Potcast 160: Weed Nuns - Sisters of the Valley
How ‘bout this 2020 season finale? In an effort to clear my head and raise my vibration, I hit the open road for a day trip to the Central Valley to meet Sister Kate. The weed nuns known as Sisters of the Valley are activists on a mission to heal the world through plant-based medicine. The sisterhood honors a mix of cultures, beliefs, rituals, and perspectives to create best practices that serve all living beings in our modern times. Sister Kate and Jo discuss being in the hemp and cannabis business and the importance of elevating females in places of power and decision making. This potcast also explores the structure of religion and society.
Remember on Potcast 157 when Crystal said, “Your inspired action is the most powerful and important thing you will ever do.” Sister Kate is a perfect example. She’s also a real straight-shootin’ pistol which makes me even more excited to share our chat.
Kumbaya and cannabis,
Jo
‘After the Show’ Notes
The Sisters of the Valley work together, pray together, and dress to identify their enclave. Nestled in the impoverished but agriculturally rich Central Valley, their order creates honorable jobs in the community and sells organic health-enriching products all over the world. All of their products are hand-made by women taking the plant from the ground, turning it into medicine in a craftsman-like way in a spiritual environment. The Sisters of the Valley medicine-making is guided by ancient tradition, with care and respect for the earth.
After life-uprooting events, Sister Kate found herself living in the middle of California’s Central Valley, where plants abound and jobs are sparse. She was determined to create work and leadership opportunities for more women like her. And looked to the state’s newest, most interesting industry with optimism.th In the Fall of 2009, she founded a non-profit cannabis collective and opened for business in 2010. Sister Kate began serving CBD medicine to local terminal patients. She developed teas and tinctures for patients to experience its healing effects without needing to smoke.
After three years of service, Sister Kate was moved to both help more women and share the medicine with more people who needed it. That’s when Sisters of The Valley was born. During the Harvest Moon of 2014, she developed the first line of Sisters of the Valley products.
