As Dominican Contemplative Nuns, we have withdrawn from the world in such a way as to embrace everyone in the heart of Christ. As a community, we are called by God to witness to his love, to adoration and prayer, with the Word of God as the center of our lives. We seek to sustain the Church, to intercede for mankind. Through our life of prayer, work and study we bring to fruition God’s loving Word in the World. Famous pumpkin bread, peanut brittle, chocolates.

Lizze Martinez, Owner of Tribu Ecuador
Tribu is inspired by the natural richness of Ecuador. Our practice helps give our artisans a better life and helps preserve the life of our planet. Our goal is to provide high quality products and to support the Fair Trade industry. Benefits of the Tagua Nut. The tagua nut palm tree grows in the tropical rain forest of some South American countries; mainly Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela.
Because of its similarities in color, hardness, and texture to those of elephant ivory, the tagua nut has been used as a substitute. This lowers the demand for animal ivory and prevents the slaughter of elephants. It also helps prevent deforestation because the trees do not need to be cut down in order to harvest the nuts.
Alpaca Fiber - We work closely with the Conteron family in Otavalo-Ecuador to bring the most beautiful pieces to you. All our alpaca garments are handwoven using rustic looms. The fibers are soft, durable, luxurious, and warmer than sheep's wool. Alpaca has no lanolin, so the fibers are also hypoallergenic.

Antonija, Owner of Atelier Zovak

These handmade sacramentals honor everyone's journey, walking in the footsteps of the saints to instill love and charity. Along with the support of her husband and six children, it is her way of sharing her conviction of the Catholic faith through the art of making sacramentals. It is her prayer that these sacramentals promote love, peace, healing and protection.

Cynthia Ostrowski, Photographer
Cynthia felt called to the arts from a very young age. She's had a camera in her hands for as long as she can remember, but it wasn't until getting married and having children that she started getting serious about learning the craft and further developing the artistic gifts she has been blessed with.
She loves taking photos of families and telling stories of love through photographs. Cynthia feels extremely lucky to have sunny Southern California as her backdrop.
