Our Values
We believe true wellness arises when we re-align ourselves with the rhythms and elements of nature. We believe plant medicine is for the people and dedicate our time and energy to preparing small batches - while inspiring others to grow and make their own medicine. We believe that all physical, mental, and emotional issues are interconnected. Additionally, symptoms that manifest physically are very often caused by imbalances in our energetic body, heart and mind. To truly heal holistically, one must address and nurture one's entire being.
Giving Back to Mother Earth
We hold a deep reverence for the plants, materials and people involved in the production of our products. We strive to inspire the global community to re-engage with stewardship of our precious earth and communities by taking action to reduce our environmental footprint, uplift one another, and invest in regenerative practices.
We believe that social and environmental responsibility go hand in hand with running a business and that true success is attained with a triple bottom line approach — profit, people and planet. We seek to reduce our impact on the environment through facilitating sustainability, security and dignity throughout our supply chain.
We understand that being connected to nature and to each other is essential to our individual health and collective well-being. Here are some ways we take action to reduce our negative environmental impact, regenerate nature and take a stand-up for social justice and equality.
