Alex Kim 
​SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIST & CONTENT CREATION

In today’s infinite landscape of technology, the essence of human connection is vital in our well-being and societal movement. Whether through a screen or face-to-face, our connections are the threads that weave our collective experiences. Digital platforms empower us to deepen our connections, establish new ones, and foster unity across cultures through channels that were once beyond our reach.

Alex is a recent graduate holding a BS in business administration and marketing, she specializes in social media advertising, video-making content, data analysis, and consumer behavior trends. As a visionary of empowerment and sustainable connection, Alex practices visual storytelling on social media that resonates with people from diverse backgrounds, bridging the gap between digital presence and human connections. She creates a space where people can feel heard, seen, and valued. She believes that bringing different communities together through an ever-growing channel can foster a sense of belonging and affinity.

HUMAN DESIGN •  MOVEMENT

Let’s talk about YOU… on a soul level.  I’m talking a blueprint of how your energy flows and your completely unique blend of gifts, callings and challenges. I’m talking about your Human Design.
​
Human Design is a highly sophisticated system that merges spiritual wisdom and modern science and allows us the opportunity to see our human experience from a quantum perspective.  
It combines the Chinese I-ching, Hindu Brahman Chakras, Kabbalah Tree of Life and Astrology with quantum mechanics, biochemistry and the genetic code.  

When you begin your journey with Human Design, it is common to feel seen and validated in ways that you’ve always felt, but maybe could never quite put your finger on. It offers strategies to deepen your relationship with your intuition, understand your energetic rest cycles and your motivation. Human Design is a tool like no other to deepen your understanding and appreciation of yourself and others. All you need to get started is your birth date, time and location. Let’s go! 

Drew Pedersen
​MINDFULNESS & MYSTERY

Bios are for people who know who they are; I will be the first to tell you that I am still working on that. I can say however: I am proud of where I come from, proud of where I have been, content to be where I am now, and very excited for the path ahead. Some years ago, during a very difficult turn in life, I found Ram Dass’s "Be Here Now." In a lot of ways, the philosophy and magic held within its pages in tandem with some of the habits I cultivated as a result, saved my life. For the first time in my life, I realized that I was perfect just the way I was and the path of the mystic gave me a chance to experience a little of that everyday. My journey of self discovery has taken me to many corners of our beautiful world, for which I am most grateful. I have sat in circles with sages of many traditions and respect each of them with a deep reverence. For it is those among us striving to find balance, compassion, and awareness that truly have the ability to be a lighthouse for those of us living in confusion or darkness.

 I am originally from Virginia, the beautiful lands of the Shenandoah and Chesapeake. Ireland is now my home where I live with my lovely wife. I hope you find something meaningful in my musings and fanciful attempts at understanding a truly infinite and mind-bogglingly amazing universe. It is my intention to grow and reach my fullest potential so that I may contribute to love spreading itself and relieving suffering in all corners of our green Earth. The trees and oceans are my home, the stars my muse. Let's go for a walk.

Gretchen Fruchey
YOGA & INTENTIONAL LIVING

I have an undying curiosity about humans and what motivates us to do the things we do. Early in my 20s I turned that curiosity inward and started the long work of knowing and illuminating my Self. Recognizing my own habits, patterns, struggles and flaws, I have gained a deeper capacity to really see the world.

As a writer, yoga teacher, and life-long student, I continue to explore the questions and answers. Through endless journal entries, social content, and one/one connection with private clients, I seek ways to reduce suffering and create meaning. My work opens opportunities for presence and peace in everyday life: curating an intentional home environment and cultivating right livelihood and relationships. You will be inspired to make meaning through what you create and how you show up in your world.

I am grateful to a long list of teachers and mentors. My diverse background includes writing, editing and content creation; teaching yoga and mentoring home design–all ways of communication and connection for a more meaningful life. I will guide you to discover the beauty and delight inside your relationships, work, body, and living spaces.

Lindi Cranston
VISUAL ARTS & HUMAN CONNECTION

They say that who you were when you were a small child is who you are at your core. As such, I am a creative, a rock hunter, shell finder, water lover, forest explorer, beauty seeker, student of humankind and lover of connection. 

I have danced with two long standing passions through the stages of my life. First, an undying attraction for visual design whether natural or manmade, and second: an interest in the human condition, people and people groups, how they relate, move, love and exist. Art and people are my first loves. I observed them as a child, studied them as a young adult majoring in Fine Art and Sociology, and experienced them through travel and service. Many of my years were spent serving people in social work vocations and ministry. 

During this time, my love of creating art was put aside in the name of following what I believe were God’s callings, and the scale tipped heavily to the “people” side of my interests. 

My desire for creative endeavors felt indulgent in an atmosphere where fundamental needs of mankind were calling, including my three precious sons whom I was raising. Later I would re-learn that creativity IS a fundamental need of humanity. Of myself. And that my love for others is best realized when I have learned to honor myself and my gifts as an integral part of creation. 

In midlife I became an art educator, combining my love for art and people together once again. My own, personal renaissance gave way to the rebirth of my art practice that had been on hold (like breath) for nearly two decades. I could breathe again. My creative energy today is fueled by the human experience of incredible loss, and incredible gain. 

I am still exploring my unique marks and voice, while tapping into a deep well of life experience which longs to express itself. This feels like the path to wholeness to me as well as a sacred recognition of my connection to the divine and the self. 

Lora McCarville
MINDFULNESS & EMBODIMENT

I have been a yoga, movement, mindfulness, and meditation teacher for 20 years. A facilitator of spaces, a gatherer of community, and a collaborative practitioner of somatics and movement in a field sometimes referred to as cultural somatics, an emerging approach to embodiment.
I’m a seeker of the unseen and radically curious about this thing that animates us. My body of work and daily practice as a woman, mother, lover, animist, and mystic is to drop again and again from the head and into the heart.

*Lora is trained in Rapid Resolution Therapy, Mindful Schools, Movement for Trauma Recovery, Jungian Somatics, and Cultural Somatics, and is a 500 hr E-RYT trainer, leading hundreds of students and teaching retreats around the world. She’s also a Clinical Hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, and fellow psychonaut."
