Along with my young artist child, I have lived from place to place especially before the Pandemic hit in 2020, searching for and developing medixine^ that I knew was critical for the world. I started an herbalism practice, BetterBonds, in 2016, and carried it on actively until 2022. In 2023, I paused the active practice and sales and began encoding what we have learned and what our outlook is, on a website.
This herbalism practice is part of my mission to live a more organic and nature-aligned way of life, and to build medical and socioeconomic sovereignty by connection communities and the larger public back to the land, to flora and fauna and the mineral kingdom, and to an intelligent and harmonious way of life. This is the way to heal and restore the world and Soul, protect people and planet from ecocide, and reduce the cost and tax of being alive.
I also intended to practice homesteading, but that dream has not fully materialized. However, I have learned a medley of skills pertaining to Nature and Land. Herbalism still happens to be the most important of these skills. Learning to make an artisanal, creative home is another.
We have made huge leaps in becoming more artisanal, and I intend to share more of that on this website.
I do watch with concern how the society is going forward in some way and backwards in others. Through our writings and works, we mother-daughter duo intend to bring our work to the world, and teach the world to live a more balance, harmonious and nature-aligned way of life while also staying rooted in and connected to the modern world. Amen.
