Introduction
In the heart of British Columbia’s rugged landscapes, June, the founder of Up the Hill at Loakin, weaves ancestral knowledge into every bottle of her botanical energy mists. For June, these creations are more than products—they are a bridge between generations, honoring the healing traditions of the First Nations while offering modern solutions for holistic wellness.
The Story Behind the Sage Mist
It began with a client who longed to smudge but couldn’t tolerate smoke. Drawing from her cultural roots, June crafted the Sage Mist—a liquid alternative that captures the essence of smudging rituals. "Sage is sacred," June explains. "It cleanses energy and invites clarity. But not everyone can handle smoke. This mist allows anyone to carry that tradition with them."
Cedar & Sage: A Partnership with the Land
The Sage & Cedar Flower Essence Mist embodies collaboration. Cedar, revered as "the tree of life" by coastal First Nations, pairs with sage to amplify its healing properties. June’s daughter, rooted in Stó:lō traditions, inspired this blend. "Cedar is protection," June shares. "When combined with sage, it becomes a guardian for your space and spirit."
Modern Rituals, Ancient Roots
For June, these products are invitations to slow down. "Light a candle, spray the Sweetgrass Mist, and meditate. Let the scent of holy grass connect you to Mother Earth," she suggests. Each item carries a story—like the Mystic Rose Mist, inspired by rituals using rose bushes to cleanse energies and spirits.
