Namaste πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Today we make a new experience of having foot massage in the garden, bathing ourselves in the sunset warm lights.

Before the massage, a hot foot bath with pink Himalaya salt & ginger was performed to activate nerves ending at the feet.

After the massage, an earthing exercise was done to exchange electrolites in the soil.

Weekly foot massage is a healthy treat to our body & mind πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’

SALUTING THE SUN (SURIYA NAMASKAR)

Today we have a good sunny day at the hotel in Knysna (in our trip along the Garden route). The golden sun light, the blue sky, the soft breeze, the peaceful water and the green grass just gave us so much of healing energy. There's a great feeling to perform 7 rounds of saluting the sun (suriya namaskar). The intention is to surrender, to harmonize with the surroundings and to show respect to all.

We're making some craft experiment to create a little gift "bottle suit" in African prints, which is handy whenever we need to present a bottle of wine to a host in an event.

These are our demo gifts. We welcome your feedbacks and comments to help us improve the gift concept. You can quickly give your inputs in this link.

Namaste πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Today marks the first guest speaker for our podcast series "Zim Ζ‘i" which foscus on conversations with people in Zimbabwe. We were lucky to welcome Zimbabwean talented musician & theatre director Aneunhu Gwatidzo. I personally could watch one musical play by him at the Reps theatre "Heartbreak Mafia" (the crew's gift song https://youtu.be/pJAFm62S6Wo) and was so impressed by the world class quality content and skillful act by the team under Aneunhu's leadership.

Here is a glimpse of the challenge for the guest speaker - he needs to sing from a famous Vietnamese music piece "Let the wind blow away" by our most well-known composer Trα»‹nh CΓ΄ng SΖ‘n.

We hope you enjoy our fun time together πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Meraki Studio is happy to connect to Mr. Tinotenda Munguni, an Mbira teacher at the College of Music in Harare. He's sharing the art of Mbira for us (foreigners) to learn from, especially to connect to the magical musical rhythm of Zimbabweans. He'll guide us through playing Mbira and composing our own piece of music from Mbira sounds.

If you're interested in learning this traditional instrument in a group with us, please save in your calendar every Thursday afternoon at 14h at Meraki Studio (near Sam Levy Village in Borrowdale). The class can be adjusted to fit with everyone's schedule.

Female Mbira instrument: $50/complete piece (see photo)
Class fee (1 hour/session): $10

[Recommendation]

For the decoration of our studio, we have the support from recycled metal artist Freddy. He helped to put our idea into final metal works.

We chose 4 messages for ourselves to keep contemplating on each day:
+ smile
+ listen
+ let it go
+ you have enough

What do you think about this idea? If you have any idea, please feel free to share. It's a good way to support the local artist(s) and can be a creative way to create gifts for people you care about πŸŒŸπŸ™πŸ’—

Dear beloved friends πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

I'm so grateful and thankful that you witness a milestone in my life, a moment of courage for me to open up and tell the world about my dream without the fear of failures or judgements because this is now the road I'm gonna walk through anyway.

I'm ready to step into the unknown and explore what will unfold ahead. I'm welcoming all gifts, signals, messages as well as challenges to guide me, you and us along this road.

Thank you for being there with me, for just being you sothat I can experience life through your lens πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

May all beings be free from ignorance and attachment!
