It’s a joy watching a person’s initial reaction to an innerSpirit Rattle. The appearance of found treasure first causes curiosity. Their rustic look creates an impression of an ancient civilization, like an artifact unearthed from a primitive Indian camp ground around the Rio Grande.

But once someone holds a rattle in the palm of their hand, and then they shake it… they’ll never give it up. It is a powerful connection that’s difficult to explain.

Our small ceramics studio is located in a land far far away. Alpine, TX is close to Big Bend National Park, an isolated and rugged area in the middle of the vast and peaceful Chihuahuan Desert, and near the mysterious Marfa Lights.

There’s arguably a unique energy springing from our under-populated and far flung part of the world. The vast and desolate landscape has a curious way of reinforcing faith, dredging up unknown inner strength, and sparking a deep appreciation of even the smallest things in life.

This feeling is a gift that maybe ~just maybe~ is captured inside the thin shell of each handmade innerSpirit Rattle. Perhaps it’s an aura that seeps in, or a sticky essence picked up while being made one-by-one in a land once inhabited by American Indians and the African American Buffalo soldiers.

Follow the instructions printed on the card, and in no time at all just the sight of your innerSpirit Rattle will trigger spontaneous gratitude.

Shaking one produces calming sense of peace by clearing the clutter in your head, creating natural mindfulness of the present moment, and generating a worry-free mind FULL of energizing gratitude.

It’s impossible to be grateful and worried at the same time. Go ahead. Try it.
