil and inspiring, through our actions, others to do the same.
THE GOOD NEWS HAS ARRIVED!
In spite of what bad science tells us based on facts that amazingly see merely the tail on the elephant rather than the whole, many of us are we are living today ignorant of Natures Original Technology. I am asking you to turn the equation around beginning with yourself.
Youth, the holders of our future, when developed by the same laws that govern plants, thrive. They are in awe of seeds.
Bottomline, there are just too many food people wanting to live, and np Barnum and Bailey approach to selling us a bill of goods can prevail.
What Nature is Asking of You Now
And so I ask this of you:
The Enchanted Garden Welcomes You!
Here is a reference point. The Enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed Earth that grows one seed at a time, one dream at a time.
Here is the Enchanted Garden Club Membership:
I ask that you soak these words in:
JOINING THE ENCHANTED GARDEN CLUB
I'm here to align with each of you that you and i are Sacred Seeds, #RareSeeds, and by planting our intentions with Heirloom original seeds, that carry the genetic biodiverse multicultural integrity inherent in healthy planetary living, we are taking a stand in the world to stand up with a healthy voice as one more inspiration in the world. We accept that living in a multi-cultural existence is our chosen destiny. We are choosing to find ways to live peacefully among many kinds of peoples, their plants and their real foods. Many diverse cultures are intended to learn to live together in one "single pot," the single pot being a metaphor for our All-One Earth. As Dr Emanuel Bronner soap master once said in his Moral ABC's And as expressed by his descendants in the Dr Bronner statement of intent "In all we do, let us be generous, Fai & Loving to Spaceship Earth and all it inhabitants for we're AL-ONE or None! ALL_ONE!"
To these words I offer the Enchanted Garden Club Membership for grounding our Spaceship:
Joining the Enchanted Garden Club & Planting #SeedDreams
Oh, patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
I accept your fulfillment as a by-product
of my own fertile deep dreams flowering.
Remind me that all natural things
on earth grow from seeds.
Open in me the wisdom
contained in a tiny seed that I might too experience
how dreams grow naturally.
The Enchanted Garden,
a name for the new Earth
growing through me, starts here and now!
You are invited to Join the Enchanted Garden Club Online
There is also an invite to join the Enchanted Garden Club, a universal statement of our right relationship to the Earth, as well as my network of support.

RARE SEEDS AMONG US
My premise is that we will have 1000 years of peace based on the influence of Rare Seeds in the world living out their Soul Purpose. I want to acknowledge and celebrate the following Rare Seeds who have influenced my own Journey and inspired my writing.
ENTER JERE GETTLE, BAKER CREEK HEIRLOOM SEED COMPANY AND THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO
My Own life Journey was Influenced by 17 year old Jere Gettle about 17-years ago. He loved original Heirloom Seed. He saw them disappearing from the catalogues he would view. He decided to do something about it. He created his own catalogue that 17 or more years later has become a collectors item and one of the most beautiful Seed Catalogues produced in the world.
Jere Gettle at the National Heirloom Expo Santa Rosa, CA. Jere Gettle is a #RareSeed Freedom Hero and I am proud to know him
Today, The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company collection has more than 1600 varieties from around the world. Each time we grow and harvest one of these open pollinated non gmo seeds, we are upholding gene integrity in the world. Jere and his family travel around the world, doing what he loves best, meeting fellow farmers and collecting their @rareseeds.
Some wonder why the Baker Creek Collection is not labeled "Certified Organic." This is because this is a collection intended for backyard gardeners, rather than commercial growers. Many of the varieties are small in number. He personally choices sustainable methods of seed growing. The collection is GMO Free and this is important to Jere Gettle
From the dream of a 17-year old, now 34 or so, has risen up a legion of backyard gardeners, excited by heirloom seeds and Pure Food Activites who attend The National Heirloom Exposition, an annual event in Santa Rosa, this year September 8-10, 2015.
I am firmly on board, doing all I can to spread the good word about Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. I Teach at the National Heirloom Expo
I am deeply honored to teach, and be a part of this Agricultural Fair. On Education and Fun Day, I give away Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company seeds throughout the year to kids and special projects that come my way. It is truly inspiring to see how many children today have an excitement about seeds. At our activity with kids to grind original wheat to see how seeds can become bread When I am with adults, I invite the, to plant intentions with living seeds showing them a pretty box and relating the story that it is our job in life to take our dreams out of the box and our life out of packages. A number of years ago, I felt I was losing my health, and I am still working hard to stay healthy; and yet finding my passion, being the California Johnnie Appleseed for these Heirloom Seeds gives my life passion and meaning. That, my friend, heals.

Enter Paul Wallace, Petaluma Seed Bank
Paul Wallace and me, Leslie Goldman, at the Petaluma Seed Bank
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company is located in Bakersville, Missouri. The California home of Baker Creek is The Petaluma Seed Bank. Located in an historic Bank Building that once housed money, the vault now protect @RareSeeds. Once a year, Paul travels to the Natural Project Expo, and at the 2015 event, we spent quality time together. I am a member of the Press Corps for #ExpoWest, and have significant friendships at this event as well as understand where to be when. In less than a few minutes at one point, Paul fulfilled his goals to meet potential sponsors for the 2015 show. It was an incredible bonding experience for both of us to spend time together. Paul Wallace is a giant of man in spirit and heart, and he knows how to grow food. Paul is the director of both the Petaluma Seed Bank as well as the National Heirloom Expo.
When I imagine the challenge of the journey, to drive the EG Mobile from San Diego to Santa Rosa, CA, it is the thought of having the destination of the Petaluma Seed Bank that gives me direction.
Paul Wallace is an inspiration in my life. He is a Rare Seed among men and I am uplifted through our conversations. It is an honor to feel a part of the Baker Creek family. Paul has been my primary contact in building that relationship.
I am holding a vision, a Seed Dream inspired by the Petaluma Seed Bank that one day all banks will have Heirloom Seed Banks. Increasingly, more and more people will wake up to see the importance of valuing seeds. More and more communities will have localized banks of Heirloom Seeds. It will be good to help foster that dream.
ENTER THE DR BRONNER FAMILY THAT MODELS GIVING BACK AND APPLYING PRINCIPLES OF MORAL ABCs
This is a photo of David Bronner, Lisa Bronner and me, Leslie Goldman at Golden Hall when the count was coming in on Prop 37 in 2012. David, and the Bronner Family has funded numbers of the GMO Labeling Campaigns, as well as my own projects. I clearly see we have lost our Compass, the direction of our Moral ABC's that include the education that comes when we grow some of our own food. We can regain our compass through regaining a Beet our Beet with Nature….I ask you to Keep The Beet. Grow a Beet in a Pot. Grow and Eat some of your own Food.
Daisy Gwin Pins Leslie with the World's Fair Trade Button at #CacaoFest May 9, 2015
What an honor to meet member of the Dr. Bronner's ALL-ONE Family May 9 at the San Diego #CacaoFest and have her pin me on World's Fair Trade Day with a button that says, World's Fair Trade Day!
When you visit the Plant Your Dream Blog site Worldpress, you will find the sponsors whose products I believe in. Here is a Blog that describes Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds and the copy for the upcoming Fifth Annual National Product Expo. Please feel feel to become familiar with some of the companies I admire. They are in the world to serve and care about Non Gmo, Organic, and Fair Trade.

ENTER INDIVIDUALS PLACED IN CORPORATE ROLES WHO ARE DOING PROFOUND GOOD TO UPLIFT PEOPLE IN THEIR ORGANZATIONA WHO BEGIN ONE WAY AND END UP AS ORGANIC AND SUPPORTING NON GMO CAUSES
It Is by the influence of individuals that we will rise up, and these individuals are well places where they can uplift by their personal examples.
WALT ROBB WHOLE FOODS CEO IS A FOOD ACTIVIST IN MY EYES
Whole Foods Market has been on the Cutting Edge Inspiring #OpenAccesstoFood and #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
Walt Robb, Co-Ceo @WholeFoodsMarket inspired my #SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All! and the National Earth Day Weeks Promotion Plant Seeds Protect Pollinators inspired by SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
Among these I name Walt Robb of Whole Foods, who I have profoundly noticed calling upon the Natural Product industry to take Action toward Open Access for Food for All!
It is when the Corporations themselves lead the way, that other corporations will follow.
Meeting Rare Seed Ron Finley
What would I like to grow next Here at Home? Ron Finley, L.A. Guerrilla Gardener has Inspired Me
I met and planted Seeds with Ron Finley, Central LA's Guerrilla Gardener, at the Natural Product Expo West 2015. He was speaking from the audience as part of a Super Session that was looking at issues of Food Access to the underserved.
Finley was arrested for planting food on the strip in front of his house on city property in an area of Los Angeles where people deeply need fresh food. The outcome was that neighbors and friends throughout Los Angeles responded. The law was changed that now allows more open access to food. Through growing it.
We can do the same in San Diego and all cities. We can reestablish our connection with growing food and induce up in doing so when back our sacred seeds. Very active growing food helps us grow GMO's. GMO's are a butt byproduct of us giving up our right to grow food to other people. We can't beat the system or attempt to do that and that is what GMO's are attempting.
Talk about that in this powerful video.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS
HERE ARE TWO SEEDS AND ONE ROOT, A BEET ROOT THAT I SUGGEST FOR BEGINNERS
INTRODUCING THE GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA STARTER KIT
Get some Kamut® Knorasan ancient wheat and begin to grow it in a pot. Soak the seeds a day or two, then plant them. The teaching that goes with this ancient grain are many. They include seeing that grass grows very quickly. The teaching here is: "How Fast Can a Dream Grow? ~As Fast as a Blade of Grass!
I have lots of material to support the growing of wheat in a pot. Begin here.
WHEAT IS COMING HOME TO HAUNT AND INSPIRE US
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2075749
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Kit is also available, and will be availing as part of the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection.
I have a full article that appeared in The Life Connection in 2013. Please Google "Wheat has come to Haunt us and Inspire us!
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2075749
GET ENGAGED:
HELPING UNCLE SAM GET MARRIED TO "ANTI" (AUNTIE) GMO
WE Gotta get engaged (in growing some of our food) before They (Uncle Sam and Anti-GMO) get married!
THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA is my focus point for inspiring the growing of wheat as a way to Grow A Healthier Pizza. The Campaign teaches that when thousands and thousands of new gardeners get engaged in growing their own food with heirloom seeds and ancient grains, this will lead to Uncle Sam getting engaged to Anti (Auntie) GMO,
The Rising Up of Auntie GMO….Please help breathe increased life and vitality into Anti (Auntie) GMO. Organic Seeds of Kamut® Khorasan Ancient Grain have been called the Prophet's Wheat. Grow them. They will teach you many lessons. Plant Your Dream with these seeds. Harvest your Intentions. My Dream is that you will help Grow A Healthier Pizza. In growing more of our food, we will inspire a Grassroots movement that restores America the Beautiful into the hands of mer Eminent Gardeners. Be That Gardener. Will back our Sacred Seeds. --Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener To Learn more about Uncle Sam Marries "Anti" Auntie GMO.
THE SECOND SEED I WOULD LIKE YOU TO GROW IS CALLED JOB's TEARS
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit and Grow A Necklace for Kids Seeds
My own seed dream is that I will soon have two seed packets added to the Baker Creek line.
The first is based on a Campaign I have called Grow A Healthier Pizza
https://www.facebook.com/GrowAHealthierPizza?fref=ts in response to the the state of Pizza described.
The second seed is an archetypal seed called Job's Tears.
Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds
The story of Job for me is the seed for these times. We have near lost everything our health and wealth, but we cannot lose faith. I am looking for growers to begin growing out these for the most part ornamental seeds that can be turned into necklaces for kids, i.e, Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds.
Job's Tear seeds come with a hole already running through them. All you have to do is push a thin wire through the hole.
THE THIRD PLANT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO GROW IS A FULL GROWN BEET ROOT. I CALL THIS PROJECT KEEP THE BEET
It's central focus is a mythical and mystical character named "Keep The Beet Media Star, The World's First Talking Beet Plant.
When you grow a beet in a pot, imagine that you are giving life to Keep The Beet. One Beet, Many Pulses, as the Teaching goes.
KEEP THE BEET LINKS
You can get a glimpse of this project here on Beet Keepers of the World Unite
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=1209704
How to Grow Your Beet in a Pot
Get a full grown beet from a local organic farmer, if possible. Cut the beet greens off and steam them. Plant the Beet Root in a pot in fertile soil. The Beet will continue to produce Beet Greens.
I have many articles I have written about Keep The Beet, personified by Keep the Beet Media Star, The World's First Talking Beet Plant.
I was doing the Keep the Beet project for numbers of years, until I went on to other seeds.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Keep-The-Beet-Media-Star-The-Worlds-First-Talking-Beet-Plant/393010610718704?sk=timeline
Each heirloom seed tells a story, the very experience of growing food, and tending a plant I care for inspires me. I hope it does this for you too.
Agriculture is not what Large Scale Commercials Growers imagine it is and the potential of food to be Our Medicine is outside their Profit Motive
The way of Agriculture, within these years, is shifting. It is becoming local out of necessity. The failed system of monoculture and large scale farming, that imagined they could Beat the System with the same war chemicals that Monsanto and others produced during WW2 are leaving us with depleted soils, and all these but chemical operations are now being supplanted by other GMO BioTechology that is inherently more damaging to both plants and people. The chemicals ultimately have failed us, and the Biotech applications of GMO to agriculture is failing us.
Basically, we need to go back to the drawing board and recognize that by investing in each other's dreams, and through using Nature as an ally, rather than making war against nature, we will return our earth to being an Enchanted Garden.
This is not something that large scale commercial Ag wants, but it is what the earth wants, and it is what was in the vision of the Founding Rare Seeds who started the US.
We can only go so far before Nature shows us, through melting ice caps or shortages of rain and oil disasters that we are banking on the wrong technology.
Sadly, this is what those who are pulling the strings on Uncle Sam imagine is good for our economy, but the truth is our economy and our money system as we know it, is failing.
As I wrote in last years, campaign we can help Uncle Sam take steps to Marry Auntie GMO, and this comes as we get on board with growing some of our own food, that fundamentally shifts consciousness.
NOTES ON THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE AS WE KNOW IT TODAY
FAILED BIOTECH TECHNOLOGY IN THE FARM FIELD VS NATURE'S ORIGINAL TECHNOLOGY
The Current Technology Advanced by Monsanto is a Failed System

Samples from the #PlantYourDreamBlog Non GMO-Organic-and Fair Trade Shopping Guide
Dr Bronner ALL-ONE Products are among those featured in the PlantYourDeam Non Gmo, Orgnanic & Fair Trade Shopping Guide.
Increasingly, on the Plant Your Dream WordPress site, I am focused on sharing stories about individuals, projects & events- of those I consider in Our Non GMO, ORganic, and Fair Trade Shopping Guide. I believe we are spreading the Tipping Point of Outgrow GMO's and Bring in the Enchanted Garden through the way we encourage others through support of their projects.
On my road trips, local as well as distant, I have samples of creations from various Enchanted Garden Club members and sponsors of my work in the world. These are freely given at times to alert those I need to my own choices of companies and individuals I support and who support me.
What will it take to turn our world from Entropy through Survival to Thriving?
Bottom line, it will take you! It will take thousands and thousands of #Rare Seeds in the world who make up a profound Grass Roots movement of Beet Keepers, by this I mean inspirational people who Keep The Beat with Nature.
It will take you re-establishing your relationship to the Sacred Seed you are and the Sacred Seeds in the world.
Look at the Seed. Look Deeply at an Ancient Grain of wheat and grow some out!
This is what Edmond Bordeaux Szekely found:
GET YOUR GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA STARTER KIT
Get Your Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit at the National Heirloom Expo when you join the Enchanted Garden Club! Plant Your Dream Seeds are waiting for you! Professor Edmond B Szekely told a story about a King who once lost his "crown" and regained it . You too, can help grow a Grassroots movement that Wins Back Our Original Sacred Seeds.
Monsanto is a failed technology. More and More people are hearing about it and coming to this conclusion
Monsanto will only be around supporting its current technology so long. They will fail in the marketplace not so much by what they do, but because more and more people will spend their dollars on non GMO, Organic, and Fair Trade companies who set examples of generosity of spirit, and profoundly give back to their communities.
The Call for Unity
Many of these companies, and I have met their leaders, are RareSeeds. I want to make it clear as well, there are Rare Seeds well placed within the corporate framework. It is important to focus on creating unity among all segments who support Culvitating a Grass Roots Movement that will make the shift that is needed, a shift back to living in Harmony with nature.
rather than splitting our results by in fighting within the movement intended to work together to grow the Greatest Grass Roots movement our nation has known.
The Writing is On The Wall…The Future of Monsanto is that they will one day admit to their failed Technology and then Attempt to Usurp Ours
No matter how good the PR of Monsanto, et all, how deep their Moneybags to buy elections with misinformation, more than likely, they will one day, because of loss of market share of foods sold, admit the errors of their ways, their failed technology, and then attempt to continue their profit motives through selling us the organic seeds that they are already stockpiling at a price that places extreme value on our remaining Heirloom Seeds.
Our intent needs to be: Support the creation of #RareSeeds and their "Prophet" making motives--the movement to bring the best out of us. Our intent needs to be to look ahead. Begin to recognize that Label GMOs and outlawing GMOs may be the battleground, and corporation attempts to restrict our Labeling attempts may pass, however, win or lose the victory lap belongs to those who come to see that heirloom seeds are Sacred Seeds are to be revered. Learn to grow your own food, because RareSeeds grow some of their own food. It goes with the territory of being fully human. Again, I want to underscore, become intimate with growing just a few seeds you befriend, and that you grow in a pot, gives you good standing as an Enchanted Gardener.
Briefly, here are some TIps for Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds and as a byproduct Outgrowing GMOs
I am asking you to march toward where the earth is headed and toward the Rare Seed you are intended to be. I want to give you some reference points.
I am sharing a few Inner and Outer Gardening tips that I hope you will hear first hand when I travel in my 68 VW Van called the Enchanted Garden Mobile from San Diego to Santa Rosa projected for August and September 2015. on a journey sponsored by the companies I admire. I plan to make stops along the way visiting Whole Foods Markets where the products I admire our sold; as well as visit farmers markets, and other stops where I will deliver my message.

INSPIRATION FOR THE LIGHT CONNECTION STORY "WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS." THANK YOU TO MEMBERS OF #e3's of SDSU, MEMBERS OF HOPE RESTORED, AND THE ENCHANTED GARDEN MOBILE
This story, "Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds" intended for The Life Connection magazine (started May 1) is inspired by the nearby students of San Diego State University e3 Enviro-Business Society on-campus club; members at the Hope Restored Swahili speaking church on the street where the Hillcrest Farmers' Market is held; and to my incredible friends on Facebook who provide an invaluable Feedback loop.
My 68 VW Van, The Enchanted Garden Mobile, is an almost daily conversation starter. Many who stop to ask questions about her soon realize that this more than 40-year old creation with heart is on a mission named #TheEnchantedGardenMobilesJourneytoWinBackOurSacredSeeds. i invite you to follow our journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds on the Facebook site.
Bridget Moore, outgoing e3 President (L) Leslie Goldman (that's me, and Faina Margulis, one of two incoming presidents.
Leslie, that's me, with Z, and Pastor Augustin Tuzolana of the Hope Restored Swahili Church that meets at 2 pm each Sunday. The address is 3920 Normal St, San Diego, CA 92103 on the same block as the Hillcrest Farmers' Market located at the Hillcrest DMV. The church welcomes visitors. The spirit of the choir is inspiring and has maintained its authentic soul of Africa. I have a dream to influence the health of the youth of this church community by sharing Farmers' Market foods with them, foods that as well feed the soul. I would like to help develop a relationship between the farmers and community church members leading toward improving the nutrition of the community members as well as increasing sales for the farmers who often have amounts of high quality healthy fresh food that goes unsold at the end of the weekly 9 am-2 pm Sunday Hillcrest Farmers' Market. The generosity of the farmers toward my campaign has been kind. You can help support the success of this project--Open Access to Food for All-- by shopping the Hillcrest Farmers' Market and making sure that the food my favorite farmers grow ends up where it is suppose to--your stomach.
Photo of the Rodriguez family, Papa Joe and Goyo. The Rodriquez fifth generation farming family have more than 20 Farmers Market outlets in SoCal. Here is a List. Please support them and other local farmers with your food spending dollar. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor.
Shopping Your Local Farmers Market Encourages Local Fair Trade
What does all this have to do with Fair Trade? Our farmers deserve fair wage for all their hard work. They are dependent on you shopping at your local farmers market and making this part of your weekly shopping experience, and you choosing to become a member of a local CSA, their Community Supported Agriculture programs. With the number of healthy mouths to feed in San Diego County, all our local organic farmers and their needs can be met as you play your part in supporting our local farm economy.
To Win Back Your Own Sacred Seed, please grow some of your own food. This is our birthright. Being responsible for tending one pot of growing food can make a difference in rooting your dreams and can teach you many lessons. It is important as well to be on a first name basis with the farmers growing the rest of your food. Not knowing whose growing your food is like being "intimate" with a stranger.
THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE NOW LISTS FARMERS' MARKET OUTLETS
For those in San Diego County, I want to recommend the local Life Connection Magazine, coming out monthly, that now features stories and photos from the San Diego Farmers' Markets. Here is a example from the May 2015 issue and its Farmers market Directory
Thanks to Steve Hays and The Life Connection Magazine
I thank Steve Hays, publisher of The Life Connection Magazine, San Diego and his staff person Amelia Leigh for encouraging conversations regarding collaborations together. This uplifts my heart. Steve epitomizes perseverance. The Life Connection has published for more than 30 years, recording a history that might not have been told otherwise. I write a story for The Life Connection Magazine around this time of year. You can read the stories I have written online. Helping Uncle Sam Marry Anti-GMO was my 2014 story.
Steve Hays and Amelia Leigh visited the Hillcrest Farmers'Market on May 10, Mothers Day. Their Seed Dream was to open up outlets for distribution. We began the process here through introductions to some of my Hillcrest Farmers' Market Community.
THIS IS A GRAPHIC I MADE TO ENCOURAGE THE SEED DREAM OF OUTLETS FOR THE LIFE CONNECTION

