adventures of a curious gardener + contemplative creative

this is a travel blog, of sorts. adventure, forays into creativity and new landscapes from one workshop and retreat enthusiast to those who share my passion for exploration and pilgrimage.

while i write about the things that catch my eye or touch my soul, it’s more than that.

it’s about showing up, even when it’s uncomfortable and hard.

it’s about giving yourself sanctuary when you need it.

it’s about being kind and playing nice in a world that doesn’t always seem to appreciate this way of being.

it’s about creating meaning and cultivating meaningful connections.

it’s about reminding myself that my love of, and need for solitude is critical to the creative process and for my life, that taking the time for quietude and contemplation is vital.

it’s about generosity and sharing fascinating finds as i pinball around the internet.

it’s about the full gamut of the human experience, from the sacred to the profane and from despair to…joy.

it’s about all of that being OK.
