bringing the bloom

to the room

Rita James, has a gift for creating sacred experiences and space for all to be seen, heard and to heal.  With deep reverence for past, present, and future knowledge holders of this sacred art form, Rita contributes to the evolution of this meditative practice while acknowledging the histories of persecution that have impacted and continue to impact indigenous cultures around the globe and the preservation of their spiritual practices. As we navigate the complexities of living in a globally colonized society, Rita is committed to continue learning the layered origins of mandalas. She strives to walk with humility and respect for the medicine of the mandala and the living, breathing lineages of this divination practice. 

Her first mandala was created and inspired by the loss of her brother, Rudy.   It was through this organic process of devotion that she felt herself attune and align with her purpose. From that moment on she’s has continuously been inspired to create, using flowers as her medium.  To move through the earth with intention and selfless acts of love is at the core of who she is.  Each piece whether it is a mandala or an arrangement is carefully curated after having a conversation with a client.  Understanding what moves you is important to creating a piece that represents the very essence of who you are.
