Chanelle believes that intention, ritual, and using low-doses of plant and spirit medicine offer some of the greatest impacts to our healing. Her love and study of mysticism play a large role in her work, and she weaves her divinatory practices with tarot, pendulum, and astrology to deepen her offerings. It is in the spirit of the seasons and the lunar months that Chanelle approaches her healing work: that all things wax & wane, that everything has a cycle, a pattern; that health & well-being are not stagnant but in fact change as we do, from month to month: moon by moon. When Chanelle is not in the apothecary, you will find her making improvised & atmospheric sound-collage music under the name of allesandre, playing in her gardens, submerged in the water, or writing poems. We are delighted to share that Chanelle will be teaching a workshop with us in April 2021, on Vibrational Essence Crafting: Healing Self and Earth! In this ritual workshop, we will take a dip into the world of essence crafting and essencing: the act of offering our infusions to the land as an act of devotion and reciprocity.
