We are a diverse organization and strong proponents of equity and inclusion for all. TLTP employs and regularly subcontracts many people from all nations in its day-to-day operations, and continues to create opportunities for suppliers and the community at large in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, TLTP has earned a reputation as a trusted supplier\u00a0of\u00a0whole leaf\u00a0organic Semah (for ceremony only), Sweetgrass, Sages,\u00a0and\u00a0other\u00a0dried herbs, shells, smudge bundles, feathers,\u00a0and other ceremonial tools,\u00a0Indigenous art and gifts, orange shirts, &amp; lots more.<\/p>\n<p>For years we watched good people struggle with uncertainty about the availability, cost, quality &amp; source for their ceremonial medicines &amp; tools. We made it our mission to become a trusted source for these products. We believe this care &amp; concern for quality &amp; respect for the plant world allows us to offer the level of excellence that our customers have come to expect.<\/p>\n<p>We\u00a0are located on 10 acres of mostly\u00a0forest\u00a0in Clayton, Ontario. We don\u2019t have a physical store, per se, just rooms full of shelves and bins. We operate by appointment for pick-up, and\u00a0are mainly a mail-order company.
