Touchstone Practice
When putting Xenoflora on, pause and imagine stepping beneath an unfamiliar canopy.
Quietly say:
“I belong even here.”
When growth feels overwhelming or disorienting, touch the volcanic end stones and let the spiral re-gather your attention. Allow the body to remember before the mind catches up.
Maker’s Note
Xenoflora takes its name from the idea of unfamiliar life—xeno, meaning foreign, and flora, meaning growth that emerges from living systems rather than design. Black tourmaline, malachite, inclusion-rich Super Seven, and volcanic stone were chosen for that same reason, each formed through pressure, heat, and time.
I work slowly and in small batches, allowing variation to remain part of the piece rather than something to be corrected. What you receive is not a replica, but a particular instance—one expression of a living system formed at a specific moment.
Wear it as a reminder that growth does not require certainty—only presence.
