Welcome
I’m Em; A keeper of folkways, a Bean Draoí, and a tender of the sacred wild. The land is our biggest teacher and healer. Nature gifts us everything we need. Living alongside the magic of the land, the magic of nature, is the key to returning to our innate power and reclaiming the ancestral truths and memories coursing through our veins.
I want this online space to serve as the modern hearth for those without a place to gather. A place to remember and connect to our ancestral spiritual roots; to connect with the knowledge of the land, to learn the language of plants, and begin to intertwine with the natural world around us.
Kitchen medicine, folk herbalism, however you may phrase it — is yours to step into if you desire. No piece of paper, amount of money or ‘guru’ is going to give you something that is already yours: a connection to the land as well as a desire to heal, soothe, and thrive. You will find resources to guide you on your own unique journey with the land around you throughout my blog and site. (Currently building these resources as I go).
Here, we honour the Bean Feasa; the wise women and medicine makers whose wisdom carries throughout our ancestry. Nature lives within all of us. I’m a huge believer that folk medicine and herbalism is for everyone. We don’t need to look too far into our lineage to find a Bean Feasa, medicine women, or women of the land. The desire to cultivate a relationship with the natural world around you is deeply human, sacred, and an intrinsic part of us. I’m here to share ways for you to cultivate your own sacred relationship with the plant allies and natural world around you.
The Living Through Nature Apothecary
This belief of connection to the wild world is lovingly weaved into every offering. Living Through Nature is a bespoke, micro-batch apothecary crafted with high quality botanicals dedicated to nurturing your connection to both the earth and to the wild within.
Each small-batch creation – from grounding elixirs and protective essences to soothing balms – is handcrafted with intentionally chosen herbs and flowers. These apothecary offerings are sacred plant allies prepared with reverence to aid in emotional grounding, spiritual protection, and physical solace.
The Living Through Nature apothecary is to nurture the sacred wild within. Using organic and ethically foraged plants, herbs, and flowers to handcraft micro-batch botanicals. A range of offerings to aid in emotional grounding, spiritual protection, physical soothing and more.
Through these apothecary offerings, and the resources shared in this online space, my hope is to provide gentle ways for you to cultivate your own sacred relationship with the natural world.
Thank you for finding your way to my hearth. May your journey be expansive and healing.
Em
