I love conversations like this.

This is a shorter podcast, but something that is just full of information and wisdom

because it is with Bella Cloud, who is just so fantastic.

She's here in Colorado.

And by universe, chance, magic, her and I have met and collaborated to bring back the tea company,

Element Tea. It has been with this partnership that we combined some of her blends with

herbs from Maui and it was just so fun to talk to her about a little bit of her journey and her connection with

plants and all the amazing plant wisdom she has and this will definitely be another interview soon

because there's so much wisdom to be shared by her and she's so fantastic. I wanted to start with

her bio. Founder Bella Cloud was originally

taught by the Taos Pueblo Indians to respect the power of wild medicine. And for over 35 years,

she has roamed the high altitude of Southern Colorado's Valley of the Orphans. Based on the

truth of the medicine wheel that the plants around you are

your allies and healing she has created teas and tinctures out of indigenous plants with the purpose

of strengthening the body systems they assist by using these plants to heal ourselves we deepen our

connection with the earth she is fantastic and I feel so grateful to combine some of

these Maui herbs with her blends and these tinctures. We don't have a lot, but we definitely have

some. They are so healing and so energetically vibratory. They are just resonant with healing in a way that we all need.

And that resilience that the plants have to survive, this crazy world that they're living in,

that's what we get to consume and participate in. That same resilience is what they hand over to us.

And so in my forever journey of learning about plants and meeting people like Bella,

who have been connected to Earth way longer and in much deeper ways,
