What’s Blooming Landscape Tour
O Christie Green
n Friday, June 15 at 11 a.m., the Academy for the Love of Learning will host a one-hour “What’s Bloom- ing?” tour at their campus in Seton Village. The tour celebrates the fruition
of plantings from the program’s first growing season. There will be an informal sack lunch and discussion with land- scape designer, Christie Green, following the tour. Along with Green, the Academy has developed the Learning Landscape—an innovative approach to land stewardship that acts as a tribute to Seton while also in- corporating the Academy’s own principles of observation, reflection and awakening. The Learning Landscape takes care of nature by allowing nature to take care of itself. The Learning Landscape is a living tribute to Ernest
Thompson Seton, the visionary naturalist whose home and land the Academy for the Love of Learning began stew- arding in 2003. The Academy, whose campus is built on the grounds of Seton’s former home in Seton Village, just outside of Santa Fe, recently received the 2012 Sustainable Santa Fe Award for Water Conservation.
Cost: Suggested donation $10. Tour is followed by a one hour optional lunch discussion. (Bring a sack lunch). Location: 133 Seton Village Road. Space is limited. RSVP to Marissa Roybal at 505-995-1860 or programs@

New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts Launches Reflexology Program
T
he New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts, Santa
Fe is pleased to offer a 150- hour reflexology certification program beginning June 23. The program is taught by Jim Williams, MAR (Member of the Association of Reflexologists). In 2009, Jim developed the 150-hour reflexology certifica- tion program, which is taught in 6 Levels. The majority of graduates from this program now practice in a number of different states. According to Williams, “Reflexology is the application of pressure to points on the hands and feet that have been identified to correspond to different organs or body parts. However, reflexology is not limited to treating the physical symptoms, and is a holistic therapy, which works on all levels, whether they are emotional, mental or physical.”
6 Northern & Central New Mexico
Reflexology does not promise to be a “cure all,” nor does it attempt to diagnose. It is a safe, non-invasive treat- ment, which restores balance to the body, and is both preventative and detoxifying. Reflexology is for all ages, and there are very few contraindications. “Reflexology is now gaining popularity, nationwide, and is becoming a viable career-choice despite these economic times,” says Williams. “The 150-hour reflexology certification program, with
its low tuition and flexible training schedule, attracts a va- riety of students from all over The States who are seeking a new career in the health field that is fulfilling and provides a healthy income,” adds Williams.

Ojo Caliente Introduces Line of Body Care Products
O
jo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa has re- cently introduced its natural and organic signature body care line featuring nine products of custom- blended scents of either Desert Rain or Desert Sage. Derived from pure essential oils and wild- crafted herbs and plants indigenous to Northern New Mexico, the products are paraben-free, sulfate-free, are not tested on animals, and are free of toxic and synthetic chemical ingredients. The body creams are particularly beneficial for dry skin, and are available in the resort gift shop and web store. Products include shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body cream. The star ingredient is mica in the Mica Crème, a glittery mineral harvested from the Mica Caves at Ojo. Native Americans were known to crush the mica and adorn their bodies with the sparkling chips for sacred ceremony. Mica acts as a crystan and creates a barrier to protect the skin while magnifying and reflecting light. “The Oho Signature Body care line was developed to complement the many natural elements that are part of Ojo, including the sacred waters and treasured land. It was our intention to capture a ‘sense of place’ by using native plants unique to Ojo and the high desert of Northern New Mexico,” says Jen Scott, resort owner.
Cost: prices range from $17 to $40. A full list of formulated ingredients of each product may be found at
OjoSpa.com. Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa is located about 45 minutes north of Santa Fe.
