About Sky World Agroforest & Apothecary

Healing the land, healing each other, co-creating healthy futures through the medicine of reciprocal restoration, Re-story-ation, and culturally-grounded Land-based practice.

Sky World Apothecary is the evolution of what began as a hybrid approach to healing the deep-time relationships we have with the land, each other, and the Universal Truth of our small, young role in relation to Creation. We planted these seeds as a direct response, a resistance to the forgetting, disconnection, and hierarchy imposed by Western actors, settler-colonialism, and the momentary yet intense disruptive harm capitalism has wrought on the land and, by extension, the People and non-human kin of the land.

Our vision is simple: to advance Indigenous sovereignty and cross-cultural healing through reconnection with and care of the land, seeds, medicines, food, Indigenous Knowledge, and cross-cultural relationships. This will lead to a holistic re-storying of our bodies, minds, and spirits in relationship to the land, ancestors, and non-human kin.
