Bio	Jesse began his career studying Traditional Chinese Medicine but became disillusioned by the institutionalized nature of the alternative medicine industry and dropped out. Instead, he followed the path of his family, becoming a sommelier and distiller where he obtained a diverse knowledge of distillation processes as well as soil types, regionality and farming practices. It was a health crisis in 2016 that brought him back into the fold of alternative medicine. Determined to learn more, he studied with a master herbalist in Northern NSW and Alchemical Masters internationally. It was through this experience where the heart of true healing was revealed to him through Alchemy. And it is this wisdom upon which Enki Apothecary was founded in 2017. Enki has come a long way since 2017. Today, Enki Apothecary produces an elevated range of organic skincare, spagyric herbal and mushroom extracts and aromatics, designed to be unparalleled in purity and potency. As the demand for Enki products has grown, Jesse’s dedication to quality and hand craftsmanship has remained strong. So instead of outsourcing production to meet increased demand, Jesse made significant investments to scale production by expanding our farm in Daylesford and building a brand new laboratory & processing facility. To this day, the majority of the botanical ingredients used in Enki’s products are grown and hand harvested on Enki’s biodynamic farm or wild harvested in local forests in Daylesford, Victoria. What cannot be grown on the farm is sourced from trusted partners in Daylesford and Mullumbimby and further afield for some of the specialist ingredients such as Chaga or Reishi which we wild harvest in the pristine Québécois Canadian wilderness.

Regulus Project

Project Description

In ancient Egypt, the star of Regulus illuminated the path of divine rulership, identifying those born with the sacred spark destined for greatness. Today, we revive this celestial legacy with the Regulus Project, a visionary endeavor set to redefine sacred spaces for the modern era.

The Regulus Project is not merely a temple; it’s a living embodiment of spiritual evolution, sustainability, and abundance. By embracing ancient wisdom, preserving and researching hermetic, alchemical and ancient lore and pioneering innovation, we are shaping a future where sacred spaces like Regulus serve as catalysts for individual and collective awakening. Join us on this extraordinary journey towards a world illuminated by the divine spark within us all.

Return of investment	The Regulus project has several avenues through which it can generate a return on invested capital (ROIC). Here’s how: Revenue-Generating Streams: Regulus will offer multiple revenue-generating streams such as event experiences, holistic health and herbal medicine offerings, and retail opportunities. Each of these streams has the potential to generate profits through ticket sales, product sales, and service fees. High Margin Operations: By leveraging sustainable practices and efficient operations, Regulus aims to maintain high-profit margins across its offerings. For example, the F&B program with a projected 350% margin on cost of goods can contribute significantly to overall profitability. Volume Growth: Anticipated increases in sales volume, driven by the strategic location and unique offerings of Regulus, will contribute to revenue growth and enhanced profitability over time. Cost Reductions: Through the transition to Bali, Regulus expects significant reductions in overhead costs, leading to improved operational efficiency and higher profitability. Brand Equity and Reputation: As Regulus establishes itself as a leading destination for holistic wellness and conscious living, it will build brand equity and reputation, attracting more customers and driving revenue growth. Market Expansion: With plans for future expansion and the creation of a global network of spiritual abundance nodes, Regulus has the potential to capture market share and further increase returns on invested capital. Overall, by combining revenue diversification, cost optimization, and strategic growth initiatives, Regulus aims to deliver attractive returns to its investors while making a positive impact on society and the environment.
