A Note From Sigal:

From the time I was a little girl, I simply wanted to be “me”. I always wanted to feel at home in my own mind, heart, and body. In the decades since, I have been continuously seeking knowledge, methods, and mentors in a lifelong search for answers and guidance. I wanted to have a life full of meaning and connection. I longed to be heard and seen intimately and fully by those around me, and the universe at large. Ultimately, I longed to be seen and accepted as I am by the vision of my own heart. By discovering self-love and acceptance we can fully experience the love, peace, and joy we often crave. I created zigizen as my way of passing along a personal and beautiful approach for you to connect to your authentic nature and live your heart’s purpose.

As a yogini, artist, and spiritual teacher, I am motivated by the desire to create and share art and ideas to inspire others to live life authentically and fully. I thrive living on the edge of creativity and I would like to empower YOU to do the same. I hope that you will have the courage to live your unique heart’s purpose and that we all evolve into the next phase of our human and planetary development. An existence that encompasses awareness of others while also calling us home to our personal essence. Although that may sound a bit grandiose, even a bit new age, but wouldn’t you want to evolve and grow in YOUR authentic way and not have some external inauthentic force dictate to you what your life should be?

I am delighted to share the art and the inspirations that I find enriching to living authentic and mindful life. I invite you to reflect, listen, and embrace your life, your dreams, your aspirations, and your hopes, and then have the courage to live them. Wear your Sankalpa to remind you to live your truest intentions every day.

In my own discovery, listening to the whispers of my heart and living them, has been healing and joyful. It has changed my life.

It is in this spirit and philosophy that I share with you.

With gratitude, Sigal

Our Name

zigizen is made up of two parts that capture our vision.

To Zigi is to live from your heart not your mind. To be playful, creative, spontaneous, carefree, and trusting.  Inhabiting your life with a smile that reminds you to stay lighthearted while zig(i)zaging through life’s adventures.

and

Zen is for the aesthetic simplicity and introspective style we apply to the art. We are influenced by the zen school of thought that emphasizes meditation, inner wisdom, and expression in the moment as a life path.

zigi and zen together express the harmony and balance between surrender (trusting and letting go) and focused attention. It means to live a life grounded in freedom, spontaneity, ease, and simplicity.

Our Designs

We combine the element of round vessels, mostly spheres and circles, and the element of scrolls in all of our designs. Circles harmonize and help round the jagged edges of life, and inspire a sense of comfort and a feeling of being home. The scroll, inscribed with your unique and evolving heart’s purpose, resides in the round womb.

The c i r c l e, the sphere, the feminine aspect, embodies the element that protects, empowers, and nourishes, expressing the universal & whole.

The s c r o l l, the masculine aspect, embodies the principle of self-hood, personal power, and uniqueness, expressing the particular & personal.

The open vessels welcome change and remind us to remain present to life as it unfolds.

The paper scroll is an element in all the designs because life is a mystery of change and we encourage you to feel free to inscribe your scroll to reflect your intention freshly every day, or whenever you are moved.

We are committed to using materials and methods responsibly both ecologically and socially. Each creation is individually made with care in the United States. We do our best to support the U.S. economy, by using local materials and engage artists who share their talents through us.

Beauty and sharing love is an integral part of our vision. We strongly believe that by simply creating beauty and sharing it with others, we inspire people to create and live in a better world.
