Ariel Bui (@arielbui) is a Nashville-based artist, activist, and educator that has experienced first-hand how being immersed in nature and music can heal the mind, body, and spirit. She shares her story about why she's building a sustainable Earthship-inspired studio retreat and how her experiences of having a mom with schizoaffective disorder has given her a unique insight into the world around us.
"If you don't live in a rural area or aren't usually in touch with nature, it's easy to forget that we live on a planet that requires balance. It's so important to have spaces that specifically preserved for people, animals, and wildlife to be able to continue to thrive." - Ariel
