Living Life in Sacred Time
I have grown to let life happen. Life is short and precious, but it is meant to be experienced slowly and savored. This is something I have learned from spending time in a collection of coastal towns.
Coastal towns tend to evoke a state of being that is slower and more connected to their natural surroundings.
That is what drew me to the coast of South Florida. Even with the immense built-environment, I walk by sea turtle nests dotted along the sand, I paddleboard by the tangled mangroves, manta rays leap from the water in front of me, I feel the presence of the natural world. These daily interactions have allowed me to feel a deeper connection to the ocean and its inhabitants, as well as a desire to protect and care for what is now my backyard. As I integrate into this new landscape and community, I am taking a greater effort to step into a more regenerative and mindful approach to being.
I’ve initiated the (almost) daily ritual of starting (or ending) my day at the beach… grounding myself by walking in the sand, sometimes dipping in the ocean. It's a very peaceful yet energizing experience. I don’t think there was a time I left the coastline or even the view of the sea not feeling as though part of its mystical power had been transferred to me. When I absorb the energy of the ocean, it fills me with a sense that I can write an incredible story in my life. It instills alignment, peace, and inspiration within me.
Throughout my life I have sought out visiting and living in coastal towns - from the Carolina Lowcountry, Sicilia, to Miami, where that feeling is alive and embedded in the environment. The coast is an endless source of inspiration that continually calls me, which is what influenced me to create Coventina.
The concept of Coventina has been ruminating within me for a while (a few years!). There were phases of my life I felt like sharing it, but held back even at the risk of feeling like I was “falling behind”, but as I mentioned, timing is sacred. When I moved to Boca, I felt a sense of alignment that it was time to share Coventina with you. I want to release it from my mind and into the world. It is my hope that Coventina offers you space and inspiration to connect more to the world around you; to invite in the energy of the coast to create a vibrant, regenerative, and happy way of being.
