About Moringa For Life
It is a wonderful feeling when our children take up our line of work. I never thought it would happen to me but I have been so pleased that my daughter, Sika, has begun working with Moringa For Life. Her life path has brought her home and she has begun making her own line of products. Hers is a very spiritual path that connects her even more to the natural world and so is co-creating with that world. Her products will be a result of her deep devotion and shared energy we have with plants. I am so proud to say that she stands on my shoulders and leaps forward to bring healing richness and clarity to our work. Our shared vision now increases to include her focus and her presence. She has achieved mastery in the traditional Japanese healing art of Reiki. It is the process of connecting directly to pure Source Energy, engaging the body's natural self-healing power. She brings this healing intention to every stage of Moringa work which amplifies the healing potential of our products. I have learned so much from seeing how she can so easily move through the lightness of being.
Philosophy
At Moringa For Life we focus on high hands, low tech. By that we mean to have our hands in contact with each phase of production from planting seeds and harvest, to packaging the products, to the face to face contact with the consumer. We believe it takes the human hand to heal the human heart. Each process is evaluated with this prospective in mind. We are mindful of having our hands involved rather than looking for mass automation and mass production.
We are a cottage industry and plan to remain so. We believe it is mass production that has taken the hands and faces out of our modern products and so has caused a disconnect from our food, our medicine our society. We no longer have the local herbalist we can go to for our health needs who knows our life, our family, our history. Our lifestyles bring us farther apart with less time to connect and enjoy simple things like breaking bread together and eating local clean harvest in season. To use a term in filming ‘to pull focus’, draws the camera lens wide to see more of the picture, we want to pull focus on the bioregion we live in. This enables us to see a bigger and wider picture of our resources. This makes bioregions more important than borders.
Fast lives, fast food and the fast deterioration of health, family and society has been the norm. At Moringa For Life we intend to live slow, eat slow and regain our health by high touch within our family, our friends, our community, our bioregion.
Moringa - The Vehicle
After years of research into the vitamin content of many plants, Moringa was found to have the highest value of vitamins and uses. It is called The Miracle Tree because all the parts are edible and medicinal. It is a source of nutrition for animals and heals wounds. It fixes high levels of nitrogen into the soil and can so be used to fortify soil. It can clarify water. All of our efforts are focused on the widespread use of Moringa as a local food and medicine for humans, animals, soil and water.
Mission Statement
Grow and promote Moringa as a food and medicine for people, animals, soil and water health.
Purpose
Moringa, The Miracle Tree, also called the Tree of Life, has the healing potential for the planet. All parts of the tree are edible and medicinal. Our purpose is to promote the use and cultivation of Moringa from the local to global. We will develop products from all parts of the plant and create markets for these items. Because Moringa has been utterly unknown in the West, our parallel purpose is to educate the public at large on its benefits and uses. We empower self-healing.
Its really important when making personal health decisions that you know our products have not been approved by the FDA.
