169: Meeting the Sacred in Plants, Business and Money – Anima Mundi Founder ADRIANA AYALES
Adriana Ayales is a rainforest herbalist, a plant messenger, a seer, a mama and the owner of Anima Mundi Herbals, a beautiful brand on a mission to bridge ancient remedies and the modern world.
Adriana has studied Central and South American tribal style herbalism, with plant medicine teachers in Costa Rica, the Amazon and California.
With Anima Mundi Herbals, she’s created a business that not only provides an actual pure and powerful form of healthcare, but also helps preserve indigenous lands and their local economies through organic agriculture and wildcrafted goods.
I love making my ceremonial cacao with Anima Mundi’s blue lotus and rose. Listeners of Funded by Source get a discount on www.animamundiherbals.com with code FUNDEDBYSOURCE.
