Introduction

People share the gift of life with the plants, the animals and the elements. This takes place within the environment on earth and its celestial bodies. It is on this level, change can happen.

The core of change is essence to essence person to person.

The strength of Core Essence is to do the least.

Issues

Nowadays with the global warming, natural disasters and other ecological issues, people face many dilemmas. External conflicts cause trauma. The pain brings confusion. The focus of the (social) media doesn't help. At the same time not enough people are aware of the lethal impact all these external stresses cause on the peoples themselves.

Aim

By drawing the viewer into the work, we hope to give them some reprieve from the external pressures of nowadays life. Showing vulnerability and curiosity from our part, might give encouragement to the viewer to show the same. Curiosity might guide them to their own wonders happening within themselves again. Who knows it might encourage them to have a different look towards their own positioning in the world. They might see a flickering of what could be changed within this. Everybody has a choice in this as little as it might be.

Who knows this eclectic mix might work as nourishment for the soul.

‘…The beginnings of Core Essence started back in 2009. I realised my life at that time looked like a pizza with a missing piece. I thought, if I can fill that missing piece I might be able to heal.
