Joshua Tree Reflections…Creativity, Stillness & Sustainable Living

Few places capture my heart the way Joshua Tree does. I’ve been coming here long before it became the popular desert destination it is today, and each visit reminds me why this land is so sacred. There’s a quiet beauty in the stillness — a space where creativity flows, and nature gently invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

This past September, I spent four days out here — reading, creating art, shooting, and simply being present. Between the golden sunsets over the rocks, the crisp mornings wrapped in desert air, and long afternoons of inspiration, I felt a reset that only Joshua Tree can give.

Building Something Meaningful in the Desert

For years, I’ve dreamed of creating a space where others can come to experience what I’ve always found here: stillness, healing, and inspiration. Now, that dream is becoming reality.

On 10 acres of land in Joshua Tree, I’m beginning to build a retreat center — a place for creativity, community, and conscious living. A space designed to help people disconnect from the noise, recharge in nature, and reconnect with themselves.

This project is rooted in gratitude for the land and a desire to share its magic with others. To honor the desert’s raw, grounding beauty while creating something beautiful and lasting for the community.

Sustainability in Style, LACAUSA & Conscious Fashion

My time in Joshua Tree also tied deeply into my purpose with LACAUSA. Just like the desert inspires intentional, simple living, my fashion journey has always been about creating clothing that does more than just look good.

Pieces like our Nomad Dress in French Linen
are part of that mission. Crafted from one of the most sustainable, skin-friendly fabrics, it’s designed for effortless layering and timeless wear. French linen is breathable, hypoallergenic, and softens with every wash — a fabric that loves both your skin and the planet.

At LACAUSA, we are deeply committed to Made in LA production. Every garment is cut and sewn ethically in our Los Angeles HQ, ensuring fair wages, sustainability, and uncompromising quality. Because to us, fashion is about how it feels, how it’s made, and the story it carries.

Looking Forward…

Joshua Tree continues to fuel my vision — a blend of sustainable fashion, creative retreats, and intentional living. Whether through our clothing or the retreat center being built in the desert, my purpose is clear: to create beauty that is conscious, rooted in care, and made to last.

I am endlessly grateful to walk this path and even more excited to share it with you. Together, we can expand a movement that honors both people and the planet.

Here’s to slowing down, reconnecting, and creating something meaningful — one piece, one place, one moment at a time.
