My Summer Collection is Coming!

I've been super busy working on my summer crystal collection called Elementals, and I'm so excited to unveil it at the beginning of July! Elementals is extremely inspired by the forces of nature - earth, air, wind and fire - while the name itself refers to the spirits of nature. I chose to shoot the collection's photos in picturesque Tofino, on the west coast of Canada.  Here's a very sneak peak of what to expect when the Elementals launches:

Do you feel worthy of connection?

Sometimes I put pressure on myself to connect with Nature in the way that I want to. I read epic stories of adventure, of spiritual connection, and of rebirth, that take place amongst the trees and ocean, and I want that for myself. 


On a muddy hike out to a secluded beach last Friday, I sat at the ocean, meditating, hoping to connect. And what the wind's whispers reminded me of, was that I am connection itself. I am a part of the land, I am a part of the waves, and really, I am a part of nature. Instead of pushing to feel worthy enough to be a part of nature’s epic party, I can now surrender to the fact that the trees and the creatures are, like the Native peoples before us have said, my brothers and sisters - we can never be separated.
