All of nature is within us, and all of us is in nature.
In fact, there is nothing separating us, except for the illusion of separation itself.
Our ancestors have studied and charted the natural cycles of life for millennia, keeping knowledge that connects us to the bodies of the Universe, the Earth and all its life forms, and to our own physical bodies and their innate phases.
Founded by an Astroherbalist, this space was born from the desire to foster and deepen a connection with all beings.
Our hope is that everyone learns to flow with their own unique life transitions, using the cycles of plants, elements, and the stars as a guide.
Destene is a practitioner of food as medicine, a student of the elements, and a keeper of living traditions.
Her work is shaped by the meeting of many lineages; the culinary arts, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and ancestral plant knowledge rooted in her heritage and studies in ethnobotany. She holds a background in culinary arts and food therapy, where she learned to see flavor and temperature as energetic forces that mirror the seasons of the Earth and the body.
Over time, this understanding expanded into the practice of ceremony and tea — a quiet way of listening. Through tea, she found a bridge between science and spirit, a language that speaks not through words but through sensation, rhythm, and breath.
Destene’s work is dedicated to helping others remember how to communicate with their bodies, the plants, and the wider universe that animates all things.
