About me
My name is Daniel Clark. I was born in southern New Jersey. I grew up wrestling and went on to study biology.
After college and a decade-long career in fitness, I began shifting my focus away from performance as appearance/accomplishment and toward performance as relationship—specifically, a bond with nature.
The Land
That path led me west to the Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico, where I now live on an off-grid homestead with my wife.
It’s in a daily relationship with this land that I explore, write, and create. This land is my teacher. The terrain, climate, and materials shape the work as much as I do. What’s created here is not imposed—it’s guided by nature's intelligence.
The Process
Learning from the land led me into years of apprenticeship in herbalism and alchemy, which included working closely with a mentor and refining the craft through experience.
I'm dedicated to hand-gathering the key raw materials myself, with care and respect for the land.
​
Each formulation is created through multi-step, earth-aligned processes—some taking months, others years—to reach completion.
The Offering
This craft is both a personal path of learning and an offering to others.
​
The formulations and publications are designed to deepen one’s physical, mental, and spiritual bond with nature—because it is through that relationship that we begin to see clearly, act with direction, and feel/perform our best.
The Work
Over time, we forge a more integrated type of performance: one that allows nature's radiance to shine through us, fueling our life's work.​ I call this work Spiritual Performance.
Thank you for being here, and may this work enrich your life as it has mine.
