Abby Cahoone

Abby is a Shaman and Reiki healer (soon to be Reiki Master), and Guided Meditation teacher. She has been working with meditation and energy healing since 2013 and her main goal is to help open other people up to their own abilities and the power they hold within. After learning from spiritual teachers like Abraham- Hicks, Louise Hay, and Bentinho Massaro she changed the way she looked at things. She went from the victim mentality, to being a conscious creator and hopes to help other people learn the same! We have so much phenomenal power within us that when it is understood and focused correctly, we can change so much about the realities that we live in. Abby has experienced this firsthand and loves to help other people further understand this, and use the knowledge in their own lives!

Vivian J Reddin

I am....a writer, artist, sailor, speaker, advocate, and outgoing energetic woman with a passion of inspiring others to find what makes them want to keep going forward when life seems to have stolen their spirit. My younger brother and sister took their own lives at age 19 and 20, when I was only 22 and 26, living in Denmark, newly engaged, and starting my own adventure. Their deaths inspired me to never say no to a challenge, and to question authority when I felt that a vulnerable person was not being treated fairly with loving kindness.  My education took me to nursing, then occupational therapy, then counseling, then as a licensed therapist, and I am now working on my PhD in Health Psychology.When my mom died last year following a short 5-month battle with Pancreatic cancer, I decided I needed to find my center again, and because this was my 3rd [...]

Ardmore’s ‘The Great Zambezi’

2016 saw a landmark event for Ardmore as Hermès, Paris launched our designed silk scarfs. This is the first time a South African design has been used by Hermès and we view it as an incredible honour. To commemorate this event, we are creating major works to parallel the theme of ‘La Marche du Zambèze’. The collection is dedicated to Fée’s homeland, Zimbabwe, where the Great Zambezi River forms its northern borders. View these magnificent artworks at Patrick Mavros, 104 - 106 Fulham Road, London, SW3 6HS, from Wednesday, May 18 to Sunday, May 29. If you are interested in any of these pieces, click here!

Ardmore

Ardmore Ceramic Art was established by Fee Halsted on Ardmore Farm in the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains of KwaZulu-Natal, where she lived after obtaining her BA (Fine Arts) Honours degree and lecturing at Natal Technikon. Here she met Bonnie Ntshalintshali, daughter of their housekeeper, whose polio meant that she was unable to work in the fields.

Losing Someone Shapes Us – Each and Everyone

A Blog by Ana Bess. 365 days and 10,541,200 breaths since we lost you...Because losing you didn't just happen in that one moment when Ed called me on the phone today a year ago. It has meant losing you over and over again. Losing you every time I see a Red Sox t-shirt. Losing you when I hear Pearl Jam on the radio. I lose you in the moments before I fall asleep in tears, and in the moments when I awake and realize you've gone. And yet I keep finding you... I have found little notes you wrote me from years ago. Found you in old photographs. I have found you in replaying the years of memories we shared. In the people who we love. I have found you in your family and in our friends. I can always find you in Clyde. I always have you in my [...]
