Renew, Refresh, Begin again...

“Nature can bring you to stillness, that is its gift to you.”

– Eckhart Tolle

There is much to say about 2020... but let's not.
We need to move forward refreshed, renewed with resolve to begin something new after interruption.

The purpose of this newsletter is to provide a small respite of calm; an invitation to relax, reduce stress, and like nature continue to the next phase of life.

We hope that this newsletter will bring calm to your life. Take this time to bring your life to stillness in nature. The seasons have changed and the majestic beauty of Fall is now upon us. Plants continue their life cycle even in the trauma of disasters. Fields of beautiful forest and natural flora have reappeared in devasted areas scorched by fires. The earth continues to breathe with all its challenges. We can learn from nature in many ways.

We know nature has endured and we are connected to nature.

How have you spent your time during the last 8 months? We vary in our phases in life, young adults and families have been challenged with multi-tasking as never before, home, work, school, dining, entertainment and recreation have been confined to small studio apartments, shared roommates, rental spaces not conducive to remote working, learning, teaching, families and other challenges. We have all been touched one way or another with loss of family, employment, privacy or plans interrupted. We have been resilient and will keep doing what is needed to get to the other side.

You are invited to attend ri-ˈnü [renew]. An exhibition of Living Aura nature-inspired art from October 20, 2020, through January 3, 2021, at the Milton Rhodes Arboreal Gallery in Winston-Salem, NC. Refresh, Renew, Begin again.

Our core business continues to provide services and products to improve the live-work environment. The past months have reinforced the need for Biophilic design. Facts show that we perform better in nature, outdoors is the place we go to relax, work, and breathe a simple sigh of relief from the pressure of confined spaces not designed to accommodate the pandemic. These facts will improve our physical, mental, and emotional health to assist us as we move forward.

we are creators.
we are disrupters.
we can change the world.

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
We work virtually utilizing tools and technology while conducting research, plans, and design solutions to execute services and plans that represent your functional requirements. This adjustment to a revised live-work environment was a transition. we have listened, learned, and know what is needed to thrive in a challenging environment.

Homes will evolve more than they have in the past.

Offices will become optional to our workforces as we have proved, we can work remotely.

Medical institutions recognize the value of nature to our essential workers, and to calm and reduce the stress of overworked employees and families.

We can work together to evaluate your needs and move forward.

Research prior to COVID-19 stated that we spend 90 percent of our time indoors. Today it is even more; work from home, living areas become multi-functional, offices, restaurants, retail, and commercial spaces will change. Get ahead of the game. Call or email today to discuss your needs.

Let us create environments that inspire you to live your best life.