Thank you for making it possible for there to be one more Enchanted Gardener in the world.-- Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener, #PlantYourDreamBlog, May 2015.
The Alternative to Growing Heirloom and Organic Seeds is the One Side Fits All Model
The alternative to planting heirloom seeds and becoming again a nation of small scale farmers, is the "One Seed Fits All Model " that is currently being promoted by Industrial Agricultural that I see going the way of the dinosaur, Propelled by chemicals and our last remaining oil and water resources, it has not yet recognized it no longer is a vital system breeding health for all. Leave it to Industrial Ag and they would give us a square tomato, one size that fits in boxes that can be shipped across country. The latest inventions are commercial corn that is more for feeding car engines with imagined fuel alternatives than people.
Meanwhile, as Jere Gettle of Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds tests for GMO content, he find smore and more contamination in the corn crop diversity of the world. The Genetic corn developed harms the diverse gene pool. It kills off biodiversity and the indigenous people of the world see this.
FAIR TRADE PROJECT NOTES
According to the Fair World Project, Industrial Ag has a direct relationship to Climate Change, where as Small-Scale Farmers and gardeners Cool the Planet and Feed the world. Their information reports that the U.N SPecial Rapporteur on the RIght to Food estimates that small farms produce up to 80% of the food in the non-industrialed world.
Http://www.Fairworldproject.org
Many in the U.S. and a few nations are still being taken in by the BioTech model of growing commodities that pass as food. This model goes hand in hand with what are imagined to be a technology that can work. Our US government, sadly, is in bed with this model of Agriculture that is promoted by science as they know is known.
Meanwhile, sustainable models of organic agriculture continue to prove that they time tested methods can feed the world as they have always done.
There is a force, an indigenous power in sync with the natural elements that has always been in the world. THat force says, Plant Your Dream and plant it with the Rare Seeds that ask now to be grown out by you in your own backyard, or in something as small as a single pot.
LESSONS THE RAIN TAUGHT ME
I am a Ceremonialist by Nature and for Nature
This photo of Alejandro Meraz Chichiltekolotl of the Danza Azteca with me is from the the #CacaoFest 2015 Opening Ceremony. I included this Milkweed plant in the Sacred Circle to bring awareness that through planting this, the Food of Monarch Butterflies, we can help provide #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators. That is one of my 2015 themes under the Umbrella #WinningBackOurSacredSeeds TheEnchanted Garden Mobile on her Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds was a big hit at the CacaoFest.
Photo on my hands and knows by Monique…
As Your Enchanted Gardener, I am a ceremonialist by nature. The world we live in today is an expression of the Seeds that began as one person's dream or another. The solutions exist in each of us and they are connected to the issues that have brought us to the place of human extinction and can bring us from "Survive This Day" to thriving on Earth.
I have been inspired by recent rains, that have lifted my spirit. I have a rule, when it rains, I collect the rain, and when there is a chance of rain, I plant seeds.
Doing Ceremony at the Opening of the #CacaoFest May 9. We had a rain that fell the day before this San Diego Gathering. The gathering acknowledged the Indigenous Peoples behind our Love of Chocolate. The event happened on World Fair Trade Day, May 9. I gave voice to the spirit of the event and well as its timing. In this photo I am holding a glass container of the rain that I named the #CacaoFestRain. I collected the rain that fell the day before I used to water our dreams that were planted at the festival.
My own mystical relationship to rain lifts my spirit and reminds me that we can be ALL-ONE with the Natural elements
Each time it has rained I have collected rain. Here is one story to tell:
On April 25, there were tours of the Tree of Health Garden in Balboa Park. This is a very sacred place for me that has witnessed to my own healing. I came with a another ceremonialist and we did some work.
I knew there was an Indian Pow Pow at San Diego State University, and I was determined to get there before it ended.
When I arrived with my companion the event had been called because of the impending rain. I went out with some very special seeds and gave gifts to some of the dancers. I asked one to bless the seeds that were intended to Protect Pollinators.
The moment we stood together and did the blessing on the seeds, the drops of rain started to fall. They had collected on my windshield when I came back to the EG Mobile. Then it stopped raining as I left.
I came home with the very special seeds that had been blessed by the Sioux Dancer.
I was determined to plant these seeds, and so I sat in our consecrated success circle waiting. I was tired and not thinking too clearly. The rain was eminent. I was waiting for the rain to fall before I planted the seeds. I sat for about 45 minutes. It was getting cold and dark. Finally I went down on my knees and decided to plant the seeds in the ground of our Sacred Success Circle.
The exact moment I placed the Blessed seeds in the ground, the rain came that very second.
These are the seeds that were planted April 25. I planted other seeds April 22 on EarthDay, but they are not as vibrant as the ones that were blessed at the Pow Pow. These are growing faster!
The message for me was. Do not wait on your dreams. Plant them in faith, and the rain will come.
And so this is my message for you:
How more beautiful would the world be
if ALL the heirloom seeds sitting
on shelves in packages became
the plants they could be?
How much more Soul would there be
in the world if we allowed our
inner Seed Dreams to come out of their
‘packages’ and grow the ‘plants’ they can be?
How much passion and life would we feel?
How more peaceful and healthy would the
world be? Mother Earth says, “Plant Your
Dream!” because your Soul is intended to be
a fully-expressive heirloom seed
in her cornucopia of earthly abundance.
She wants you fully growing
in the world now.

These mystical relationships to Rain are ongoing for me

Forget Our Differences!
We are all growing in the same pot! FInd ways to enter dialogue and educate, even with those who have we imagine represent different points of view.
There are many, many inspirations among us already, and I see the Grassroots movement growing as we forget our differences and look for the good in each other. The call to grow grassroots is a call for Unity. It is a call to accept that we are ALL-ONE!
Being Mindful of where Our Dollars Go…This is Conscious Commerce
It is also a call to be enter Conscious Commerce, and be mindful of every dollar we spend and where it goes.
Doing Good in the World. Following Nature's Path
Food reform today means connecting personally to small local food production and your local Farmers' Market as well as stores where the dollars you spend shopping are based on principles of Conscious Commerce. With each dollar we spend, we can uplift humanity. Principles of Fair Trade, Non GMO usage, and above all food grown by organic and beyond organic (Biodynamic) principles are important.
Examples abound of companies run by individuals who deserve our money.
Entrepreneurs are doing good to uplift humanity working as independent business owners as well as many inspired souls working to build bridges in positions within corporate structures. We are being asked to Survive This Day and to Thrive through all working together as grassroots grow.
We are here alive now to live by intention to do good regardless of breakdowns that stem from loss of our Sacred Rare Seed nature. It is to the literal @RareSeeds that hold the inherent power of biodiverse culture that come to remind us of the Moral ABC principles of All-One Love.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL WILL REMEDY OUT FOOD DESERTS
Todya the words "Food Desert " are becoming a popular word to designate how underserved parts of our cities and their citizens are being denied real food access through a lack of real food stores: yet it is here where the food heroes are planting gardens and teaching hoew to have real food safety through food sovereignty.
Food deserts are now everywhere including the College Campus where most youth have no idea what real food is.
It is for this reason that #OpenAccesstoFood for All holds so much power for me. The power of the @rareseed is destined to grow on campus' everywhere. mark my words. I begin where I live.
Open Access inspired by Whole Foods Market
The idea was inspired when I heard a panel of some of the great Food Reform Activiites at the Natural Product Expo West.
This super session was organized by Walt Robb of Whole Foods Market.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL POLLINATORS
Open Access to Food for All and for All Pollinators
This project has been ongoing for most of the year. It began when I discovered a stand of Milkweek growing at the Trees of Health Garden and began to record Monarch Butterflies all around the plants. I was getting some really beautiful pictures.
Then around Earth Day, Whole Foods Market had a promotion called "Party for the Pollinators." I attended the event at the West Los Angeles Whole Foods Market. I received some of the seed packets and buttons, but the following day, my seed packets were given away in error at the San Diego EarthFair. I was grateful to find more packets locally at our WFM Hillcrest. It was these seeds I planted on Earth Day and then again March 25.
These are the seeds planted on April 25 coming up May 13, 2015
Take Your Sacred Seed Out of the Pizza Box and Plant Your Dream! This is my premise.
What I do at the National Heirloom Expo
Called the World's Pure Food Fair, the National Heirloom Expo, produced by Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, this year September 8-10, 2015 in Santa Rosa, CA, is an heirloom Seed collectors dream. The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection typified numbers of collections that are being managed by heirloom Seed lovers that now include Seed Library enthusiasts, backyard gardeners, and small scale Farmers, Numbers of these companies and seed growers from around the world are finding their way to the National Heirloom Expo. Can you hear the call? I did.
SEE THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO SITE HERE

COME GROW WITH US!
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO AT HOME WITH YOUR HELP!
Enter Monique Michaud, and a caste of individual eccentrics attempting to live together at my home and everywhere.
Monique Michaud visits the Enchanted Garden on Earth Day. She is schedule to move in
This is Our Sacred Success Circle at the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost.
Photo of the Sacred Success Circle. I am tending Sacred Seeds Dream here. Who will fill these chairs, I wonder? Is it you? Do you hear the call, to volunteer to help this land, or to live here or to visit? Within my own disparate self, going in many directions as once, attempt ion to manage a household of different needs including my own, i find solace in tending this circle and appreciate the power in having a tiny bit of earth that I visit and dreams that I associate with the growing plants.
Projects I Would Like to Prosper in My Own Backyard
I have numbers of projects that I would like to see prosper in my own backyard. For many years I have called the community the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community. The Enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth that grows one seed and one dream at a time. I cannot say how many who have lived here have ever really gotten the concept. For the most part, I have done my best keeping the land and house viable with renting rooms and doing what we could to create some semblance of learning to live together.
The Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost is a Reality I Feel and See in my Growing Plants
One of my more realistic goals now is called the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost on our a 1/3 acre site near San Diego State University.
What would I like to grow next Here at Home? Ron Finley, L.A. Guerrilla Gardener has Inspired Me
Making Friends in Our Own Neighborhoods,
This year, I have especially been inspired by Los Angeles Guerrilla Gardener Ron Finley, and others I met at a Super Session organized by Whole Foods Market's Walter Robb at the Annual Natural Product Expo on March 6.
Finley's dream is to see neighborhoods where neighbors grow various kinds of food and trade between themselves. I have a similar vision for my street.
Picture of rain water collection
My sense is that if we collected every drop of water that fell from the sky, and if we got into reusing the potable water that is now wasted down the drain, the water that comes from our washing machine and showers, we would have all the water we need to grow food here. This is a project we are doing at home and begin to adapt to using Sal Suds, one of the Dr. Bronner ALL-ONE cleaning products. I would like to see more people starting thinking this way in San Diego and around the state of California where we are asked to do a 25% mandatory cutback of water use.
Further, as much as we have dry years in my own city, you can be sure there will be wet years coming as well.
Inspiring and Welcoming the Nearby Students of SDSU
My home vision is that increasingly I will live with others whose common ground is wanting to see the 1/3 acre where I live be in an inspiration to nearby SDSU students, as well as through my blog, to others around the nation and the world.
I live in a 76 year old home surrounded by 1/3 acre within walking distance of SDSU. There is a constant need to manage the physical upkeep and we are in a phase of massive building of physical repair and infrastructure. The dynamics of living with others is the challenge of our time, and certainly we experience that challenge here.
My goal was to stabilize on the home in June and July, and be free to travel in August and September to the National Heirloom Expo.
This is an earlier version of the what has now become the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost concept.
The Enchanted Garden Mobiles Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds.
Typically, A big part of my journey to win back our sacred seeds has become focused on my outreach in my 68 VW. Called the Enchanted Garden Mobile, this more than 40 year vehicle draws attention wherever she goes. In her rear compartment, I travel with a pot where I plant dreams.
In my work as Your Enchanted Gardener, and a professional blogger writing on a daily basis, I am constantly inventing campaigns to re-invigorate what I call America the Beautiful.
These are some of my current campaigns that you will find on the #PlantYourDreamBlogs.
CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS IS MY UMBRELLA THEME FOR 2015
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
This is my umbrella theme for 2015. It is the topic I intend to teach at the National Heirloom Expo, September 8-10, 2015 and getting to the National Heirloom Expo is once again a journey giving my life meaning.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE IN MIND ON THE ROAD:
THE ENCHANTED GARDEN MOBILE AND ITS JOURNEY TO WIN BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS
I am so committed to this cause of the National Heirloom Expo, that I am willing to drive my 40 year VW Van called the EG Mobile, on a journey of Faith more than 1700 miles round trip the last three years, and again this year. Each year has been a personal testing of my personal health and health concerns, and each time I have come away renewed, inspite of challenges. The journey is for me a hero's journey.
Plan A has started. I am visiting @WholeFoodsMarkets from San Diego to Santa Rosa, CA in Route to @HeirloomExpo
VISITING WHOLE FOODS MARKET LONG BEACH
+++++PHOTO OF ME AT WHOLE FOODS MARKET LONG BEACH +++
A natural connection between Whole Foods Market and the National Heirloom Expo, this year, September 8-10, 2015, has already been established.
Last year, coming home from the National Heirloom Expo 2014, and this year, I have already started visiting @wholefoodmarkets between San Diego and Santa Rosa.
This year, n each store I visit, I upload FB albums of the products that are in the #PlantYourDreamBlog Non GMO, Organic, and Fair Trade Shopping Guide. Each product I feature has a story behind it. Most of these products are produced by people I know who have standards of excellence I want to see prosper.
The Enchanted Garden Mobile is a Conversation Starter. Daily, someone waves or wants to ask me a question about her
The #EnchantedGardenMobile draws attention wherever she goes. She is a conversation starter. Each day she ages and youthens through the love and attention she gets. She gives me opportunities to plant dreams from the bucket I carry inside her. I want to engage each store in helping to tell others about the #PureFoodWorldsFair that is The National Heirloom Expo.
The EG Mobile also visits Farmers' Markets
I recognize that not everyone can travel the distance to this wonder of wonders agricultural fair, and so, along the way, I visit Farmers' Markets, and on occasion, recognize foods that are deserving of a Blue Ribbon from the #WorldsFairofPureFood. It is my honor to give them, these the same blue ribbons we award at the National Heirloom Expo.
Most of All, along the way, I am engaging those I meet in the story that I will tell in my classes.
We are #RareSeeds. When we plant @RareSeeds indicative of the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection and many other heirloom and Organic Seed growers, we are Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds.
We are practicing the Indigenous ways of seed growing and seed saving that has been the hallmark of people since time began who have lived in harmony with the earth, her soil, and her natural seasons. In growing these seeds, we are popularizing a way of life that trumps GMO Ag and large scale ag that needs chemicals to survive. In this the age of of Peak Oil, what other healthy choice do we have than to return to what has always worked, systems of sustainable local culture that grows Sacred Food to grow its dreams.
Flyers from the National Heirloom Expo will be placed along my route wherever welcomed
She along the way, and inspiring others about the National Heirloom Expo.
CONCLUSIONS
There is a Dream inside each of us, and it is our destiny to keep it alive. There are also the dreams of those who have come before us, and who understood what it means to be a nature Boy.
KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE!
KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE! DR. BERNARD JENSEN AND THE ROMANCE OF SEEDS
Leslie (That's me) with Dr. Bernard Jensen, 1980's or 1990's in my backyard.
As a teen, I was radically effected by the death of my mother who died of cancer when i was 12 years old. My aunt, about a decade later, also had cancer. She turned to healthy practices and lived another 50 years. My own health was degenerating through high school and college. It was my aunt who took me out of the city and to the doorstep of Dr. Berbard jensen, a pioneer San Dirdo resident and healing arts master
It was he who put mr on the pash of Food Reform and asked me to follow in the footsteps of other Fiid Reformers he had known including Alfred W. McCann, author of "The Science of Eating."
Keeping the Dream Alive? What does that mean? We have lost so much nature wisdom. Dr. Bernard Jensen was a charismatic speaker and teacher. His presence on the stage was magnetic. We were friends for more than 30 years. I call him my spiritual father. Dr. Bernard Jensen left a legacy in books and teachings, but his legacy is mainly what he passed to those who knew him and were touched by him.
In the years ahead, I will look forward to holding a copy of his life story in my hands. I and his grandson, Jon D. Jensen, are beginning to imagine such a seed dream.
Many today have no idea what the Dream is--Whole, Pure, Nature, Fresh, Organic. They do not know what the herbs of the field can do for us. Dr. Bernard Jensen called himself a Nature Boy, and I am honored to the extent that I can, to follow his footsteps.
I wrote a number of his books from his words, and their is more story to tell.
We created a Magic Survival Kit together. Book Two is called "Survive This Day." One section is called,
"The Romance of Seeds." Dr. Jensen was the first person to alert me to that Romance, that heightens and magnifies as I pursue my purpose for living.
HOW THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA WAS BORN
https://www.facebook.com/GrowAHealthierPizza
The Campaign to Grow A Healthier came into being through a syncronisitiy of events. I had long been a friend of ancient wheat through my relationship with the stories of Zoroaster that Essene Renaissance leader Edmond Bordeaux Szekely told.
Enter Bob Quinn and Kamut Pizza Making Real Dough
I met Bob Quinn who was also enamored with ancient wheat and planted a handful of Kamut ® Ancient Grains that now supports 1000's of acres of organic commerce.
Then during prop 37, I received one of 167,000 packages of Pizza making San Marzano tomato Sauce seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom @RareSeeds who gifted them the Ca labeling effort. I was deeply involved in that campaign.
The Government has been Cheating on Us
http:http://www.curezone.org/ig/i.asp?i=77274//www.curezone.org/ig/i.asp?i=77274
In 2011, I was in Washington DC speaking at Organic Listening Day and volunteering to be the Enchanted Gardener for the USDA. I thought again to go East in 2012.. That single pack of heirloom seeds turned my direction north to the National heirloom Expo.
Then, I heard Deborah Szekely, co-founder of Rancho La Puerta on a tirade against the government for saying two ounces of tomato sauce defined Pizza as a vegetable.
If they were going to do that, I was going to Grow A Healthier Pizza.
Most of the teachings I share with others are now contained in Pizza Boxes as graphic designsI create.
The centerpiece of the Campaign are these words:
If Commercial Interests once again have convinced Congress to do business as usual, and that profits are more important that our children having improved school lunches, if Congress has said that a few tablespoons of tomato sauce define Pizza as a Vegetable, then we as Conscious Consumers will 'Grow a Healthier Pizza." Amber waves of Grain Growing will Return Spaciaous Skies of America the Beautiful to us. These will Win Back Our Sacred Seeds: The right to Know that every Ingredient in Food is Labeled, to Know that Food is Medicine, To Know How to Grow Our Own Food."
" Once Again" The Gov has been Unfaithful…
The words in the Grow a Healthier Pizza document, "Once Again" are loaded. They are a reference to Sell outs to Big Business that go out more than 100 years.
Today one of our big issues about food is transparency. The effort to Label it, GMO Labeling, and the buy out of voting through mis and disinformation on the part of moneyed commercial processed food interests are only repeats of tactics that have been going on since Alfred W. McCann and Dr. Thomas W. Wiley waved the banner calling for Food Reform during the WW1 days and decades before.
Five Impossible Things before Breakfast…Lunch, and Dinner
In Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" Alice falls down the rabbit hole to face her heroic journey and find her Own Sacred Seed. Then she comes out of the rabbit hole PizzaBox, so to speak, determined to turn her own life from cocoon to butterfly. Before she goes hole dropping, she is at a wedding scene and witnesses her brother-in-law breaking his own marriage vows.
Similarly, our federal government has been cheating on us, going hook, line and sinker into the Biotech farm bed and courting unholy Trade agreements that are geared to bring Food Safety to corporate wealth holders and again sell out the Real Food American Drean.
What is sold in the marketplace as Food for the most part is not food. It is commodities more intended to reap profits than give kids and adults the necessary refined elements to speak our truths and find their prophetic voices as Seed Freedom heroes who are born to turn to turn our world into an Enchanted Garden.
These values are shifting. More and more people are coming to terms with the assault upon our health and we are through our purchasing power driving these corporations to last ditch efforts before they either all turn organic or make their exits to Mars.
The SCIENCE OF EATING
Muckraker journalist Alfred W McCann around World War I wrote "The Science of Eating" and "Starving America." I introduce
Alfred W. McCann on #PlantYourDreamBlog Wordpress. He knew even then that we were selling out our kids. He saw a generation who were mainly 4F or near to it. He called for Food Reform. He said that Food Reform must begin in the schools.

The History of a Crime Against the Food Law 1929
His friend Thomas Washington Wiley M.D. worked diligently for the agency that became the FDA. He helpled to pass the Pure Food and Drug Law of 1906 that would have made junk food and GMO's as we know them illegal, however, commercial interests kept his law from being applied and later disallowed it. The truth is, our federal government has been cheating on us since then if not before.
DR WILEY'S BOOK
Dr. Wiley's Book, published in 1929 is also online here
It is called "The History of a Crime Against the Food Law."

We are truly bankrupt. The Real Power is in Heirllom Seeds and Knowing How to Grow Them
Time will prove that BioTech Technology applied to the Farm Field is hurting our health and immune system's. GMO's in Agriculture simply do not work, Biotech applied to medicine is a phenomena that has saved lives, as many other heroic measures, however, they are now so engrained in The buck, the moneybag, it, that they are without our knowing taking us deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole head over heals in our Medical Doctor's love affair with Big Pharma. Money today is worth little more and then an Eden Foods pencil made from old dead dollar bills.
THIS IS THE STORY ABOUT GOVERNMENT SELL OUT THAT INSPIRED ME TO START GROWING A GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT, LITERALLY WITH ANCIENT GRAIN THAT WE WOULD ONE DAY OUTGROW MONSANTO AND ALL THOSE ELEMENTS IN THE WORLD YOU PUT PROFITS ABOVE @RARESEEDS
I believe since I began growing ancient Kamut® Khorasan wheat myself in 2012, things have improved.

