Beauty has a Wild Spirit

Beauty has a Wild Spirit

A core tenant of The Daily Rest Studio is the necessity of beauty for a vibrant, spiritual life. Tending to the vitality of body and mind includes both movement, rest, good nutrition, time for contemplation and adornment, pleasure, frivolity and beauty.


This season is a celebration of life: turning the up the colour saturation by slowing down and choosing to make life beautiful. Because it is not something we wait for, it is something we cultivate and choose. We explore herbal beauty rituals, nature altars, body oiling the written words of botanist poets and the meeting point between wild nature, the presence of spirit and beauty.
