Our Story
“Beauty and seduction, I believe, is nature’s tool for survival, because we will protect what we fall in love with.” says Louie Schwartzberg, an award winning nature photographer, cinematographer.
Nature invites us to awaken our senses and open our hearts, and we are filled with wonder and gratefulness. That is what I experienced in the Amazon rainforest, this symphonic inter-connectivity of nature on the most elemental level and the immense power and beauty of Pachamama, our Mother Earth. I had a vision to create the essence that captures this incredible life force, Prana, in a way that honors the heritage and intelligence of the medicinal plants. I realized that these powerful plants originate in the same soil because they biochemically and energetically share a symbiotic relationship.
So that is how sami was born, to share with people this unique healing and nourishing nector straight from the womb of the Earth.
Many people describe to me the experience of using the elixir on their face while inhaling its distinctively herbal scent as "returning Home". And I think they are speaking about the connection we've lost, and sami invokes the faint primordial memories of our one true Home, the Mother Earth, and we return to Her as we are nourished deeply by her vital force.
