What happened to Christine Walters?

Christine Walters, a 23 year old botany and ethnobotany student at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, set out for a trip to Portland, Oregon to visit a friend during the summer of 2008. She wouldn’t return home to Wisconsin, and in fact, would never be found. Christine, along with 4 other missing women that have been labeled “The Humboldt Five,” would vanish in California’s Emerald Triangle: an area in the northern part of the state famous for growing marijuana.

What was originally supposed to be a two week trip to Oregon turned into a more permanent move for Christine, who decided to take a leave from her studies at the University of Wisconsin and remain on the west coast. She moved to Humboldt County, CA in September 2008. There is very little information about Christine’s life in California; however, her mother and other friends and family in Wisconsin reported that her calls became less frequent, and being without consistent work, she would often ask for money. Her mother reported a series of concerning phone calls in the months leading up to her disappearance, and her requests to return home to Wisconsin were returned with “I’m not ready yet.”

Christine had a genuine love and admiration for the natural world and California’s landscape. Having taught yoga and Pilates in Wisconsin, Christine’s passion for the environment and living naturally would also bring her to the Green Life Evolution Center. Now defunct, the center was known for its environmentalism and promotion of living a natural, vegan life. On November 7th, Christine would attend a “tea ceremony” or “cleansing ceremony” sponsored by the Center. A private investigator later hired by the family learned that Christine and others at the ceremony had ingested ayahuasca, a South American psychoactive. Known for its potential to invite "spiritual revelations," negative physical side effects can include nausea, tremors, and vomiting.

Four days later, on November 11th, Christine appears naked and disoriented on a couple’s porch in rural Arcata, CA. While Christine has scratches all over her body and is severely dehydrated, she also appears extremely paranoid and confused. From this point forward, eyewitness accounts remark on Christine’s unusual behavior. Unfortunately, it is unclear if Christine’s paranoia began directly following the tea ceremony, or had been developing over several weeks or months.

The couple calls the police and Christine is taken to a nearby hospital where she becomes evasive and refuses to answer questions about her injuries. Instead, she reports that she has “walked a long way” and that “demons … were trying to get her.” She is released and taken to the Red Lion Inn, where she calls her mother several times and repeats the same concerns about being followed.

On November 14th, Christine is seen for the last time while visiting a copy center. Having lost her ID, her mother faxes relevant documents to the copy center for Christine. It’s her mother’s hope that she will be able to book a flight home once she has acquired a new ID. It’s also reported by some sources that her father wires her $1,000.00 at this point, which remains untouched in her bank account. At the copy center, Christine appears disheveled and acts paranoid; she repeatedly looks over her shoulders, and asks for directions to a DMV approximately one mile from the copy center. She is never seen nor heard from again, and is reported missing by her family on November 17th, 2008.

Later, Christine’s missing backpack – with her identification and cash – is located at Green Life Evolution.

If you know anything about the disappearance of Christine Walters, please contact the Eureka Police Department at (707) 441-4060 or the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office at (707) 445-7251.

Today in Arcata, Ca there was a march from the town plaza up to the University campus. The campus has been baracaded for the last few days in order to stop protesters joining the students camping out on campus.

Starting your first Apothecary! It’s hard to know where to start when creating your first herbal collection, and can be overwhelming looking through all the herbs in any herbal book or website or apothecary. By the time you’ve got a list made, you’ve probably got 50+ herbs to learn about and hundreds of dollars to spend getting there :(

Let’s simplify that experience! You don’t need to start with all the herbs, and you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars. The best way to start is slow & small - get to know a handful of herbs really well! This is where a lot of people go wrong in the beginning - they try to cram in learning as many herbs as possible in as short a time as possible and end up only skimming the surface of each herb’s potential & not really knowing any of them deeply. You’ll have a one up on a lot of us if you take it slow and get to know a small handful of herbs very well before moving on.

