Introduction - Katukina.us Partner Spotlight Series:

At Katukina.us, every offering we share with you is hand-selected by our team and comes with a story and journey that brought it to our collection. We are always moved and inspired when we hear their stories and the journey they went on that led them to create and provide their offerings. That is why we created  this series to spotlight the people behind our offerings - the partners and the friends of Katukina.us

One of the greatest honors of this path is us being given the opportunity to build relationships with the artisans, creators, visionaries, and medicine carriers whose work reflects the spirit, tradition, and sacred intention behind the offerings we share with our community.

This month, we are especially grateful to feature a partner who is close to home for us. Norelle, the heart and hands behind Sacred Snuff and Sacred Sanctuary church, created her offerings right here in Apopka, Florida. She is a fellow member of our own local community who has poured her own ceremonial practice into every product she makes.

Norelle's journey began simply: she started crafting the tools she needed for her own Ayahuasca ceremonies and the honey she blended into her own cacao. What began as personal devotion has grown into offerings she now shares with our community, made with the same intention and care she brings to her own sacred space.

Today, we are excited to introduce her newest creation — a beautiful Anointing Oil born out of a season of deep initiation and prayer — and to share the story, intention, and mission behind Sacred Sanctuary and her offerings

Through our Katukina.us Partner Spotlight, we invite our community to step closer to the people behind our offerings, to learn more about their story and the intentions behind what they create and offer.

The Origin Story

What first called you to work with your craft (medicine, textiles, art, tools, etc.)? How has that journey shaped who you are today?

I first decided to start making products out of my own desire for their use. Over the years, I have crafted different products to assist me in facilitating ceremony with Ayahuasca and then packaged those items to share with others. The same is true for the honey I make as I first made it for myself and my own desire to add it in to cacao for a truly heart opening experience. 

The Intention

When someone holds or works with one of your creations, what energy, experience, or message do you hope they receive?

Every creation I make always circles back to my truest intention - to feel God's presence more clearly. More peace. More joy. More love.

 

Featured Piece

Of the items we currently carry in the Katukina shop, which one feels most alive for you right now? What makes it special? What was the process of bringing it to life?

 

I am currently LOVING my Anointing Oil. It is the newest product I have made, and I personally utilize it before every ceremony and any time I have a moment that I want to connect deeply with God. 

I was in a group where we were being led through the book The Sophia Code, and there are initiations in every chapter. I felt called to create an anointing oil for these initiations and have used it ever since for many sacred moments and experiences.

All of the oils inside of it are sacred and special and have been used for many thousands of years as anointing oils (including the traditional use of Olive Oil as the carrier oil in the blend).

Craft & Integrity:

What is one thing most people don’t understand about the time, intention, or sourcing behind your work?

I truly value the quality of all ingredients and taking the time to create with a clear space and mind to allow the potency of the products to magnify to their fullest capacity. I utilize assistance from the Earth and the Sun to complete them.

Community & Mission:

What are you currently building, protecting, or devoted to that you’d love our community to know about?

I am a co-founder of Our Sacred Sanctuary, an Ayahuasca church. We are currently seeking legal recognition to become one of the few legally protected Ayahuasca churches in the United States, allowing us to continue serving our community through sacred ceremony.

We believe everyone deserves the freedom to pursue sincere spiritual practices. If you feel called to help us continue this work, I've included our GoFundMe below. Thank you for considering supporting our mission.

Norelle's dedication to presence, prayer, and the protection of sacred space for others is exactly the kind of devotion we are honored to stand behind. It is a rare and beautiful thing to feature a partner who shares our own Florida soil. Someone whose ceremonies, ingredients, and intentions are woven so closely into our own community. 

We invite you to explore Norelle's offerings at Katukina.us, such as the new Anointing Oil, in your own practice, and consider supporting Our Sacred Sanctuary as they work toward legal recognition for their ceremony.

Thank you, Norelle, for the heart you bring to this path — and for being part of the Katukina.us family.
