Dear Community--

I started this apothecary in 2016 when Spirit tapped me on the shoulder and instructed me to make 3 flower/gem essences--Full Flowering, Rooted Eros, Gift of Presence.  

Each subsequent essence continues the same collaboration of sacred relationship--it is a conversation between me, Spirit, the plants, the stones, and the sacred energies that want to come through in a tangible form for us to work with.

Pre-pandemic I loved doing in-person events.  I loved connecting with people, sharing my medicine, and letting the magic speak for itself.

Part of what going 'offline' during the pandemic emphasized for me is that I want the visual presentation of my medicine to communicate and align with the deep magic contained within. . .

I'm almost done watching Michael Pollan's 'How to Change Your Mind' on Netflix, and there are tears in my eyes and my chest is so full of emotion.

If you know me from growing up, you will know that I didn't drink or do anything in high school, and even really that much in college.

That was a really good, instinctive and protective choice for me (which is not a judgement on anyone else's path).

My own sensitivities, and lack of the context, lineage, and meaning making of plant medicine, mean that it would have caused more harm than good.

I needed to develop a stronger sense of self, sober, to then learn to meet these plant medicines. . . 

To know ourselves we must stop looking outside for certainty, for some unalienable, Jehovic authority that knows better.

God/dess, Creatrix, the Mystery--it lives equally inside us as without. And it is asking you to learn how to unfold.

It is asking you to slow down. To take one step at a time to trust, to learn your own inner voice, your own wise compass within.

It is from this place that we can begin to reweave our being into coherence, into a living tapestry. Not a static vision of perfection, but one that has stretch, and vibrancy, and tenacity.
