About us
Our Dedication
“Glans at the sun. See the moon and stars. Gaze at the beauty of the green earth. Now think.“ -Hildegard Von Bingen
We love the heritage of those whose pursuit is to purely discover. From our base in Germany, we embrace the heritage of monasteries and their life vocation into the health and botanical fields. We also extend our reach to grab hold of the diverse ways in which peoples over this planet have understood the benefits and use of the Plant Kingdom.
We see a vastness and fullness in creation. Plants project this this full ecosystem and invite us as mankind to find rest in midst of a garden, one prepared for us.
We see the garden as a place of healing and strength. Of rivers and wonder. In the garden Heaven and Earth come together to foster growth, life and health. We want to experience this garden anew. The garden is not so much the cultivation of useful plants, but a discovery of how the vegetable world wants to flourish and work together with us.
The old Iro-Scottish monks in Europe and mystics like Hildegard von Bingen, Walahfried Strabo or Francis of Assisi paved the way many hundreds of years ago and we stepped into this legacy to go further. We believe that the essence of the plants in the essential oils have a great potential and carry secrets that beg to be discovered. It's like “the breath of God blowing over the essential oils”. We have begun this journey already, maybe you would like to join us!
We source local distillations and supply
We are constantly searching for distillations and other forms of supply from native products of the land. We are dedicated to bring into your hands the diversity of the different regions of this planet through endemic aromatic and medicinal plants. We seek to team up with farmers and distillers who share with us a passion to restore and steward their land.
We promote the exchange of knowledge and usage of aromatic and medicinal plants
We grab hold of generational knowledge passed on in different regions of the planet on the benefits and use of native aromatic and medicinal plants. Whether these records exist in written form in medieval medicinal books from European monasteries or as traditions in Latin American families, we are bringing this to live in our products.
