The Art of Living is to make Life Your Art". A thought came to mind while hitchhiking to work on the north shore of Kauai in the mid-80s. This notion made me understand that my wellness & health were of the truest value to myself and this world. I landed on an organic farm/meditation retreat center in the late 80's. It was at this juncture I began self-studying herbalism & nutrition. Becoming a Father at 27, I took it upon myself to care for my family's health needs.
After leaving the farm in the early 2000s, I started learning about essential oils. This laid the foundation for my artisan essential oil distiller work beginning in 2008. Thanks to my Grandfather "Lefty" for bequeathing me a small inheritance that allowed me to invest in a small (55 gallons!) essential oil still. I knew nothing of the process, chemistry, or alchemy at the time. Well into my second decade as a distiller, I continue to be pleasantly surprised by the way this simple process teaches and leads the way to learning directly from the Trees and plants.
