I remember a wonderful week there in Jon Young's 'Art of Mentoring', and an exceptional weekend with Paul Raphael who led a 'Sacred Fire' 'workshop' (no work, no shop...LOL) That weekend with Paul was only second in importance in my life to my having studied tracking for the first time with John Stokes of 'The Tracking Project' in his workshop 'Arts of Life'. Thanks for sharing the photo and writeup. Saw the link On Debra's 'Rooted In Nature Blog'. From- D. at sacredearth.ning.com/

I am looking into finding an alternative way of packaging oysters. And I am very interested in using fresh palm leaf packaging or other like wise 100% organic and biodegradable natural materiale. I have seen pictures of palm leaf bowls used to carry coconuts etc. Why I asume it will be able to hold quiete some volume. Personally I have seen them in Indonesia on foot markets - serving from anything from plates to packaging! Since I am looking at using it in large scale for a commercial point of view, I have a few questions you might be able to answer: 1. Does it have to be fresh leafs in order to hold? 2. For how long will a bowl keep fresh and usuable? 3. Have you seen bowls with lids? 4. Does anyone have a source of where to get in touch if I would like to make product enquiry? Found this image - which shows a beautifull bowl http://www.flickr.com/photos/angela7/162024723/ Any answers and leads forward to a sustainable packaging solution - would really be appreciated and most helpfull. thank you in advance!

From there I purchased this soap only due to the fragrance and the packaging. The soap is wonderful, works a rich lather and the body smells great after a bath. Now, I regret that I did not purchase more. Can you please inform whether this soap is available in Mumbai and in which outlets? Or you can inform the mode thru which I can order this soap and the price. Warm Regards Varsha Dear Vaishali,
