The Vision

The Daily Ritual is at the threshold of something extraordinary.

My dream is to bring Tacoma a one-of-a-kind apothecary and medicinal plant nursery — a place where people gather to learn, heal, and reconnect with the wisdom of the earth.

By becoming one of just 30 founding members, you’ll be part of the intimate circle that makes this vision possible from the very beginning.

Your pledge secures you a place in our story and grants you more than just a few tangible perks — invitations to private gatherings and the honor of being forever recognized as one of the vision-keepers who helped make this dream a reality.

Together, we’re planting the roots of something that will grow far beyond us — a legacy of healing, connection, and most importantly, community.

What you are funding

Every pledge to the Founders Circle is an investment in bringing The Daily Ritual to life. Your support helps build the nursery, craft herbal products, cover essential permits, and create a welcoming apothecary space. It also fuels community education and seasonal experiences that will connect and inspire. Explore the tabs to see the specific ways your contribution is making this dream a reality.

  • Your contribution helps create the heart of The Daily Ritual — a thriving medicinal plant nursery with raised beds, greenhouse space, lights, warming mats, seeds, and all the tools needed to grow, nurture, and share healing plants with our community.

  • Your donation supports the creation of our small-batch herbal remedies, teas, tinctures, and seasonal offerings, locally sourced, crafted with care and rooted in tradition to nourish body, mind, and spirit.

  • Your pledge covers the essential permits, licenses, and application fees to ensure the apothecary and nursery can open safely, legally, and sustainably.

  • This funds classes, publications, and resources that empower people to learn about medicinal plants, herbal remedies, and rituals — spreading knowledge, wellness, and connection far beyond our walls.

  • This is where the unexpected delights live — workshops, seasonal rituals, community events, and other surprises designed to bring joy, learning, and enchantment to everyone who steps through our doors.

FAQs

  • The Founders Circle is a group of only 30 members who are helping plant the first seeds of The Daily Ritual. By pledging, you’re directly funding the build-out of our nursery and apothecary, new products, permits, and community offerings.

  • Membership is limited to 30 people, divided among three tiers (Seed, Sapling, and Grove). Once all spots are filled, the circle will close.

  • Each tier comes with unique gifts and perks, from charm bundles and zine subscriptions to product discounts, seasonal boxes, and invitations to special gatherings. All members receive permanent recognition as vision-keepers of The Daily Ritual.

  • Your contribution funds the nursery build-out, apothecary setup, new product development, required permits, and educational/community programming. You can explore the drop-down menus above for more details.

  • Yes! Each pledge tier offers a one-time payment or a 12-month payment plan so you can give in the way that feels most comfortable.

  • Not at this time — The Daily Ritual is not set up as a nonprofit. Your pledge is considered support for a small, community-rooted business.

  • Perks like the herb charm bundle and zine subscription will begin shortly after your pledge. Discounts, quarterly boxes, and gathering invitations will roll out once the apothecary and nursery are underway.

  • We are endlessly grateful for every form of support. If you’d like to give without joining the Founders Circle, you can make a one-time or monthly donation in the amount that feels right for you — $15, $25, $50, $100, or more. Every contribution helps bring The Daily Ritual to life. And of course, sharing our story, spreading the word, and joining us at markets or workshops are also beautiful ways to support our growth.
