“My aim is to elevate the art of everyday objects - whether that be a hand-pinched ceramic bowl made with local micaceous clay; a hand-woven, hand-spun cotton blanket naturally dyed with plants; or a pair of slashed vintage Levi's stunningly mended with Sashiko stitching. When the most fundamental, common objects in one's environment - a bowl, a blanket, a pair of blue jeans - are true works of art and a space is filled exclusively with soulful items, something magical happens. A palpably serene energy, that is both incredibly soothing to the nervous system and enlivening for the senses, permeates an individual's experience of themselves and the world around them. There is a presence and connectivity that occurs, facilitated by the reverence these conscious objects inspire. The integrity of each object contributes to a holistic integrity in living. This all translates to a slowing down and cultivation of joy in routine. It's this intangible experience that I'm most interested in encapsulating and invoking for people.

I also wish to nurture self discovery, healing, and self care for anyone who desires to dive into the mysteries. I’ve personally been on a spiritual and healing path for the better part of a decade, and have learned a lot along the way (mostly that there is a lot more to learn!). And also, there is great value to self inquiry in community, with the support of gifted practitioners, and using a diverse array of techniques, and supportive tools. My perspective, as a humble student, is reflected in the product assortment you’ll find in-store, the healing arts practitioners we partner with, and the events + workshops we host.”
