Sacred Vibes Apothecary

Sacred Vibes Apothecary is established in 2009 a place of connection in our community (Flatbush, Brooklyn,NY). Our mission is to provide access to plant medicine to improve quality of life with the deep understanding that spiritual and physical healing are intertwined. Sacred Vibes has educated and empowered herbalists, families and individuals for 15+ years, with over 600 apprentices and 6500+ students worldwide.

The vision for Sacred Vibes began in Karen’s spirit. She wanted to create a space where people could gather, speak on what was coming up for them and be met with empathy, consideration and positive vibes (hence our name!).

As an Afro-Caribbean immigrant in Brooklyn, NY, Karen understood what it felt like to be disconnected from ancestral medicines, nature and self and was determined to play a role in helping individuals connect back to these things.

We pride ourselves with being knowledgeable, empathetic, socially aware, black spiritual herbalists. Spirit is included in everything that we do! Our medicines are made to affect spiritual change first and then physical change. As a family owned and operated brand, we seek to spread joy and share warmth through our products and individual interactions.

“The shelves at Sacred Vibes Apothecary hold a bounty of medicinal roots and herbs. On one wall, the names of spices and botanicals sound like Harry Potter potion ingredients: wormwood, shepherd’s purse, myrrh gum, and mugwort. Another wall is stocked with specially crafted elixirs and tinctures designed to reduce stress, curb insomnia, and increase passion. It’s the work of proprietor and master herbalist Karen Rose, whose mission is to inspire more people to embrace curative plants. At her Brooklyn, New York, boutique there’s a constant flow of neighborhood residents interested in and curious about her dizzying selection of oddly named aromatics and colorful resins. Ask Rose about almost any plant or root and she can discuss its composition and full spectrum of therapeutic properties from memory.”
— Chana Garcia, Black Enterprise
“Dragon’s blood incense, musky and sweet, burns from an altar. The rich smoke wafts across an 18th-century Bible and through shimmering peacock feathers, mingling in midair with hundreds of allies: roasted dandelion root, Irish moss flakes, horny goat weed, astragalus.

The result is something of a sensory Olympiad, with colors and textures — orange and red powders, purple and black tonics — competing with scents that are at once bitter, sweet, spicy, earthy.”
— Noah Rosenberg, The New York Times
“Karen is contemplative and soulful about her calling as an herbalist. After all, it is a spiritual experience. She describes herself as a “consistent student” who studies the practice of the use of plants. Her work and studies span well over twenty years, originating with the practices of her grandmother while growing up in Guyana.”
