Meet the Makers Series

Everyday + Sacred + Alchemy with Dr. Arinn Testa of Route Five; exploring the five senses. The Sacred Alchemy Oils were birthed from her many years of neuroscience research, personal spiritual journey, and a tapestry of all the smells, textures, visuals, sounds, and tastes that left everlasting traces in her mind and body.  Her work is deep and reflective, sacred and scientific. We love her to pieces and are thrilled to share her story.

Join in the Mystery; through the magical lense of Artist and Photographer Misha Miller.  Her Mission: To step into the creative realms, to create art, and be in the magic and flow of the creative process together. To reveal our true natures and deeper stories we cary in our bodies and souls. 

I had the pleasure of interviewing small business owner Kelley Corten of The Royal Bee Yarn Company in Pacifica, CA.  Kelley shares with us her learning experience and joy of opening up a brick & mortar shop in Pacifica, CA and creating and launching her very own Sustainable Natural Fiber Yarn Line!

To kick off the series, I dive into my own questions and talk about starting up and getting going; the inspiration and challenges of building a dream. My hope is to share our complex experience of how small business entrepreneurs navigate the quest for creating art and business that brightens the world. 

It all starts with a dream..Its true!!  A day dream,  a fanciful thought, a wish, a true desire of what we want most; a sacred prayer for our life and what we want to offer to the world.  Then comes all the next steps of birthing that dream into life...and i love that part too!

I will be doing a series of interviews with these creators. How they got started and what they learned along the way.
