I've been here almost three weeks and I'm still figuring things out.
Transitioning into Arcosanti has been very gentle and loving. The weather has been nice, bordering on hot. The community is lovely and accommodating and I know they have my back. The spaces themselves are older, but charming. The original architecture which entranced me back in February still has that same effect on me now. My calico, Sepha, has taken a liking to being outdoors and we've been gently exploring that after 8 years of her being an indoor-only cat. I spend my mornings slowly and my evenings on top of rooftops watching the sun sink below the horizon. It really is a very idyllic place for a person like me.
Of course, no place is perfect. The most difficult aspect of this move for me has been learning how to navigate this fairly white space as a brown person. Over the last few years, I had spent a lot of energy curating and cultivating spaces where I felt free to be authentically myself. Now I'm looking to create an approximation of those spaces here at Arcosanti. I know it'll take time, but it will be worth it. I'm excited to see how it unfolds over the next few months.
The studio here - the part of Arcosanti most relevant to my business - is coming along well. It's finally come together to the point where I can make things at my bench again. There's still some cleaning to be done, some stuff to be painted, some tools to be bought. But I'm so excited to be building it out to fit my needs. Once it's all set up, I will do a physical studio-warming for the folks here and a virtual one for everyone who can't make it there.
With the studio being open, I'm filling orders again. I haven't even started looking into what the holiday season might hold here in Arizona - but if you have any connection to groups or markets in Phoenix or Sedona, please let me know.
My Arcosanti collection is on display in the gallery here. I'm still building that display out as well. Eventually I hope to add in all the stories behind the pieces and share my inspirations so people can see them around the site. What a wonderful way to connect to a place.
If you're ever in the area, please stop by. I would love to make you a cup of tea, if not a meal.
My door is always open.

I am Emma Hayes from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 4 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Harry to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and Whatsapp number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him on his email address drharrysolution@gmail.com He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine and got it through UPS and started using it according to his instructions and Within days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 3 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth, the sores in my pubic area all gone and healed i was so happy because of this shameful illness i lost my high school sweetheart and made me depressed so that’s why i promised to share my testimony with everyone online to hear and experience this great healing, you are indeed a blessing to this planet and i will do my best to make sure you are known in the united states . I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes HPC stroke pile , small manhood size ,low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, lupus disease ,Hiv/aids , spiritual help of all kinds or other similar disease ,you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Harry on his WhatsApp number +2349036417079 , Email him on drharrysolution@gmail.com OR website: https://drharrysolutionhea.wixsite.com/healinghome God bless you all as you contact him

I really appreciate the effort put into getting my funds back from scammers and I will recommend recoveryhacker101@gmail.com for effective work done.
