We believe everyone has an inherent connection to botanical healing.
Our journey is one of deep love for the Earth, a passion for herbalism, and a shared vision of rekindling humanity's profound ancestral connection with the natural world.
For the past three years, we’ve immersed ourselves in the world of herbalism, foraging, ecological restoration, native plant landscaping, and permaculture, natural farming, and nutrition. Our own healing journeys with chronic illnesses ignited our desire to share the transformative power of Earth's offerings with others. Through Hidden Lotus Herbs, we aim to empower you to explore your inner power and the Earth's boundless potential for healing.
Our mission is to reawaken the human relationship with the Earth, plants, fungi, animals, and all other beings here with us. We're committed to fostering a reciprocal connection with the spirit of our planet and the vast universe beyond. It's a journey of rediscovery, where we embrace the ancestral wisdom of the Earth and share it with you through our handcrafted, eco-friendly herbal products and educational programs.
Together, we are embarking on a journey to create an intentional community rooted in harmony with the Earth. Our dream is to provide sustenance, shelter, and nourishing resources to our community and to the world.
As you explore and experience our offerings, know that you're not just buying products or attending workshops; you're becoming a part of a force to heal the broken bonds of a post-colonial, post-industrial humanity. Together, we can co-create a world where humans and the Earth coexist in harmony.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we can heal, grow, and ensure a future for all beings.
With boundless love and gratitude,
Arandena and Dustin

Herbalism made its way into Aran’s life through experimenting with cuttings from wildscaping jobs. Forming a close connection with native plants allowed them agency in their chronic illness and revolutionized their perspectives on health autonomy and the industrial medical complex.
They strive to share the transformative powers they experienced while emphasizing the importance of reciprocity through education on foraging, wildcrafting, and ecologically restorative practices.
So many of our lifeways are disconnected from the world around us.
We strive to repair the rift that’s been driven between people and plants through restorative agriculture & ecology, holistic herbalism, and ethical foraging.
We offer affordable, handcrafted, small batch botanical blends and host mutual aid & educational programs.
