It’s that time of year, sunflowers are out, reaching tall and blooming strong. Sunflowers aren’t just pretty faces in the garden, they’re also little eco teachers. Always looking towards the sun, they remind us that even when life gets heavy, we can still choose to lean toward the light. Sunflowers also carry powerful eco-lessons for how to live gently on this Earth. (more…)

You may have heard of chakras in yoga or come across them in Eastern religions or new-age practices like crystal healing. But what are chakras? We have put together some definitions and a chakra chart to help you out!
Chakras are areas of energy in the body that run from the base of your spine to the top of your head. There are seven basic chakras, each with a corresponding color and symbols. The Sanskrit word chakra (pronounced “CHOCK-rah”) means wheel, which refers to the spinning energy in each of the seven chakras.
Mushrooms are having a moment. They’re showing up in fashion, art, stickers, tees, and even in conversations about wellness and healing. At Soul Flower, mushrooms have been part of our designs for years, but lately they’ve become symbols of something bigger. So why are mushrooms everywhere right now? The answer goes beyond trends — it’s about connection, resilience, music, and even magic..

What has your silver lining been in 2020? This year has been… intense. Crazy. Unpredictable. Heartbreaking. Surprising. A dumpster fire. A blessing. Weird.
We’re still in the thick of it, but since we’re nearing the end of the calendar year it’s a good time for reflection. Here are a few prompts to get you thinking about the positives of 2020. A few of us here at Soul Flower included our responses.
Among this week’s new releases at Soul Flower, one is a never-before-seen design. It’s called “Butterfly Vibes” and features a butterfly launching from lotus petals. This design is a half mandala filled with om signs and celestial imagery. As a lotus grows from murk and mud, this lotus & butterfly remind us that we can all grow in positive ways even during the darkest of times. (more…)
You said you love seeing our designs from the start of the drawing to the final piece of art that you see on our clothes… but it’s been a few years since we’ve taken you behind the scenes to our screen printing shop. We have two crazy-talented screen printers who work every day to get your favorite designs printed on our eco threads. And because they do it all by hand, each item is its own unique piece of art!

We’ve all seen them: the bread makers. Those people in quarantine that rolled up their sleeves and got to work creating fluffy, salty and experimental bread loaves. So I thought I’d take a minute to share with you all that my kitchen has also been taken over by bread. How does this pertain to Soul Flower? Well my partner joined our Soul Flower family over quarantine as our new assistant screen printer. Now he can print you a t-shirt and make you a beautiful garlic and chive loaf. So put on your fave SF tee and some fresh tunes and let’s make some bread. Or just look at these pictures I took instead.
Are you more of a Yogi or an Earth Warrior? A Hippie or a Free Spirit? Vibing Higher on the daily or yearning for a trip with your Wanderlust heart? It all starts with an eco-friendly Soul Flower look & maybe some vintage finds from your closet. Then we top it off with some eco, local, black-owned and artisan-made products for shopping inspiration.
Here at Soul Flower, we love our leggings! The leggings we produce are made from one of our favorite fabric blends: 87% organic cotton and 13% spandex. Safer for the planet, plus they retain their shape! Our leggings are made in the USA and screen printed by hand in our print shop in Minnesota.
On top of all that eco goodness, our prints are one-of-a-kind!

Since Covid-19 came to town there are two places I go to escape: one is my car and the other is my Aunt Laura’s garden. While my car may be filled with gas and music, it lacks the beauty and care that a 30 year old garden has. So today I’ll take you though a visual of what I see when I step inside her pride and joy.
Independence Day 2020 – no doubt this weekend will feel a little different compared to past celebrations. Instead of long road trips, big parties, crowded festivals, or park fireworks events, we’ll be sticking closer to home (nothin’ wrong with that) and finding new eco-friendly ways to enjoy July 4th.
While we’re bucking old traditions, let’s make it a little more eco-friendly, too. Maybe we’ll discover new traditions we like better; ones that are kinder to our planet and our souls.
