My Sacred Intentions...

LOVING AWARENESS

love everyone and everything

YOU ARE LOVING EVERYTHING

Blessed being on this journey of love, coming home to love. You melt into the loving awareness of existence. YES ! Here you are, in this wholesome space of loving everything, and everyone. 

I intend on living every moment in the vibration of loving awareness.

In everything I can do,

I can navigate from a place of love.

Although not always the easiest form to embody, it has been a life long journey and will continue to be as I learn to embody this vibration deeper every day. 

 

MAGICAL AUTHENTICITY

baby you're a star !!

I trully belive that what connects us is our authentic expression. When someone is being true you cant't help but to love them just as they are... is that just me? I guess looking at the world with loving eyes gives you this, but truly what a gift to be your authentic self!

 

EARTH STEWARDSHIP

 The proceeds from anything purchased from the creation of Alejandra goes towards the protection of forest, water sheds and wildlife. With every piece shared, purchased and welcomed a new tree of wilderness protected areas comes into the project, as the galleries grow the forest does too.

The seeds of these trees have been planted in protected land by the tribe family in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, this is sacred forest, with the veins that feed the oceans and the valleys, gushing down from those snowy peaks, into blistering Caribbean heat. Waterfalls and cascades formed by the ancient grandfathers and grandmothers. They say she is running dry, these veins have gone from artery to spider veins. Drying up from the miss treatment of the eco systems down by the ocean shore. The circuit of water from the mountain peaks to the ocean side lagoons is what keeps the faucet on in this hot tropical weather. Little brother has destroyed this process.

Little brother dug out the lagoons, and created shipping yards and ship ports. 

Little brother rapped the earth, the eco system, the people of their right to live in harmony. Little brother didn't think about the impact, with money signs in their eyes all they could see was that greed was out to win.

We live with the choices that little brother made,

by standing by, we too are making a choice., 

a choice that says we agree to the greed. 

I choose to live to the best of my abilities in harmony with Gaia

I am in harmony with myself, I am in harmony with all. 

Let's heal her together.

 The "campesinos" are not too worried about these water sources and buy land to clear cut and plant crops with the use of harmful chemicals, buying land here for conservation is very important for maintaining a water source that feeds a large portion of the Colombian population. The project will continue to grow as we can purchase more land for conservation and expand into other regions of the world. 

That is why your support of these creative projects is actually a huge support for GAIA! Please if you work with other land conservation organizations or have questions make sure to reach out to us! 

 

- I have done extensive research on the possibilities of this medium and I value and make sure that all "art products" are created in an environmentally sound harmonious practice. I acknowledge that due to some mediums we are choosing to participate in the play of "capitalism"- lets relish in playing the part of the earth keepers embodied. -

REPERPOUS

REPURPOSE RECYCLE REUSE

I am a conscious creator. I think about the material that i use, and why i use it. where it comes from. I lean into found objects, upcycling packaging into something new, art.