MY JOURNEY TO THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO
If all goes to plan, I will stabilize on the home front, and be free to travel in August and September to the National Heirloom Expo.
My Journey will be sponsored by the companies I already have as sponsors and a few others I have in mind.
The last four years a have taken a Journey of Faith to the World's Pure Food Fair in Santa Rosa, CA from San Diego. Called the National Heirloom Expo, this year to be held September 8-10, the event is a lovely agricultural fair with incredible displays of food, animal life, meaningful talks, and displays of special products that are carefully chosen to be in the show.
Not everyone in California can attend and so, seeing myself as representative of the event, I am handing out Blue Ribbons on my travels to foods, products, and people that I feel deserve acknowledgement at this the Pure Food World's Fair.
Another Joy I have, both at the event and in route, in introducing youth and adults to the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection that Epitomizes an inventory of @rRareSeeds in the world
I have great joy introducing the #RareSeeds I meet, by this I mean you and I, to @RareSeeds from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection. I believe that we are intended to return to begin a nation of small scale gardeners, supplemented by foods grown by larger scale organic and biodynamic farmers who have our best interests at heart. I believe the farmer's we support need to be more concerned with producing more nutrition per acre tha profit per acre; and it is a necessity that shoppers recognize that our farmers are a national treasure. The foods they produce need to end up where intended--our stomachs--and every farmer needs to compensated as a act of Fair Trade. Farmers deserve a good livelihood. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor.
Let's begin with the seed.
The Enchanted Garden Mobile's Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds
Open Access to Food for All!
Open Access to Food for All Pollinators,/H2>
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds Starts with Winnng Back Our Individual Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds is an epic enterprise that begins with realizing that Winning Back "Our" Collective Seeds, begins with each of us Winning Back our Own Sacred Seed. Here is some background, and a description of the specific Seed Dreams I have launched that I believe will help restore America The Beautiful!
1.
" This Earth is Ours" so Let's Take Care of Her
My friend, Gurdeep Stephens wrote a book called "This Earth is Ours." It is for this reason that I travel with a Reacher in the EG Mobile, my 68 VW Van, as well as a bucketful of ancient grains of wheat.
Everywhere I go, I want to pick up trash with my reacher. Picking up trash reminds me that "This Earth is Ours" and it is my responsibility to Keep her Clean. Often this task is most difficult at home and in my personal space, where my personality needs often have me overworking and generating thousands of ideas and papers. The attempt to live on a 1/3 acre parcel near San Diego State University as a house manager also means I am constantly called upon to meet not only my needs the needs of others, as well as from time to time filling vacancies in the household. For a long time, I referred to the home where I live as the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community; however, I was likely the only person over the years who held this vision in the same way that I do. Most recently, I am focused on growing an Enchanted Garden Rare Seeds Outpost, based on the idea that here at home, even in a few tended buckets, I can do my part to keep Rare Seeds, that represent multi-cultural diversity in the world alive.
I am always looking to see the unique talents a person brings to our household. Often I am influenced as well by my own baggage and theirs, as I find meaningful moments to Plant my own dreams, and create sacred space.
Agriculture 2015 is in transition
Agriculture 2015 is in transition from large-scale centralized food growers using chemical and unnatural technological methods, such as growing food using Genetically Modified Organisms. Humans may pass laws and make whatever Trade Agreements they imagine they want to ensure profits; however, ultimately Nature's Original Technology says NOT to what international and Corporate Interests feel they need to do. Food Safety and Security ultimately will come down to learning to grow our own food and establish local systems rather than base Food Safety on their needs of a few individuals to continue to make profits and feel safe from activists who might want to control their appetites when all of us, the served and underserved need "Open Access to Food for All! and #Open Access to Food for All Pollinators.
ONE OF MY PLANT YOUR DREAM BUSINESS CARDS
My Biz Card Goes Here. Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener, Plants Seeds of Success for Super Ripe People and Their Dreams
THE FAMOUS EDEN PENCIL. IT IS A COMMENTARY IN MY MIND ON THE VALUE OF MONEY AND THE REAL WEALTH IN SEEDS
I truly believe that our world is being uplifted by the way we spend our dollar. I teach as well that our economic as we know has as much real value as an Eden Pencil made of old dollar bills. The new wealth is in heirloom seeds organically grown, and the knowledge of how to grow our own food by organic principles.
Why are Heirloom Seeds so Important?
Heirloom seeds carry the rich multi-cultural history of the peoples of the earth. Baker Creek. located in Missouri, and its Petaluma Seed Bank. located in an old historic Bank Building, symbolized an emerging trend called the Seed Bank, where local communities will store and develop their own bio-regional seeds.
Baker Creek is geared up to serve the backyard gardener. In my mind, as we plant these seeds, the seeds themselves are blessing us with a wealth and knowledge, teaching us how to live in harmony with our earth. I called our relationship to seeds one of Plant Parenthood, words that I have used for a number of decades. As we parent plants, plants reparent us.
Heirloom Seed represent the cultural integrity of biodiverse culture reigniting. They represent a return to the founding principles of America the Beautiful.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue
In my own Jewish tradition, we speak of the metaphor of the Promised land and hope that one day Eden shall return to the earth. I have named the new Eden, the Enchanted Garden. I am clear that all that stands between us and heaven on earth is enough #RareSeeds finding again their voice with Rare Seeds of heirloom original seeds in hand and ancient grains that have not been hybrid by modern techniques that can contaminate our food supply.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue, a for-sale publication, is for me a Roadmap to Eden. Glancing through the colorful pages is a stunning realization of the world as it has existed and can exist again. The publication is offered in numbers of Whole Foods Markets and online. A free RareSeed Catalogue is also available that can be ordered online. Baker Creek as well puts on an Heirloom Magazine four times a year.
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit and Grow A Necklace for Kids Seeds
My own seed dream is that I will soon have two seed packets added to the Baker Creek line.
The first is based on a Campaign I have called Grow A Healthier Pizza in response to the the state of Pizza described. The second seed is an archetypal seed called Job's Tears.
Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds
The story of Job for me is the seed for these times. We have near lost everything our health and wealth, but we cannot lose faith. I am looking for growers to begin growing out these for the most part ornamental seeds that can be turned into necklaces for kids, i.e, Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds.
Job's Tear seeds come with a hole already running through them. All you have to do is push a thin wire through the hole.
IN SUMMATION, I WANT TO REVIEW SOME OF MY OWN TEACHINGS THAT THEY INSPIRE YOUR ACTIONS
WE WILL COME TO SEE A DAY WHEN FARMING WILL BE WHEREVER POSSIBLE LOCALLY GROWN, ORGANICALLY GROWN, OR BETTER
Farmers are a national treasure. They deserve Fair Trade wages and all the food they grow needs to end up where intended, in the belly of eaters who recognize the therapeutic value of this food and the contribution that local organic farmers are making them. Local Organic Farmers and larger scale organic farmers are leading our nation toward Food Reform and National Health.
Enchanted Garden Club Members prefer to pay their farmer rather than their doctor.
REDEFINING MEDICINE
Doctors, as well, will come to recognize that they are working hand to mouth with local and larger scaled organic farmers as a means of improving national Health Care.
Natural Supplements will continue to be needed as we return to Healthier States of Wellness.
"Medicine" itself has come to a place where it no longer reflects the need of people to invest in Preventive and Self Care. The United States, as a leader in true Democratic Principles embedded in the vision of our nation will return to a healthy respect for Nature and its medicines.
Heroic Measures including surgeries will continue to be needed, yet the foundation of good health is Traditional Medicine as offered for millennium from various cultures.

SUPPORT FOR FAIR TRADE BEGINS WITH YOUR PURCHASING DOLLAR
#CacaoFest 2015 was held on World Fair Trade Day, May 9. Fair Trade begins with our spending dollar. I see a day when the Fair Trade will be acknowledged as the primary label above GMO's. GMO' use Agriculture is Anti-Fair Trade. It is an attempt to beat the natural order. Agriculture is by nature, intensive and labor consuming. Those who produce our food supply need to be treated fairly.
This is why I champion those companies who are Fair Trade aware such as my sponsor Dr.Bronner All One.

CONCLUSIONS
The Story of Job is the Story of These Times. Things are lost. We Can have Faith. Things will come back better than ever! It is the story of Job's Tears, the Seed, the Legend, a Truth for Our Age.
This is the Greeting Card that tells the Story of Job as I Tell it here…
There is a legend told about a man (and this of course applies to woman) who lost all he had. He planted his tears,They grew into Seeds,Seeds of Job's Tears. The Seeds said, Plant Your Dream. He did. His dreams came true. So sow n Tears! Reap in Joy!
Learning to live together means becoming again a nation of heirloom gardeners using sustainable organic methods. It means living Post 911 in a world that cares about our neighbors and seeks out to make friends with those whose path comes in contact with our own.
This is no time to fear our future in spite of what we have personally done to harm and manipulate the weather because we forgot we that the #RareSeed we are is one with the @RareSeeds God and Nature made to inspire our voices along the soul path of doing Random Act of Kindness and growing senseless Acts of beauty.
May i forever see and find coming out of you the beauty I'm you I see the beauty i see in the garden.
Nature has smiles on you to make this world beautiful.
There are so many beautiful #RareSeeds in the world. There are so many Lighting a Single Candle in the Dark and lighting up our Whole World.
Here are a couple of those lovely faces that make we say,
"In You, I see the flowers I love so much in the garden. Nature Has smiled on you to make this world beautiful!'--Leslie Goldman
(Greeting Card #____).
Some are convinced that these are our latter days on earth, and many signs of the times in our stomachs and bowels and kidneys would suggest this, but who among us cannot see a deeper meaning that says each day is precious for us to turn our world into an #EnchantedGarden.
1000 years of peace can begin today for us individually through the legacy we leave in the heart of the next child we inspire to introduce to a fresh piece of sugar cane grown by an Asian farmer we meet at our local farmers market.

The #CampaigntoGrowaHealthierPizza was inspired to ask each person I meet to take their own own sacred #seeddreams out of the box and package and to #PlantYourDream. It was inspired in the knowledge that we can have 1000 years of peace based on inspired individual action and living their lives Intentionally to bring in The Enchanted Garden, a name for our renewed earth.
TAKE AN INTEREST IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, NEIGHBORHOOD, AND NEARBY SCHOOLS
Get to know your Neighbors and Look to them for Support
Look to your neighbors now to share in growing simple foods to be shared as my ally Ron Finley suggests. Study the wisdom of Sacred Seed Keepers who know that wisdom for how to live upon the earth will be personally bestowed to you as you take your own dreams out of the symbolic and literal pizza box and plant your dream!
This is Our Sacred Success Circle at the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost.
I am tending Sacred Seeds Dream here. Who will fill these chairs? Is it you? Do you hear the call, to live here, to visit, to carry forward a visit that we can make friends among our disparate selves, and within our neighborhood?

THIS IS AN EXCERPT UNEDITED FROM MY DRAFT OF AN ARTICLE BEING WRITTEN FOR THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
PROPS TO WHOLE FOODS MARKET
RESPONDING TO A CALL FOR UNITY THAT WER ALL GROW TOGETHER NOW
Walt Robb, Co-Ceo @WholeFoodsMarket inspired my #SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All! and the National Earth Day Weeks Promotion Plant Seeds Protect Pollinators inspired by SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
My own inspiration for Open Access to Food for All 9#OpenAccestoFood for All! ) as well as Open Access to Food for All Pollinators (#OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators ) were BOTH inspired by two projects that came out of @WholeFoodsMarket,
For more than 20 years, I have been part of the Press Corps of the Natural Product Expo West, #ExpoWest , the largest gathering of the natural products Industry. These is the yearly gathering where I see my sponsors face to face and share healing time.
I have been behind the camera witnessing profound generosity from the people that sometimes take the hits from being on the front lines of scale. The word "Scale" I first heard form Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Yogurt. He turned his smaller company over to a larger company so that more of the product could reach more people. The larger company had more access to more people. Often this approach has seemingly backfired when the larger entities are not aligned with the missions of the smaller companies, but I believe that ultimately everything works out for the good.
I have personal examples of friends in corporate positions who are building bridges and their good intentions seep upward.
Many who I have witness at #ExpoWest are same souls who ask questions like "how can we as an industry get healthier food to the underserved?"
Such was a question that @wholefoodsmarket Co-Ceo Walter Robb asked when he brought together some of the powerful and influential voices in the what I call the Cultivating Food Justice movement to The Natural Product Expo March 6. Because of his action, I met Ron Finley, who calls himself a Gangster for Mother Earth;, Will Allen, the famed community food organizer; Robin Emmons of SowMuchGood; and Bishop James Duke, a powerful voice in Chicago who works in a church seting.
Whole Foods Market has taking on a project to remedy the situation of the underserved through organizing a Whole Cities Foundation .

EXCERPT FROM DRAFT OF WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS FOR THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
They receive and give back the bucks to help many, including pollinator.
Later around Earth Day, I was influenced by a promotional campaign where customers who shop were specifically asked to Plant Seeds to Protect Pollinators.
In my San Diego, I began to take special interest in pollinators, specifically Monarch Butterflies through kindling a relationship with our local arboretum, called the Trees for Health Garden in Balboa Park. I saw swarms of Monarch butterflies around a large stand of Milkweed plants. The plants themselves and the butterflies that inhabit them drive home the incredible relationship between plants and pollinators.
FIND AN ARBORETUM WHERE YOU LIVE
Find an arboretum where you live. We have reached a time when Medicine is now defined as something from a bottle. One of my most healing experiences this year, was picking wild Stinging Nettles that are specifics for my own health conditions.
NOTE ON RON FINLEY
I have been deeply inspired by Ron Finley, who called himself a Gangster for Mother Earth when I heard him speak. Out of his desire to grow his own food, entire laws in Los Angels were changed to make food growing more accessible and allowing on city property.
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
In San Diego, we have had friendly laws on the books for numbers of years.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
Planting #Seed Dreams with Enviro-Business Society e3 Members
April 30, 2015. These are our initial goals for Food Reform at SDSU.
Most college campuses are as underserved by real food as those who live in food deserts. Most youth simple do not know what real food is, and this is tragic.
Food Reform will take place in our schools. I want to encourage you to get involved in the schools in your neighborhood.
My own project on campus is geared to my closest Campus, San Diego State University.
WASTE NO WATER
The issue of climate shift will clearly impact the foods we can grow, however, I can only testify to the reality that there are Sacred mystical relationship between our Souls and the Seeds themselves.
Not long ago, around Earth Day, I had some of the Pollinator Seeds from the Whole Foods Campaign blessed at a SDSU Pow Pow. The sky opened and there were light drops as the seeds were blessed. I was calling down the rain.
A few hours later, I was sitting at our Sacred Success Circle waiting for the rain to fall before I put my few blessed seeds in the ground. It was getting cold and dark, and so I got down on my knees and put the seeds in the ground. The second I did, it began to rain.
The message I want to share with you, is please do not wait on your dreams. Plant them now. Their are lead scientists with expertise in Climate who are already grieving the end of the human race as we know it. Study the work of Guy McPherson. It is interesting. I for one, approach the world in a different way that goes beyond science.
I encourage you to Plant Your Dream.
Joining the Enchanted Garden Club & Planting #SeedDreams
Most of the important teachings I share are in pizza boxes affixed to the old recycled pizza box card stock.
Among these teachings are the #sacredSeedPrayer that you will find in The Light Connection article I wrote last summer. I want to send the words of the Enchanted Garden Membership your way now.
Oh, patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
I accept your fulfillment as a by-product
of my own fertile deep dreams flowering.
Remind me that all natural things
on earth grow from seeds.
Open in me the wisdom
contained in a tiny seed that I might too experience
how dreams grow naturally.
The Enchanted Garden,
a name for the new Earth
growing through me, starts here and now!

The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza. Win Back Our Sacred Seeds was inspired by Congress under the influence of Archetypal Commercial Interests that have been influencing government for more than 100 years to make decisions that are out of sync with the Public Good.
I have written a number of #PlantYourDreamBlogs that are intended for an Online book, "The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza."
I was already involved in Growing a Healthier Pizza at the time I heard Deborah Szekely of Wellness Warrior outraged and speaking against the "Pizza as a Vegetable" sellout of our school age children.

INTRODUCTION
THE PROJECT BEGINS --FOOD ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL
Leslie Plants #OpenAccess with Ron Finley at #expoWest
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
#RonFinley was a 2015 San Diego State University #Greenfest speaker. I heard him just around the same time at #expowest.
Expo west, The natural products expo west is a yearly event in nearby Anaheim where the top organic and natural food entrepreneurs gather to network and do business each year with their industry. I see #expowest as soon important place for #e3 Cream of the crop @RareSeed future sustainability, and marketing entrepreneurs and more society shifters to interact with potential future employers. I plan to facilitate some of these interactions.
#OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL TAKES ROOT AT SDSU
Because I live within walking distance of the more than 35,000 student population and because of my long time witness of the #e3 club on campus, investing my positive energy to uplift students is a natural fit for my #openaccesstofood for all and my #open access to food for all pollinators projects.
This August and September I plan to be on the road toward the national heirloom expo and beyond. My current need is to stabilize my home environment. I'm finding that contact with the student #E3 members, Numbers who are inviting participation here at the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost is a natural fit.
I spoke and gave an inspired message that was at last #e3 meeting of the semester April 29. I followed up with doing research with the current status of the #SDSU farmers market and current on campus meal plan offerings with up and coming student leader Drew, #e3 member. We made some videos and took photos that are part of this Facebook album. I have been having incredible inspired adventures in recent weeks informing me that now is the time to dads many #seeddreams.
Bridget Rickman Took Notes on Seed Dreams for SDSU
These are photos from my interactions with these @ rareSeeds #E3 members. The future of our Earth it's in their hands. As Leslie Goldman, Your enchanted Gardener I will invite nature and life itself, and my sponsors toextend life forces toward the fulfillment of these #Seeddreams
These include:
1. Plant milkweed
Food for pollinators on campus . Just one milkweed plant to get it going.
2. Improve campus meal plan
begin this Weekend with inviting BrBridget Rickmanridget and Drew to Hillcrest Farmer's market this Sunday to pick out some organic food and get the idea.
Suggest #e3 make contact with University of Redlands. Students there have access to organic food served in the cafeteria and a garden nearby where students work and sell food to the kitchen.
3. SDSU, healthier food options in the meal plan. Fresh food less fast food as a choice.
Have students do research on products and their effects on health. Raising awareness about healthier food and why making healthier food choices is important.
4. More organic foods in the meal plan.
5. Healthier food options including Ancient non GMO Organic wheat at Oggis pizza on campus.
Note: I already met the manager here. He is used to doing special organic pizza dough at the request of Glen.
6. Farmers market improvements
More farmers with fresh vegetables and fruit.
There is a SDSU Farmers market on campus from 10 to 3 many Thursdays during the school year.
Begin with #e3 's having fresh strawberries from #J.R. Organics CSA
Quick and easy organic snacks presented by #e3.
The trip to Hillcrest Farmer's market, this Sunday.

#PlantYourDream is the key to bringing in 1000 years piece for our world. We either live in a world created by someone else's dream or a world that is uplifted through the dreams we plan to ourselves that our soul inspired.
This is Monique. Planting her dreams at our #SacredSeedOutpost that #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost that aims to become an #EnchantedGardenIntentionalCommunity . The enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth. It grows one @RareSeed at a time as we age when back our sacred seeds. Sacred seed is a metaphor as well as a literal heirloom original seed grown out by organic sustainable methods. When I use the word @RareSeeds I am making reference to our collective identity as being individual sacred seeds as human beings. I'm also making reference to Baker Creek heirloom seed company Who uses that #. Jere Gettle, the founder, is archetypal to me of the thousands of individual #RareSeeds Who have found their soul expressions, their Voice through personal and individual #FoodReform.
My umbrella #Campaigns #EnchantedGarden campaigns for 2015 include. #WinningBack OurSacredSeeds and #TheEnchantedGarden MobilesJouneyto WinBackOurSacredSeeds
#Open access to food for all and open access to food for all pollinators. And open access to food for SDSU students are among current #PkantYourDreamBlogs.
I also take great joy in working with local farmers and their families and employees at my local farmers market's. #The come back of JoetheFarmer
Literal reference to uplifting the fifth generation Rodriguez Family as well as seen the archetype of #Joe thefarmer as The plight of every local organic farmer striving today to value and balance providing nutrition per acre as well as sustainable profit per acre.
I'm constantly looking for to #CultivateFoodJustice
Working with the local #hope restored Swahili speaking community located on grounds of the #HillcrestFarmerMarket also excites me..

Find it.
OK. Prep
Keep my focus…
The Earth is Ours
We need a Reorientation to life.
This Earth is Ours. It belongs to all of us.
We are all growing in the same pot, that is one of my Enchanted Garden Teachings. I am interesting in the causes of how we got to this place. Let's ask those who are taking up too much space in the single pot where we all grow to take less place, and for those who need to be represented to have their own fair share of space.
The Problem with GMOs is that many who are investing in this core idea have lost their moral compass. Profit has superseded the fundamental principle that we are all growing in the same pot.
I am convinced that many who are following the path of Biotech well meaning people, and yet it is time that GMO lovers and organic lovers talk if our Growing in ALL ONe pot is to not only "Survive This Day" but thrive.
Being the Rare Seed you are, taking your dream out of the pizza box, out of the silver box is a step in the right direction.
The March Against Monsanto and Outgrowing GMOs Through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
The March Against Monsanto is a growing movement that i support> I believe Monsanto is being asked by nature herself to stop it! The high cost of going this way gives profits but bears the fruit of bad hunan health and plagues upon us.
Nature always wins. An organic uprising within Rare Seeds wi;; prevail, and the number of actually @rareSeeds growing will prevail because this is the moral and ethical thing to do.
Monsanto is indicative of making war against nature.
This is a lost cause.
People will learn to feed themselves.

