EXPLORING THE MEDITTERANEAN
The next chapter is unfolding
A Quiet Exploration Season
Maitri Verde is currently on an exploration mission to the Mediterranean. I’m traveling through Italy to work closely with plants, local distillers, and the landscapes that will shape the next chapter of my work.
This journey includes time in Calabria during the winter bergamot harvest, where I’m meeting with local growers and distillers and deepening my relationship with this remarkable plant — one already present in almost all True Self Aroma oils.
This is a season of listening, learning, and allowing what wants to emerge to take form naturally.
​
Why the shop is resting
All products are handcrafted with meticulous attention to details such as purity, intention and highest frequency. Rather than making and shipping products from afar, the online shop is taking a brief pause during my travels so future offerings can return grounded, intentional, and fully attended to.

Join me in Calabria in February
I’m considering a small, week-long experience in Calabria in mid to late February, centered around Bergamot: exploring its history, harvesting and distilling with local growers and working with the freshly distilled oil on emotional healing. We will explore the area with its incredible history, food, wine and landscapes. If this resonates with you and you’d like to learn more, please email me directly anna@maitriverde.com.
​
Looking ahead
I’m also planning an intimate wellness retreat in Tuscany in late spring. More details will be shared as it takes shape.
​
Thank you for honoring this rhythm of travel, curiosity, and renewal. Maitri Verde will return soon!

Sincerely,
