ABOUT US
Kia Ora I’m Nat, Founder of SANCTUM/Spellbones
I have always been fascinated with and mystified by nature. Forever exploring my own intuitive nature and that of the natural world, I am especially curious about the place of intersection between the two and how our inner world mirrors our world around.
When I journeyed from Maiden to Mother, a deep ancestral remembering happened. I awoke to the power of nature and a few specific master plants became incredible ally’s, guardians, keepers and friends. A remembering of ancient wisdom and a journey to alignment.
Spellbones came first and was born from a need to re-kindle my connection with nature, that of my own and with Earth Mother.. After a deep remembering and profound realisation of how we are not seperate from her, but that we ARE her, that the seasons we experience externally happen inwardly also, and that the elements around us are part of who we are too, a desire to share this wisdom was bestowed upon me.. It is in this journey that my connection back to self and source has deepened. A remembering of ancient wisdom and a journey home.. to my higher self, to alignment and to my own inner sanctum. And so an extension of this reconnection to self came SANCTUM CACAO. The exploration and journeying that I have been on with Mama Cacao has been one of the most profound experiences I’ve embarked on so far. She bestowed the mantle upon me to marry my love of the elements with her heart opening medicine and thus here we are, every service or product that I offer here has its origins in my own healing journey - Now it is my intention to share them with you - intuitively stewarded beautiful earth centred, heartfelt products and projects using practices in line with nature, the elements, body and soul.
My vision is to revive and normalise the practice of slowing down and returning to the whispers within. So that we may experience depth and meaning, be in balance with nature and therefore ourselves.. a coming home.
I believe that life itself is an act of ceremony and aim to provide tools, resources, products and experiences to create ritual and bring mindful magic moments to every day life.
I’m honoured to have you journey with me x
