Rooted in Vision: Join the Founding Circle

Hands holding a small fern growing in soil

Dear friend,

You may not know this about me, but for a portion of my teen years, I didn’t have a home. The library became my refuge — a place where I could learn, grow, and feel safe. Those librarians and shelves of knowledge gave me more than just information; they gave me community and a vision of what was possible.

That experience has never left me. It’s a big part of why I dream of creating a community space where plants, people, and wisdom come together. A place where herbal knowledge is shared as freely as books on a shelf, where healing and connection feel accessible to anyone who walks through the door.

That dream has already taken root in The Daily Ritual Nursery & Apothecary. From my home in Tacoma, we’re learning to build a thriving medicinal plant nursery. I've created a line of herbal teas, remedies, and ritual tools, and have begun to share and educate with a growing circle of community classes. The concept has proven itself — and now it’s ready to flourish.

What Is the Founding Circle?

The Founding Circle is a small group of just 30 supporters who want to help nurture this vision. By joining, you’re not simply donating — you’re becoming part of a story. A seed stage. A circle of people who believe in the importance of plants, wellness, and community.

Membership tiers — Seed, Sapling, and Grove — come with gifts of gratitude: herbal bundles, seasonal boxes, zines, and more. But the true gift is knowing you’ve helped something meaningful grow.

What Your Contribution Supports

A storefront remains part of the long-term dream, but that’s not what these funds are for. The Founding Circle will help us grow right now in the most impactful ways:

  • Product Development — expanding our teas, remedies, and offerings

  • Marketing & Outreach — so more people can discover what we do

  • Teaching & Community Classes — expanding education around herbal wellness

  • Nursery Growth — cultivating more plants to share with our community

In short, this circle provides the nourishment needed to extend our reach and help The Daily Ritual flourish.

Why This Matters

A garden path of stones leading into a forest

We live in a time when many feel disconnected from nature, from community, and from themselves. Herbal wisdom is a bridge back to wholeness. The Daily Ritual is here to make that wisdom accessible and alive — not tucked away in books or locked in the past, but growing, blooming, and shared.

Your role in the Founding Circle isn’t about directing decisions or shaping the business. It’s about helping sustain and grow something that already has roots. You’re offering support, trust, and belief in a vision that nourishes everyone it touches.

An Invitation

The garden is already alive. The seeds are sprouting. With your help, we can make the next season even more abundant.

Will you take your place in the Founding Circle and help this vision flourish?

With love and gratitude,
