ABOUT
Life moves in rhythms and cycles;
With the changing seasons offering a clear, natural guide.
In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, the essential wintering period for rest and renewal is often overlooked. In hospitality, where the pace rarely lets up, I frequently find myself trying to catch up instead.
So where, then, is the true period of rest?
I am sure this question is true for other industries too.
Contempo is about tuning into the natural cycles we move through and recognizing which season of life we’re currently in. By being present with where we are, we can adjust the expectations we place on ourselves and how we engage with the world around us. It’s a way to ease overwhelm and find peace in the moment. Are we in a season of restoration or expansion? Naming it helps us understand what we need—and gives us permission to respond with care.
At its core, this is about how we move—both through the world and within ourselves. Inspired by the first two limbs of the yogic path, it’s a reminder to act with care, toward ourselves and others. Through a dancer’s lens, it invites us to honor our own rhythm — knowing when to pause, when to expand, and how to move in harmony with those around us. Like being on a dance floor, it’s personal, communal, and alive. There’s truly nothing like it.
Contempo will serve as a platform combining a collection of life’s contradictions, allowing them to live individually, in duet and in harmony.
