💎 Where It All Began...


Like many people, I found myself searching for calm, connection, and something meaningful during a challenging chapter of my life. That search led me to crystals—not just for their beauty, but for their grounding, uplifting energy.


But my journey truly began on a trip home to Africa. While visiting a small craft shed, I came across the most captivating crystal mobiles I had ever seen. Each one told a story—full of light, purpose, and soul. I was entranced not just by their sparkle, but by what they represented.


It was there I discovered the incredible work of heART AT WORK®, an initiative based in South Africa’s Helderberg Basin. Their mission is deeply inspiring:

“To empower economically marginalised parents from disadvantaged communities to earn a sustainable income, care for their families, and become positive role models through craft, skill, and connection.”


As an African, I’ve always held a deep love for my roots, and a desire to give back. I knew I wanted to be part of this mission. So, I began partnering with heART AT WORK®—helping bring their handcrafted mobiles to the UK and beyond, offering them a platform and market they might not otherwise reach.


Their motivation became my brand’s heartbeat:

"We believe in Ubuntu: 'I am because we are.' Success is a collective effort—whether raising a child, building a business, or uplifting a community. We believe that small acts of kindness create ripples of lasting impact."


That’s how The Sprit of Ubuntu was born:
🌿 A place where energy meets artistry
🌙 A collection of handmade crystal mobiles that support emotional wellbeing
✨ A space for you to reconnect with what matters


Every purchase you make helps keep this circle alive—supporting mothers, fathers, families, and futures in a meaningful and lasting way.


Thank you for being part of this story.


Together, we’re spreading light—one crystal, one heart, one act at a time.
