Hosted by J. Rivkah Asoulin, Chava Dagan and Gilla Weiss, ARM: Roots, Nettles and Sage seeks to bridge the gap between the oral traditions of our ancient ancestors and our intuition and understanding of today.
We explore a wide range of topics about parenting ourselves, and our children, from a self-sufficient, off-the-grid, natural, intuition and evidence “Bina Based,” paradigm.
ARM: Roots, Nettles and Sage offers a free monthly seminar podcast in collaboration with the Root and Branch Association, LTD. Please register to join us here. The ARM ladies may also be available to speak in-person for international events and can be reached at: info@ancientrootsisrael.com
