Being in service to the collective consciousness of this planet has been a ever changing path I attempt to walk with grace. From consciousness expansion to the creation of InnerLight tallow, my mission drives all I do. Born of the stars I respond to them & I put intention into it all.

I come from Hungarian, Finnish and Romani people and I was raised with little means. Loving nature as I always have I learned to appreciate the depth of living “simply”, of utilizing what we had and or could get. My grandmother was brought to upper Pennisula of Michigan and coming from Finland where the family farmed to live, they were able to farm the cold lands (I say this with the awareness that they came on the tail coat of the colonizers that took, in manners of evil ways, over what is now called the US.

Working with my hands and creating has always been part of my existence and I was born of creatives souls this lifetime. Finding natural ways to live has always been a priority for me and how I tried to raise my children. Through all the guidance I receive I try to not question creative sparks, hence InnerLight was born! In a world being driven by a desire to make all artificial, remaining close to the land and natural ways is everything. I started by creating my own cooking tallow and moved into candles and skincare. Tallow is an amazing, otherwise discarded, part of animals. I work with small ranches to source the fat and hand render it all. It’s a beautiful alchemical process which allows for many creations. An extension of all my offerings- InnerLight has substance and purpose!

I work with intention and practice conscious business to my best ability. Where I source from is very important and I want to put my resources back into communities that work toward equity in a real manner. Quality matters especially in the fat I source- regenerative farming and only a100% grass fed beef suet fat. The herbs I don’t grow myself I our source from local farmers to the area ans I’m always seeking BIPOC farmers I can collaborate with. The essential oils I use of high quality and I try to source from the place of origin and fair trade. The products that use olive oil is from Seka Hills, Specialty Foods From The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, In the Capay Valley.

My wholesale accounts are with independently owned businesses I feel in alignment with in some manner…I put intention into this part of my business too.

I do not separate my morals and beliefs from my “business” and work very hard to be in right relationship with all aspects - i try and fail a lot and keep trying!

Blessings!

My healing work anaisszabo.com

I have been blessed this life time to have been guided by a few amazing teachers and in this space I would love to honor them. Martin Prechtel was really the first teacher I was able to commit to my deep healing; his teachings stirred my being so much i had no choice other than to search amidst my energy and conditioning, seeking my truths, seeking my ancestral truths, my origins and all the inbetween! I grew, my soul stretched and I. was able to open to the universe in ways I am intended. Martins teachings became a part of me and I am grateful for all the lessons.

Along my journey I came to work with Malidoma Patrice Some and again I threw myself into my density and I expanded into layers that would forever shift me. Malidoma held a strong energy in my reality and even with his cantankerous, cryptic ways he guided me to realms I was required to go. My journey took me to Burkina Faso with Malidoma and a group and in that experience linear time was demolished. We connected on time travel and vectors where our minds held consciousness in a similar fashion. He was adamantly clear to me that he was not my teacher, that no human was and many memories flooded back to me…
