About/Contact

Anne-Marie Emanuelli

Creative Director & Founder

My spirituality and meditation experience has grown to encompass many philosophies and practices as well as ways of nurturing inner calm.

Life’s experiences have taught me resilience and faith, while exposure to different cultures expanded my understanding of spirituality and the sacredness of life and Nature.

My path is learning and raising spiritual consciousness together and welcoming a mindful future.
