HIEROS GAMOS APOTHECARY

Introducing a line of skincare, soaps, elixirs, and tinctures that were formulated in mindful co-creation with sacred herbs.

Alchemy is the process of transforming one substance into another, through careful tending, intention, and love. These sacred products were made with great reverence, joy and gratitude.

The relationship I have grown with these medicines over the last two years began with a mindful detox and perhaps unintentionally resulted in an initiation of the Divine Feminine that while beautiful, invited a stillness that was foreign and uncomfortable to me.

Stillness is Everything

The Divine Feminine creates in stillness. The lotus only blooms in still water. The fruit of this stillness was found for me through the Hieros Gamos. The Divine Marriage of the masculine and feminine energies that live within us all. Neither one can create without the other. Our world has omitted the value of the sacred feminine stillness with never-ending production.

Gaia Creates and Rests

Women have been separated from their bodies, cycles, archetypes and sacred initiatory thresholds in order to give their power away to bosses, families, careers and rolodex of responsibilities. We have put ourselves last in the name of self-sacrifice or duty. But what would the world look like if we collectively chose a different way? What if we honored the mirror we are of Gaia herself. Gaia produces abundance and then rests. Everything waxes and wanes from the rhythm of our heartbeat to hormone production. For our body to function in ceaseless action, undoubtedly results in burn-out, disease, and hopelessness.

Alchemy Takes Time

This apothecary was born of that illness, forced stillness and sacred threshold that demanded reverence in order to bloom. Every tincture takes six weeks to extract. Every soap cures for six weeks before it can be used. Even sourdough requires time to bulk ferment. Alchemy is honoring the time it takes to transform. I invite you to be still - in order to become. You are sacred, composed of the very minerals that make up our beautiful Mother Earth. Remember your origin and the gifts she has offered us to tend to our temples. You are allowed to rest. In the stillness, we discover hidden truths that are only revealed through the beating of our hearts and the breath that nourishes every cell with the possibility of renewal.

All ingredients are organic and locally sourced when possible. Used herbs are offered back to Gaia as an offering of gratitude.
