Earth has no sorrow that Earth can not heal.
-John Muir

As he roamed the mountains and forests of California, the naturalist John Muir understood and wrote of the transformative experiences that we feel as humans when we are out in nature.

The planet Earth itself has experienced continual transformation over the ages.

The current age we occupy, sometimes known as the ‘Anthropocene’, is also part of the continuum of Earth’s transformative process.

This is the small window that we have been so utterly blessed to have the chance to glimpse through, and witness the wonders of the world around us and the unfathomably vast universe beyond.

Earth is our blessing, as is this amazing opportunity we call human existence. The unbelievably rare chance for an infinitesimally tiny part of the universe to be able to reflect upon itself, and see itself through our eyes, and minds, and hearts.

The Earth will continue to transform long after we have ceased to exist as a species.

In celebrating Earth Day, we are actually celebrating humanity and the miraculous gifts that we have been offered in this Earth, and in this life, and in this awareness.

What we are witnessing now, is the Earth beginning to close our window to the world, shuttering the aperture of our brief snapshot of the universe.

While the Earth will transform, it will be us who will suffer.
While the Earth will heal, the sorrow will be ours.

Peace,
-Aaron

We know it’s not forever but it’s day 2 of being in the 70s and sunny, so we’re gonna call it ‘Early Spring’ out of optimism. Check out our seasonal menu as we ease out of the cold and dark days behind us and look toward the spring blooms 🌼

These late winter/early spring whole flower offerings are currently available in Beacon at our flagship store, in Manhattan at and (dropping this week!) in Brooklyn at . ✌️

🥂 Did you know that before he opened LotusWorks, our co-founder Aaron was a pro “mixologist” in SF and NYC? Well, now you do! Below are some of his favorite recipes for ✨ elevated ✨ craft mocktails to help you through Dry January and into this new year (one easy, and one ‘advanced.’) We have been loving these with our limited edition SNOWFALL ❄️ tincture for a mellow yet uplifted happy hour feel, but they both work great with any of our all-natural tinctures to lift the vibe or wind down.

➡️ In a short glass, fill with ice then add:
➡️ 2oz bubbly water (flavored or unflavored)
➡️ 1oz fruit juice (any kind)
2oz ice tea
➡️1 dropper tincture (or any desired dosage!)
~ Stir and Enjoy!

🍹 Advanced Mocktail - “The Lame Duck”:
➡️ Chop ¼ cup raw ginger
➡️ Chop 1 teaspoon raw garlic (optional but encouraged 😉)
➡️ Chop ¼ cup raw turmeric or use 1 tablespoon powdered turmeric
➡️ In a small pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil and add ginger, garlic & turmeric
➡️ Add 2 tablespoons of honey, stir until dissolved, and bring down to a simmer for 30 min
➡️ Using a french press or mesh strainer, strain liquid into a glass container
➡️ Let cool, or keep hot, whatever your preference
➡️ In an iced glass or in a mug, add 1 dropper tincture (or any dosage!)
