Feb, 2016 - PresentLove's Aura Non-Profit
Love's Aura Non-Profit was created to build revenue to support primary goal of enhancing the availability of Herbal Medicine through supporting the creation of Herbal Gardens and Apothecaries in communities that are interested in Donation Based Herbal Healthcare. In order to build revenue for our primary goal, we have created a Skin Care Line which includes 5 types of skin cream made to meet specific skin types: Sensitive, Oily, Combination, Dry/Mature, along with a Reef Safe, Zinc Suncream which repels the sun’s harmful rays while also repairing sun damage. We also sell toner, salve, and lip balms. All ingredients are Organic, Wild-Crafted, or Home Grown without the use of pesticides. Many of the herbs are wild-crafted, dried, and processed by me, from the locations of Northern CA, Maui, and Alaska. All batches are made within Sacred Space on New and Full Moons. Love’s Aura has the goal of merging Spirit with Work through aligning with natural cycles and using prayer as a means to enter a state of centeredness when tending to the various tasks necessary to run the business.

THOUGH IT THOROUGHLY INSTILLS IN THE STUDENT THE PRACTICAL SKILLS NECESSARY TO PRACTICE HERBAL HOME HEALTH CARE, IT DOESN’T IGNORE THE RICH SPIRIT AND ESSENCE OF HERBALISM. THE HEART OF THIS COURSE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DEEP PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PLANT WORLD. MANY OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE WRITTEN TELLING US THAT THIS COURSE HAS BEEN TRANSFORMATIONAL AND ONE OF THE MOST SELF- EMPOWERING STUDIES THEY HAVE UNDERTAKEN.
