GIVING FOWARD & STAYING IN MOTION.

The “Rising” in White Pine Rising is there for a reason. It is meant as a reminder for staying in motion — action, progression, evolving — and that extends to keeping monetary gains in motion as a business. I believe in cycling proceeds back into our precious communities.

Since March 2021, White Pine Rising has been actively setting up monetary offerings to groups that are creating positive social and environmental change in the world. You will find an emphasis on various marginalized communities, who are often the driving force behind better ecological conservation and social progression on behalf of us all.

So far with your support in my business, we’ve been able to give forward to:

Sliding-Scale Pricing

Sliding scale pricing is based on an honor system that offers better accessibility around herbalism, while also making sure that the producer is fairly compensated for labor.

We use systems like these to honor the lineage and values of herbalism within collective care. We use systems like these to strengthen community resilience, to use our privileges and skills to help one another, to resist systemic oppression under capitalism and honor the necessary interdependence for collective growth. When you hear phrases like "herbalism is the people's medicine," this is what we mean!

If you can afford the higher tier, this allows both you & I to be able to offer more “Supported” pricing for those who need it. Investing in the highest tier is a dependable way to support my efforts in continuing to slowly build excess revenue for redistribution into herbal mutual aid or funding local orgs, especially during crisis — because we will always be the ones who come to our own aid. This tier option is a low-risk yet highly impactful way to invest in our communities.

**Sliding scale is currently only offered for tincture formulas since these can be costly while being the most needed. Check the drop down menu options to learn more!
