Los Angeles, CA – Carol Cumes, author, gardener, flower essence practitioner, and non-profit founder of the Willka T’ika Children’s Fund in Peru, will be interviewed about her book Chakra Gardens: Opening the Senses of the Soul (Mitra Publishing, 2008) by host Andrea Garrison on “On Line with Andrea”, Monday, October 5, 2009, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm PT at blogtalkradio.com on the Internet at the following address: blogtalkradio.com/
Cumes will discuss the benefits of creating healing gardens, the meaning of the elements, and how she was inspired by nature as well as the rich Andean lore of the region to build the gardens. “Chakra gardens are gardens of peace. They do not restrict or impose. They simply support people in experiencing their own deep connection to Source,” say Cumes.
Cumes was living in Santa Barbara, California when she first visited the Sacred Valley of the Inca in Peru in 1984. She was so captivated that she continued to return, and in 1994, she left California and moved to the Sacred Valley. There, she built and established the unique Willka T’ika Garden Retreat Center and its seven Chakra Gardens, not far from Machu Picchu.
Proceeds from the book benefit the non-profit Willka T’ika Children’s Fund, founded by Cumes to support the isolated mountain schools and Andean children in their communities.
Radio host Andrea Garrison’s weekly two-hour program includes explorations of “health, fitness, body, mind, heart, soul, spirit, the spoken word, art, music, dance, theater, film, the environment, planet earth, and beyond.” Garrison is the author of The Crossing Over of Mattie Pearl, also available on CD and DVD.