To start - Where are some good places to buy herbs? Okay honestly - Mountain Rose Herbs is just the best - their quality just can’t be beat, they grow a lot of their own herbs (I’ve visited their farm and it’s amazing), they have SO many herbs to choose from that are usually always in stock, they are very reliable & their customer service/returns policy is just amazing. Their downfall is that you can only buy in bulk, so only in amounts of 4oz or more. But really, if you’re trying to get to know an herb, you’ll want at least 4oz. I went through a whole pound of calendula when I was learning it, so I promise that you’re going to want at least 4oz of your herbs. 

If 4oz is too much (which I get it, the cost can add up when you’re buying 10 herbs) a secondary option is to buy Mountain Rose Herbs herbs through an independent apothecary - any good apothecary will carry a ton of Mountain Rose herbs! You can do a quick search to find an apothecary near you to check out, or if you don’t have one nearby, you can order online from lots of apothecaries (my favorite is @moonriseHerbs in Arcata, CA where I first started my formal herbal training!). 

There are of course a good amount of smaller farms/suppliers that have great quality herbs (like @fosterfarmsherbs), but for simplicities sake we will leave that exhaustive list for another time. 

Ok second - let’s start with a well-rounded apothecary of 10 dry herbs for tea that can be formulated together to work with to address a ton of different imbalances. Trade out wherever you want, this is just a starting point! But if you want to just take a load off your shoulders & are feeling overwhelmed with all the herbal choices, just shoot for this list. This list is seriously well-rounded enough to work with for your first year of herbal studies.

Chamomile - affinities for digestion, cold & flu care, emotional health, pain management, & sleep issues

Ginger - affinities for digestion, pain management, cold & flu care, reproductive health, & cardiovascular health

Marshmallow - affinities for digestion, urinary health, respiratory support & moistening mucous membranes everywhere

Passionflower or skullcap - affinities for emotional/nervous system health & sleep issues (skullcap & passionflower are a power duo!)

Valerian - affinities for emotional/nervous system health, pain management, reproductive health & sleep issues

Elecampane - affinities for cold & flu care & lung support

Motherwort - affinities for emotional/nervous system health, cardiovascular health & reproductive support

Poppy - affinities for pain management, sleep issues & emotional/nervous system health 

Yarrow - affinities for digestion, emotional/nervous system health, reproductive health, urinary support & cold & flu care

Stinging nettle - affinities for urinary support, emotional/nervous system health, allergy support, cold & flu care, & cardiovascular health

These 10 herbs will get you & your loved ones so far when it comes to so many common imbalances as you can see. And this is absolutely not an exhaustive list, these are just the most common use cases for working with these herbs!

Third - you can simply store all of these herbs in the bags they come in, in a dark area, or you can move them all into airtight glass jars if you’d like! Just make sure they’re not exposed to sunlight - I like to keep mine hidden under a throw blankie just to be extra cautious about light damage. The internet has some pretty cool & affordable airtight glass jars, but mason jars totally do the trick & can be found at most grocery stores. 

Remember to label your jars with the plant name, latin name, where you bought it & when you bought it! If you don’t do this, I promise you will forget (I speak from experience!).

Lastly - You can learn about these common herbs from just about anywhere, pretty reliably since they are so well known. The internet is absolutely full of bullshit about a lot of herbs, but I will say that these 10 are so common that most of the information out there about them is legit. But if you’re looking for a great starter herbal book to learn from, my favorite is still @RosemaryGladtar’s family herbal. It is basic & simple, and I really think that’s best to start. 

Side note which I will elaborate on in a future post - there are actually a lot of crap herbal books out there. Like a LOT. And just because you recognize an herbalist’s name because they’re famous in the community does not mean they know wtf they’re talking about. Just proceed with caution and question anything that doesn’t seem quite right. 

And VIOLA, you’ve got yourself an apothecary! Practice drinking infusions of these herbs alone, and combining them together for different effects! You can really use this set of herbs to help with almost any common imbalance that might come up, and they also make for some delicious teas :) 

I’m slowly rolling out herbal spotlight/materia medical graphics on each of these herbs in much more depth, so check back here & on my IG for more info!
