One World. Many Stories.
Modern Hippie Culture
Hop in, there’s room in the van!
As kids, my brother and I rode through the mountains in a unicorn-decorated van, tagging along while our parents visited artists from their gallery and practiced mindfulness at Unitarian retreats. I didn’t know it then, but those ADVENTURES shaped how I see the world.
Life feels more conventional today, but I still have my #HippieHeart. I share THOUGHTFUL, bite-sized posts about art, nature, mindfulness, and family life from an open-minded perspective. If you love CREATIVITY, COMMUNITY, and MODERN HIPPIE CULTURE, you’ll feel at home here.
