Meditation meets art, in real life.

This is a space where art and meditation come together. We handmake minimalist traditional and Buddhist-style malas.

These are real tools for spiritual growth.

All our items are handmade to order, with love, from Canada.

About the shop

Opening this shop, much like starting my holistic practice, has come from love. It’s about personal growth on my journey to keep going, to embrace my light.

What lights us up and gives us energy is alignment, it’s information, it’s truth. I find that I can’t continue to exist and not be seen, not be me.

I have always been making art, crafting. I love to create, and I put my love in what I make. I started cross stitching when I was 9, learned to knit at 11, learned how to make jewellery in my teens, and how to crochet and knot pearls in my early 20s. I still paint watercolours and acrylics.

I didn’t know it at the time as a child, but making art with my hands was my meditation. It’s what helped me to regulate and process life; it still does.

As I deepened my meditation, yoga, and reiki practices over the last 15 years, life started to come more and more into alignment. So what you’ll find here is a mix of my artsy side and the healing, the handmade and the Eastern wellness teachings/practices. 

Each work is a meditation, an invitation to slow down and focus. It’s a reminder to meditate, and that meditation practices can look different ways.

Meditation meets art, in real life.

With love,

Dorothy
