It was on Saturday, as the first speakers were taking their turns on the podium. Crowds of people were still coalescing. The density of the crowd was something I’ve hardly ever experienced.

Stay warm in the cold weather with a warming chili recipe from Ruscombe practitioner Paula Derry, Ph.D., LMT.

Meet Chef Zion! “I am a dedicated culinary student with a deep love for farm to table cuisine. I love to forage, commune with my friends and neighbors, and celebrate life through the exchange of culture and love.

“My culinary journey began by creating low-cost meals for my siblings as our parents worked to provide for us. Paired with a love, an ancestral connection to farming, and several years in restaurants and cafe management, my cooking style emerges at the brilliant intersection between farming and culinary exploration. I am honored to offer farm fresh and nutritious lunch and meal prep services to the Ruscombe and Coldspring community.

“I am on a mission to reignite a passion for food education, culinary life skills, and bodily sovereignty into the lives of all Baltimore neighbors. I hope you’ll join me, and my collaborating chefs, at Ruscombe Community Health Center on for lunch from 11-3.”

Testimonials

Another "thank you" from event host and acupuncturist Diana Keener:
Thank you all so much for your help with the Qi Gong retreat this past weekend. It was an intensively dynamic and deeply restorative experience for all who came, and we were full to capacity. I am really honored to be able to host such a great teacher in this wonderful place and it would not be possible to do so without all the logistical and energetic support that the community and the property offers.