OUTTAKES
These documents have put many on the path to knowing the seeds they want to plant. Most people already know when I ask them to pull their dreams out of the Box I carry.
The March toward Being the Rare Seed you are
I am not against Marching Against Monsanto. For one it brings those of us together who need to come together, together, Marching does ask people to ask questions who have still not even heard of GMOs; yet, I want to give you here some Tips for Outgrowing GMOs based on Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds,. Then I want to reflect briefly on some of the Rare Seeds who have inspired my own life and work in the last numbers of years.
OUTTAKES
SACRED SEED, SACRED PLANT!
The Sacred Seed Prayer is another central pillar of my work.
I read "Sacred Seed! Sacred Plant" in my talk at #MAM San Diego. Those present received these words:
Sacred Seed, Sacred Plant!
I hold you in my hands,
and I hold you as my future.
Thank you for representing the wishes
I am planting.
As you grow, so will my Seed Dreams.
Growing you will help me
celebrate the harvest in my life.
Thank you for reminding me
I am a Sacred Seed.
Thank you for reminding me
that the Universe thrives as I thrive.
Today we grow a new Enchanted Garden,
a renewed Earth!
Why We Need To Win Back Our Sacred Seeds

PLEASE SEE
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO AT HOME WITH YOUR HELP!
Picture of rain water collection
My sense is that if we collected every drop of water that fell from the sky, and if we got into reusing the potable water that is now wasted down the drain, the water that comes from our washing machine and showers, we would have all the water we need to grow food here. This is a project we are doing at home and begin to adapt to using Sal Suds, one of the Dr. Bronner ALL-ONE cleaning products. I would like to see more people starting thinking this way in San Diego and around the state of California where we are asked to do a 25% mandatory cutback of water use.
Further, as much as we have dry years in my own city, you can be sure there will be wet years coming as well.
Inspiring and Welcoming the Nearby Students of SDSU
My home vision is that increasingly I will live with others whose common ground is wanting to see the 1/3 acre where I live be in an inspiration to nearby SDSU students, as well as through my blog, to others around the nation and the world.
I live in a 76 year old home surrounded by 1/3 acre within walking distance of SDSU. There is a constant need to manage the physical upkeep and we are in a phase of massive building of physical repair and infrastructure. The dynamics of living with others is the challenge of our time, and certainly we experience that challenge here.
My goal was to stabilize on the home in June and July, and be free to travel in August and September to the National Heirloom Expo.
This is an earlier version of the what has now become the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost concept.
The Enchanted Garden Mobiles Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds.
Typically, A big part of my journey to win back our sacred seeds has become focused on my outreach in my 68 VW. Called the Enchanted Garden Mobile, this more than 40 year vehicle draws attention wherever she goes. In her rear compartment, I travel with a pot where I plant dreams.
In my work as Your Enchanted Gardener, and a professional blogger writing on a daily basis, I am constantly inventing campaigns to re-invigorate what I call America the Beautiful.
These are some of my current campaigns that you will find on the #PlantYourDreamBlogs.
CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS IS MY UMBRELLA THEME FOR 2015
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
This is my umbrella theme for 2015. It is the topic I intend to teach at the National Heirloom Expo, September 8-10, 2015 and getting to the National Heirloom Expo is once again a journey giving my life meaning.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE IN MIND ON THE ROAD:
THE ENCHANTED GARDEN MOBILE AND ITS JOURNEY TO WIN BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS
I am so committed to this cause of the National Heirloom Expo, that I am willing to drive my 40 year VW Van called the EG Mobile, on a journey of Faith more than 1700 miles round trip the last three years, and again this year. Each year has been a personal testing of my personal health and health concerns, and each time I have come away renewed, inspite of challenges. The journey is for me a hero's journey.
Plan A has started. I am visiting @WholeFoodsMarkets from San Diego to Santa Rosa, CA in Route to @HeirloomExpo
VISITING WHOLE FOODS MARKET LONG BEACH
+++++PHOTO OF ME AT WHOLE FOODS MARKET LONG BEACH +++
A natural connection between Whole Foods Market and the National Heirloom Expo, this year, September 8-10, 2015, has already been established.
Last year, coming home from the National Heirloom Expo 2014, and this year, I have already started visiting @wholefoodmarkets between San Diego and Santa Rosa.
This year, n each store I visit, I upload FB albums of the products that are in the #PlantYourDreamBlog Non GMO, Organic, and Fair Trade Shopping Guide. Each product I feature has a story behind it. Most of these products are produced by people I know who have standards of excellence I want to see prosper.
The Enchanted Garden Mobile is a Conversation Starter. Daily, someone waves or wants to ask me a question about her
The #EnchantedGardenMobile draws attention wherever she goes. She is a conversation starter. Each day she ages and youthens through the love and attention she gets. She gives me opportunities to plant dreams from the bucket I carry inside her. I want to engage each store in helping to tell others about the #PureFoodWorldsFair that is The National Heirloom Expo.
The EG Mobile also visits Farmers' Markets
I recognize that not everyone can travel the distance to this wonder of wonders agricultural fair, and so, along the way, I visit Farmers' Markets, and on occasion, recognize foods that are deserving of a Blue Ribbon from the #WorldsFairofPureFood. It is my honor to give them, these the same blue ribbons we award at the National Heirloom Expo.
Most of All, along the way, I am engaging those I meet in the story that I will tell in my classes.
We are #RareSeeds. When we plant @RareSeeds indicative of the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection and many other heirloom and Organic Seed growers, we are Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds.
We are practicing the Indigenous ways of seed growing and seed saving that has been the hallmark of people since time began who have lived in harmony with the earth, her soil, and her natural seasons. In growing these seeds, we are popularizing a way of life that trumps GMO Ag and large scale ag that needs chemicals to survive. In this the age of of Peak Oil, what other healthy choice do we have than to return to what has always worked, systems of sustainable local culture that grows Sacred Food to grow its dreams.
Flyers from the National Heirloom Expo will be placed along my route wherever welcomed
She along the way, and inspiring others about the National Heirloom Expo.
CONCLUSIONS
There is a Dream inside each of us, and it is our destiny to keep it alive. There are also the dreams of those who have come before us, and who understood what it means to be a nature Boy.
KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE!
KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE! DR. BERNARD JENSEN AND THE ROMANCE OF SEEDS
Leslie (That's me) with Dr. Bernard Jensen, 1980's or 1990's in my backyard.
As a teen, I was radically effected by the death of my mother who died of cancer when i was 12 years old. My aunt, about a decade later, also had cancer. She turned to healthy practices and lived another 50 years. My own health was degenerating through high school and college. It was my aunt who took me out of the city and to the doorstep of Dr. Berbard jensen, a pioneer San Dirdo resident and healing arts master
It was he who put mr on the pash of Food Reform and asked me to follow in the footsteps of other Fiid Reformers he had known including Alfred W. McCann, author of "The Science of Eating."
Keeping the Dream Alive? What does that mean? We have lost so much nature wisdom. Dr. Bernard Jensen was a charismatic speaker and teacher. His presence on the stage was magnetic. We were friends for more than 30 years. I call him my spiritual father. Dr. Bernard Jensen left a legacy in books and teachings, but his legacy is mainly what he passed to those who knew him and were touched by him.
In the years ahead, I will look forward to holding a copy of his life story in my hands. I and his grandson, Jon D. Jensen, are beginning to imagine such a seed dream.
Many today have no idea what the Dream is--Whole, Pure, Nature, Fresh, Organic. They do not know what the herbs of the field can do for us. Dr. Bernard Jensen called himself a Nature Boy, and I am honored to the extent that I can, to follow his footsteps.
I wrote a number of his books from his words, and their is more story to tell.
We created a Magic Survival Kit together. Book Two is called "Survive This Day." One section is called,
"The Romance of Seeds." Dr. Jensen was the first person to alert me to that Romance, that heightens and magnifies as I pursue my purpose for living.
HOW THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA WAS BORN
https://www.facebook.com/GrowAHealthierPizza
The Campaign to Grow A Healthier came into being through a syncronisitiy of events. I had long been a friend of ancient wheat through my relationship with the stories of Zoroaster that Essene Renaissance leader Edmond Bordeaux Szekely told.
Enter Bob Quinn and Kamut Pizza Making Real Dough
I met Bob Quinn who was also enamored with ancient wheat and planted a handful of Kamut ® Ancient Grains that now supports 1000's of acres of organic commerce.
Then during prop 37, I received one of 167,000 packages of Pizza making San Marzano tomato Sauce seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom @RareSeeds who gifted them the Ca labeling effort. I was deeply involved in that campaign.
The Government has been Cheating on Us
http:http://www.curezone.org/ig/i.asp?i=77274//www.curezone.org/ig/i.asp?i=77274
In 2011, I was in Washington DC speaking at Organic Listening Day and volunteering to be the Enchanted Gardener for the USDA. I thought again to go East in 2012.. That single pack of heirloom seeds turned my direction north to the National heirloom Expo.
Then, I heard Deborah Szekely, co-founder of Rancho La Puerta on a tirade against the government for saying two ounces of tomato sauce defined Pizza as a vegetable.
If they were going to do that, I was going to Grow A Healthier Pizza.
Most of the teachings I share with others are now contained in Pizza Boxes as graphic designsI create.
The centerpiece of the Campaign are these words:
If Commercial Interests once again have convinced Congress to do business as usual, and that profits are more important that our children having improved school lunches, if Congress has said that a few tablespoons of tomato sauce define Pizza as a Vegetable, then we as Conscious Consumers will 'Grow a Healthier Pizza." Amber waves of Grain Growing will Return Spaciaous Skies of America the Beautiful to us. These will Win Back Our Sacred Seeds: The right to Know that every Ingredient in Food is Labeled, to Know that Food is Medicine, To Know How to Grow Our Own Food."
" Once Again" The Gov has been Unfaithful…
The words in the Grow a Healthier Pizza document, "Once Again" are loaded. They are a reference to Sell outs to Big Business that go out more than 100 years.
Today one of our big issues about food is transparency. The effort to Label it, GMO Labeling, and the buy out of voting through mis and disinformation on the part of moneyed commercial processed food interests are only repeats of tactics that have been going on since Alfred W. McCann and Dr. Thomas W. Wiley waved the banner calling for Food Reform during the WW1 days and decades before.
Five Impossible Things before Breakfast…Lunch, and Dinner
In Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" Alice falls down the rabbit hole to face her heroic journey and find her Own Sacred Seed. Then she comes out of the rabbit hole PizzaBox, so to speak, determined to turn her own life from cocoon to butterfly. Before she goes hole dropping, she is at a wedding scene and witnesses her brother-in-law breaking his own marriage vows.
Similarly, our federal government has been cheating on us, going hook, line and sinker into the Biotech farm bed and courting unholy Trade agreements that are geared to bring Food Safety to corporate wealth holders and again sell out the Real Food American Drean.
What is sold in the marketplace as Food for the most part is not food. It is commodities more intended to reap profits than give kids and adults the necessary refined elements to speak our truths and find their prophetic voices as Seed Freedom heroes who are born to turn to turn our world into an Enchanted Garden.
These values are shifting. More and more people are coming to terms with the assault upon our health and we are through our purchasing power driving these corporations to last ditch efforts before they either all turn organic or make their exits to Mars.
The SCIENCE OF EATING
Muckraker journalist Alfred W McCann around World War I wrote "The Science of Eating" and "Starving America." I introduce
Alfred W. McCann on #PlantYourDreamBlog Wordpress. He knew even then that we were selling out our kids. He saw a generation who were mainly 4F or near to it. He called for Food Reform. He said that Food Reform must begin in the schools.

The History of a Crime Against the Food Law 1929
His friend Thomas Washington Wiley M.D. worked diligently for the agency that became the FDA. He helpled to pass the Pure Food and Drug Law of 1906 that would have made junk food and GMO's as we know them illegal, however, commercial interests kept his law from being applied and later disallowed it. The truth is, our federal government has been cheating on us since then if not before.
DR WILEY'S BOOK
Dr. Wiley's Book, published in 1929 is also online here
It is called "The History of a Crime Against the Food Law."

We are truly bankrupt. The Real Power is in Heirllom Seeds and Knowing How to Grow Them
Time will prove that BioTech Technology applied to the Farm Field is hurting our health and immune system's. GMO's in Agriculture simply do not work, Biotech applied to medicine is a phenomena that has saved lives, as many other heroic measures, however, they are now so engrained in The buck, the moneybag, it, that they are without our knowing taking us deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole head over heals in our Medical Doctor's love affair with Big Pharma. Money today is worth little more and then an Eden Foods pencil made from old dead dollar bills.
THIS IS THE STORY ABOUT GOVERNMENT SELL OUT THAT INSPIRED ME TO START GROWING A GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT, LITERALLY WITH ANCIENT GRAIN THAT WE WOULD ONE DAY OUTGROW MONSANTO AND ALL THOSE ELEMENTS IN THE WORLD YOU PUT PROFITS ABOVE @RARESEEDS
I believe since I began growing ancient Kamut® Khorasan wheat myself in 2012, things have improved.

MY JOURNEY TO THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO
If all goes to plan, I will stabilize on the home front, and be free to travel in August and September to the National Heirloom Expo.
My Journey will be sponsored by the companies I already have as sponsors and a few others I have in mind.
The last four years a have taken a Journey of Faith to the World's Pure Food Fair in Santa Rosa, CA from San Diego. Called the National Heirloom Expo, this year to be held September 8-10, the event is a lovely agricultural fair with incredible displays of food, animal life, meaningful talks, and displays of special products that are carefully chosen to be in the show.
Not everyone in California can attend and so, seeing myself as representative of the event, I am handing out Blue Ribbons on my travels to foods, products, and people that I feel deserve acknowledgement at this the Pure Food World's Fair.
Another Joy I have, both at the event and in route, in introducing youth and adults to the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection that Epitomizes an inventory of @rRareSeeds in the world
I have great joy introducing the #RareSeeds I meet, by this I mean you and I, to @RareSeeds from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection. I believe that we are intended to return to begin a nation of small scale gardeners, supplemented by foods grown by larger scale organic and biodynamic farmers who have our best interests at heart. I believe the farmer's we support need to be more concerned with producing more nutrition per acre tha profit per acre; and it is a necessity that shoppers recognize that our farmers are a national treasure. The foods they produce need to end up where intended--our stomachs--and every farmer needs to compensated as a act of Fair Trade. Farmers deserve a good livelihood. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor.
Let's begin with the seed.
The Enchanted Garden Mobile's Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds
Open Access to Food for All!
Open Access to Food for All Pollinators,/H2>
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds Starts with Winnng Back Our Individual Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds is an epic enterprise that begins with realizing that Winning Back "Our" Collective Seeds, begins with each of us Winning Back our Own Sacred Seed. Here is some background, and a description of the specific Seed Dreams I have launched that I believe will help restore America The Beautiful!
1.
" This Earth is Ours" so Let's Take Care of Her
My friend, Gurdeep Stephens wrote a book called "This Earth is Ours." It is for this reason that I travel with a Reacher in the EG Mobile, my 68 VW Van, as well as a bucketful of ancient grains of wheat.
Everywhere I go, I want to pick up trash with my reacher. Picking up trash reminds me that "This Earth is Ours" and it is my responsibility to Keep her Clean. Often this task is most difficult at home and in my personal space, where my personality needs often have me overworking and generating thousands of ideas and papers. The attempt to live on a 1/3 acre parcel near San Diego State University as a house manager also means I am constantly called upon to meet not only my needs the needs of others, as well as from time to time filling vacancies in the household. For a long time, I referred to the home where I live as the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community; however, I was likely the only person over the years who held this vision in the same way that I do. Most recently, I am focused on growing an Enchanted Garden Rare Seeds Outpost, based on the idea that here at home, even in a few tended buckets, I can do my part to keep Rare Seeds, that represent multi-cultural diversity in the world alive.
I am always looking to see the unique talents a person brings to our household. Often I am influenced as well by my own baggage and theirs, as I find meaningful moments to Plant my own dreams, and create sacred space.
Agriculture 2015 is in transition
Agriculture 2015 is in transition from large-scale centralized food growers using chemical and unnatural technological methods, such as growing food using Genetically Modified Organisms. Humans may pass laws and make whatever Trade Agreements they imagine they want to ensure profits; however, ultimately Nature's Original Technology says NOT to what international and Corporate Interests feel they need to do. Food Safety and Security ultimately will come down to learning to grow our own food and establish local systems rather than base Food Safety on their needs of a few individuals to continue to make profits and feel safe from activists who might want to control their appetites when all of us, the served and underserved need "Open Access to Food for All! and #Open Access to Food for All Pollinators.
ONE OF MY PLANT YOUR DREAM BUSINESS CARDS
My Biz Card Goes Here. Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener, Plants Seeds of Success for Super Ripe People and Their Dreams
THE FAMOUS EDEN PENCIL. IT IS A COMMENTARY IN MY MIND ON THE VALUE OF MONEY AND THE REAL WEALTH IN SEEDS
I truly believe that our world is being uplifted by the way we spend our dollar. I teach as well that our economic as we know has as much real value as an Eden Pencil made of old dollar bills. The new wealth is in heirloom seeds organically grown, and the knowledge of how to grow our own food by organic principles.
Why are Heirloom Seeds so Important?
Heirloom seeds carry the rich multi-cultural history of the peoples of the earth. Baker Creek. located in Missouri, and its Petaluma Seed Bank. located in an old historic Bank Building, symbolized an emerging trend called the Seed Bank, where local communities will store and develop their own bio-regional seeds.
Baker Creek is geared up to serve the backyard gardener. In my mind, as we plant these seeds, the seeds themselves are blessing us with a wealth and knowledge, teaching us how to live in harmony with our earth. I called our relationship to seeds one of Plant Parenthood, words that I have used for a number of decades. As we parent plants, plants reparent us.
Heirloom Seed represent the cultural integrity of biodiverse culture reigniting. They represent a return to the founding principles of America the Beautiful.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue
In my own Jewish tradition, we speak of the metaphor of the Promised land and hope that one day Eden shall return to the earth. I have named the new Eden, the Enchanted Garden. I am clear that all that stands between us and heaven on earth is enough #RareSeeds finding again their voice with Rare Seeds of heirloom original seeds in hand and ancient grains that have not been hybrid by modern techniques that can contaminate our food supply.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue, a for-sale publication, is for me a Roadmap to Eden. Glancing through the colorful pages is a stunning realization of the world as it has existed and can exist again. The publication is offered in numbers of Whole Foods Markets and online. A free RareSeed Catalogue is also available that can be ordered online. Baker Creek as well puts on an Heirloom Magazine four times a year.
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit and Grow A Necklace for Kids Seeds
My own seed dream is that I will soon have two seed packets added to the Baker Creek line.
The first is based on a Campaign I have called Grow A Healthier Pizza in response to the the state of Pizza described. The second seed is an archetypal seed called Job's Tears.
Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds
The story of Job for me is the seed for these times. We have near lost everything our health and wealth, but we cannot lose faith. I am looking for growers to begin growing out these for the most part ornamental seeds that can be turned into necklaces for kids, i.e, Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds.
Job's Tear seeds come with a hole already running through them. All you have to do is push a thin wire through the hole.
IN SUMMATION, I WANT TO REVIEW SOME OF MY OWN TEACHINGS THAT THEY INSPIRE YOUR ACTIONS
WE WILL COME TO SEE A DAY WHEN FARMING WILL BE WHEREVER POSSIBLE LOCALLY GROWN, ORGANICALLY GROWN, OR BETTER
Farmers are a national treasure. They deserve Fair Trade wages and all the food they grow needs to end up where intended, in the belly of eaters who recognize the therapeutic value of this food and the contribution that local organic farmers are making them. Local Organic Farmers and larger scale organic farmers are leading our nation toward Food Reform and National Health.
Enchanted Garden Club Members prefer to pay their farmer rather than their doctor.
REDEFINING MEDICINE
Doctors, as well, will come to recognize that they are working hand to mouth with local and larger scaled organic farmers as a means of improving national Health Care.
Natural Supplements will continue to be needed as we return to Healthier States of Wellness.
"Medicine" itself has come to a place where it no longer reflects the need of people to invest in Preventive and Self Care. The United States, as a leader in true Democratic Principles embedded in the vision of our nation will return to a healthy respect for Nature and its medicines.
Heroic Measures including surgeries will continue to be needed, yet the foundation of good health is Traditional Medicine as offered for millennium from various cultures.

SUPPORT FOR FAIR TRADE BEGINS WITH YOUR PURCHASING DOLLAR
#CacaoFest 2015 was held on World Fair Trade Day, May 9. Fair Trade begins with our spending dollar. I see a day when the Fair Trade will be acknowledged as the primary label above GMO's. GMO' use Agriculture is Anti-Fair Trade. It is an attempt to beat the natural order. Agriculture is by nature, intensive and labor consuming. Those who produce our food supply need to be treated fairly.
This is why I champion those companies who are Fair Trade aware such as my sponsor Dr.Bronner All One.

CONCLUSIONS
The Story of Job is the Story of These Times. Things are lost. We Can have Faith. Things will come back better than ever! It is the story of Job's Tears, the Seed, the Legend, a Truth for Our Age.
This is the Greeting Card that tells the Story of Job as I Tell it here…
There is a legend told about a man (and this of course applies to woman) who lost all he had. He planted his tears,They grew into Seeds,Seeds of Job's Tears. The Seeds said, Plant Your Dream. He did. His dreams came true. So sow n Tears! Reap in Joy!
Learning to live together means becoming again a nation of heirloom gardeners using sustainable organic methods. It means living Post 911 in a world that cares about our neighbors and seeks out to make friends with those whose path comes in contact with our own.
This is no time to fear our future in spite of what we have personally done to harm and manipulate the weather because we forgot we that the #RareSeed we are is one with the @RareSeeds God and Nature made to inspire our voices along the soul path of doing Random Act of Kindness and growing senseless Acts of beauty.
May i forever see and find coming out of you the beauty I'm you I see the beauty i see in the garden.
Nature has smiles on you to make this world beautiful.
There are so many beautiful #RareSeeds in the world. There are so many Lighting a Single Candle in the Dark and lighting up our Whole World.
Here are a couple of those lovely faces that make we say,
"In You, I see the flowers I love so much in the garden. Nature Has smiled on you to make this world beautiful!'--Leslie Goldman
(Greeting Card #____).
Some are convinced that these are our latter days on earth, and many signs of the times in our stomachs and bowels and kidneys would suggest this, but who among us cannot see a deeper meaning that says each day is precious for us to turn our world into an #EnchantedGarden.
1000 years of peace can begin today for us individually through the legacy we leave in the heart of the next child we inspire to introduce to a fresh piece of sugar cane grown by an Asian farmer we meet at our local farmers market.

The #CampaigntoGrowaHealthierPizza was inspired to ask each person I meet to take their own own sacred #seeddreams out of the box and package and to #PlantYourDream. It was inspired in the knowledge that we can have 1000 years of peace based on inspired individual action and living their lives Intentionally to bring in The Enchanted Garden, a name for our renewed earth.
TAKE AN INTEREST IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, NEIGHBORHOOD, AND NEARBY SCHOOLS
Get to know your Neighbors and Look to them for Support
Look to your neighbors now to share in growing simple foods to be shared as my ally Ron Finley suggests. Study the wisdom of Sacred Seed Keepers who know that wisdom for how to live upon the earth will be personally bestowed to you as you take your own dreams out of the symbolic and literal pizza box and plant your dream!
This is Our Sacred Success Circle at the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost.
I am tending Sacred Seeds Dream here. Who will fill these chairs? Is it you? Do you hear the call, to live here, to visit, to carry forward a visit that we can make friends among our disparate selves, and within our neighborhood?

