We are Laurel Draper and Celine Cuevas, our mission is to create, to inspire, to support, to love. Our intention for 2016 is coming into focus....
A community gift exchange. You are a gift. I am a gift. We both carry gifts with us, perhaps the very thing I am in need of, you contain inside of you. And vice versa. Let us come together, let us feel free to share, to express, to let our hearts speak
to each other. What is your gift, your passion? Is it knowledge? Is it creativity? Imagination? Ideas? Art? Who are you, and what is it inside of you that is begging to be seen, to be expressed? Every person has value, exactly as they are right in this moment. Every person has something equally different and unique to offer in any given moment. All is of value. This has been a tough one for me personally to see and accept within myself, and so I strive to see and accept this in everyone else – reflections of my own true nature. It is our combined passion and intention to unite people in such a way as this – through love, support, creative self-expression and community. We provide a radiant palace of exploration – a space filled with beautiful art, decor, art supplies and instruments – tools to please the senses and inspire the mind. An altar to hold sacred space, blankets and pillows to provide comfort, ecclectic furnishings and fabrics to create the walls, all contained under a large, practical tent. Wild-crafted herbal teas are available throughout the day for all who come to join us. We offer tea ceremony, tea tastings and herbal consultants – a way to give back, sharing the knowledge that we have acquired through several years of study. We include a whiteboard out the front, with the schedule of our intended knowledge sharings and tea ceremonies. We call upon the public to fill in the blank spaces...welcoming anyone who wishes to share knowledge or a skill into our space. Our space is intended to feel like a home – unconditionally loving and accepting of all who enter. We provide the space, the tools, the inspiration, and you-the people-provide the magic!
