MEET THE FOUNDERS

 

The Story of Shane & Mark

 

A Lifelong Love of Nature

 

From the earliest days, Shane and Mark have shared a deep appreciation for the natural world the quiet language of trees, the rhythm of the seasons, and the wisdom that plants seem to whisper when we slow down and listen.

 

Their journey began not in laboratories or classrooms, but in nature itself learning through observation, connection and respect. What started as curiosity became a calling: to live in closer relationship with the land and to honour the ancient bond between people and plants.

 

Roots & Heritage

 

Shane’s heritage is woven with Indigenous ancestry, where nature is not separate from spirit  it is spirit. This heritage instilled in him an understanding that every plant, river and breeze carries meaning and memory.

 

Together, Shane and Mark honour that lineage through mindful work with Amazonian botanicals, approaching each plant as a teacher and ally. Their experiences both physical and emotional have deepened their appreciation of how the natural world can support reflection, grounding and connection.

 

Learning from the Amazon

 

Both founders have spent time learning about the traditional uses of Amazonian plants within spiritual and ceremonial contexts. Their approach is rooted in respect, ethical sourcing, and environmental care never exploitation.

 

For Shane and Mark, these botanicals are not commodities but companions: reminders of balance, gratitude, and the interconnectedness of all life.

 

Purpose & Vision

 

“We created this space to share the beauty and wisdom of the plants we love ethically, respectfully, and without claim or ownership. Our wish is to help others reconnect with nature in meaningful, mindful ways.”

 

Through their work, Shane and Mark continue to build bridges between ancient plant traditions and modern spiritual practice always with reverence for the forests, the people, and the planet that sustains them.
