Artifacts
Objects that inspire reflection (and remind us)
because we don’t learn this stuff once
This is a collection of artifacts. Objects whose design and production resulted from years of formal and informal exchanges with people who were not afraid to confront themselves, face up to their own actions, and keep growing their own practice of personal evolution.
All of the artifacts speak to the idea of emotional wisdom, the intersection of heart and head. We want you to be able to purchase these for yourself and for others because we don’t learn this stuff once.

Consider encourages self-discovery. There is no right or wrong way to explore it and interact with it. Read it. Feel how it moves you and who you may become as a result.
What resonates today may or may not have significance tomorrow. You can start with the Conversations because they’re the stories of people you may relate to. You may want to drop deeply into one of the Considerations, then drop deeper still. You might decide to pick one of the Contemplations and read the poetry. Perhaps you choose to skip the reflection on the poem, and instead just sit with it and then ask yourself your own questions. Throughout the artifact there are Collaborations—photography, poetry, and images shared from community in acknowledgment of their belief in this body of work and the impact it has had on each of them.
