Foraging : : Rediscovering the Connection to Wild Food and Natures Abundance

Foraging can be more than an act of gathering plants— when we listen to the land, it is a remembering. A return to the quiet knowing that the land provides, that we are not separate from nature but a living part of it.

Connecting with Nature, Energy, and Presence

At AKYN, my work is rooted in the belief that nature supports us in every aspect of life—not just physically, but emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. Through Elemental Herbalism, I see plants as expressions of the four elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—each offering unique support for our well-being.

My practice is not just about creating tinctures and remedies, but about cultivating a deeper connection to the earth and ourselves. Whether through foraging, crafting, or slowing down to listen to the plants, I’ve learned that mindful connection brings peace, clarity, and balance.
