House Constitution
The House of ST. MARIE & CO. exists as a modern institution devoted to the pursuit of vitality, refinement, and plant-based living.
Cultural institution, not merely commerce
The House exists to cultivate a community devoted to the advancement of plant-based living, modern luxury, and thoughtful human flourishing. The House shall foster environments, experiences, and products that encourage vitality, reflection, and the responsible stewardship of one's health and surroundings. The House exists not merely as a provider of goods or services, but as a cultural institution dedicated to elevating how individuals live, gather, and nourish themselves.
Plant-based living as foundation
The philosophical foundation of the House is rooted in plant-based living — a way of life that honors nourishment derived from whole, plant-origin foods and mindful lifestyle practices. Members are encouraged to pursue this philosophy with discipline, respect for scientific understanding, and an openness to continual learning. The House recognizes that the pursuit of vitality is an individual journey, and participation is undertaken voluntarily and with personal responsibility.
Dignity, discretion, and intellectual curiosity
The House shall uphold a culture defined by dignity, discretion, intellectual curiosity, and mutual respect. Members and stewards of the House are expected to conduct themselves with integrity and to contribute to a community that values civility, hospitality, and thoughtful exchange.
These principles are intended to remain constant, providing continuity of purpose for generations to come.
Any amendment, revision, or modification to the Constitution or the House Oath shall rest solely within the authority of the Board of Directors of ST. MARIE & CO.
