Esalen Institute
I make a pilgrimage to Esalen every few months — sometimes for a workshop, other times to volunteer, soak in the legendary baths, enjoy a massage, or simply remember what it feels like to slow down. There isn't another place quite like it: no cell service, breathtaking Big Sur cliffs, and the rare convergence of mountain water, natural hot springs, and the Pacific Ocean. It's easy to understand why this land has long been considered sacred. My entire body relaxes within minutes of arriving. And if you're in the mood, there's almost always someone interesting to talk to.
Cathedral Lancet by Jason Koharik
To know me is to know my love for stained glass (hashtag reformed Catholic). From Jason Koharik, this lancet brings that sacred, storybook glow into everyday spaces — multiple colorways available.
Olio Lusso Perfume by Rodin
I'd probably gatekeep this if you could get it. But you can't. Linda Rodin’s luxurious oil-based line was sold to Estée Lauder in 2014 and shuttered in 2021, so I bought every bottle I could find. This jasmine-forward scent is my favorite of all time — and every spritz from my last bottle is sweet sorrow.
