Nicolas Vaudroz

www.nicolasvaudroz.com

Our ‘Artist in Residence’ in Leysin. As he says on his website, “artist in residence on planet Earth” growing up in the Swiss Alps in constant exchange with nature. His work is a tribute to life and its mysteries, invoking the energy of the Source of All Things and “trusting that what has to be shown is shown”. The ‘Pinecone’s message’ “can you hear me?” is a project raising public awareness of Gaia’s energies and the influence and power of her creatures.

Nico has been involved in a co-creative project with Nicole Benoit of the Amani Harmonic Foundation and Pam Hardenburg producing pinecone elementals for distribution at the European Mastering Alchemy Conference hosted by the Amani Harmonic Foundation in Leysin in May 2018.

Children at the Butterfly Centre

The Butterfly Centre

The Butterfly Centre in Stanford, Western Cape, aims to create a space where children from all walks of life can have access to therapies which can help them live their best lives. The children follow an academic curriculum based on their individual assessed levels and the focus is on life-skills and social development. The centre is a place where the children feel not just valued but celebrated for their uniqueness. As a support to the therapists volunteers from the community offer inputs in various domains. For example, the Amani Harmonic Foundation offers creative sound sessions with the children on a one-on-one basis.
