We select our coven of Sans Women based on the fact that they each engage in a practice that is both intelligent and interesting. 

Using our platform as a way to open up conversations around the sticky, the gritty, and the pleasurable things in life, we believe these fireside ideas that are worth revisiting and celebrating. 

Here, we share a selection of ways in which our Sans Coven work to transform ideas or shift bad habits in order to operate at their most optimum.

The health benefits from eating fresh herbs and garden greens is no secret. And at this time of the year, when life gets busy and our best intentions slip, getting a dose of fresh leafy greens into our meals becomes essential. 
Carter Were of Were Bros walks us through her lush vegetable garden and around her medicinal herb wheel to pull together a crisp Garden Salad. Drizzled in her home made Coriander & Parsley Pesto dressing, this simple dish is quick to make, and ingredients can be easily supplemented with alternative plants.

Bathing is one of the most important treatments for eczema and dermatitis as water hydrates and softens the stratum corneum [the top layer of skin], allowing your moisturiser to be more thoroughly absorbed. Bathing also removes allergens, irritants and dry, built-up skin cells.

Jess Hannah is a talented LA-based maker of elegant and exceptionally crafted jewellery. Her stunning pieces focus on fine craftsmanship and timelessness. Taking clever, subtle cues from art, architecture and geography, we love Jess for her beautiful eye for detail and dedication to an entirely hand made practice. Using conflict-free and ethically sourced stones & metals to make her jewellery, Jess creates heirlooms for the modern era –– for living in and living with. Here we share Jess's rituals for life...

Sasha Spielberg’s desire to tell stories runs in her genes. Both parents’ greatly involved in the film making process, it comes as no surprise that Sasha has found a creative outlet of her own through music. Originally invited to add vocals to her brother Theo’s musical endeavour Wardell, and then Just Friends – a collaboration with Nicolas Jaar, Sasha now explores a musical solo project under the name Buzzy Lee. At a time when she feels inclined to turn her focus inward, “take off her shoes, take off her face and stop trying to make everybody laugh”, Buzzy Lee marks the challenge to bravely face herself and reveal her vulnerabilities. Perhaps in attempt to peel the daughter-of-director layer off. All of which she does whilst being incredibly funny and down to earth.
