SEA URCHIN / KINA - now that the holidays are over, this pounamu piece feels like the right one to start sharing for the year.

๐ŸŸข Do you have a tough exterior and a soft inside? The sea urchin will teach this balance of rough and tender. The kinaโ€™s spiky exterior can symbolize protection and resilience, reminding us of the strength found in facing lifeโ€™s challenges. It can connect us to nature, giving the feeling of endurance. Its five-petal pattern can represent harmony.

In my interpretation, the urchin is also a symbol of fertility. It embodies virgin beauty, associated with flowersโ€”the organs of the land. Sea Urchins are the organs of the sea. They are often associated with the ocean, symbolizing sustenance and the abundance of life it provides.

๐Ÿ–ค This piece was carved a few years ago as a commission piece to commemorate a dog called Kina.

Thatโ€™s an Earthship.
Itโ€™s not just a house.
Itโ€™s a machine designed to set you free.
Built from recycled tires, bottles, and dirt, it catches its own water from the sky, grows food inside its walls year-round, treats its own waste, and keeps you warm with nothing but the sunโ€™s energy and the planetโ€™s thermal mass.
The magic isnโ€™t the recycled materials.
The magic is that every system obeys natureโ€™s principles:
Water falls from the sky โ†’ harvest it
The sun rises every day โ†’ use it
Plants clean water and air โ†’ integrate them
Earth stays a constant temperature โ†’ sink into it
When your home runs on the same rules the planet already uses, you stop fighting nature and start dancing with it.
An Earthship isnโ€™t about โ€œliving off-grid.โ€
Itโ€™s about living ON-planet โ€” the way life was always meant to.
Freedom isnโ€™t owning less.
Freedom is depending on less that can be taken away.
Build one. Live in one. Feel what itโ€™s like when your shelter no longer controls youโ€ฆ but liberates you instead.

Everyone is starting to realize how important fascia is when it comes to training the body, but most people still underestimate how deeply it influences movement.

Hydrated fascia behaves very differently, down to the cellular level. Not only does it participate in bioelectric signaling, it also plays a major role in how much range of motion your body can access during exercise. When this tissue is loaded correctly, it becomes elastic and responsive. Your muscles coordinate better, your posture improves, and energy becomes more stable because your body isnโ€™t fighting itself to move.

When this tissue loses its elasticity and structural organization, your body begins moving in ways that increase tension, stiffness, and joint stress in the wrong areas. This is when people start experiencing the movement degradation that eventually leads to pain. Hydration in the body isnโ€™t just about drinking more water. It depends on restoring the mechanical conditions that allow fluid to move through your tissue with minimal friction.

The visual on the left is exactly what we help you overcome through our training. This is what you see in the transformations we help people achieve, where their bodies begin to look more viscoelastic and full.

If you want to improve your movement, you not only need to strengthen the muscles that are weak, you also need to build the mechanics that distribute tension efficiently throughout your fascial system. The quality of your movement determines the quality of your tissue.
