Each objects’ shape, scale, density, texture, colour, malleability, and how you move and interact with them, enlivens different aspects of you and informs your experience. Objects metaphorically reference a system or organ within you, like bones or connective tissue. They also represent fundamental principles that inform your world such as fluidity, rhythm and time. Learning about these principles and how they are already living systems within you, is a powerful way to cultivate resilience and healthy living.
Where possible these tools are made from sustainably sourced, respectfully gathered, upcycled and preloved materials.
