'Gathering' offers thanks to the rich land, oceans and rivers for growing our food, the mindful hands who gather it, and the hearts who lovingly create with it.
I found myself deeply appreciating the ni-Vanuatu ladies wisdom of the land on our travels, and it planted seeds in my heart to a simple and aligned way of living, bonded with Mother Nature.
These works seek to remind us; it is the mindful process, not just the result, that deeply nourishes us in life.
Moments from our trip to Santo, Vanuatu
