Our Origin Story
2020
Abigail started to work with Graphic Designer and Artist Maddy Rose Stocking as Abigail conceived of the multi-media exhibition, Energy, which focused on the idea of living in healing, happiness and balance on earth.
60 people from all walks of life were interviewed and photographed over a period of 3 years – in Chicago and globally. They included a world-renowned surgeon, integrative doctors, healers, artists, dancers, teachers, farmers, chefs and best-selling authors – amongst many others. Excerpts of their empowering and sometimes life changing and truly miraculous stories were woven as audio pieces and quotes throughout the show.
The show had a strong spiritual component. Eden Healing Co-Founder Rashmi Banthia joined Abigail on a sacred quest to India in 2022 to explore the idea of finding heaven on earth as this idea of a “heavenly world” was the basis of the show. This led to Rashmi creating a beautiful immersive Indian installation for the show.
Energy – the event - invited the audience into a magical wonderland of portraits, immersive set pieces, art, audio clips, quotes, live music, dance and a live magic show. Beautiful fresh food was served to over 500 guests. It was truly magical, mystical and uplifting – designed to awaken the idea of community and miraculous thinking. For one night only, people were invited to let go of their worries and feel sheer joy. And they did!
After the show, Abigail continued to work quietly on her product range. This quickly took on a life of its own as Maddy brought the products to life via her filmic vision – with imaginative, joyful and whimsical labels and branding and a unique website. Rashmi came on board as a visionary Co-Founder and the lifestyle brand Eden Healing was born.
This was created with the desire to bring joy, balance, a healthy lifestyle and miraculous thinking to the world. Eden Apothecary is a branch on this tree of harmony. Coming soon will be Eden Scents, Eden Retreats and Conferences and more multi layered cultural events. Saira Mohan has joined the team as our North American Ambassador.
