After July 23rd’s New Moon a new chapter of your life will start. It’s already brewing now. Can’t you feel it? The Future is now because it is with our present thoughts and actions that we shape it. PS – Today’s photo of an artist working on her painting was shot yesterday at the Cultural […]

You don’t need external approval. People are often quick to judge but they don’t really know your situation, feelings and motives. Just remember that you are worthy; don’t doubt it. You don’t need to fit in anyone’s box. Do what you love but don’t push too hard. Have patience with yourself: this life is not […]

Some weeks ago I dreamed that we’d wake up one day, and we’d find that the sea had arrived close by our house. What was once a hill (we are living at 600 meters of altitude) was now an island, and all the valley underneath had been covered/flooded. There was sand on the shores, where […]

Relationships are no easy stuff. Even the best ones often get broken by the ego’s of one (or both) or the partners involved. For a couple to work well you need to have, first of all, a common/shared vision or plan. We like a quote (that we have used already before) from Antoine de Saint-Exupery: […]

This month’s photo was shot inside of Sanctuary of Joy’s new workshop which is also the place where Daniele creates ‘Plank Guitars’: musical instruments made with Love with reclaimed materials (old wooden floors, broken furniture, cookie tins, cigar boxes, etc) and using green electricity from solar panels. The most simple instruments made here, the Canjo’s, […]

What is our biggest struggle as human beings? It comes from within. It is our ego, our un-satiable restlessness: always hungry for something more, for something else; always afraid of the future, of not having enough; often jealous of what we see in others and always pushing us down in our hopes, cynically telling us […]

Welcome Summer! The quote of today’s art is from Rob Brezsny‘s most excellent “Pronoia” book and, with today’s heat and the Cancer month just begun, makes me think of all the un-necessary structures that our mind – aided by society’s conditioning – puts in place to make us always desire something more, something better, something […]

How long has it been since the last time you had good fun? We don’t mean the ‘forced’ type of fun that groups of acquaintances pretend to have at company meetings; we mean honest, relaxed, healing fun you shared with people you really care about – when everything was ‘flowing’ and spontaneous, when small, simple […]

What would you like to be remembered for, after you pass away? Is it for your forgettable work achievement, is it for how spotless your kitchen was? Is it for those sport trophy’s you won? Is it for the obligations you dealt with, letting the days slip by, always postponing the time for you and […]

Fortunes come and go; one lifetime is short and your dear ones grow up and age; today won’t come back if we don’t live it today. Then why so many people get distracted into ‘working’ and ‘producing’ so much, often for someone else? How much money do you really need to live a happy and […]

Each new moon (like the upcoming one on April 26th 2017) is the beginning of a new lunar cycle and it’s always the perfect moment to set your intentions for this upcoming period. Isn’t a prayer also a ritual for setting your intentions? We think a prayer should not be a passive cry for help; […]

We all have divine qualities, power and light within ourselves. You can recognize it, cultivate it and let it grow; or you can deny it and contract, staying stuck in fear. It’s not external circumstances that directly rob you of your shine; it’s whether you allow the thoughts – that rise within your mind in […]

Bees and bumblebees are in danger a bit all over the world due to pesticides, pollution and lack of spaces where they can safely nest. With them, we are in danger too: without the bees working for us pollinating flowers, a lot of the plants that we rely on for our food supply would simply […]
