At the same time, we believe that a living relationship with nature does not have to start with something that comes from the other side of the world.

For many people, the first contact can be right outside the door.

Spruce, pine, juniper, hornbeam, wormwood and other plants that grow in our Nordic landscapes also have their own scents, stories and traditions.

Palo Santo can be a valued tool, but we believe there is also value in getting to know the plants, trees, and places where we ourselves live.

Perhaps nature relationship doesn't start by searching further afield.

Maybe it starts with stopping and getting to know what is already close by.
