RARE Jewelry FINDS THAT WILL ENCHANT YOU
There are only two know beaches in the world where orcas go to frolic & rub their bellies. Both beaches are extremely remote and nestled in the sparkling waters of BCs central coastal region.
These pendants are actual pebbles from one of those beaches, hand collected by artist Kate Shepherd, who has lovingly transformed them into these magical, wearable talismans for you.

be inspired, expand & grow into what you were always meant to be
My grade 1 teacher told me I had a terrible voice and instructed me to stand in the back and be quiet. So for most of my life I did everything I could to do just that - stay small and be quiet.
Until one day during the pandemic something snapped - I finally gathered the courage to find my voice. I set about leaving a toxic marriage. It was the bravest thing I ever had to do. And then like some huge pipe had been cleared - after nearly 20 years - I started painting again.
Finding my voice literally saved my life.
I had to find a way to share this joy, so I launched The Creative Genius Podcast to help other people JUST LIKE YOU find their own voices & inner Creative Geniuses - it has quickly grown to be one of the top 1% of podcasts, globally
From homework at the end of Creative Genius episodes, to downloadable meditations, worksheets & journal prompts. Here, you'll get the support you need to find & unleash your creativity.
