Connectedness – The Sacred Grove

Whether consciously or unconsciously, we all long for deep connectedness.

Not only with other people, but with everything that surrounds us:
with a higher reality that permeates all things and which we may call God, Love, or Light.

In truth, we are always connected, for it is our true nature.

We are part of the greater whole. When we experience this sense of unity in meditation, on a walk, or in an intense encounter, it becomes a gift that deeply moves our hearts.

Yet in everyday life, this feeling is often lost, and we live in the illusion of separation.

In this spirit, we have combined the essences of our “Spirit of the Trees” healing herb candles to create a Sacred Grove.

Such groves existed—and still exist—in many cultures and religions around the world.

Majestic tree giants stand together as a strong community, forming a temple in which this sense of connection with the greater whole resonates.

Such a divine forest is a bridge to an infinite space in which boundaries dissolve and bliss and perfect harmony vibrate.

ALL and EVERYONE has their place within it.

We are all co-creations of the whole, no matter how different we may be. The Sacred Grove reminds us that the Earth is not merely a resource.

As its inhabitants, we are responsible for the animals and our shared living space—nature.

Ultimately, we all carry a Sacred Grove within us; it is a place within ourselves. From this inner space, we see and understand others in all their uniqueness.

Few things are more fulfilling than feeling fully accepted and connected to others. When we nurture this sense of connection with our loved ones through time and undivided attention, the Sacred Grove can grow and flourish in all our hearts once again.

Therefore, we can give ourselves and others no greater gift than to show through a loving gesture how close we feel to them, and to say:

How wonderful that you are in my life.

In the Sacred Grove, all energies of our “Spirit of the Trees” series come together, supported by the earthy scent of Vetiver.

All creatures of the earth feel as we do,
all creatures strive for happiness as we do.
All creatures of the earth love, suffer, and die as we do;
therefore they are equal works of the almighty Creator.

— St. Francis of Assisi
