LEGALISE IT!

Finnish Parliament approved same-sex marriage finally today 28th of November. Hurray for one love and equality! Let every human being walk free on our beautiful Mother Earth, free from hatred and prejudice. Nuff said. Peace!

MARINA AND ULAY

"Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s. When they felt the relationship was ending, they walked the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.

At her 2010 MoMa show Marina shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened."

TEAR ALERT! But every tear worth it.

NANNANDA - SPIRITS

I wanted to make a video for NANNANDA jewelries, to somehow share the emotion, feeling or essence of NANNANDA spirit. So I asked some friends to join the project and we took off to an island last fall and this is what was born in a day. No plan, just a vision and freedom for flow - just like NANNANDA jewelries. I'm SUPER happy with the end result, I hope you enjoy it too.

WOMEN'S DAY

To all the divine women out there.

OH SUMMER WHERE ART THOU

This winter has been the cloudiest, therefore darkest in 50 years. This video gave me some light of hope as the day's will be now getting longer and lighter, yei!

FUTURE CALLS - PIHASALI YOGA STUDIO

About two years ago I finished my Bachelor degree in businesses and took off for a 4 months trip around the east part of the world. When I came back to Finland my mom suggested that I would take over her company, a yoga studio in Helsinki called Pihasali - Joogaa räjähtäneille. It wasn't even 12 hours from landing back to my home country but there I was, hearing myself answering "yes" to her question. My mind was going "What on earth are you thinking!? Are you crazy, lady?!" but the answer came from somewhere else, from the heart. So the next thing was to find out how to proceed with this project and one year later, summer 2012 I became the happy owner of our small yoga studio and joined the entrepreneurs colourful group! Here's some pics from our reopening and a video. Please have a look and hopefully you get the same feeling which we all had in the party, very happy and grateful.

HELLO WORLD!

Okay soooo where to start. Maybe from the last post which was made in summer 2012 after visiting France for a yoga retreat. You remember that one? Well, I kinda got busy after it and disappeared for a while from the blogsphere. My apologies for it! What happened was that I bought my mother's business, a yoga studio in Helsinki called Pihasali - Joogaa räjähtäneille and became an entrepreneur. Exciting! But very VERY busy times! I was painting and renewing the studio during the summer and in the end of August we opened the doors again for a new season. If I wasn't busy enough before that things got quite hectic once the season and my new life started.

And if having one company wasn't enough I also got busy with NANNANDA recycled jewelries. So that's what's up!

This year has been quite a ride and I feel it's just starting! So many adventures, projects and plans ahead but I will try to brief you with the past year bit by bit. This is the first post after a long break but Hanna's Nest hasn't been buried, it is not dead. Just a small silence when my energy has been elsewhere but slowly this too will find it's own place again in the puzzle of my life.

So hello world, I'm back! Who's there?

BACK TO PARIS

The day came when we had to leave Le Tardoun so me and mom head our way back to Paris.
The mantra's we've chanted in the retreat kept on playing in my head. Om shanti shanti shanti.
