Shasta, is a nature&#8217;s shrine that evokes that spiritual feeling where one can tap into the earth&#8217;s energy.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s very grounding to feel the mountain&#8217;s energy and drink its spring water.<\/a> BUT if one can&#8217;t go, one can find that earth&#8217;s energy in the herbs harvested by hand &#8230;by Yasuko.<br \/>\nYasuko-san has a beautiful line of products, hand-made&#8230; of course, hand picked from either wild woods and meadows at the foothills of Mt. Shasta or grown in her garden overlooking that majestic mountain &#8230; she painstakingly makes tinctures, ages them<br \/>\nunder the New Moon light for good luck and fortune.<br \/>\nHer craft brings you that<br \/>\nessence of Nature and Harmony:)<br \/>\nHere is her site: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morikawayasuko.com\/class-schedule\/#prettyPhoto\">click here:)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our last discovery while staying with Yasuko was &#8230;<br \/>\nMost amazing &#8211; that there&#8217;s an authentic Indian restaurant tucked away in Weed &#8211; very funky next to an American BBQ.<br \/>\nGlassy Junction &#8230; feels so funny to walk in and the waiter or the owner looks like an actor from a Bollywood movie.<br \/>\nHe has a general look of disinterest and boredom watching some Indian version of soaps. This kind of unfriendly service which makes the place even more surreal as we were the only ones showing up &#8211; Yet the food was delicious!
