The clarity of all that is, is an exploration that probes how memories, trauma and emotions live within our body and the healing power of nature. This process started as a personal exploration to walk through past experiences to bring about more compassion, release and understanding. Rachel explored personal journal writings, drawings and scribbles from when she was 5 to present day to generate movement. Her insatiable desire to aid in the healing of herself and others has inspired her to investigate the varying ways we respond to fear, chaos and how we may move into a place of self love and acceptance. She hopes to continue this process with her brother Ben to contribute to their catharsis and collective healing. Ben has been an integral part of her evolution and has been a source of light and inspiration during this process and all of her life. Rachel is enormously grateful that Ben had agreed to share his minstrel magic and be a creative companion as they share their story.
