Here at Quintessence Sanctuary and Gardens, we’re helping to weave a vision for the future of humanity. A vision centered on health, wellness, heart, and connection to Earth.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live in alignment with their natural rhythms {rest, play, exploration, integration, purpose}. To eat nutrient-rich foods that have been cultivated without exposure to chemicals, pesticides, and glyphosates. To be a part of the ecosystem of the Earth.
Our vision with Quintessence Sanctuary and Gardens is to provide herbs and produce locally that’s been grown with the greater ecosystem in mind. Through permaculture gardening and regenerative agriculture, we’ll help our community heal physically. We’ll {hopefully} inspire others to begin to look at their lives and question where they can begin to connect more closely with nature. How they can live more sustainably, and foster a better relationship with Earth.
After all, this is our home. We’re meant to appreciate and work with her.
If you’re interested in being a part of building a new narrative, finding a deeper appreciation for nature, discovering ways to live more simply, and finding healing through food – even within the comfort of your own backyard, Quintessence is for you.
Feel free to follow along with our journey via YouTube at Quintessence Sanctuary. You can also support our efforts via our Patreon.
A little bit about us:
Jen, Founder of Quintessence
A jack of all trades, Jen has long been an artistic entrepreneur, offering portrait and wedding photography in the Lake Geneva and greater Chicagoland areas. However, her heart sings most when she’s out in nature, playing in the dirt, feet and hands muddy, with plants nearby.
She is a poet, an author, a media maven, and has the heart of a wild woman. She’d much rather spend a night under the stars in a tent than a 5-star hotel {although those are nice too}, and she believes deeply in the healing power of nature and the magic that can unfold when we tap into our authentic selves.
Having grown up on 40 acres of land in Mideastern Wisconsin, Jen is no stranger to life in the country. Between many seasons spent helping tend to the orchard on her family’s land, waking up at night to stoke the wood-burning stove, mowing acres of lawn and paths on the property, and caring for all manner of plant life from an early age, she’s ready to return to her roots and encourages others to experience the richness of a life lived in harmony with nature.
