Rooted in Beauty,
with Reverence for Life
Temple and Artifact exists to bring “The Beauty Way” into form; offering seasonal artisan collections ranging from ritual attire, to handcrafted decor items, visual art for the sanctuary-home, and thoughtfully curated gift boxes.
Sophia Life is the artist, designer and curator behind Temple and Artifact. She works with artisans, nature’s raw materials, up-cycled artifacts, and her own custom designs to create environments and experiences that invoke appreciation for the beauty around us and within us.
We can shape our environments
to become spaces that uplift, inspire,
and restore us.
THE BEAUTY WAY
At the heart of these offerings is The Beauty Way - a philosophy of living in balance, coherence, and reverence for All Life.
Beauty is a way of being in relationship with yourself, others and the world. When we notice what is in right-relationship with itself and ‘other’, we call it beautiful. It is the harmony and balance, the visual coherence and the quality of craftsmanship that draws our attention to appreciate the nature of what is beautiful.
The Beauty Way guides us towards what is inherently nurturing, inspiring and in balance with itself and the world around it.
Designing with the Beauty Way, we can create spaces that feel alive, where every element is in relationship - materials, textures, and light working together to evoke a sense of harmony. Sophia’s designs integrate artistry and intention into everyday living, so that beauty is not just seen, but felt.