Walt Robb, Co-Ceo @WholeFoodsMarket inspired my #SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All! and the National Earth Day Weeks Promotion Plant Seeds Protect Pollinators inspired by SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
My own inspiration for Open Access to Food for All 9#OpenAccestoFood for All! ) as well as Open Access to Food for All Pollinators (#OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators ) were BOTH inspired by two projects that came out of @WholeFoodsMarket,
For more than 20 years, I have been part of the Press Corps of the Natural Product Expo West, #ExpoWest , the largest gathering of the natural products Industry. These is the yearly gathering where I see my sponsors face to face and share healing time.
I have been behind the camera witnessing profound generosity from the people that sometimes take the hits from being on the front lines of scale. The word "Scale" I first heard form Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Yogurt. He turned his smaller company over to a larger company so that more of the product could reach more people. The larger company had more access to more people. Often this approach has seemingly backfired when the larger entities are not aligned with the missions of the smaller companies, but I believe that ultimately everything works out for the good.
I have personal examples of friends in corporate positions who are building bridges and their good intentions seep upward.
Many who I have witness at #ExpoWest are same souls who ask questions like "how can we as an industry get healthier food to the underserved?"
Such was a question that @wholefoodsmarket Co-Ceo Walter Robb asked when he brought together some of the powerful and influential voices in the what I call the Cultivating Food Justice movement to The Natural Product Expo March 6. Because of his action, I met Ron Finley, who calls himself a Gangster for Mother Earth;, Will Allen, the famed community food organizer; Robin Emmons of SowMuchGood; and Bishop James Duke, a powerful voice in Chicago who works in a church seting.
Whole Foods Market has taking on a project to remedy the situation of the underserved through organizing a Whole Cities Foundation .

EXCERPT FROM DRAFT OF WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS FOR THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
They receive and give back the bucks to help many, including pollinator.
Later around Earth Day, I was influenced by a promotional campaign where customers who shop were specifically asked to Plant Seeds to Protect Pollinators.
In my San Diego, I began to take special interest in pollinators, specifically Monarch Butterflies through kindling a relationship with our local arboretum, called the Trees for Health Garden in Balboa Park. I saw swarms of Monarch butterflies around a large stand of Milkweed plants. The plants themselves and the butterflies that inhabit them drive home the incredible relationship between plants and pollinators.
FIND AN ARBORETUM WHERE YOU LIVE
Find an arboretum where you live. We have reached a time when Medicine is now defined as something from a bottle. One of my most healing experiences this year, was picking wild Stinging Nettles that are specifics for my own health conditions.
NOTE ON RON FINLEY
I have been deeply inspired by Ron Finley, who called himself a Gangster for Mother Earth when I heard him speak. Out of his desire to grow his own food, entire laws in Los Angels were changed to make food growing more accessible and allowing on city property.
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
In San Diego, we have had friendly laws on the books for numbers of years.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
Planting #Seed Dreams with Enviro-Business Society e3 Members
April 30, 2015. These are our initial goals for Food Reform at SDSU.
Most college campuses are as underserved by real food as those who live in food deserts. Most youth simple do not know what real food is, and this is tragic.
Food Reform will take place in our schools. I want to encourage you to get involved in the schools in your neighborhood.
My own project on campus is geared to my closest Campus, San Diego State University.
WASTE NO WATER
The issue of climate shift will clearly impact the foods we can grow, however, I can only testify to the reality that there are Sacred mystical relationship between our Souls and the Seeds themselves.
Not long ago, around Earth Day, I had some of the Pollinator Seeds from the Whole Foods Campaign blessed at a SDSU Pow Pow. The sky opened and there were light drops as the seeds were blessed. I was calling down the rain.
A few hours later, I was sitting at our Sacred Success Circle waiting for the rain to fall before I put my few blessed seeds in the ground. It was getting cold and dark, and so I got down on my knees and put the seeds in the ground. The second I did, it began to rain.
The message I want to share with you, is please do not wait on your dreams. Plant them now. Their are lead scientists with expertise in Climate who are already grieving the end of the human race as we know it. Study the work of Guy McPherson. It is interesting. I for one, approach the world in a different way that goes beyond science.
I encourage you to Plant Your Dream.
Joining the Enchanted Garden Club & Planting #SeedDreams
Most of the important teachings I share are in pizza boxes affixed to the old recycled pizza box card stock.
Among these teachings are the #sacredSeedPrayer that you will find in The Light Connection article I wrote last summer. I want to send the words of the Enchanted Garden Membership your way now.
Oh, patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
I accept your fulfillment as a by-product
of my own fertile deep dreams flowering.
Remind me that all natural things
on earth grow from seeds.
Open in me the wisdom
contained in a tiny seed that I might too experience
how dreams grow naturally.
The Enchanted Garden,
a name for the new Earth
growing through me, starts here and now!

The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza. Win Back Our Sacred Seeds was inspired by Congress under the influence of Archetypal Commercial Interests that have been influencing government for more than 100 years to make decisions that are out of sync with the Public Good.
I have written a number of #PlantYourDreamBlogs that are intended for an Online book, "The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza."

INTRODUCTION
THE PROJECT BEGINS --FOOD ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL
Leslie Plants #OpenAccess with Ron Finley at #expoWest
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
#RonFinley was a 2015 San Diego State University #Greenfest speaker. I heard him just around the same time at #expowest.
Expo west, The natural products expo west is a yearly event in nearby Anaheim where the top organic and natural food entrepreneurs gather to network and do business each year with their industry. I see #expowest as soon important place for #e3 Cream of the crop @RareSeed future sustainability, and marketing entrepreneurs and more society shifters to interact with potential future employers. I plan to facilitate some of these interactions.
#OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL TAKES ROOT AT SDSU
Because I live within walking distance of the more than 35,000 student population and because of my long time witness of the #e3 club on campus, investing my positive energy to uplift students is a natural fit for my #openaccesstofood for all and my #open access to food for all pollinators projects.
This August and September I plan to be on the road toward the national heirloom expo and beyond. My current need is to stabilize my home environment. I'm finding that contact with the student #E3 members, Numbers who are inviting participation here at the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost is a natural fit.
I spoke and gave an inspired message that was at last #e3 meeting of the semester April 29. I followed up with doing research with the current status of the #SDSU farmers market and current on campus meal plan offerings with up and coming student leader Drew, #e3 member. We made some videos and took photos that are part of this Facebook album. I have been having incredible inspired adventures in recent weeks informing me that now is the time to dads many #seeddreams.
Bridget Rickman Took Notes on Seed Dreams for SDSU
These are photos from my interactions with these @ rareSeeds #E3 members. The future of our Earth it's in their hands. As Leslie Goldman, Your enchanted Gardener I will invite nature and life itself, and my sponsors toextend life forces toward the fulfillment of these #Seeddreams
These include:
1. Plant milkweed
Food for pollinators on campus . Just one milkweed plant to get it going.
2. Improve campus meal plan
begin this Weekend with inviting BrBridget Rickmanridget and Drew to Hillcrest Farmer's market this Sunday to pick out some organic food and get the idea.
Suggest #e3 make contact with University of Redlands. Students there have access to organic food served in the cafeteria and a garden nearby where students work and sell food to the kitchen.
3. SDSU, healthier food options in the meal plan. Fresh food less fast food as a choice.
Have students do research on products and their effects on health. Raising awareness about healthier food and why making healthier food choices is important.
4. More organic foods in the meal plan.
5. Healthier food options including Ancient non GMO Organic wheat at Oggis pizza on campus.
Note: I already met the manager here. He is used to doing special organic pizza dough at the request of Glen.
6. Farmers market improvements
More farmers with fresh vegetables and fruit.
There is a SDSU Farmers market on campus from 10 to 3 many Thursdays during the school year.
Begin with #e3 's having fresh strawberries from #J.R. Organics CSA
Quick and easy organic snacks presented by #e3.
The trip to Hillcrest Farmer's market, this Sunday.

#PlantYourDream is the key to bringing in 1000 years piece for our world. We either live in a world created by someone else's dream or a world that is uplifted through the dreams we plan to ourselves that our soul inspired.
This is Monique. Planting her dreams at our #SacredSeedOutpost that #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost that aims to become an #EnchantedGardenIntentionalCommunity . The enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth. It grows one @RareSeed at a time as we age when back our sacred seeds. Sacred seed is a metaphor as well as a literal heirloom original seed grown out by organic sustainable methods. When I use the word @RareSeeds I am making reference to our collective identity as being individual sacred seeds as human beings. I'm also making reference to Baker Creek heirloom seed company Who uses that #. Jere Gettle, the founder, is archetypal to me of the thousands of individual #RareSeeds Who have found their soul expressions, their Voice through personal and individual #FoodReform.
My umbrella #Campaigns #EnchantedGarden campaigns for 2015 include. #WinningBack OurSacredSeeds and #TheEnchantedGarden MobilesJouneyto WinBackOurSacredSeeds
#Open access to food for all and open access to food for all pollinators. And open access to food for SDSU students are among current #PkantYourDreamBlogs.
I also take great joy in working with local farmers and their families and employees at my local farmers market's. #The come back of JoetheFarmer
Literal reference to uplifting the fifth generation Rodriguez Family as well as seen the archetype of #Joe thefarmer as The plight of every local organic farmer striving today to value and balance providing nutrition per acre as well as sustainable profit per acre.
I'm constantly looking for to #CultivateFoodJustice
Working with the local #hope restored Swahili speaking community located on grounds of the #HillcrestFarmerMarket also excites me..

This was my display at the Opening Ceremony of #CacaoFest 2015 May 9, 2015. The water bottle was filled with the #CacaoFestRain that fell miraculously the day before. I felt the rain was a Blessing from Nature that was smiling on this event that was calling attention to the Indigenous people who stand behind #fortheloveofchocolate a theme of #CacaoFest 2015.
Other Ceremonial objects in this photo included two posters from Dr. Bronner's ALL-ONE love philosophy, a basket of Job's Tears Seed Packets, two pots of #SeedDreams that were used through the day with the invite to #PlantYourDream, and a basket of aged @RareSeeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company via the Petaluma Seed Bank and Paul Wallace the Aged seed were given as gifts to the Danza Dancers and its leader Alejandro Meraz Chichiltekolotl There is also a Milkweed Plant in this picture and Organic Sunflower Seeds from Whole Foods Market Hillcrest and their #PartyforthePollinators Earth weeks campaign initiated nationally by @Wholefoodsmarket

NOTES TO MYSELF

Have each small section connected to a Facebook photo…
with the words of each section included on Facebook.
Move section on Jere to Beginning.
Find it.
OK. Prep
Keep my focus…
The Earth is Ours
We need a Reorientation to life.
This Earth is Ours. It belongs to all of us.
We are all growing in the same pot, that is one of my Enchanted Garden Teachings. I am interesting in the causes of how we got to this place. Let's ask those who are taking up too much space in the single pot where we all grow to take less place, and for those who need to be represented to have their own fair share of space.
The Problem with GMOs is that many who are investing in this core idea have lost their moral compass. Profit has superseded the fundamental principle that we are all growing in the same pot.
I am convinced that many who are following the path of Biotech well meaning people, and yet it is time that GMO lovers and organic lovers talk if our Growing in ALL ONe pot is to not only "Survive This Day" but thrive.
Being the Rare Seed you are, taking your dream out of the pizza box, out of the silver box is a step in the right direction.
The March Against Monsanto and Outgrowing GMOs Through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
The March Against Monsanto is a growing movement that i support> I believe Monsanto is being asked by nature herself to stop it! The high cost of going this way gives profits but bears the fruit of bad hunan health and plagues upon us.
Nature always wins. An organic uprising within Rare Seeds wi;; prevail, and the number of actually @rareSeeds growing will prevail because this is the moral and ethical thing to do.
Monsanto is indicative of making war against nature.
This is a lost cause.
People will learn to feed themselves.

OUTTAKES
These documents have put many on the path to knowing the seeds they want to plant. Most people already know when I ask them to pull their dreams out of the Box I carry.
The March toward Being the Rare Seed you are
I am not against Marching Against Monsanto. For one it brings those of us together who need to come together, together, Marching does ask people to ask questions who have still not even heard of GMOs; yet, I want to give you here some Tips for Outgrowing GMOs based on Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds,. Then I want to reflect briefly on some of the Rare Seeds who have inspired my own life and work in the last numbers of years.
OUTTAKES
SACRED SEED, SACRED PLANT!
The Sacred Seed Prayer is another central pillar of my work.
I read "Sacred Seed! Sacred Plant" in my talk at #MAM San Diego. Those present received these words:
Sacred Seed, Sacred Plant!
I hold you in my hands,
and I hold you as my future.
Thank you for representing the wishes
I am planting.
As you grow, so will my Seed Dreams.
Growing you will help me
celebrate the harvest in my life.
Thank you for reminding me
I am a Sacred Seed.
Thank you for reminding me
that the Universe thrives as I thrive.
Today we grow a new Enchanted Garden,
a renewed Earth!
Why We Need To Win Back Our Sacred Seeds
http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1953123
This appears in The Life Connection Article here
http://lifeconnectionmagazine.com/helping-uncle-sam-marry-anti-gmo/
I recognize that not everyone can travel the distance to this wonder of wonders agricultural fair, and so, along the way, I visit Farmers' Markets, and on occasion, recognize foods that are deserving of a Blue Ribbon from the #WorldsFairofPureFood. It is my honor to give them, these the same blue ribbons we award at the National Heirloom Expo.
Most of All, along the way, I am engaging those I meet in the story that I will tell in my classes.
We are #RareSeeds. When we plant @RareSeeds indicative of the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection and many other heirloom and Organic Seed growers, we are Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds.
We are practicing the Indigenous ways of seed growing and seed saving that has been the hallmark of people since time began who have lived in harmony with the earth, her soil, and her natural seasons. In growing these seeds, we are popularizing a way of life that trumps GMO Ag and large scale ag that needs chemicals to survive. In this the age of of Peak Oil, what other healthy choice do we have than to return to what has always worked, systems of sustainable local culture that grows Sacred Food to grow its dreams.
Flyers from the National Heirloom Expo will be placed along my route wherever welcomed
She along the way, and inspiring others about the National Heirloom Expo.
CONCLUSIONS
There is a Dream inside each of us, and it is our destiny to keep it alive. There are also the dreams of those who have come before us, and who understood what it means to be a nature Boy.
KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE!
KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE! DR. BERNARD JENSEN AND THE ROMANCE OF SEEDS
Leslie (That's me) with Dr. Bernard Jensen, 1980's or 1990's in my backyard.
As a teen, I was radically effected by the death of my mother who died of cancer when i was 12 years old. My aunt, about a decade later, also had cancer. She turned to healthy practices and lived another 50 years. My own health was degenerating through high school and college. It was my aunt who took me out of the city and to the doorstep of Dr. Berbard jensen, a pioneer San Dirdo resident and healing arts master
It was he who put mr on the pash of Food Reform and asked me to follow in the footsteps of other Fiid Reformers he had known including Alfred W. McCann, author of "The Science of Eating."
Keeping the Dream Alive? What does that mean? We have lost so much nature wisdom. Dr. Bernard Jensen was a charismatic speaker and teacher. His presence on the stage was magnetic. We were friends for more than 30 years. I call him my spiritual father. Dr. Bernard Jensen left a legacy in books and teachings, but his legacy is mainly what he passed to those who knew him and were touched by him.
In the years ahead, I will look forward to holding a copy of his life story in my hands. I and his grandson, Jon D. Jensen, are beginning to imagine such a seed dream.
Many today have no idea what the Dream is--Whole, Pure, Nature, Fresh, Organic. They do not know what the herbs of the field can do for us. Dr. Bernard Jensen called himself a Nature Boy, and I am honored to the extent that I can, to follow his footsteps.
I wrote a number of his books from his words, and their is more story to tell.
We created a Magic Survival Kit together. Book Two is called "Survive This Day." One section is called,
"The Romance of Seeds." Dr. Jensen was the first person to alert me to that Romance, that heightens and magnifies as I pursue my purpose for living.
HOW THE CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA WAS BORN
https://www.facebook.com/GrowAHealthierPizza
The Campaign to Grow A Healthier came into being through a syncronisitiy of events. I had long been a friend of ancient wheat through my relationship with the stories of Zoroaster that Essene Renaissance leader Edmond Bordeaux Szekely told.
Enter Bob Quinn and Kamut Pizza Making Real Dough
I met Bob Quinn who was also enamored with ancient wheat and planted a handful of Kamut ® Ancient Grains that now supports 1000's of acres of organic commerce.
Then during prop 37, I received one of 167,000 packages of Pizza making San Marzano tomato Sauce seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom @RareSeeds who gifted them the Ca labeling effort. I was deeply involved in that campaign.
The Government has been Cheating on Us
http:http://www.curezone.org/ig/i.asp?i=77274//www.curezone.org/ig/i.asp?i=77274
In 2011, I was in Washington DC speaking at Organic Listening Day and volunteering to be the Enchanted Gardener for the USDA. I thought again to go East in 2012.. That single pack of heirloom seeds turned my direction north to the National heirloom Expo.
Then, I heard Deborah Szekely, co-founder of Rancho La Puerta on a tirade against the government for saying two ounces of tomato sauce defined Pizza as a vegetable.
If they were going to do that, I was going to Grow A Healthier Pizza.
Most of the teachings I share with others are now contained in Pizza Boxes as graphic designsI create.
The centerpiece of the Campaign are these words:
If Commercial Interests once again have convinced Congress to do business as usual, and that profits are more important that our children having improved school lunches, if Congress has said that a few tablespoons of tomato sauce define Pizza as a Vegetable, then we as Conscious Consumers will 'Grow a Healthier Pizza." Amber waves of Grain Growing will Return Spaciaous Skies of America the Beautiful to us. These will Win Back Our Sacred Seeds: The right to Know that every Ingredient in Food is Labeled, to Know that Food is Medicine, To Know How to Grow Our Own Food."
" Once Again" The Gov has been Unfaithful…
The words in the Grow a Healthier Pizza document, "Once Again" are loaded. They are a reference to Sell outs to Big Business that go out more than 100 years.
Today one of our big issues about food is transparency. The effort to Label it, GMO Labeling, and the buy out of voting through mis and disinformation on the part of moneyed commercial processed food interests are only repeats of tactics that have been going on since Alfred W. McCann and Dr. Thomas W. Wiley waved the banner calling for Food Reform during the WW1 days and decades before.
Five Impossible Things before Breakfast…Lunch, and Dinner
In Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" Alice falls down the rabbit hole to face her heroic journey and find her Own Sacred Seed. Then she comes out of the rabbit hole PizzaBox, so to speak, determined to turn her own life from cocoon to butterfly. Before she goes hole dropping, she is at a wedding scene and witnesses her brother-in-law breaking his own marriage vows.
Similarly, our federal government has been cheating on us, going hook, line and sinker into the Biotech farm bed and courting unholy Trade agreements that are geared to bring Food Safety to corporate wealth holders and again sell out the Real Food American Drean.
What is sold in the marketplace as Food for the most part is not food. It is commodities more intended to reap profits than give kids and adults the necessary refined elements to speak our truths and find their prophetic voices as Seed Freedom heroes who are born to turn to turn our world into an Enchanted Garden.
These values are shifting. More and more people are coming to terms with the assault upon our health and we are through our purchasing power driving these corporations to last ditch efforts before they either all turn organic or make their exits to Mars.
The SCIENCE OF EATING
Muckraker journalist Alfred W McCann around World War I wrote "The Science of Eating" and "Starving America." I introduce
Alfred W. McCann on #PlantYourDreamBlog Wordpress. He knew even then that we were selling out our kids. He saw a generation who were mainly 4F or near to it. He called for Food Reform. He said that Food Reform must begin in the schools.
http://plantyourdream.net/?page_id=12927
The History of a Crime Against the Food Law 1929
His friend Thomas Washington Wiley M.D. worked diligently for the agency that became the FDA. He helpled to pass the Pure Food and Drug Law of 1906 that would have made junk food and GMO's as we know them illegal, however, commercial interests kept his law from being applied and later disallowed it. The truth is, our federal government has been cheating on us since then if not before.
DR WILEY'S BOOK
Dr. Wiley's Book, published in 1929 is also online here
It is called "The History of a Crime Against the Food Law."

We are truly bankrupt. The Real Power is in Heirllom Seeds and Knowing How to Grow Them

GMO's in Agriculture simply do not work, Biotech applied to medicine is a phenomena that has saved lives, as many other heroic measures, however, they are now so engrained in The buck, the moneybag, it, that they are without our knowing taking us deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole head over heals in our Medical Doctor's love affair with Big Pharma. Money today is worth little more and then an Eden Foods pencil made from old dead dollar bills.
THIS IS THE STORY ABOUT GOVERNMENT SELL OUT THAT INSPIRED ME TO START GROWING A GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT, LITERALLY WITH ANCIENT GRAIN THAT WE WOULD ONE DAY OUTGROW MONSANTO AND ALL THOSE ELEMENTS IN THE WORLD YOU PUT PROFITS ABOVE @RARESEEDS
I believe since I began growing ancient Kamut® Khorasan wheat myself in 2012, things have improved.

