Over four years ago I purchased a pair of VivoBarefoot Dharmas by Terra Plana.
A revolutionary pair of shoes that have forever awakened my life
and connection to the Earth as I move about step by step.

At the time, I was a Senior Designer in the footwear industry
traveling for inspiration. I was at a stage of evolution in my life where
I was ready for more than a shoe that was just aesthetically appealing.
I was ready for a sustainable shoe that was vogue,
healthy for my body and our earth.
A very rare shoe!

When I first encountered the VivoBarefoot Dharma I wasn’t yet aware
of the sustainable significance of these shoes and the company Terra Plana
and neither was the store clerk in the gallery style boutique. I was inspired
by the Dharma and all I needed to do was put them on and walk around.
Wow, I feel more present and connected than I have ever felt
in a pair of shoes! This is the closest alternative
to being barefoot yet.

I absolutely believe in the importance of walking barefoot on the Earth
as often as possible, though walking barefoot in the urban world
where there are all kinds of sharp elements often unseen
to the eye isn’t appealing to me.

The soles of the VivoBarefoot contain a weave of Duratex
ensuring resistance to almost any punctures. This material
also allows the soles to be quite thin creating an intimate
closeness and sensitivity as you walk.

What about Vibram Five Fingers some of you reading this
may be wondering? Wonderful shoes as well
serving a different purpose.

Why I love the VivoBarefoot Dharma!

• Stengthen the muscles in your feet
• Realign your posture
• Stimulate sensory perception
• Protection of normal shoes
• Health benefits of going barefoot
• They are simple and easy
• A truly quality shoe

Why I love Terra Plana!

• A remarkably conscious and sustainable footwear design company.
• They offer the most inspiring life cycle and ecological ethics I have seen.
• They rate all their shoes according to an Eco Matrix which is based on the 5 Senses
• They consulted with a Podiatrist to create an ergonomic footbed.
• Offer a dynamic range of vogue footwear designs for Women + Men + Kids.

Below is an inspirational video intimately revealing Terra Plana’s process…

“An inflexible shoe effectively splints the foot
and prevents it from its natural range of movements.
As a result the arch of the foot often becomes
weak and collapsed since the muscles are
no longer exercised.”

Being a hueman that is an Artist + Designer + Innovator as
well as an Optimal Health Consultant I am vividly enthused
when I experience great design.

The Breville Juice Fountain Plus is an exceptionally designed
product obviously created by a designer intimately aware of
a juicer’s user experience.

I have witnessed and utilized many other brands of juicers
through my trek of life. My experience is the other brands
are poorly designed, too heavy and difficult to clean though
they all produced juice for me to enjoy which i am grateful
for.

Why do i love the Juice Fountain Plus?

The 1st feature I love is…..

The design as I will continue to express.
Having the most refined tool for a project is truly a gift.
Imagine trying to crack into a young, green coconut with a
table knife instead of a great cleaver that is comfortable
in your hand and robustly sharp!

When my eyes interacted with the electrical plug for the
first time I was truly amazed. The plug design is a signature
creation of Breville and it is divine genius! I am curious as a child
and feel just as excited plugging or unplugging this unit as i do in
ingesting the gift of the juice it creates.

The 2nd feature I love is…..

Just how powerful the Juice Fountain Plus
is all while incredibly quiet. It juices entire beets + apples + pears
+ ginger + etc. with inspiring ease.

“850 Watts of Savvy Simplicity”

The 3rd feature I love is…..

The exceptional ease of cleaning.
Anything i do is with great attention to detail, cleaning included.
All the 9 individual parts of this Breville model detach easily.
Every juicer i have utilized requires significant commitment
to cleaning, though the Juice Fountain is refreshingly
simple.

Bless you for being here with me.
I felt zestfully joyous writing this review to share with you!
I hope you create the opportunity to experience a Breville
juicer for your juicing pleasure!

“Juicing is absolutely the most nourishing + vitalizing
way to be phenomenally healthy and alive!”
