My name is Alison Kelly and I live and work in Sonoma. I
have been an herbalist for the past 15 years studying and teaching classes in herbal medicine making, nutritional benefits of herbs and herbal teamaking. In 2016 I co-taught a
series of essential oils for self care classes for Sonoma Valley Hospital staff, and completed a year long certificate program in
Health Navigation at Sonoma State. I have a small herbal products company and currently make and sell a savory herbal
seasoning locally in Sonoma, work as a natural foods
personal home cook, food artisan and soupmaker. I am also participating in a acupuncture tutorial program
at Sonoma Valley Acupuncture and Herb Center and am excited to be learning about Chinese medicine.
6/10/18 What is the function of gravity? A grounding. I think the function of gravity is to keep everything on the earth and not floating out into space! In the case of the physists in the elevator, born and brought up inside the elevator, they have a completely different perspective of existence than we do as observers on the outside. Our sense of gravity is different from someone accelerating downward in the elevator. A dropped handkerchief floats in mid air and if pushed, moves vertically to hit the wall of the elevator. At Disneyworld there is the tower of terror elevator that drops people or pulls the elevator down faster than the speed of gravity for a temporary feeling of weightlessness. Another example is a the roundup ride at the fair uses centrifical force to push you back against the wall emulating a stronger sense of gravity. So, again, what is the purpose of gravity? I'm not really sure!!!
That's so cool that you're doing a tutorial! How old school!