MY JOURNEY TO THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO
If all goes to plan, I will stabilize on the home front, and be free to travel in August and September to the National Heirloom Expo.
My Journey will be sponsored by the companies I already have as sponsors and a few others I have in mind.
The last four years a have taken a Journey of Faith to the World's Pure Food Fair in Santa Rosa, CA from San Diego. Called the National Heirloom Expo, this year to be held September 8-10, the event is a lovely agricultural fair with incredible displays of food, animal life, meaningful talks, and displays of special products that are carefully chosen to be in the show.
Not everyone in California can attend and so, seeing myself as representative of the event, I am handing out Blue Ribbons on my travels to foods, products, and people that I feel deserve acknowledgement at this the Pure Food World's Fair.
Another Joy I have, both at the event and in route, in introducing youth and adults to the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection that Epitomizes an inventory of @rRareSeeds in the world
I have great joy introducing the #RareSeeds I meet, by this I mean you and I, to @RareSeeds from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection. I believe that we are intended to return to begin a nation of small scale gardeners, supplemented by foods grown by larger scale organic and biodynamic farmers who have our best interests at heart. I believe the farmer's we support need to be more concerned with producing more nutrition per acre tha profit per acre; and it is a necessity that shoppers recognize that our farmers are a national treasure. The foods they produce need to end up where intended--our stomachs--and every farmer needs to compensated as a act of Fair Trade. Farmers deserve a good livelihood. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor.
Let's begin with the seed.
The Enchanted Garden Mobile's Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds
Open Access to Food for All!
Open Access to Food for All Pollinators,/H2>
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds Starts with Winnng Back Our Individual Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds is an epic enterprise that begins with realizing that Winning Back "Our" Collective Seeds, begins with each of us Winning Back our Own Sacred Seed. Here is some background, and a description of the specific Seed Dreams I have launched that I believe will help restore America The Beautiful!
1.
" This Earth is Ours" so Let's Take Care of Her
My friend, Gurdeep Stephens wrote a book called "This Earth is Ours." It is for this reason that I travel with a Reacher in the EG Mobile, my 68 VW Van, as well as a bucketful of ancient grains of wheat.
Everywhere I go, I want to pick up trash with my reacher. Picking up trash reminds me that "This Earth is Ours" and it is my responsibility to Keep her Clean. Often this task is most difficult at home and in my personal space, where my personality needs often have me overworking and generating thousands of ideas and papers. The attempt to live on a 1/3 acre parcel near San Diego State University as a house manager also means I am constantly called upon to meet not only my needs the needs of others, as well as from time to time filling vacancies in the household. For a long time, I referred to the home where I live as the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community; however, I was likely the only person over the years who held this vision in the same way that I do. Most recently, I am focused on growing an Enchanted Garden Rare Seeds Outpost, based on the idea that here at home, even in a few tended buckets, I can do my part to keep Rare Seeds, that represent multi-cultural diversity in the world alive.
I am always looking to see the unique talents a person brings to our household. Often I am influenced as well by my own baggage and theirs, as I find meaningful moments to Plant my own dreams, and create sacred space.
Agriculture 2015 is in transition
Agriculture 2015 is in transition from large-scale centralized food growers using chemical and unnatural technological methods, such as growing food using Genetically Modified Organisms. Humans may pass laws and make whatever Trade Agreements they imagine they want to ensure profits; however, ultimately Nature's Original Technology says NOT to what international and Corporate Interests feel they need to do. Food Safety and Security ultimately will come down to learning to grow our own food and establish local systems rather than base Food Safety on their needs of a few individuals to continue to make profits and feel safe from activists who might want to control their appetites when all of us, the served and underserved need "Open Access to Food for All! and #Open Access to Food for All Pollinators.
ONE OF MY PLANT YOUR DREAM BUSINESS CARDS
My Biz Card Goes Here. Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener, Plants Seeds of Success for Super Ripe People and Their Dreams
THE FAMOUS EDEN PENCIL. IT IS A COMMENTARY IN MY MIND ON THE VALUE OF MONEY AND THE REAL WEALTH IN SEEDS
I truly believe that our world is being uplifted by the way we spend our dollar. I teach as well that our economic as we know has as much real value as an Eden Pencil made of old dollar bills. The new wealth is in heirloom seeds organically grown, and the knowledge of how to grow our own food by organic principles.
Why are Heirloom Seeds so Important?
Heirloom seeds carry the rich multi-cultural history of the peoples of the earth. Baker Creek. located in Missouri, and its Petaluma Seed Bank. located in an old historic Bank Building, symbolized an emerging trend called the Seed Bank, where local communities will store and develop their own bio-regional seeds.
Baker Creek is geared up to serve the backyard gardener. In my mind, as we plant these seeds, the seeds themselves are blessing us with a wealth and knowledge, teaching us how to live in harmony with our earth. I called our relationship to seeds one of Plant Parenthood, words that I have used for a number of decades. As we parent plants, plants reparent us.
Heirloom Seed represent the cultural integrity of biodiverse culture reigniting. They represent a return to the founding principles of America the Beautiful.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue
In my own Jewish tradition, we speak of the metaphor of the Promised land and hope that one day Eden shall return to the earth. I have named the new Eden, the Enchanted Garden. I am clear that all that stands between us and heaven on earth is enough #RareSeeds finding again their voice with Rare Seeds of heirloom original seeds in hand and ancient grains that have not been hybrid by modern techniques that can contaminate our food supply.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue, a for-sale publication, is for me a Roadmap to Eden. Glancing through the colorful pages is a stunning realization of the world as it has existed and can exist again. The publication is offered in numbers of Whole Foods Markets and online. A free RareSeed Catalogue is also available that can be ordered online. Baker Creek as well puts on an Heirloom Magazine four times a year.
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit and Grow A Necklace for Kids Seeds
My own seed dream is that I will soon have two seed packets added to the Baker Creek line.
The first is based on a Campaign I have called Grow A Healthier Pizza in response to the the state of Pizza described. The second seed is an archetypal seed called Job's Tears.
Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds
The story of Job for me is the seed for these times. We have near lost everything our health and wealth, but we cannot lose faith. I am looking for growers to begin growing out these for the most part ornamental seeds that can be turned into necklaces for kids, i.e, Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds.
Job's Tear seeds come with a hole already running through them. All you have to do is push a thin wire through the hole.
IN SUMMATION, I WANT TO REVIEW SOME OF MY OWN TEACHINGS THAT THEY INSPIRE YOUR ACTIONS
WE WILL COME TO SEE A DAY WHEN FARMING WILL BE WHEREVER POSSIBLE LOCALLY GROWN, ORGANICALLY GROWN, OR BETTER
Farmers are a national treasure. They deserve Fair Trade wages and all the food they grow needs to end up where intended, in the belly of eaters who recognize the therapeutic value of this food and the contribution that local organic farmers are making them. Local Organic Farmers and larger scale organic farmers are leading our nation toward Food Reform and National Health.
Enchanted Garden Club Members prefer to pay their farmer rather than their doctor.
REDEFINING MEDICINE
Doctors, as well, will come to recognize that they are working hand to mouth with local and larger scaled organic farmers as a means of improving national Health Care.
Natural Supplements will continue to be needed as we return to Healthier States of Wellness.
"Medicine" itself has come to a place where it no longer reflects the need of people to invest in Preventive and Self Care. The United States, as a leader in true Democratic Principles embedded in the vision of our nation will return to a healthy respect for Nature and its medicines.
Heroic Measures including surgeries will continue to be needed, yet the foundation of good health is Traditional Medicine as offered for millennium from various cultures.

SUPPORT FOR FAIR TRADE BEGINS WITH YOUR PURCHASING DOLLAR
#CacaoFest 2015 was held on World Fair Trade Day, May 9. Fair Trade begins with our spending dollar. I see a day when the Fair Trade will be acknowledged as the primary label above GMO's. GMO' use Agriculture is Anti-Fair Trade. It is an attempt to beat the natural order. Agriculture is by nature, intensive and labor consuming. Those who produce our food supply need to be treated fairly.
This is why I champion those companies who are Fair Trade aware such as my sponsor Dr.Bronner All One.

CONCLUSIONS
The Story of Job is the Story of These Times. Things are lost. We Can have Faith. Things will come back better than ever! It is the story of Job's Tears, the Seed, the Legend, a Truth for Our Age.
This is the Greeting Card that tells the Story of Job as I Tell it here…
There is a legend told about a man (and this of course applies to woman) who lost all he had. He planted his tears,They grew into Seeds,Seeds of Job's Tears. The Seeds said, Plant Your Dream. He did. His dreams came true. So sow n Tears! Reap in Joy!
Learning to live together means becoming again a nation of heirloom gardeners using sustainable organic methods. It means living Post 911 in a world that cares about our neighbors and seeks out to make friends with those whose path comes in contact with our own.
This is no time to fear our future in spite of what we have personally done to harm and manipulate the weather because we forgot we that the #RareSeed we are is one with the @RareSeeds God and Nature made to inspire our voices along the soul path of doing Random Act of Kindness and growing senseless Acts of beauty.
May i forever see and find coming out of you the beauty I'm you I see the beauty i see in the garden.
Nature has smiles on you to make this world beautiful.
There are so many beautiful #RareSeeds in the world. There are so many Lighting a Single Candle in the Dark and lighting up our Whole World.
Here are a couple of those lovely faces that make we say,
"In You, I see the flowers I love so much in the garden. Nature Has smiled on you to make this world beautiful!'--Leslie Goldman
(Greeting Card #____).
Some are convinced that these are our latter days on earth, and many signs of the times in our stomachs and bowels and kidneys would suggest this, but who among us cannot see a deeper meaning that says each day is precious for us to turn our world into an #EnchantedGarden.
1000 years of peace can begin today for us individually through the legacy we leave in the heart of the next child we inspire to introduce to a fresh piece of sugar cane grown by an Asian farmer we meet at our local farmers market.

The #CampaigntoGrowaHealthierPizza was inspired to ask each person I meet to take their own own sacred #seeddreams out of the box and package and to #PlantYourDream. It was inspired in the knowledge that we can have 1000 years of peace based on inspired individual action and living their lives Intentionally to bring in The Enchanted Garden, a name for our renewed earth.
TAKE AN INTEREST IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, NEIGHBORHOOD, AND NEARBY SCHOOLS
Get to know your Neighbors and Look to them for Support
Look to your neighbors now to share in growing simple foods to be shared as my ally Ron Finley suggests. Study the wisdom of Sacred Seed Keepers who know that wisdom for how to live upon the earth will be personally bestowed to you as you take your own dreams out of the symbolic and literal pizza box and plant your dream!
This is Our Sacred Success Circle at the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost.
I am tending Sacred Seeds Dream here. Who will fill these chairs? Is it you? Do you hear the call, to live here, to visit, to carry forward a visit that we can make friends among our disparate selves, and within our neighborhood?

THIS IS AN EXCERPT UNEDITED FROM MY DRAFT OF AN ARTICLE BEING WRITTEN FOR THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
PROPS TO WHOLE FOODS MARKET
RESPONDING TO A CALL FOR UNITY THAT WER ALL GROW TOGETHER NOW
Walt Robb, Co-Ceo @WholeFoodsMarket inspired my #SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All! and the National Earth Day Weeks Promotion Plant Seeds Protect Pollinators inspired by SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
My own inspiration for Open Access to Food for All 9#OpenAccestoFood for All! ) as well as Open Access to Food for All Pollinators (#OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators ) were BOTH inspired by two projects that came out of @WholeFoodsMarket,
For more than 20 years, I have been part of the Press Corps of the Natural Product Expo West, #ExpoWest , the largest gathering of the natural products Industry. These is the yearly gathering where I see my sponsors face to face and share healing time.
I have been behind the camera witnessing profound generosity from the people that sometimes take the hits from being on the front lines of scale. The word "Scale" I first heard form Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Yogurt. He turned his smaller company over to a larger company so that more of the product could reach more people. The larger company had more access to more people. Often this approach has seemingly backfired when the larger entities are not aligned with the missions of the smaller companies, but I believe that ultimately everything works out for the good.
I have personal examples of friends in corporate positions who are building bridges and their good intentions seep upward.
Many who I have witness at #ExpoWest are same souls who ask questions like "how can we as an industry get healthier food to the underserved?"
Such was a question that @wholefoodsmarket Co-Ceo Walter Robb asked when he brought together some of the powerful and influential voices in the what I call the Cultivating Food Justice movement to The Natural Product Expo March 6. Because of his action, I met Ron Finley, who calls himself a Gangster for Mother Earth;, Will Allen, the famed community food organizer; Robin Emmons of SowMuchGood; and Bishop James Duke, a powerful voice in Chicago who works in a church seting.
Whole Foods Market has taking on a project to remedy the situation of the underserved through organizing a Whole Cities Foundation .

EXCERPT FROM DRAFT OF WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS FOR THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
They receive and give back the bucks to help many, including pollinator.
Later around Earth Day, I was influenced by a promotional campaign where customers who shop were specifically asked to Plant Seeds to Protect Pollinators.
In my San Diego, I began to take special interest in pollinators, specifically Monarch Butterflies through kindling a relationship with our local arboretum, called the Trees for Health Garden in Balboa Park. I saw swarms of Monarch butterflies around a large stand of Milkweed plants. The plants themselves and the butterflies that inhabit them drive home the incredible relationship between plants and pollinators.
FIND AN ARBORETUM WHERE YOU LIVE
Find an arboretum where you live. We have reached a time when Medicine is now defined as something from a bottle. One of my most healing experiences this year, was picking wild Stinging Nettles that are specifics for my own health conditions.
NOTE ON RON FINLEY
I have been deeply inspired by Ron Finley, who called himself a Gangster for Mother Earth when I heard him speak. Out of his desire to grow his own food, entire laws in Los Angels were changed to make food growing more accessible and allowing on city property.
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
In San Diego, we have had friendly laws on the books for numbers of years.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
Planting #Seed Dreams with Enviro-Business Society e3 Members
April 30, 2015. These are our initial goals for Food Reform at SDSU.
Most college campuses are as underserved by real food as those who live in food deserts. Most youth simple do not know what real food is, and this is tragic.
Food Reform will take place in our schools. I want to encourage you to get involved in the schools in your neighborhood.
My own project on campus is geared to my closest Campus, San Diego State University.
WASTE NO WATER
The issue of climate shift will clearly impact the foods we can grow, however, I can only testify to the reality that there are Sacred mystical relationship between our Souls and the Seeds themselves.
Not long ago, around Earth Day, I had some of the Pollinator Seeds from the Whole Foods Campaign blessed at a SDSU Pow Pow. The sky opened and there were light drops as the seeds were blessed. I was calling down the rain.
A few hours later, I was sitting at our Sacred Success Circle waiting for the rain to fall before I put my few blessed seeds in the ground. It was getting cold and dark, and so I got down on my knees and put the seeds in the ground. The second I did, it began to rain.
The message I want to share with you, is please do not wait on your dreams. Plant them now. Their are lead scientists with expertise in Climate who are already grieving the end of the human race as we know it. Study the work of Guy McPherson. It is interesting. I for one, approach the world in a different way that goes beyond science.
I encourage you to Plant Your Dream.
Joining the Enchanted Garden Club & Planting #SeedDreams
Most of the important teachings I share are in pizza boxes affixed to the old recycled pizza box card stock.
Among these teachings are the #sacredSeedPrayer that you will find in The Light Connection article I wrote last summer. I want to send the words of the Enchanted Garden Membership your way now.
Oh, patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
I accept your fulfillment as a by-product
of my own fertile deep dreams flowering.
Remind me that all natural things
on earth grow from seeds.
Open in me the wisdom
contained in a tiny seed that I might too experience
how dreams grow naturally.
The Enchanted Garden,
a name for the new Earth
growing through me, starts here and now!

The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza. Win Back Our Sacred Seeds was inspired by Congress under the influence of Archetypal Commercial Interests that have been influencing government for more than 100 years to make decisions that are out of sync with the Public Good.
I have written a number of #PlantYourDreamBlogs that are intended for an Online book, "The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza."

INTRODUCTION
THE PROJECT BEGINS --FOOD ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL
Leslie Plants #OpenAccess with Ron Finley at #expoWest
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
#RonFinley was a 2015 San Diego State University #Greenfest speaker. I heard him just around the same time at #expowest.
Expo west, The natural products expo west is a yearly event in nearby Anaheim where the top organic and natural food entrepreneurs gather to network and do business each year with their industry. I see #expowest as soon important place for #e3 Cream of the crop @RareSeed future sustainability, and marketing entrepreneurs and more society shifters to interact with potential future employers. I plan to facilitate some of these interactions.
#OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL TAKES ROOT AT SDSU
Because I live within walking distance of the more than 35,000 student population and because of my long time witness of the #e3 club on campus, investing my positive energy to uplift students is a natural fit for my #openaccesstofood for all and my #open access to food for all pollinators projects.
This August and September I plan to be on the road toward the national heirloom expo and beyond. My current need is to stabilize my home environment. I'm finding that contact with the student #E3 members, Numbers who are inviting participation here at the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost is a natural fit.
I spoke and gave an inspired message that was at last #e3 meeting of the semester April 29. I followed up with doing research with the current status of the #SDSU farmers market and current on campus meal plan offerings with up and coming student leader Drew, #e3 member. We made some videos and took photos that are part of this Facebook album. I have been having incredible inspired adventures in recent weeks informing me that now is the time to dads many #seeddreams.
Bridget Rickman Took Notes on Seed Dreams for SDSU
These are photos from my interactions with these @ rareSeeds #E3 members. The future of our Earth it's in their hands. As Leslie Goldman, Your enchanted Gardener I will invite nature and life itself, and my sponsors toextend life forces toward the fulfillment of these #Seeddreams
These include:
1. Plant milkweed
Food for pollinators on campus . Just one milkweed plant to get it going.
2. Improve campus meal plan
begin this Weekend with inviting BrBridget Rickmanridget and Drew to Hillcrest Farmer's market this Sunday to pick out some organic food and get the idea.
Suggest #e3 make contact with University of Redlands. Students there have access to organic food served in the cafeteria and a garden nearby where students work and sell food to the kitchen.
3. SDSU, healthier food options in the meal plan. Fresh food less fast food as a choice.
Have students do research on products and their effects on health. Raising awareness about healthier food and why making healthier food choices is important.
4. More organic foods in the meal plan.
5. Healthier food options including Ancient non GMO Organic wheat at Oggis pizza on campus.
Note: I already met the manager here. He is used to doing special organic pizza dough at the request of Glen.
6. Farmers market improvements
More farmers with fresh vegetables and fruit.
There is a SDSU Farmers market on campus from 10 to 3 many Thursdays during the school year.
Begin with #e3 's having fresh strawberries from #J.R. Organics CSA
Quick and easy organic snacks presented by #e3.
The trip to Hillcrest Farmer's market, this Sunday.

#PlantYourDream is the key to bringing in 1000 years piece for our world. We either live in a world created by someone else's dream or a world that is uplifted through the dreams we plan to ourselves that our soul inspired.
This is Monique. Planting her dreams at our #SacredSeedOutpost that #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost that aims to become an #EnchantedGardenIntentionalCommunity . The enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth. It grows one @RareSeed at a time as we age when back our sacred seeds. Sacred seed is a metaphor as well as a literal heirloom original seed grown out by organic sustainable methods. When I use the word @RareSeeds I am making reference to our collective identity as being individual sacred seeds as human beings. I'm also making reference to Baker Creek heirloom seed company Who uses that #. Jere Gettle, the founder, is archetypal to me of the thousands of individual #RareSeeds Who have found their soul expressions, their Voice through personal and individual #FoodReform.
My umbrella #Campaigns #EnchantedGarden campaigns for 2015 include. #WinningBack OurSacredSeeds and #TheEnchantedGarden MobilesJouneyto WinBackOurSacredSeeds
#Open access to food for all and open access to food for all pollinators. And open access to food for SDSU students are among current #PkantYourDreamBlogs.
I also take great joy in working with local farmers and their families and employees at my local farmers market's. #The come back of JoetheFarmer
Literal reference to uplifting the fifth generation Rodriguez Family as well as seen the archetype of #Joe thefarmer as The plight of every local organic farmer striving today to value and balance providing nutrition per acre as well as sustainable profit per acre.
I'm constantly looking for to #CultivateFoodJustice
Working with the local #hope restored Swahili speaking community located on grounds of the #HillcrestFarmerMarket also excites me..

CEREMONY WORK AT #CACAO FEST MAY 9, 2015
Added May 13, 2015
This was my display at the Opening Ceremony of #CacaoFest 2015 May 9, 2015. The water bottle was filled with the #CacaoFestRain that fell miraculously the day before. I felt the rain was a Blessing from Nature that was smiling on this event that was calling attention to the Indigenous people who stand behind #fortheloveofchocolate a theme of #CacaoFest 2015.
Other Ceremonial objects in this photo included two posters from Dr. Bronner's ALL-ONE love philosophy, a basket of Job's Tears Seed Packets, two pots of #SeedDreams that were used through the day with the invite to #PlantYourDream, and a basket of aged @RareSeeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company via the Petaluma Seed Bank and Paul Wallace the Aged seed were given as gifts to the Danza Dancers and its leader Alejandro Meraz Chichiltekolotl There is also a Milkweed Plant in this picture and Organic Sunflower Seeds from Whole Foods Market Hillcrest and their #PartyforthePollinators Earth weeks campaign initiated nationally by @Wholefoodsmarket

The Earth is Ours
We need a Reorientation to life.
This Earth is Ours. It belongs to all of us.
We are all growing in the same pot, that is one of my Enchanted Garden Teachings. I am interesting in the causes of how we got to this place. Let's ask those who are taking up too much space in the single pot where we all grow to take less place, and for those who need to be represented to have their own fair share of space.
The Problem with GMOs is that many who are investing in this core idea have lost their moral compass. Profit has superseded the fundamental principle that we are all growing in the same pot.
I am convinced that many who are following the path of Biotech well meaning people, and yet it is time that GMO lovers and organic lovers talk if our Growing in ALL ONe pot is to not only "Survive This Day" but thrive.
Being the Rare Seed you are, taking your dream out of the pizza box, out of the silver box is a step in the right direction.
The March Against Monsanto and Outgrowing GMOs Through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
The March Against Monsanto is a growing movement that i support> I believe Monsanto is being asked by nature herself to stop it! The high cost of going this way gives profits but bears the fruit of bad hunan health and plagues upon us.
Nature always wins. An organic uprising within Rare Seeds wi;; prevail, and the number of actually @rareSeeds growing will prevail because this is the moral and ethical thing to do.
Monsanto is indicative of making war against nature.
This is a lost cause.
People will learn to feed themselves.

OUTTAKES
These documents have put many on the path to knowing the seeds they want to plant. Most people already know when I ask them to pull their dreams out of the Box I carry.
The March toward Being the Rare Seed you are
I am not against Marching Against Monsanto. For one it brings those of us together who need to come together, together, Marching does ask people to ask questions who have still not even heard of GMOs; yet, I want to give you here some Tips for Outgrowing GMOs based on Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds,. Then I want to reflect briefly on some of the Rare Seeds who have inspired my own life and work in the last numbers of years.
OUTTAKES
SACRED SEED, SACRED PLANT!
The Sacred Seed Prayer is another central pillar of my work.
I read "Sacred Seed! Sacred Plant" in my talk at #MAM San Diego. Those present received these words:
Sacred Seed, Sacred Plant!
I hold you in my hands,
and I hold you as my future.
Thank you for representing the wishes
I am planting.
As you grow, so will my Seed Dreams.
Growing you will help me
celebrate the harvest in my life.
Thank you for reminding me
I am a Sacred Seed.
Thank you for reminding me
that the Universe thrives as I thrive.
Today we grow a new Enchanted Garden,
a renewed Earth!

