Continuation …
FaldAlas demands assuming that people need rituals in order to establish bridges between the visible and invisible, the tangible and that one truth in the inner self.. Bridges that establish ways of communication between the mundane and the sacred worlds.
The FaldAla is transformed into an object that allows us to settle a ritualistic need. It compromises us with the own personal practice being its use a refinement of it.
Starting from this compromise that justifies the object, we add the reality of those who make and embroider it with those symbols that we will be able to keep adding if we wanted to.
We make it through a sharing of personal proposes, dreams and longings of every person that sews, just like the one that is placing the order.
The making and the usage of the object are both made with the compromise of showing vulnerability and sensibility toward these dreams.
Those who sew or embroider belong to collectives that are in risk of social exclusion in developing countries.
We look for establishing a relation of personalized dignity between North and South, where the natural longing of the Human Being is to encourage the other to prosper and to turn into the motor of something bigger than a simple commercial project.
FladAlas is a project that is added to the precepts of the Letter of The Earth.
To Opened Heart (ACa) actively participates in this project through the use of faldalas in its practice.
“Social innovation through the practice of mindfulness and intention for the prosperity and caring of the World.”
