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.

Where creativity, community, & modern hippie culture come together.

Mountain Girl Meets Miami
Last month, I had the chance to take a trip to Miami. Since I’m a mountain and lake girl, I was ambivalent at first. When I arrived, I fell in love with the colors, palm trees, and diverse residents.
