Hello fellow Burners, friends, and West Coast peeps. 💜🌿

After nearly three years of dreaming, planning, gathering ideas, and nurturing a vision, Freyja's Garden is finally coming to life.

For those unfamiliar, Otherworld is a regional Burning Man event held on Vancouver Island—a community-created gathering centered around art, creativity, participation, connection, and self-expression.

More than a camp, Freyja's Garden is an invitation into a different way of being—a sanctuary where art and healing, play and depth, beauty and belonging meet. Through creativity, conversation, quiet reflection, community, and moments of unexpected magic, it offers a space to slow down, reconnect, create, explore, and simply be. At its heart, Freyja's Garden is a place to remember what it feels like to belong—to ourselves, to each other, and to something larger than everyday life.

As with any art or community project, there are always expenses involved in bringing a vision into reality. To help offset some of those costs, I'm offering original paintings for sale. If you've been following this journey and would like to support Freyja's Garden, I'd be grateful for your support.

I'm hoping to raise about $150–200 to help bring this vision fully to life.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged, supported, and believed in this dream over the years. It means more than you know.

With gratitude,

Candice 🌿💜

Hey Friends and FamJam!,

I hope this message finds you well and that life is exciting and adventurous as mine has been lately. Despite some current challenges, I'm finding ways to be hopeful for what's to come.

As many of you know, I recently attended Burning Man 2024, Curiouser & Curiouser, which was an experience I worked hard to make happen through a lot of effort, trust, healing, letting go and of course, fundraising.

This journey included creating my new side hustle, which emerged as I prepared for the burn. First off, I can’t even begin to describe the gratitude I feel for all the love and support I received in getting to Burning Man 2024.

Coming back from the Playa, cleaning off all the dust (and recovering from the post-burn bronchitis), I’ve been reflecting on how powerful and life-changing the experience was. The Playa, the people, the love - seriously, words fall short, but I’ll say this: it was beyond magical. Alchemical even! I feel like a completely different person, right down to my DNA!

And I have you— especially the burner and intention communities - with all of the incredible, authentic, heart-centered people—to thank.
Now that I’m back in the "default world," I’ve realized something amazing: this journey has sparked a new side hustle that’s really close to my heart that feels aligned with who I am.

Some of you know I’ve been searching for something more “mainstream” to balance my healing work, and I think I’ve finally found it—helping people declutter and organize their lives.

As someone who’s wrestled with the "hot mess" of ADHD, disorganization, and holding onto things, I’ve turned my own mess into a kind of superpower. Believe me, I know how it feels to be stuck in the clutter. Over the years, I’ve developed ways to tackle the overwhelm and paralysis that comes with it, and now I want to share what I’ve learned.

My approach isn’t perfect, but it’s real, and it works.

Plus, if you’re up for it, I can also help you explore the emotional side of letting go and why it feels so hard (you know, those deeper rabbit holes and inner spaces), we can totally dive into that too. No pressure, just offering it as a bonus at a discounted rate as I build this business.

For now, I’m offering my decluttering services at a special intro rate of $25/hour—no strings, no pressure, just support - I'm here for you. This rate is set for the first few months, so if you’ve got that one space you’ve been avoiding (we all have one), or if you’re ready for a fresh start, let’s tackle it together!

Whether it’s a junk drawer or a whole room, send me a DM and let’s make space—for your stuff and your soul.I can’t wait to work with you and make some magic happen.

Much love,
Candice

Finally finished this one.

"Shattered"
Acrylic on Canvas
12"×12"
Price: Pay What You Can** (trying something new with this one)

**I'm selling it on a Pay What You Can basis with a caviat:

It will be a minimum of $25 to cover the cost of canvas and other supplies.

Also, that you are TRULY honest with both how much you can legitimately afford and what you truly think it's worth. The biggest part of this caviat, is the honesty part.

In other words, if you personally think it's worth $150 (as an example) AND you can afford that, please make that kind of offer. If you think it's worth more (or less) and can afford that price, offer that.

Also, what You pay beyond the minimum price, doesn't include shipping if you don't live in the Vancouver area.

If I feel this pricing system is successful, I may offer some of my pieces with this kind of pricing model.

Finally finished this one.

Title: Shattered
Acrylic on Canvas
12"x12"

Price: Pay What You Can** (trying something new)

**Minimum $25 to cover the cost of canvas, paint and other supplies. This price structure is based on what you TRULY can afford and what you think it's worth. This comes with the caviat that you are honest with both of those aspects of this pricing model.

Another sculptural piece with a different color scheme than I usually do and I love it! Not sure if this one is finished or not.

What do you think?
