Our Collaborations

At Essentially Mindful, we are a design studio dedicated to cultivating meaningful connections between Ecuador’s master artisans and the global stage. Inspired by the country’s rich cultural legacy and its wealth of natural materials, our creations honor centuries of artistry passed down through generations.

Through close collaboration with Indigenous and local craftspeople and artists, we co-create exquisite, handcrafted pieces that embody timeless beauty, cultural depth, and refined craftsmanship. Each work is produced in limited editions, ensuring its exclusivity and preserving the authenticity of its origin.

Each piece tells the story of the hands and the heart that created it — a story of tradition and perseverance.

Artisan Incubator

Imagine a world where women artisans from Ecuador’s remote communities have the opportunity to thrive — where their artistry transcends borders, reaching global audiences and creating lasting, sustainable livelihoods for their families.

The Artisan Incubator, a transformative initiative by Essentially Mindful, is opening new pathways for emerging artisans across the country. By providing an ecosystem of mentorship, training, and access to global markets, we empower these women to strengthen their skills, preserve their cultural heritage, and participate meaningfully in the modern economy.

Our mission is to unlock human potential through creativity and community — breaking down barriers of geography and inequality to build a future where tradition, dignity, and opportunity flourish side by side.

Made with Purpose: Honoring Tradition

We are deeply committed to fair and sustainable practices, seeking out the most talented women and men artisans and carefully selecting natural materials with respect and intention.

In doing so, we aim to preserve traditional craftsmanship, support local economies, and promote environmentally responsible practices.

Artistic Creation and Connection with Nature

In every piece created, the artisan channels the energy of nature and carries the stories of generations past; those who have completed their journey on Earth and now live on in the cosmos.

This profound connection is embodied in each handcrafted work, capturing the rich heritage and enduring spirit of their ancestors—reminding us that supporting these artisans is not only an investment in craft but a tribute to a timeless legacy.

A Journey toward Authenticity and Sustainability

We honor the enduring struggle and steadfast resilience of Ecuador’s Amazonian peoples, sacred guardians of the land and custodians of a profound cultural legacy. Their deep-rooted connection to the earth and ancient wisdom flows through every breath of their existence.

Through the creation and sharing of our products, we pledge to nurture the preservation of their vibrant cultures and timeless traditions, while sowing seeds of economic hope and lasting stability within their communities.

Essentially Mindful is more than a brand, it’s a movement. A call to return to authenticity and ethics in every choice we make. Our mission is clear: to champion a life of integrity, transparency, and conscious connection.

When you choose Essentially Mindful, you’re not just buying a product, you’re standing with ancestral cultures, fueling their survival, and embracing a community that honors the powerful bond between the spirit within and the natural world.
