About
Fynbos Incenses
Our ethos embraces using natural “animated” ingredients as wellbeing agents, while being KIND to all Nature, of which we as humans are an integral part. Our products were developed to meet my own, family and others – clients and customer needs for wholistic wellness of bodymindspirit, through easy-to-use daily life affirming practices, tools, and products.
My ecosystemic thinking means I see the Universe as a communion of subjects encompassing Nature as teacher, as guides, as knowledge holders which expands my seeing thro new eyes perspectives to embrace the wisdom that surrounds us, resulting in inclusion and interconnectedness and NOT man dominance and separation through the collection of inanimate things/objects made by man.
This extract sums up our ethos: “The thorns of the Ziziphus mucronate are spaced along the length of every branch in pairs. One pair points robustly outwards and forward while the other curves back and inwards in the opposite direction. The Nguni African legend says the thorns tell us something about ourselves – that we must look ahead to the future … but we must never forget where we have come from.”
Extract from Ecological Intelligence – rediscovering ourselves in Nature by Ian McCallum.
Our FynBos Incenses “ Social Eco-Warrior Activist Business” embraces and creates awareness through teaching women empowerment related to wellbeing (incl. financial, health, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects) via Re-connection and “Re-newing your nature through Nature”. FynBos Incenses exists to build strong, resourced, and conscious future generations of women(men) through creating and celebrating well-resourced women – the carriers and custodians of our future generations, main caregivers of children, the elderly, and disabled persons, and important decision-makers in families, income earners plus more. Women are the heroines, so supporting them empowers them to embrace their gifts and contribution thus righting the natural balance and load-sharing “tensegrity”, with their men, and within their communities and the world.
Being a practical person led to ”functional art” through our choice of containers, packaging, and process. The outcome is applying mindfulness and intentionality while making handcrafted artisanal products, with love, to enhance overall bodymind and Nature embracing, embodied wellbeing, in a safe and nature friendly way, which is KIND to all life.
Our tagline says it all “Re-new your nature, thro’ Nature”, a generous enveloping embrace, the gift that keeps on giving.
Fynbos Incenses is a woman founded and managed artisanal FynBos Incenses crafting collective. A Proudly South African “ Business for Good” based on socio-environmental-wellbeing principles of conditions conducive to Life. Celebrating women and Nature’s gifts, guides our intentional operating ethos of:-
- We choose hand harvested materials sourced from indigenous Fynbos botanicals produced on farms in Western Cape, South Africa rendering 100% pure, natural, and wild-crafted single origin Fynbos essential oils with authentic, complex herbaceous therapeutic aromas. Used as single aromas and/or complementary combinations.
- We choose locally sourced sustainable and eco-friendly beeswax that adds to the fynbos aromas holding ability and hence throw of the fynbos aroma while extending the burn time of our melts/candles which clarify and detox the air.
- We choose high-quality non-GMO soy wax that provides a stable, smokeless, and pure base.
- We choose natural eco-friendly ingredients which are lovingly, selectively and mindfully sourced and combined by hand with LOVE, HEART, and EARTH’s heroine gifts. .
- We choose product containers, which are functional, eco-friendly, recyclable, reusable.
- We choose product packaging, which is eco-friendly, compostable, recyclable, up cyclable.
- We choose to be minimalistic in our earth footprint/handprint and waste creation.
“loadshedding” – in our South African context means when our electricity is turned off according to a predetermined rotating schedule to appropriately manage the country’s electricity demand and supply, this can be as extensive as 12+ hours in 2.5 – 4.5 hours per time period, depending on demand and supply-reserves. This ongoing scenario has meant that South Africans schedule their daily activities to coincide with access to electricity supply. There have been many consequences to private, public and our economy AND the upside being that South Africans are adaptable, flexible, and creative so we have mostly made this
Consider how “you choose to be” during these enforced “loadshedding” events? I personally use the scheduled “loadshedding” esp. during my waking day to schedule my own “loadshedding” example: downtime, reflection, time in Nature, self-care activities. This time results in everything becoming quiet without the background electrical hum so the sounds of Nature become more pronounced, melodic and my whole bodymind systems expresses a sigh of relief and “letting go” of that which no longer serves my highest good.
FynBos Incenses products are perfect for these “loadshedding” occasions as they provide a combination of light-on-the-go and/or light + aroma-on-the-go or aroma-on-the-go. Being easily transportable in functional containers and handmade with love from eco-friendly ingredients means they induce and support the “loadshedding/ letting-go” of that which no longer serves your best and highest interests, and they can be used 24/7/365 anywhere and anytime, being in right relationship, KIND to and respectful of all Nature, of which we humans are a subject within this animate ecosystem.
We invite you to enjoy our FynBos Incenses tangible and accessible unique South African “Local is Lekker” products. These are dispersed within South Africa and globally, as they are easily transportable, life friendly products which appeal to teenagers and adults of all ages, from diverse backgrounds, and cultures, as people can choose to interact with them in many ways including burning for fun, relaxation, to invoke a specific mood, or embracing FynBos’s diverse wellbeing benefits, or for ceremonial or celebratory reasons.
