Bridging worlds through sacred plants, ancestral wisdom, and global collaboration
At Sacred Connection, we believe that reconnecting with the Earth’s sacred plants is a pathway toward personal healing, collective awakening, and ecological balance. Our work is rooted in reverence for Indigenous wisdom and shaped by the intention to serve as a bridge — between ancient and modern, forest and city, North and South, spirit and science.
We are not simply a botanical company. Sacred Connection is a global alliance of seekers, medicine carriers, traditional artisans, herbalists, researchers, and Indigenous elders, working together to share sacred plants and cultural teachings with respect and care.
Our Origins
Sacred Connection was born from decades of immersion in plant medicine, traditional healing, and fair trade collaboration. The project began as a personal calling to support Indigenous cultures and help bring sacred tools and teachings to people seeking reconnection and remembrance.
In 2022, Sacred Connection merged with Maya Ethnobotanicals, one of Europe’s oldest and most respected platforms for ethnobotanical products. Founded over 25 years ago, Maya helped pioneer online access to ceremonial plants and cultural knowledge. This union brought together Maya’s strong European roots with Sacred Connection’s ongoing fieldwork and community partnerships across Brazil and South America — forming a wider and more integrated platform.
Today, Sacred Connection operates through three main hubs:
🇧🇷 Brazil – where we collaborate directly with Indigenous communities and forest-based producers
🇳🇱 The Netherlands – where we manage European distribution, research partnerships, and product development
🇺🇸 The United States – where we support education, logistics, and fulfillment through our Florida-based partners
Together, these locations allow us to remain grounded in tradition while staying responsive to our global community.
Our Mission
Our mission is to honor and preserve ancestral plant knowledge by supporting traditional communities and offering sacred plant allies to the world in a way that is respectful, sustainable, and legally transparent.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to protecting Indigenous knowledge systems and ensuring their continuity across generations. We believe in creating trade relationships that empower rather than extract — relationships built on fairness, reciprocity, and long-term collaboration.
Education is also central to our approach. We seek to share not only the medicines themselves, but also the cultural, spiritual, and ecological understanding that surrounds them. This includes opening space for deeper conversations about lineage, context, and responsibility.
Our sourcing practices reflect this same care. From the forest to the hands that prepare each blend, we focus on responsible methods that protect biodiversity and support reforestation where possible. We also explore ways in which ancestral teachings and modern wellness practices can respectfully meet — without diluting the roots or commercializing the sacred.
To us, these plants are not products. They are teachers, allies, and expressions of a deeper wisdom. Every step of our process is guided by humility and a commitment to serve that wisdom with integrity.
What We Offer
At Sacred Connection, we offer a carefully curated selection of ethically sourced, high-quality sacred plant medicines and ceremonial tools, with a focus on traditional preparations from Brazil and the greater Amazon basin. Our product range is rooted in direct partnerships with Indigenous communities and forest artisans, cultivated over years of trust and shared intention.
Among our core offerings are traditional rapé blends from lineages such as the Yawanawá, Huni Kuin, Apurinã, Nukini, Katukina, and others — each blend prepared in accordance with the cultural and spiritual protocols of the people who carry it. These are not generic products, but living medicines made with intention, prayer, and a deep respect for ancestral knowledge.
We also work closely with community artisans to provide ceremonial tools, including kuripes, tepis, incenses, and altar accessories — each crafted in alignment with local traditions. In addition, we offer a small collection of botanical extracts and flower essences, prepared with care and designed to support subtle, vibrational work.
For aligned practitioners and small-scale retailers, we provide wholesale and white-label services, helping bring sacred medicines to broader communities while maintaining integrity in sourcing, presentation, and cultural respect.
All of our products are handled with spiritual care and processed through licensed, transparent export systems — ensuring compliance, traceability, and accountability across every step of the supply chain.
White Label, Wholesale, and Fulfillment Solutions
For aligned retailers, facilitators, and medicine carriers, we offer flexible services to help bring sacred plant medicines to broader communities. These include:

Working with Indigenous Communities
A central part of Sacred Connection’s work lies in our long-standing relationships with Indigenous communities in Brazil. These connections are not transactional; they are built through years of mutual trust, shared purpose, and ongoing dialogue. We work directly with knowledge holders, artisans, and community leaders to support traditional livelihoods and help sustain cultural practices that have been passed down through generations.
Our partnerships extend far beyond the act of sourcing. They involve shared decision-making and collaborative visioning, focusing on projects that support both cultural continuity and practical well-being. This includes work in areas such as sustainable medicine production, youth education, leadership development, and appropriate technologies that help communities maintain autonomy while engaging with the modern world on their own terms.
Fair pricing and trade agreements are developed with attention to local realities and priorities — not imposed from the outside. We also support efforts around food sovereignty and agroecology, helping reduce dependence on external systems and strengthen resilience from within.
At the heart of all of this is the recognition that rituals, languages, and spiritual teachings must be actively protected and nurtured. We see it as our responsibility to not only honor these traditions, but to help ensure that they remain alive and accessible to future generations.
When you choose to engage with Sacred Connection, you are participating in this work — contributing to the survival, growth, and dignity of communities who continue to hold and protect some of the planet’s deepest healing wisdom.
Community Projects and Social Impact
At Sacred Connection, we understand that true partnership means walking together over time. The relationships we maintain with Indigenous communities are not based on short-term sourcing, but on long-term collaboration rooted in reciprocity and shared purpose.
Over the years, we’ve supported a variety of community-led initiatives, always guided by local leadership and priorities. These include an agroforestry project with the Yawanawá that integrates reforestation with food security, the construction of a medicine house and well with the Katukina, and ongoing reinvestment by our partners into cultural, educational, and ecological projects — often funded through the income generated by their own sacred medicines.
To deepen this work, we are in the process of creating a non-profit foundation that will allow us to support Indigenous initiatives in a more consistent, transparent, and participatory way. This structure will help expand access to funding for projects focused on food sovereignty, children’s education, cultural revitalization, and forest regeneration — all led by the communities themselves.
Every purchase made through Sacred Connection becomes part of this ongoing work. It is a quiet but meaningful gesture of support for those who continue to care for the forest, the medicines, and the wisdom traditions that still guide so many of us today.
Why It Matters
We live in a time of fragmentation, disconnection, and ecological crisis. The plants — and the peoples — of the forest carry teachings that the world needs. They invite us to slow down, to listen, to remember who we are.
At Sacred Connection, we hold space for these teachings to be shared in ways that are respectful, safe, and in service to the greater whole. We are here to support the guardians of these medicines, and to offer access to those seeking healing, clarity, and reconnection.

This is not only a connection to plants — it is a connection to people, place, and purpose.
