1. ” Life can shift in an instant. And no one knows this better than artist Adarsha Benjamin. The mother to-be, image maker, and lover of life’s beauty will debut a collection of analog photographs dedicated to the ebb and flow of living in the moment. We recently caught up with her to dive deeper into the motivation behind her work, learn more about the series and her inspiration as an artist. “

  11. Its takes great courage to have an idea in the first place, let alone to speak it out loud, write it down, and further more, MAKE IT HAPPEN. It takes even more courage when your mission is entirely motivated by Love. This is action. This is the movement towards PEACE. This is what it takes to remedy the pains that surround us and inhabit us.. If we judge this in others, we reflect the same problems in the world that have led us to war and poverty. SUPPORTING the Peace & Love 

    in our selves, and in those around us is the first step we can all take to start healing the world which holds us up by our feet…. If we find that it feels uncomfortable, there is probably something there is heal. and I see no better time to heal these things within yourself because this life is endlessly precious, mysterious, and fragile and we all become bones scattered in the wind, so Make the VERY MOST of your existence.
    THINK LIKE THE SUN> THE WILD FLOWERS THE TREES AND THE MOON…..
    Our greatest teachers, our most noble gurus. They do one thing, they shine bright, and they grow towards the light. We are no different as human beings. We are meant to do the same. For ourselves, and for those who have always loved us.
    For LOVE, itself.
