About Us...
At Pillars of Light, we are dedicated to sharing sacred medicines and ceremonial tools that honor the wisdom of the Amazon. What began as a simple offering of Hapé has grown into a full apothecary of ceremonial herbs, tinctures, jewelry, and ritual items—each chosen with care, intention, and respect for the traditions they come from.
Our mission is rooted in reciprocity: to support healing, connection, and transformation while giving back to the Indigenous communities who keep these traditions alive. A portion of every purchase goes directly to the tribes and families we work with, helping sustain both culture and forest.
Get to know us
Verna carries the medicine of compassion, intuition, and gentle strength. Her mission is to create safe, loving spaces where people feel seen, held, and supported on their healing journey. Working closely with plant allies, she brings a soft yet powerful energy that helps others release emotional blockages and reconnect with their inner light. Verna bridges the sacred medicine of plants with the medicine of the heart—reminding us that healing is not only about cleansing, but also about receiving love, softness, and balance. Her presence is both grounding and uplifting, allowing those she works with to feel safe to open, heal, and transform.
Shane is a natural alchemist at heart, deeply connected to plants, animals, and the wisdom of the natural world. After experiencing death and returning to life, he emerged with a renewed purpose and deeper inspiration to serve. His mission is to teach through the smaller plant allies first—the gentle medicines that bring balance, clarity, and connection—before guiding seekers toward the greater master plant spirits.
This step-by-step path allows people to build a strong foundation, learning to listen with their hearts and souls before meeting the more powerful spirits of the forest. Shane draws on the teachings of plant and animal allies, tribal knowledge, and energy healing to create ceremonies that open the heart, cleanse the spirit, and deepen connection with the Earth. His own rebirth fuels his devotion to helping others find light, healing, and renewal.
Together
Together, Shane and Verna have created Pillars of Light as more than a shop—it is a sacred bridge between cultures, plants, and people. A space where ancient traditions are honored and modern seekers can connect with authentic medicines and ceremonial tools.
Their vision is to share sacred, ethically sourced offerings while inspiring others to walk their path with respect, integrity, and heart.
Join us on the journey. Explore our offerings of sacred Hapé, ceremonial items, and plant medicines, and walk with us in honoring the spirit of the Amazon.
