I feel blessed having been invited into the embrace of Bali, the island of the Gods, for some years now. Being on this island is a deep journey of exquisite beauty, alive magic and infusion into a wild world of sensual ceremony. What I am meeting is a mirroring and enhancing of all the facets of my own inner sense of what is truly valuable in life. I am naturally inspired and creativity blossoms forth as a force of nature. In the midst of living life here; home-schooling my daughter Ayisha Temple, building Trinity Gardens, together with a man of deep wisdom, and continuing to work with my clients in Spirited Living - I also developed a collection of Spirited Products.
SPIRITED LIVING My ignited philosophy is that life, and death, is a mystical place where everything, really everything, is sacred. Being alive is like living in a temple where health, beauty, relationship and creativity is founded in the seeming counterparts of light & darkness. Where we have deep dark roots and wide wings of light. I have been feeling and experimented with rituals all my life. When I was a child it was a natural part of my play in nature and the way I felt magic. I loved to create beauty around me all the time.
Later, in the early nineties, I started developing “Spirited Living – The Wonder of Rituals�; as a way of life, and as my work. Ever since there is a clear and devotional unfolding of what rituals truly mean to me. It is about an open-ended feeling of this moment. It is the connection to the sensual elements and to the eternal spaciousness; the reality that is always here. It is about a relaxation into the textures of any given moment in daily life. It is about deeply listening and honestly feeling what truly is here. It is about being willing and brave to open to it all as a portal to transparency and love.
COLLABORATION I am collaborating with several different local artists who are helping me find ways to manifest my design ideas with recycled, local and organic materials. My connection with them does not only have a fair-trade base, but a joyous friendship and shared life.

We are developing these products in a slow natural way. We offer the pieces as a rememberance of real intimacy with the Earth and the gifts She gives, while honoring each other as creative human beings. For me, this is sustainability in every way possible.
RITUALS Daily life can be a natural ritual when we see, accept and create with all seeming counterparts. Darkness and light, simplicity and complexity, emptiness and fullness, freedom and love, man and woman – are all components of authentic human living and dying, of real unconditional beauty.

EVERY MORNING Every morning I walk through the rice-fields and jungle around the neighbourhood where we live. When I walk onto the path I let the elements around me touch all my senses and feel like there is a seeming surface between them. The elements and my senses. The meeting. The wind, the fire from the sun, the earth under my feet, the water trickling in the subak and the spirit of it all.
