okay so after living in Ibiza for the past three years, we finally made it over to Mallorca. All it took was 20 minutes in a terrifying prop plane on a very windy day and we were transported to a whole other world. Thank you to the dearest @mamelopez who swooped us at the airport and welcomed us into her fairyland filled with art books and ceramics and chickens and fresh bread. I could listen to her life stories for hours. 🪺 I’ve always been drawn to islands and this place has left me a bit speechless, but incredibly sure I’ll be back soon. 💛💛💛☀️

magical island life 🌊 beauty from sunrise to sunset visiting artist ateliers making easy fresh homemade meals🍋 enjoying the beautiful ocean and of course staying at my friend’s most dreamy home of @mamelopez with my favorite people & Lou

so grateful to be back here in paradise with my favorites in good health the magical world of @mamelopez where in every corner you feel her warm heart, her eye for beauty & authenticity @mamelopez she is the magic 🤍 thank you dearest friend for welcoming us again in your beautiful world we are so happy to be here no place I rather be

A magical long layover (and first glimpse for me) in Mallorca. So good to see you IRL @mamelopez - what a space you get to live in and have also created for yourself and your community. Muchas gracias y abrazos! Amazing to be able to connect in person from many years of @tinyatlasquarterly friendship.

🌿🤍 Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean— the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down— who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idled and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver

Your story needs to look like you, not somebody else’s. These images of @mamelopez transport me back. The warmth of conversations shared around weathered tables, the pitter patter of paws up the stairs, the sweet burst of local cherries. When we slow down, when we become unhurried, that’s when we can truly see the moments that matter most. And it’s what my soul craves. Not following trends or creating photos that don’t tell a story. Honest, intentional moments which celebrate the art of being. Because THAT is the kind of photography that will still move you years from now. Photos that tell your story, not someone else’s. I’m forever grateful I got to capture you with your boys Mercedes 🤎 #mallorcaphotographer #byronbayphotographer #noosaphotographer

Grateful for days like this, surrendering to what is✨ When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. The realm of Being, which had been obscured by the mind, then opens up. Suddenly, a great stillness arises within you, an unfathomable sense of peace. And within that peace, there is great joy. And within that joy, there is love. And at the innermost core, there is the sacred, the immeasurable, That which cannot be named. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Finding a moment of peace. The seaside is a place where I always find calmness and clarity. Connecting with the sea helps me quiet the mind and reconnect with myself 🐚 Moving towards Winter Solstice is a time of stillness. As the sun builds strength and days get longer, take some time to rest and reflect. If you are working through tough, dark times, know that the change of seasons brings brighter days ahead. Use this powerful time of the year to reflect and recreate yourself.

“Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife” Kahlil Gibran We are Lavanda Sonora. Three dear friends who, while distilling lavender on a warm day back in spring, shared the same vision to bring people together to connect through music, nature and nourishing food. This November 12th Lavanda Sonora presents its second edition: rit. I will open the doors of my home in Moscari inviting you to slow down the pace and enjoy a morning of autumnal sensations with music by Marion Deprez and a nuturing delicious meal prepared by Deborah Pina. In an intimate setting with sparkles of Autumn, the morning will sound of folk/rock that vibrates from the heart and invites you to stop, listen and indulge the journey. The food will be dedicated to the Mediterranean landscape, medicinal plants and autumn fruits. For more information and bookings please DM @marion_deprez_official We hope to see you there🧡 Marion, Deborah & Mercedes photos @delaconcha_photo @mamelopez
