The Coven Collection — Winter, Hōtoke

Sans Woman

11 - 06 - 26

The arrival of winter is deeply intertwined with Tātai Arorangi [astronomy and cosmic guidance] which serves as a vital compass for physical rest and a renewed spiritual connection to the land.

For our coven in the Southern Hemisphere, our Sans Winter Hōtoke Moodboard encourages us to tilt our axis toward stories with shadows, songs with dream-like lyrics, and atmospheric objects that mark a moment in time...

Undesigning The Bath, Leonard Koren

Made in collaboration with the original author, Leonard Koren and J.B. Blunk, Undesigning the Bath has accrued a devoted following amongst designers and artists. Presenting a novel idea from artist and designer Leonard Koren: that design is, in some fundamental ways, antithetical to the essential bathing experience. It was the culmination of Koren's decades-long interest; he created bath-related events, unusual bathing environments, and paper works about bathing.
