Gabriella came to the states from Hungary, where she practiced
yoga with a group of like-minded individuals, even though the
practice was not permitted by the government. She was only to stay
for a few months, to work and save money to visit the Mexico's
pyramids and experience Mayan spirituality. Gabriella fell in love
with the freedom and opportunities here, deciding to make her home
in New Jersey. A few years later, a cross-country drive with
her son landed them in Santa Monica, where they soon moved. She met
here husband on a retreat and they now reside in Joshua Tree.
Gabriella thrives on learning and this path has led her to practice
many different forms of art like Yoga, Meditation, Chanting,
Storytelling and the Art of Knotting, also known as Macrame.
In this episode, she talks about
how the desert kept calling her back, and the process of finding
her home, “El Corazón del Desierto” (The Heart of the Desert),
where she and her husband live and host visiting guests and conduct
workshops. You'll find a link to Gabriella's Maitri Macrame Etsy
