about lucia hawkins:
Biologist, educator, unrelenting seeker, mystic, writer, steward to the earth, kin to hawk and moss, friend to all dogs, adventurer, restless maker. Cancer sun, Sag moon, Sag rising. Southeastern PA native returning home after 20 years in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Vermont and quite a few wanderings to the westerns US.
I birthed Meraki in 2016 as love letter and as a model for one of the many ways our daily lives can be life affirming protests, powered by personal choice and dedication to community. Forever a daughter of the earth and lifelong observer, I weave together lessons from the natural worlds and richly diverse ecosystems, cosmic natural law, studies of ecology/ trauma recovery/medicine, many years of direct life experience and continued learning. Meraki offerings include medicinal soaps, nourishing self care essentials, home & preventative health items, with a focus on supports for the nervous system and tools for emotional regulation and psychospiritual journeys.
My biggest measure of success is that the Farmacy continues to be an accessible, safe space to land and rest amidst a rapidly evolving world. Together through community action and digital platforms we are exploring and practicing ways of harm reduction in the pursuit of more moments of wholeness for people, plants, places and communities.
