The only constant in life is change…
Welcome to The Herb Life!
Founded in 2015, The Herb Life started as a platform dedicated to celebrating the feminine cannabis experience. In our early years, we focused on creating content that catered exclusively to this aspect of the cannabis world. We achieved significant milestones over the next five years, such as launching The Her[b] Life magazine and introducing our Spotlight Series. These endeavours allowed us to connect deeply with our audience through B2B collaborations, B2C interactions, teaching, learning, or simply sharing our passion for cannabis. Our relationships with you, our cherished community, have always been the driving force behind The Herb Life.
While our love for cannabis and our commitment to safe access and destigmatization remain steadfast, we've also recognized the importance of broadening our horizons. In 2020, like the rest of the world, we took a break. After a three-year hiatus, we are back with a renewed team and a clear focus. Our mission is to provide a safe space for all of us to explore how we perceive, approach, and enhance our health, happiness, and the pure, unapologetic joy we seek and deserve. We've shed the parentheses from our name, symbolizing our dedicated focus on the divine feminine and the stories of and from women.
The 2023 version of The Herb Life is born out of a desire to share our life experiences, to learn from yours, and to integrate our collective lessons, truths, and falsehoods about life, love, finance, and health – the art of living. Throughout this journey, we aim to foster connections that remind us of our undeniable interconnectedness.
Our commitment to this mission is reflected in the content we create. We offer a diverse range of written, audio, and visual materials and our in-house custom apparel. Our content and products aim to infuse a sense of humour and lightness into life's challenges while keeping us grounded in what truly matters.
At the heart of The Herb Life is the belief that our connections are built on shared understanding and experiences. Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, and how we navigate it is influenced by the perspective we view it. We recognize that life can sometimes fog our lens or even crack it, making it challenging to see clearly. Through our community, we aspire to share recipes for healing and restoration, to discuss the struggles we face authentically, and to celebrate life's beauty and sorrow.
Community is our cornerstone, and we invite your voices, stories, and contributions to shape our organic and authentic content. We hope to create a place where our experiences resonate with you by sharing our stories and our quests for exploration and healing. We offer a variety of content with the intention that you'll find something that resonates with you in this season of life.
Thank you for being a part of The Herb Life community. Together, we'll explore, learn, and grow, embracing all life offers.