If all goes to plan, I will stabilize on the home front, and be free to travel in August and September to the National Heirloom Expo.
My Journey will be sponsored by the companies I already have as sponsors and a few others I have in mind.
The last four years a have taken a Journey of Faith to the World's Pure Food Fair in Santa Rosa, CA from San Diego. Called the National Heirloom Expo, this year to be held September 8-10, the event is a lovely agricultural fair with incredible displays of food, animal life, meaningful talks, and displays of special products that are carefully chosen to be in the show.
Not everyone in California can attend and so, seeing myself as representative of the event, I am handing out Blue Ribbons on my travels to foods, products, and people that I feel deserve acknowledgement at this the Pure Food World's Fair.
Another Joy I have, both at the event and in route, in introducing youth and adults to the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection that Epitomizes an inventory of @rRareSeeds in the world
I have great joy introducing the #RareSeeds I meet, by this I mean you and I, to @RareSeeds from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection. I believe that we are intended to return to begin a nation of small scale gardeners, supplemented by foods grown by larger scale organic and biodynamic farmers who have our best interests at heart. I believe the farmer's we support need to be more concerned with producing more nutrition per acre tha profit per acre; and it is a necessity that shoppers recognize that our farmers are a national treasure. The foods they produce need to end up where intended--our stomachs--and every farmer needs to compensated as a act of Fair Trade. Farmers deserve a good livelihood. I would rather pay my farmer than pay my doctor.
Let's begin with the seed.
The Enchanted Garden Mobile's Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds
Open Access to Food for All!
Open Access to Food for All Pollinators,/H2>
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds Starts with Winnng Back Our Individual Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds is an epic enterprise that begins with realizing that Winning Back "Our" Collective Seeds, begins with each of us Winning Back our Own Sacred Seed. Here is some background, and a description of the specific Seed Dreams I have launched that I believe will help restore America The Beautiful!
1.
" This Earth is Ours" so Let's Take Care of Her
My friend, Gurdeep Stephens wrote a book called "This Earth is Ours." It is for this reason that I travel with a Reacher in the EG Mobile, my 68 VW Van, as well as a bucketful of ancient grains of wheat.
Everywhere I go, I want to pick up trash with my reacher. Picking up trash reminds me that "This Earth is Ours" and it is my responsibility to Keep her Clean. Often this task is most difficult at home and in my personal space, where my personality needs often have me overworking and generating thousands of ideas and papers. The attempt to live on a 1/3 acre parcel near San Diego State University as a house manager also means I am constantly called upon to meet not only my needs the needs of others, as well as from time to time filling vacancies in the household. For a long time, I referred to the home where I live as the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community; however, I was likely the only person over the years who held this vision in the same way that I do. Most recently, I am focused on growing an Enchanted Garden Rare Seeds Outpost, based on the idea that here at home, even in a few tended buckets, I can do my part to keep Rare Seeds, that represent multi-cultural diversity in the world alive.
I am always looking to see the unique talents a person brings to our household. Often I am influenced as well by my own baggage and theirs, as I find meaningful moments to Plant my own dreams, and create sacred space.
Agriculture 2015 is in transition
Agriculture 2015 is in transition from large-scale centralized food growers using chemical and unnatural technological methods, such as growing food using Genetically Modified Organisms. Humans may pass laws and make whatever Trade Agreements they imagine they want to ensure profits; however, ultimately Nature's Original Technology says NOT to what international and Corporate Interests feel they need to do. Food Safety and Security ultimately will come down to learning to grow our own food and establish local systems rather than base Food Safety on their needs of a few individuals to continue to make profits and feel safe from activists who might want to control their appetites when all of us, the served and underserved need "Open Access to Food for All! and #Open Access to Food for All Pollinators.
ONE OF MY PLANT YOUR DREAM BUSINESS CARDS
My Biz Card Goes Here. Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener, Plants Seeds of Success for Super Ripe People and Their Dreams
THE FAMOUS EDEN PENCIL. IT IS A COMMENTARY IN MY MIND ON THE VALUE OF MONEY AND THE REAL WEALTH IN SEEDS
I truly believe that our world is being uplifted by the way we spend our dollar. I teach as well that our economic as we know has as much real value as an Eden Pencil made of old dollar bills. The new wealth is in heirloom seeds organically grown, and the knowledge of how to grow our own food by organic principles.
Why are Heirloom Seeds so Important?
Heirloom seeds carry the rich multi-cultural history of the peoples of the earth. Baker Creek. located in Missouri, and its Petaluma Seed Bank. located in an old historic Bank Building, symbolized an emerging trend called the Seed Bank, where local communities will store and develop their own bio-regional seeds.
Baker Creek is geared up to serve the backyard gardener. In my mind, as we plant these seeds, the seeds themselves are blessing us with a wealth and knowledge, teaching us how to live in harmony with our earth. I called our relationship to seeds one of Plant Parenthood, words that I have used for a number of decades. As we parent plants, plants reparent us.
Heirloom Seed represent the cultural integrity of biodiverse culture reigniting. They represent a return to the founding principles of America the Beautiful.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue
In my own Jewish tradition, we speak of the metaphor of the Promised land and hope that one day Eden shall return to the earth. I have named the new Eden, the Enchanted Garden. I am clear that all that stands between us and heaven on earth is enough #RareSeeds finding again their voice with Rare Seeds of heirloom original seeds in hand and ancient grains that have not been hybrid by modern techniques that can contaminate our food supply.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue, a for-sale publication, is for me a Roadmap to Eden. Glancing through the colorful pages is a stunning realization of the world as it has existed and can exist again. The publication is offered in numbers of Whole Foods Markets and online. A free RareSeed Catalogue is also available that can be ordered online. Baker Creek as well puts on an Heirloom Magazine four times a year.
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit and Grow A Necklace for Kids Seeds
My own seed dream is that I will soon have two seed packets added to the Baker Creek line.
The first is based on a Campaign I have called Grow A Healthier Pizza in response to the the state of Pizza described. The second seed is an archetypal seed called Job's Tears.
Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds
The story of Job for me is the seed for these times. We have near lost everything our health and wealth, but we cannot lose faith. I am looking for growers to begin growing out these for the most part ornamental seeds that can be turned into necklaces for kids, i.e, Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds.
Job's Tear seeds come with a hole already running through them. All you have to do is push a thin wire through the hole.
IN SUMMATION, I WANT TO REVIEW SOME OF MY OWN TEACHINGS THAT THEY INSPIRE YOUR ACTIONS
WE WILL COME TO SEE A DAY WHEN FARMING WILL BE WHEREVER POSSIBLE LOCALLY GROWN, ORGANICALLY GROWN, OR BETTER
Farmers are a national treasure. They deserve Fair Trade wages and all the food they grow needs to end up where intended, in the belly of eaters who recognize the therapeutic value of this food and the contribution that local organic farmers are making them. Local Organic Farmers and larger scale organic farmers are leading our nation toward Food Reform and National Health.
Enchanted Garden Club Members prefer to pay their farmer rather than their doctor.
REDEFINING MEDICINE
Doctors, as well, will come to recognize that they are working hand to mouth with local and larger scaled organic farmers as a means of improving national Health Care.
Natural Supplements will continue to be needed as we return to Healthier States of Wellness.
"Medicine" itself has come to a place where it no longer reflects the need of people to invest in Preventive and Self Care. The United States, as a leader in true Democratic Principles embedded in the vision of our nation will return to a healthy respect for Nature and its medicines.
Heroic Measures including surgeries will continue to be needed, yet the foundation of good health is Traditional Medicine as offered for millennium from various cultures.

SUPPORT FOR FAIR TRADE BEGINS WITH YOUR PURCHASING DOLLAR
#CacaoFest 2015 was held on World Fair Trade Day, May 9. Fair Trade begins with our spending dollar. I see a day when the Fair Trade will be acknowledged as the primary label above GMO's. GMO' use Agriculture is Anti-Fair Trade. It is an attempt to beat the natural order. Agriculture is by nature, intensive and labor consuming. Those who produce our food supply need to be treated fairly.
This is why I champion those companies who are Fair Trade aware such as my sponsor Dr.Bronner All One.

CONCLUSIONS
The Story of Job is the Story of These Times. Things are lost. We Can have Faith. Things will come back better than ever! It is the story of Job's Tears, the Seed, the Legend, a Truth for Our Age.
This is the Greeting Card that tells the Story of Job as I Tell it here…
There is a legend told about a man (and this of course applies to woman) who lost all he had. He planted his tears,They grew into Seeds,Seeds of Job's Tears. The Seeds said, Plant Your Dream. He did. His dreams came true. So sow n Tears! Reap in Joy!
Learning to live together means becoming again a nation of heirloom gardeners using sustainable organic methods. It means living Post 911 in a world that cares about our neighbors and seeks out to make friends with those whose path comes in contact with our own.
This is no time to fear our future in spite of what we have personally done to harm and manipulate the weather because we forgot we that the #RareSeed we are is one with the @RareSeeds God and Nature made to inspire our voices along the soul path of doing Random Act of Kindness and growing senseless Acts of beauty.
May i forever see and find coming out of you the beauty I'm you I see the beauty i see in the garden.
Nature has smiles on you to make this world beautiful.
There are so many beautiful #RareSeeds in the world. There are so many Lighting a Single Candle in the Dark and lighting up our Whole World.
Here are a couple of those lovely faces that make we say,
"In You, I see the flowers I love so much in the garden. Nature Has smiled on you to make this world beautiful!'--Leslie Goldman
(Greeting Card #____).
Some are convinced that these are our latter days on earth, and many signs of the times in our stomachs and bowels and kidneys would suggest this, but who among us cannot see a deeper meaning that says each day is precious for us to turn our world into an #EnchantedGarden.
1000 years of peace can begin today for us individually through the legacy we leave in the heart of the next child we inspire to introduce to a fresh piece of sugar cane grown by an Asian farmer we meet at our local farmers market.

The #CampaigntoGrowaHealthierPizza was inspired to ask each person I meet to take their own own sacred #seeddreams out of the box and package and to #PlantYourDream. It was inspired in the knowledge that we can have 1000 years of peace based on inspired individual action and living their lives Intentionally to bring in The Enchanted Garden, a name for our renewed earth.
TAKE AN INTEREST IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, NEIGHBORHOOD, AND NEARBY SCHOOLS
Get to know your Neighbors and Look to them for Support
Look to your neighbors now to share in growing simple foods to be shared as my ally Ron Finley suggests. Study the wisdom of Sacred Seed Keepers who know that wisdom for how to live upon the earth will be personally bestowed to you as you take your own dreams out of the symbolic and literal pizza box and plant your dream!
This is Our Sacred Success Circle at the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost.
I am tending Sacred Seeds Dream here. Who will fill these chairs? Is it you? Do you hear the call, to live here, to visit, to carry forward a visit that we can make friends among our disparate selves, and within our neighborhood?

PROPS TO WHOLE FOODS MARKET
RESPONDING TO A CALL FOR UNITY THAT WER ALL GROW TOGETHER NOW
Walt Robb, Co-Ceo @WholeFoodsMarket inspired my #SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All! and the National Earth Day Weeks Promotion Plant Seeds Protect Pollinators inspired by SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
My own inspiration for Open Access to Food for All 9#OpenAccestoFood for All! ) as well as Open Access to Food for All Pollinators (#OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators ) were BOTH inspired by two projects that came out of @WholeFoodsMarket,
For more than 20 years, I have been part of the Press Corps of the Natural Product Expo West, #ExpoWest , the largest gathering of the natural products Industry. These is the yearly gathering where I see my sponsors face to face and share healing time.
I have been behind the camera witnessing profound generosity from the people that sometimes take the hits from being on the front lines of scale. The word "Scale" I first heard form Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Yogurt. He turned his smaller company over to a larger company so that more of the product could reach more people. The larger company had more access to more people. Often this approach has seemingly backfired when the larger entities are not aligned with the missions of the smaller companies, but I believe that ultimately everything works out for the good.
I have personal examples of friends in corporate positions who are building bridges and their good intentions seep upward.
Many who I have witness at #ExpoWest are same souls who ask questions like "how can we as an industry get healthier food to the underserved?"
Such was a question that @wholefoodsmarket Co-Ceo Walter Robb asked when he brought together some of the powerful and influential voices in the what I call the Cultivating Food Justice movement to The Natural Product Expo March 6. Because of his action, I met Ron Finley, who calls himself a Gangster for Mother Earth;, Will Allen, the famed community food organizer; Robin Emmons of SowMuchGood; and Bishop James Duke, a powerful voice in Chicago who works in a church seting.
Whole Foods Market has taking on a project to remedy the situation of the underserved through organizing a Whole Cities Foundation .

EXCERPT FROM DRAFT OF WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS FOR THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
They receive and give back the bucks to help many, including pollinator.
Later around Earth Day, I was influenced by a promotional campaign where customers who shop were specifically asked to Plant Seeds to Protect Pollinators.
In my San Diego, I began to take special interest in pollinators, specifically Monarch Butterflies through kindling a relationship with our local arboretum, called the Trees for Health Garden in Balboa Park. I saw swarms of Monarch butterflies around a large stand of Milkweed plants. The plants themselves and the butterflies that inhabit them drive home the incredible relationship between plants and pollinators.
FIND AN ARBORETUM WHERE YOU LIVE
Find an arboretum where you live. We have reached a time when Medicine is now defined as something from a bottle. One of my most healing experiences this year, was picking wild Stinging Nettles that are specifics for my own health conditions.
NOTE ON RON FINLEY
I have been deeply inspired by Ron Finley, who called himself a Gangster for Mother Earth when I heard him speak. Out of his desire to grow his own food, entire laws in Los Angels were changed to make food growing more accessible and allowing on city property.
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
In San Diego, we have had friendly laws on the books for numbers of years.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
Planting #Seed Dreams with Enviro-Business Society e3 Members
April 30, 2015. These are our initial goals for Food Reform at SDSU.
Most college campuses are as underserved by real food as those who live in food deserts. Most youth simple do not know what real food is, and this is tragic.
Food Reform will take place in our schools. I want to encourage you to get involved in the schools in your neighborhood.
My own project on campus is geared to my closest Campus, San Diego State University.
WASTE NO WATER
The issue of climate shift will clearly impact the foods we can grow, however, I can only testify to the reality that there are Sacred mystical relationship between our Souls and the Seeds themselves.
Not long ago, around Earth Day, I had some of the Pollinator Seeds from the Whole Foods Campaign blessed at a SDSU Pow Pow. The sky opened and there were light drops as the seeds were blessed. I was calling down the rain.
A few hours later, I was sitting at our Sacred Success Circle waiting for the rain to fall before I put my few blessed seeds in the ground. It was getting cold and dark, and so I got down on my knees and put the seeds in the ground. The second I did, it began to rain.
The message I want to share with you, is please do not wait on your dreams. Plant them now. Their are lead scientists with expertise in Climate who are already grieving the end of the human race as we know it. Study the work of Guy McPherson. It is interesting. I for one, approach the world in a different way that goes beyond science.
I encourage you to Plant Your Dream.
Joining the Enchanted Garden Club & Planting #SeedDreams
Most of the important teachings I share are in pizza boxes affixed to the old recycled pizza box card stock.
Among these teachings are the #sacredSeedPrayer that you will find in The Light Connection article I wrote last summer. I want to send the words of the Enchanted Garden Membership your way now.
Oh, patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
I accept your fulfillment as a by-product
of my own fertile deep dreams flowering.
Remind me that all natural things
on earth grow from seeds.
Open in me the wisdom
contained in a tiny seed that I might too experience
how dreams grow naturally.
The Enchanted Garden,
a name for the new Earth
growing through me, starts here and now!

The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza. Win Back Our Sacred Seeds was inspired by Congress under the influence of Archetypal Commercial Interests that have been influencing government for more than 100 years to make decisions that are out of sync with the Public Good.
I have written a number of #PlantYourDreamBlogs that are intended for an Online book, "The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza."

INTRODUCTION
THE PROJECT BEGINS --FOOD ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL
Leslie Plants #OpenAccess with Ron Finley at #expoWest
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
#RonFinley was a 2015 San Diego State University #Greenfest speaker. I heard him just around the same time at #expowest.
Expo west, The natural products expo west is a yearly event in nearby Anaheim where the top organic and natural food entrepreneurs gather to network and do business each year with their industry. I see #expowest as soon important place for #e3 Cream of the crop @RareSeed future sustainability, and marketing entrepreneurs and more society shifters to interact with potential future employers. I plan to facilitate some of these interactions.
#OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL TAKES ROOT AT SDSU
Because I live within walking distance of the more than 35,000 student population and because of my long time witness of the #e3 club on campus, investing my positive energy to uplift students is a natural fit for my #openaccesstofood for all and my #open access to food for all pollinators projects.
This August and September I plan to be on the road toward the national heirloom expo and beyond. My current need is to stabilize my home environment. I'm finding that contact with the student #E3 members, Numbers who are inviting participation here at the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost is a natural fit.
I spoke and gave an inspired message that was at last #e3 meeting of the semester April 29. I followed up with doing research with the current status of the #SDSU farmers market and current on campus meal plan offerings with up and coming student leader Drew, #e3 member. We made some videos and took photos that are part of this Facebook album. I have been having incredible inspired adventures in recent weeks informing me that now is the time to dads many #seeddreams.
Bridget Rickman Took Notes on Seed Dreams for SDSU
These are photos from my interactions with these @ rareSeeds #E3 members. The future of our Earth it's in their hands. As Leslie Goldman, Your enchanted Gardener I will invite nature and life itself, and my sponsors toextend life forces toward the fulfillment of these #Seeddreams
These include:
1. Plant milkweed
Food for pollinators on campus . Just one milkweed plant to get it going.
2. Improve campus meal plan
begin this Weekend with inviting BrBridget Rickmanridget and Drew to Hillcrest Farmer's market this Sunday to pick out some organic food and get the idea.
Suggest #e3 make contact with University of Redlands. Students there have access to organic food served in the cafeteria and a garden nearby where students work and sell food to the kitchen.
3. SDSU, healthier food options in the meal plan. Fresh food less fast food as a choice.
Have students do research on products and their effects on health. Raising awareness about healthier food and why making healthier food choices is important.
4. More organic foods in the meal plan.
5. Healthier food options including Ancient non GMO Organic wheat at Oggis pizza on campus.
Note: I already met the manager here. He is used to doing special organic pizza dough at the request of Glen.
6. Farmers market improvements
More farmers with fresh vegetables and fruit.
There is a SDSU Farmers market on campus from 10 to 3 many Thursdays during the school year.
Begin with #e3 's having fresh strawberries from #J.R. Organics CSA
Quick and easy organic snacks presented by #e3.
The trip to Hillcrest Farmer's market, this Sunday.
Get donated gift items from natural products #expowest — in San Diego, CA.

#PlantYourDream is the key to bringing in 1000 years piece for our world. We either live in a world created by someone else's dream or a world that is uplifted through the dreams we plan to ourselves that our soul inspired.
This is Monique. Planting her dreams at our #SacredSeedOutpost that #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost that aims to become an #EnchantedGardenIntentionalCommunity . The enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth. It grows one @RareSeed at a time as we age when back our sacred seeds. Sacred seed is a metaphor as well as a literal heirloom original seed grown out by organic sustainable methods. When I use the word @RareSeeds I am making reference to our collective identity as being individual sacred seeds as human beings. I'm also making reference to Baker Creek heirloom seed company Who uses that #. Jere Gettle, the founder, is archetypal to me of the thousands of individual #RareSeeds Who have found their soul expressions, their Voice through personal and individual #FoodReform.
My umbrella #Campaigns #EnchantedGarden campaigns for 2015 include. #WinningBack OurSacredSeeds and #TheEnchantedGarden MobilesJouneyto WinBackOurSacredSeeds
#Open access to food for all and open access to food for all pollinators. And open access to food for SDSU students are among current #PkantYourDreamBlogs.
I also take great joy in working with local farmers and their families and employees at my local farmers market's. #The come back of JoetheFarmer
Literal reference to uplifting the fifth generation Rodriguez Family as well as seen the archetype of #Joe thefarmer as The plight of every local organic farmer striving today to value and balance providing nutrition per acre as well as sustainable profit per acre.
I'm constantly looking for to #CultivateFoodJustice
Working with the local #hope restored Swahili speaking community located on grounds of the #HillcrestFarmerMarket also excites me..

CEREMONY WORK AT #CACAO FEST MAY 9, 2015
Added May 13, 2015
This was my display at the Opening Ceremony of #CacaoFest 2015 May 9, 2015. The water bottle was filled with the #CacaoFestRain that fell miraculously the day before. I felt the rain was a Blessing from Nature that was smiling on this event that was calling attention to the Indigenous people who stand behind #fortheloveofchocolate a theme of #CacaoFest 2015.
Other Ceremonial objects in this photo included two posters from Dr. Bronner's ALL-ONE love philosophy, a basket of Job's Tears Seed Packets, two pots of #SeedDreams that were used through the day with the invite to #PlantYourDream, and a basket of aged @RareSeeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company via the Petaluma Seed Bank and Paul Wallace the Aged seed were given as gifts to the Danza Dancers and its leader Alejandro Meraz Chichiltekolotl There is also a Milkweed Plant in this picture and Organic Sunflower Seeds from Whole Foods Market Hillcrest and their #PartyforthePollinators Earth weeks campaign initiated nationally by @Wholefoodsmarket

The Earth is Ours
We need a Reorientation to life.
This Earth is Ours. It belongs to all of us.
We are all growing in the same pot, that is one of my Enchanted Garden Teachings. I am interesting in the causes of how we got to this place. Let's ask those who are taking up too much space in the single pot where we all grow to take less place, and for those who need to be represented to have their own fair share of space.
The Problem with GMOs is that many who are investing in this core idea have lost their moral compass. Profit has superseded the fundamental principle that we are all growing in the same pot.
I am convinced that many who are following the path of Biotech well meaning people, and yet it is time that GMO lovers and organic lovers talk if our Growing in ALL ONe pot is to not only "Survive This Day" but thrive.
Being the Rare Seed you are, taking your dream out of the pizza box, out of the silver box is a step in the right direction.
The March Against Monsanto and Outgrowing GMOs Through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
The March Against Monsanto is a growing movement that i support> I believe Monsanto is being asked by nature herself to stop it! The high cost of going this way gives profits but bears the fruit of bad hunan health and plagues upon us.
Nature always wins. An organic uprising within Rare Seeds wi;; prevail, and the number of actually @rareSeeds growing will prevail because this is the moral and ethical thing to do.
Monsanto is indicative of making war against nature.
This is a lost cause.
People will learn to feed themselves.

These documents have put many on the path to knowing the seeds they want to plant. Most people already know when I ask them to pull their dreams out of the Box I carry.
The March toward Being the Rare Seed you are
I am not against Marching Against Monsanto. For one it brings those of us together who need to come together, together, Marching does ask people to ask questions who have still not even heard of GMOs; yet, I want to give you here some Tips for Outgrowing GMOs based on Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds,. Then I want to reflect briefly on some of the Rare Seeds who have inspired my own life and work in the last numbers of years.
OUTTAKES
SACRED SEED, SACRED PLANT!
The Sacred Seed Prayer is another central pillar of my work.
I read "Sacred Seed! Sacred Plant" in my talk at #MAM San Diego. Those present received these words:
Sacred Seed, Sacred Plant!
I hold you in my hands,
and I hold you as my future.
Thank you for representing the wishes
I am planting.
As you grow, so will my Seed Dreams.
Growing you will help me
celebrate the harvest in my life.
Thank you for reminding me
I am a Sacred Seed.
Thank you for reminding me
that the Universe thrives as I thrive.
Today we grow a new Enchanted Garden,
a renewed Earth!

Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds Starts with Winnng Back Our Individual Sacred Seeds
Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds is an epic enterprise that begins with realizing that Winning Back "Our" Collective Seeds, begins with each of us Winning Back our Own Sacred Seed. Here is some background, and a description of the specific Seed Dreams I have launched that I believe will help restore America The Beautiful!
1.
" This Earth is Ours" so Let's Take Care of Her
My friend, Gurdeep Stephens wrote a book called "This Earth is Ours." It is for this reason that I travel with a Reacher in the EG Mobile, my 68 VW Van, as well as a bucketful of ancient grains of wheat.
Everywhere I go, I want to pick up trash with my reacher. Picking up trash reminds me that "This Earth is Ours" and it is my responsibility to Keep her Clean. Often this task is most difficult at home and in my personal space, where my personality needs often have me overworking and generating thousands of ideas and papers. The attempt to live on a 1/3 acre parcel near San Diego State University as a house manager also means I am constantly called upon to meet not only my needs the needs of others, as well as from time to time filling vacancies in the household. For a long time, I referred to the home where I live as the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community; however, I was likely the only person over the years who held this vision in the same way that I do. Most recently, I am focused on growing an Enchanted Garden Rare Seeds Outpost, based on the idea that here at home, even in a few tended buckets, I can do my part to keep Rare Seeds, that represent multi-cultural diversity in the world alive.
I am always looking to see the unique talents a person brings to our household. Often I am influenced as well by my own baggage and theirs, as I find meaningful moments to Plant my own dreams, and create sacred space.
Agriculture 2015 is in transition
Agriculture 2015 is in transition from large-scale centralized food growers using chemical and unnatural technological methods, such as growing food using Genetically Modified Organisms. Humans may pass laws and make whatever Trade Agreements they imagine they want to ensure profits; however, ultimately Nature's Original Technology says NOT to what international and Corporate Interests feel they need to do. Food Safety and Security ultimately will come down to learning to grow our own food and establish local systems rather than base Food Safety on their needs of a few individuals to continue to make profits and feel safe from activists who might want to control their appetites when all of us, the served and underserved need "Open Access to Food for All! and #Open Access to Food for All Pollinators.
ONE OF MY PLANT YOUR DREAM BUSINESS CARDS
My Biz Card Goes Here. Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener, Plants Seeds of Success for Super Ripe People and Their Dreams
THE FAMOUS EDEN PENCIL. IT IS A COMMENTARY IN MY MIND ON THE VALUE OF MONEY AND THE REAL WEALTH IN SEEDS
I truly believe that our world is being uplifted by the way we spend our dollar. I teach as well that our economic as we know has as much real value as an Eden Pencil made of old dollar bills. The new wealth is in heirloom seeds organically grown, and the knowledge of how to grow our own food by organic principles.
Why are Heirloom Seeds so Important?
Heirloom seeds carry the rich multi-cultural history of the peoples of the earth. Baker Creek. located in Missouri, and its Petaluma Seed Bank. located in an old historic Bank Building, symbolized an emerging trend called the Seed Bank, where local communities will store and develop their own bio-regional seeds.
Baker Creek is geared up to serve the backyard gardener. In my mind, as we plant these seeds, the seeds themselves are blessing us with a wealth and knowledge, teaching us how to live in harmony with our earth. I called our relationship to seeds one of Plant Parenthood, words that I have used for a number of decades. As we parent plants, plants reparent us.
Heirloom Seed represent the cultural integrity of biodiverse culture reigniting. They represent a return to the founding principles of America the Beautiful.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue
In my own Jewish tradition, we speak of the metaphor of the Promised land and hope that one day Eden shall return to the earth. I have named the new Eden, the Enchanted Garden. I am clear that all that stands between us and heaven on earth is enough #RareSeeds finding again their voice with Rare Seeds of heirloom original seeds in hand and ancient grains that have not been hybrid by modern techniques that can contaminate our food supply.
The Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalogue, a for-sale publication, is for me a Roadmap to Eden. Glancing through the colorful pages is a stunning realization of the world as it has existed and can exist again. The publication is offered in numbers of Whole Foods Markets and online. A free RareSeed Catalogue is also available that can be ordered online. Baker Creek as well puts on an Heirloom Magazine four times a year.
The Grow A Healthier Pizza Starter Kit and Grow A Necklace for Kids Seeds
My own seed dream is that I will soon have two seed packets added to the Baker Creek line.
The first is based on a Campaign I have called Grow A Healthier Pizza in response to the the state of Pizza described. The second seed is an archetypal seed called Job's Tears.
Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds
The story of Job for me is the seed for these times. We have near lost everything our health and wealth, but we cannot lose faith. I am looking for growers to begin growing out these for the most part ornamental seeds that can be turned into necklaces for kids, i.e, Enchanted Garden Bead Seeds.
Job's Tear seeds come with a hole already running through them. All you have to do is push a thin wire through the hole.
IN SUMMATION, I WANT TO REVIEW SOME OF MY OWN TEACHINGS THAT THEY INSPIRE YOUR ACTIONS
WE WILL COME TO SEE A DAY WHEN FARMING WILL BE WHEREVER POSSIBLE LOCALLY GROWN, ORGANICALLY GROWN, OR BETTER
Farmers are a national treasure. They deserve Fair Trade wages and all the food they grow needs to end up where intended, in the belly of eaters who recognize the therapeutic value of this food and the contribution that local organic farmers are making them. Local Organic Farmers and larger scale organic farmers are leading our nation toward Food Reform and National Health.
Enchanted Garden Club Members prefer to pay their farmer rather than their doctor.
REDEFINING MEDICINE
Doctors, as well, will come to recognize that they are working hand to mouth with local and larger scaled organic farmers as a means of improving national Health Care.
Natural Supplements will continue to be needed as we return to Healthier States of Wellness.
"Medicine" itself has come to a place where it no longer reflects the need of people to invest in Preventive and Self Care. The United States, as a leader in true Democratic Principles embedded in the vision of our nation will return to a healthy respect for Nature and its medicines.
Heroic Measures including surgeries will continue to be needed, yet the foundation of good health is Traditional Medicine as offered for millennium from various cultures.

SUPPORT FOR FAIR TRADE BEGINS WITH YOUR PURCHASING DOLLAR
#CacaoFest 2015 was held on World Fair Trade Day, May 9. Fair Trade begins with our spending dollar. I see a day when the Fair Trade will be acknowledged as the primary label above GMO's. GMO' use Agriculture is Anti-Fair Trade. It is an attempt to beat the natural order. Agriculture is by nature, intensive and labor consuming. Those who produce our food supply need to be treated fairly.
This is why I champion those companies who are Fair Trade aware such as my sponsor Dr.Bronner All One.

CONCLUSIONS
The Story of Job is the Story of These Times. Things are lost. We Can have Faith. Things will come back better than ever! It is the story of Job's Tears, the Seed, the Legend, a Truth for Our Age.
This is the Greeting Card that tells the Story of Job as I Tell it here…
There is a legend told about a man (and this of course applies to woman) who lost all he had. He planted his tears,They grew into Seeds,Seeds of Job's Tears. The Seeds said, Plant Your Dream. He did. His dreams came true. So sow n Tears! Reap in Joy!
Learning to live together means becoming again a nation of heirloom gardeners using sustainable organic methods. It means living Post 911 in a world that cares about our neighbors and seeks out to make friends with those whose path comes in contact with our own.
This is no time to fear our future in spite of what we have personally done to harm and manipulate the weather because we forgot we that the #RareSeed we are is one with the @RareSeeds God and Nature made to inspire our voices along the soul path of doing Random Act of Kindness and growing senseless Acts of beauty.
May i forever see and find coming out of you the beauty I'm you I see the beauty i see in the garden.
Nature has smiles on you to make this world beautiful.
There are so many beautiful #RareSeeds in the world. There are so many Lighting a Single Candle in the Dark and lighting up our Whole World.
Here are a couple of those lovely faces that make we say,
"In You, I see the flowers I love so much in the garden. Nature Has smiled on you to make this world beautiful!'--Leslie Goldman
(Greeting Card #____).
Some are convinced that these are our latter days on earth, and many signs of the times in our stomachs and bowels and kidneys would suggest this, but who among us cannot see a deeper meaning that says each day is precious for us to turn our world into an #EnchantedGarden.
1000 years of peace can begin today for us individually through the legacy we leave in the heart of the next child we inspire to introduce to a fresh piece of sugar cane grown by an Asian farmer we meet at our local farmers market.

The #CampaigntoGrowaHealthierPizza was inspired to ask each person I meet to take their own own sacred #seeddreams out of the box and package and to #PlantYourDream. It was inspired in the knowledge that we can have 1000 years of peace based on inspired individual action and living their lives Intentionally to bring in The Enchanted Garden, a name for our renewed earth.
TAKE AN INTEREST IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, NEIGHBORHOOD, AND NEARBY SCHOOLS
Get to know your Neighbors and Look to them for Support
Look to your neighbors now to share in growing simple foods to be shared as my ally Ron Finley suggests. Study the wisdom of Sacred Seed Keepers who know that wisdom for how to live upon the earth will be personally bestowed to you as you take your own dreams out of the symbolic and literal pizza box and plant your dream!
This is Our Sacred Success Circle at the Enchanted Garden Rare Seed Outpost.
I am tending Sacred Seeds Dream here. Who will fill these chairs? Is it you? Do you hear the call, to live here, to visit, to carry forward a visit that we can make friends among our disparate selves, and within our neighborhood?

PROPS TO WHOLE FOODS MARKET
RESPONDING TO A CALL FOR UNITY THAT WER ALL GROW TOGETHER NOW
Walt Robb, Co-Ceo @WholeFoodsMarket inspired my #SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All! and the National Earth Day Weeks Promotion Plant Seeds Protect Pollinators inspired by SeedDream #OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators
My own inspiration for Open Access to Food for All 9#OpenAccestoFood for All! ) as well as Open Access to Food for All Pollinators (#OpenAccesstoFood for All Pollinators ) were BOTH inspired by two projects that came out of @WholeFoodsMarket,
For more than 20 years, I have been part of the Press Corps of the Natural Product Expo West, #ExpoWest , the largest gathering of the natural products Industry. These is the yearly gathering where I see my sponsors face to face and share healing time.
I have been behind the camera witnessing profound generosity from the people that sometimes take the hits from being on the front lines of scale. The word "Scale" I first heard form Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Yogurt. He turned his smaller company over to a larger company so that more of the product could reach more people. The larger company had more access to more people. Often this approach has seemingly backfired when the larger entities are not aligned with the missions of the smaller companies, but I believe that ultimately everything works out for the good.
I have personal examples of friends in corporate positions who are building bridges and their good intentions seep upward.
Many who I have witness at #ExpoWest are same souls who ask questions like "how can we as an industry get healthier food to the underserved?"
Such was a question that @wholefoodsmarket Co-Ceo Walter Robb asked when he brought together some of the powerful and influential voices in the what I call the Cultivating Food Justice movement to The Natural Product Expo March 6. Because of his action, I met Ron Finley, who calls himself a Gangster for Mother Earth;, Will Allen, the famed community food organizer; Robin Emmons of SowMuchGood; and Bishop James Duke, a powerful voice in Chicago who works in a church seting.
Whole Foods Market has taking on a project to remedy the situation of the underserved through organizing a Whole Cities Foundation .

EXCERPT FROM DRAFT OF WINNING BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS FOR THE LIFE CONNECTION MAGAZINE
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
They receive and give back the bucks to help many, including pollinator.
Later around Earth Day, I was influenced by a promotional campaign where customers who shop were specifically asked to Plant Seeds to Protect Pollinators.
In my San Diego, I began to take special interest in pollinators, specifically Monarch Butterflies through kindling a relationship with our local arboretum, called the Trees for Health Garden in Balboa Park. I saw swarms of Monarch butterflies around a large stand of Milkweed plants. The plants themselves and the butterflies that inhabit them drive home the incredible relationship between plants and pollinators.
FIND AN ARBORETUM WHERE YOU LIVE
Find an arboretum where you live. We have reached a time when Medicine is now defined as something from a bottle. One of my most healing experiences this year, was picking wild Stinging Nettles that are specifics for my own health conditions.
NOTE ON RON FINLEY
I have been deeply inspired by Ron Finley, who called himself a Gangster for Mother Earth when I heard him speak. Out of his desire to grow his own food, entire laws in Los Angels were changed to make food growing more accessible and allowing on city property.
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
In San Diego, we have had friendly laws on the books for numbers of years.
OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS
http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2250913
Planting #Seed Dreams with Enviro-Business Society e3 Members
April 30, 2015. These are our initial goals for Food Reform at SDSU.
Most college campuses are as underserved by real food as those who live in food deserts. Most youth simple do not know what real food is, and this is tragic.
Food Reform will take place in our schools. I want to encourage you to get involved in the schools in your neighborhood.
My own project on campus is geared to my closest Campus, San Diego State University.
WASTE NO WATER
The issue of climate shift will clearly impact the foods we can grow, however, I can only testify to the reality that there are Sacred mystical relationship between our Souls and the Seeds themselves.
Not long ago, around Earth Day, I had some of the Pollinator Seeds from the Whole Foods Campaign blessed at a SDSU Pow Pow. The sky opened and there were light drops as the seeds were blessed. I was calling down the rain.
A few hours later, I was sitting at our Sacred Success Circle waiting for the rain to fall before I put my few blessed seeds in the ground. It was getting cold and dark, and so I got down on my knees and put the seeds in the ground. The second I did, it began to rain.
The message I want to share with you, is please do not wait on your dreams. Plant them now. Their are lead scientists with expertise in Climate who are already grieving the end of the human race as we know it. Study the work of Guy McPherson. It is interesting. I for one, approach the world in a different way that goes beyond science.
I encourage you to Plant Your Dream.
Joining the Enchanted Garden Club & Planting #SeedDreams
Most of the important teachings I share are in pizza boxes affixed to the old recycled pizza box card stock.
Among these teachings are the #sacredSeedPrayer that you will find in The Light Connection article I wrote last summer. I want to send the words of the Enchanted Garden Membership your way now.
Oh, patient Mother Earth,
let us walk together more closely.
I accept your fulfillment as a by-product
of my own fertile deep dreams flowering.
Remind me that all natural things
on earth grow from seeds.
Open in me the wisdom
contained in a tiny seed that I might too experience
how dreams grow naturally.
The Enchanted Garden,
a name for the new Earth
growing through me, starts here and now!

Starting to develop my article Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds for #TheLifeConnection Magazine The Life Connection Magazine
The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza. Win Back Our Sacred Seeds was inspired by Congress under the influence of Archetypal Commercial Interests that have been influencing government for more than 100 years to make decisions that are out of sync with the Public Good.
I have written a number of #PlantYourDreamBlogs that are intended for an Online book, "The Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza."
I was already involved in Growing a Healthier Pizza at the time I heard Deborah Szekely of Wellness Warrior outraged and speaking against the "Pizza as a Vegetable" sellout of our school age children.

May 6 entry government cheating on us
I just finished a really powerful section of my story for the life connection, it's all about how our government has been cheating on us for more than 100 years. I'm not so much interested in our past history as a future history. I'm clear that because of my @RareSeeds #EnchantedGardenMobilesJourneytIWinbackoursacredseeds, More and more #rareseeds, and I mean you, will come to understand what it will take to plant 1000 years of @RareSeeds #EnchantedGardenMobilesJourneytoWinBackOurSacredSeeds #GardenManagementJournal @Evoxtelevision #PartyforthePollinators @wholeFoodsMarket

INTRODUCTION
THE PROJECT BEGINS --FOOD ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL
Leslie Plants #OpenAccess with Ron Finley at #expoWest
#RonFinley, who calls himself a gangster for mother Earth has helped shift laws in Los Angeles through planting organic food in his neighborhood of south-central Los Angeles. I planted #seeddreams with #RonFinley when we met at a food access session organized by @wholefoodmarket co-CEO #WalterRobb. #RonFinley says more people die from unhealthy drive through Fast food places in underserved food areas then die from drive-by shootings.
#RonFinley was a 2015 San Diego State University #Greenfest speaker. I heard him just around the same time at #expowest.
Expo west, The natural products expo west is a yearly event in nearby Anaheim where the top organic and natural food entrepreneurs gather to network and do business each year with their industry. I see #expowest as soon important place for #e3 Cream of the crop @RareSeed future sustainability, and marketing entrepreneurs and more society shifters to interact with potential future employers. I plan to facilitate some of these interactions.
#OPEN ACCESS TO FOOD FOR ALL TAKES ROOT AT SDSU
Because I live within walking distance of the more than 35,000 student population and because of my long time witness of the #e3 club on campus, investing my positive energy to uplift students is a natural fit for my #openaccesstofood for all and my #open access to food for all pollinators projects.
This August and September I plan to be on the road toward the national heirloom expo and beyond. My current need is to stabilize my home environment. I'm finding that contact with the student #E3 members, Numbers who are inviting participation here at the #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost is a natural fit.
I spoke and gave an inspired message that was at last #e3 meeting of the semester April 29. I followed up with doing research with the current status of the #SDSU farmers market and current on campus meal plan offerings with up and coming student leader Drew, #e3 member. We made some videos and took photos that are part of this Facebook album. I have been having incredible inspired adventures in recent weeks informing me that now is the time to dads many #seeddreams.
Bridget Rickman Took Notes on Seed Dreams for SDSU
These are photos from my interactions with these @ rareSeeds #E3 members. The future of our Earth it's in their hands. As Leslie Goldman, Your enchanted Gardener I will invite nature and life itself, and my sponsors toextend life forces toward the fulfillment of these #Seeddreams
These include:
1. Plant milkweed
Food for pollinators on campus . Just one milkweed plant to get it going.
2. Improve campus meal plan
begin this Weekend with inviting BrBridget Rickmanridget and Drew to Hillcrest Farmer's market this Sunday to pick out some organic food and get the idea.
Suggest #e3 make contact with University of Redlands. Students there have access to organic food served in the cafeteria and a garden nearby where students work and sell food to the kitchen.
3. SDSU, healthier food options in the meal plan. Fresh food less fast food as a choice.
Have students do research on products and their effects on health. Raising awareness about healthier food and why making healthier food choices is important.
4. More organic foods in the meal plan.
5. Healthier food options including Ancient non GMO Organic wheat at Oggis pizza on campus.
Note: I already met the manager here. He is used to doing special organic pizza dough at the request of Glen.
6. Farmers market improvements
More farmers with fresh vegetables and fruit.
There is a SDSU Farmers market on campus from 10 to 3 many Thursdays during the school year.
Begin with #e3 's having fresh strawberries from #J.R. Organics CSA
Quick and easy organic snacks presented by #e3.
The trip to Hillcrest Farmer's market, this Sunday.
Get donated gift items from natural products #expowest — in San Diego, CA.

#PlantYourDream is the key to bringing in 1000 years piece for our world. We either live in a world created by someone else's dream or a world that is uplifted through the dreams we plan to ourselves that our soul inspired.
This is Monique. Planting her dreams at our #SacredSeedOutpost that #EnchantedGardenRareSeedsOutpost that aims to become an #EnchantedGardenIntentionalCommunity . The enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth. It grows one @RareSeed at a time as we age when back our sacred seeds. Sacred seed is a metaphor as well as a literal heirloom original seed grown out by organic sustainable methods. When I use the word @RareSeeds I am making reference to our collective identity as being individual sacred seeds as human beings. I'm also making reference to Baker Creek heirloom seed company Who uses that #. Jere Gettle, the founder, is archetypal to me of the thousands of individual #RareSeeds Who have found their soul expressions, their Voice through personal and individual #FoodReform.
My umbrella #Campaigns #EnchantedGarden campaigns for 2015 include. #WinningBack OurSacredSeeds and #TheEnchantedGarden MobilesJouneyto WinBackOurSacredSeeds
#Open access to food for all and open access to food for all pollinators. And open access to food for SDSU students are among current #PkantYourDreamBlogs.
I also take great joy in working with local farmers and their families and employees at my local farmers market's. #The come back of JoetheFarmer
Literal reference to uplifting the fifth generation Rodriguez Family as well as seen the archetype of #Joe thefarmer as The plight of every local organic farmer striving today to value and balance providing nutrition per acre as well as sustainable profit per acre.
I'm constantly looking for to #CultivateFoodJustice
Working with the local #hope restored Swahili speaking community located on grounds of the #HillcrestFarmerMarket also excites me..

CEREMONY WORK AT #CACAO FEST MAY 9, 2015
Added May 13, 2015
This was my display at the Opening Ceremony of #CacaoFest 2015 May 9, 2015. The water bottle was filled with the #CacaoFestRain that fell miraculously the day before. I felt the rain was a Blessing from Nature that was smiling on this event that was calling attention to the Indigenous people who stand behind #fortheloveofchocolate a theme of #CacaoFest 2015.
Other Ceremonial objects in this photo included two posters from Dr. Bronner's ALL-ONE love philosophy, a basket of Job's Tears Seed Packets, two pots of #SeedDreams that were used through the day with the invite to #PlantYourDream, and a basket of aged @RareSeeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company via the Petaluma Seed Bank and Paul Wallace the Aged seed were given as gifts to the Danza Dancers and its leader Alejandro Meraz Chichiltekolotl There is also a Milkweed Plant in this picture and Organic Sunflower Seeds from Whole Foods Market Hillcrest and their #PartyforthePollinators Earth weeks campaign initiated nationally by @Wholefoodsmarket

The Earth is Ours
We need a Reorientation to life.
This Earth is Ours. It belongs to all of us.
We are all growing in the same pot, that is one of my Enchanted Garden Teachings. I am interesting in the causes of how we got to this place. Let's ask those who are taking up too much space in the single pot where we all grow to take less place, and for those who need to be represented to have their own fair share of space.
The Problem with GMOs is that many who are investing in this core idea have lost their moral compass. Profit has superseded the fundamental principle that we are all growing in the same pot.
I am convinced that many who are following the path of Biotech well meaning people, and yet it is time that GMO lovers and organic lovers talk if our Growing in ALL ONe pot is to not only "Survive This Day" but thrive.
Being the Rare Seed you are, taking your dream out of the pizza box, out of the silver box is a step in the right direction.
The March Against Monsanto and Outgrowing GMOs Through Winning Back Our Sacred Seeds
The March Against Monsanto is a growing movement that i support> I believe Monsanto is being asked by nature herself to stop it! The high cost of going this way gives profits but bears the fruit of bad hunan health and plagues upon us.
Nature always wins. An organic uprising within Rare Seeds wi;; prevail, and the number of actually @rareSeeds growing will prevail because this is the moral and ethical thing to do.
Monsanto is indicative of making war against nature.
This is a lost cause.
People will learn to feed themselves.
