🌿 A Quiet Moment Within the Energy: Body Mind Spirit Celebration Recap

Published 24 days ago • 1 min read

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to be part of the Body Mind Spirit Celebration in Cincinnati.

Events like these are always a beautiful mix of conversations, shared stories, and moments of discovery. But within all of that, what I continue to seek — and hope to offer — is something quieter.

A moment to pause.
A moment to breathe.
A moment to simply be.

✨ The Weave of Life — Created Together

One of the most meaningful parts of the weekend was the creation of a community Weave of Life piece.

Over 50 people participated in building it — each person adding their own small piece, their own moment of intention, their own presence to the work. Watching it grow throughout the weekend was incredibly moving.

What began as individual moments slowly became something collective — layered, interconnected, and alive with shared energy.

There is something powerful about creating side by side with others, even in silence. No pressure, no expectation — just the act of showing up and contributing.

🌱 A Reminder of Connection

Each piece added to the Weave is simple on its own. But together, they form something much greater — a visual reminder of how we are all connected, even in passing moments.

To everyone who participated — whether you created, observed, or simply shared space nearby — thank you.

Your presence is part of the piece.

And that is what makes it meaningful.

It was great to be at GROW WIWO Conference in Fort Wayne yesterday! I had the opportunity to share Weave of Life Project with attendees in a hands-on way—inviting people to slow down and create their own small pieces. A number of those pieces will be incorporated into the larger installation, which makes the work even more meaningful.There’s something powerful about creating, especially in the middle of a busy day. It naturally reduces stress, helps you reset, and allows you to absorb more of...

The studio is in transition once again. As part of preparing our current house to be listed, I’ll be moving out of my current studio setup and into a temporary workspace for the next little while. The new studio in the new house isn’t quite ready yet, so I’ll be creating a smaller, more simplified setup in my apartment while renovations continue. It’s not the ideal or final space—but it’s a space to keep going. There may be a short pause as everything gets packed up and moved, but my...

Each panel in Weave of Life carries its own story. While the installation is meant to be experienced as a whole, sometimes it helps to slow down and look closely at a single piece. This panel brings together fabric, encaustic wax, and a gel print on paper. Each material holds its own history and energy. The fabric introduces texture from reclaimed pieces of samples that once lived another life. The gel print is a memory created with my sister-in-law, Liz, introducing me to geli prints for my...
