Our Mission

The mission of Natural Rocknobs of Canada (www.naturalrocknobs.com) is to provide a daily, tactile reminder of our sacred connection to, and dependence on, a healthy earth by providing a wide selection of beautiful, natural, and durable rocknobs and products. May every touch be an affirmation of the sustainable choices we can make towards a healthy ecosystem on our beautiful planet.

Our Story

Greetings. My name is Maggie Hanna, the Stone Matron of Natural Rocknobs of Canada, I am also the Mother of an amazing young boy (pictured below), and in partnership with a wonderful man. Family is most important to me. My work experience includes 21 years as a professional geologist in both mineral and oil and gas exploration. Five years ago I made the transition from geology into my passion of helping people do the heart level detective work needed to remember the purpose and meaning of their lives, what we call Life Mission. Feel free to check out www.transitionsbychoice.com for more on that. I am also a GeoTran practitioner and I highly recommend this work for anyone who wishes to permanently and gently change the auto-pilot programs that run most of our lives. Check out www.thewayoftheheart.com for more on Life Mission and GeoTran. As I have followed my Life Mission to my current calling, I missed working with rocks and the earth, and that is why working with Natural Rocknobs brings me such joy.

The idea for Natural Rocknobs came in a meditation.  Every year since my son Scott was born, we have embarked on our "Mother and Son Summer Camping Trip" into the forests of Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. One morning in the summer of 2002, while camped beside the Kootenay River in British Columbia, I was engaged in morning meditation and practices while my son slept in the nearby tent.

I felt called to do the “Mother Earth Meditation” on the pebbly beach beside the river so I lay face down and began. It wasn’t 10 minutes later that, in an instant, the fully formed plan for Natural Rocknobs dropped like a penny into my mind – all the details in perfect clarity! WOW! Nothing quite like that had ever happened to me before. And the very beach I was lying on was a perfect source for the kind of stones that were needed for the project! So I began to gather them.

That is not to say that I haven’t been skeptical about the whole experience from time to time. I have had my doubts, challenges and fears moving forward with this project. Rocknobs were not a foreseen part of my Life Mission definition. My life mission is to “Forward planetary consciousness with respect to the integration of Science and Spirit, Ecology and Consciousness, and Life Mission with Every Human Heart.”

I now see how creating these stone knobs is a perfect vehicle to carry the “Integration of Ecology and Consciousness” part of my mission into the world. The capital generated from this project is earmarked to create a prototype eco-home. I will be documenting this experience on film in the form of a 6-part mini-series so the the knowledge can be shared with everyone. It will provide an integrated model of sustainable technologies for people to experience how truly possible it is to live a lifestyle that is elegant, beautiful, simple, practical and gentle on earth’s resources.

To make a long story somewhat shorter, I believe that the profound way the Natural Rocknob idea was planted in my mind is a sign that this is something I am called to do. Gathering stones has evolved into a spiritual attunement practice  offering service to, and asking permission from the beach and from each stone gathered. Holding a high intention for the work that each of these stones has offered to do has become an exercise in concentration on a higher ideal for us all.

And bonus – I no longer miss rocks! I truly hope that you experience these Natural Rocknobs as your own connection to the natural beauty that surrounds us.
