Fogo Island
Fogo Island's landscape is wild, nuanced and continually shifting. Its geology is a living record of the magma chamber from which it emerged 400 million years ago, and the ice, fire and sea that have continued to shape it since then. The harsh weather, Fogo's many seasons and the delicate, pristine growth found here speak of the vitality, diversity, adaptability, and strength of the island's embodied spirit.
All remedies are made respectfully in the wild habitats and distinct ecoregions of the island. It is an honour to work in relationship with the land and to learn from nature directly. With deep gratitude, I acknowledge all those who have lived in relationship with this place and recognize the lasting impacts of colonization on the people and lands we now inhabit. Listening carefully to this place, the flowers, and one another is central to this work.
Verditer
Verditer is the heart work of Erin Hunt, an artist living on Fogo Island. Erin’s practice involves working with individuals to identify flowers that may offer support. What began intuitively over the years through close attention to the presence of local flowers has deepened through flower essence training and certification. Erin’s studies draw on the five element theory used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and explore the harmonious relationship between one's internal energy and the rhythms of nature.
