If you've been to the SAN Center, you've experienced an offering of the heart by Alison Van Wyck.
If you were offered a hot cup of tea, she's the one that hand-blended the herbs that fill every bag of Wisdom Nectar Tea.
If you have enjoyed any of the art hanging in the LOTUSWEI Store, the Wisdom Lounge, Black Tortoise Room, or hallway, that is Alison's original artwork that we are so lucky to have permanently installed in our space.
If you've felt at home in the SAN Center, Alison is our in-house Feng Shui consultant and is extremely talented at creating spaces that feel energetically harmonious, happy & stabilized.
In more ways than one, Alison is an artist & alchemist of beauty.
Alison has spent a lifetime exploring the connection between art, life & meditation. She holds an MFA in painting, and is professionally trained in Chinese calligraphy, Thangka painting & the art of Feng Shui.
Through the end of the year, Alison is hosting a series of art workshops to inspire adventure, experimentation & learning. Explore your practice, learn new techniques and enjoy the creative process in a compassionate community ~ think art club, with meditation, chocolate, tea, flower elixirs & light bites.
