They adore Mother Nature and their life is marked by the cycle of the Moon. Le "Sisters of the Valley" They are entrepreneurs and passionate cannabis growers whose mission is to heal the world with their herbal preparations based on CBD.
"There is nothing CBD can't cure - says Sister Kate - It's a gift from Mother Earth, come on powerful healing effects, cultivated for millennia in indigenous cultures".
Oils, capsules, ointments, creams and tinctures. All produced by hand and following the lunar cycles, a pivotal point in the life of Californian nuns, so much so that they mark birthdays, celebrations, prayers and gathering times.
Cannabis and traditional medicine: a combination not to be underestimated
"We don't tell people who use our products to give up traditional medicine - underlines the sister - We believe in holistic theories but doctors have the better equipment".
An example, as Sister Kate reminds us, are those with oncological problems who use their products during chemotherapy treatments.
"If you have cancer and are undergoing chemo, our capsules pure cannabis oil they will help you overcome it as best as possible, reducing its side effects. Hair loss, loss of appetite, the tingling sensation of the skin which is reduced with our conditioner etc."
"Sisters of the valley": a social revenge for all women
"We separate the seeds from the harvest, package them and sell them, hoping that the women from all over the world can grow it on their balcony or in their backyard, helping us understand how this plant can heal people."
The question arises, "Why women?".
"We believe in deep connection between women and the energy of the moon. Just as women are connected to it we honor them, because after millennia of submission the time has come to honor them", he concludes with a solemn tone. "Men can grow grass, but they will do it in the way decided by women".

The mission of the "Sisters of the valley"
“We want our medicines and products to arrive all over the world. We are establishing ourselves in every corner of the continent with independent, women-led businesses,” underlines Sister Kate.
The dream is slowly becoming reality. It seems that the Californian nuns have started a real movement. Crossing the Californian borders they have already reached Brazil, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the Scandinavian countries and Mexico.
A project whose economic gain does not go unnoticed. Starting from 2015 with only twelve seedlings, it is estimated that in 2018 sales came close to million dollars. But it doesn't end here.
A new religious movement?
They dress like nuns, call themselves sisters and take vows, but are not associated with any religious movement, they want to create one.
"Our greatest mission - explains Sister Kate - is to give to people an alternative to Christianity, with its patriarchal structure."
Organizing their lives according to the lunar cycle, following eight fundamental principles which are based on love and care for each other and love for the planet. Living, working and praying together. Taking the votes.
"We go back to our ancestors", he concludes, "Like the first nurses in the castles of Europe in the 19th century they grew hemp, produced cannabis medicines, created textiles, ran farms, and ran shops within the castle.”
