For Montana, it all began amidst the vibrant, tropical greenery of a twenty-one-acre greenhouse in New Hampshire—an oasis filled with orchids, cacti, and countless other living wonders. After more than a year of tending to these plants, they began to reveal their quiet intelligence. Through their growth and breath, Montana came to understand the life force that animates all living things.

That awakening led to a deep fascination with botany and the ancient traditions that honor the power of plants. Before long, Montana discovered the Herbs of Legend—the great Daoist tonic herbs and the stories of the immortals who nourished themselves with them to transcend the ordinary boundaries of health and age. These include He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), known for restoring vitality and hair growth; Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), revered as “Women’s Ginseng”; and the renowned tonics Ginseng, Reishi, Gotu Kola, and Goji Berry—herbs said to have supported the legendary Master Li Ching Yuen, whose remarkable longevity became part of herbal lore.

This discovery inspired Montana’s ongoing devotion to exploring the meeting point of nature, spirit, and longevity—the ancient language through which plants teach balance, vitality, and renewal.

For Sarah, the connection to the plant world began in childhood, growing up surrounded by deep woods and the quiet company of trees. Early memories of playing in the forest, creating potions from petals and leaves.

Today, Sarah’s practice centers on crafting flower essences and spagyric medicines from wild and cultivated plants. She draws inspiration from Spagyric Alchemy, an ancient process that awakens a plant’s body, soul, and spirit to create living medicines of exceptional vitality.

“Although I was drawn to plant medicine, modern tinctures often felt unbalanced and ineffective. I have since found deep inspiration in spagyric medicine—the philosophy, the practice, and the profound gift of experiencing plants in their full, living essence.” - Sarah
