Junes’s Featured Artist: Ritchie Cavander-Cole
Little Book of Mantras is a photographic exhibition and accompanying photo book that weaves together black and white portraiture with short, meditative verses. It invites reflection on how we might navigate a world full of challenges with greater purpose, integrity, and presence.
The exhibition features images captured across Nepal, India, and Sri Lanka—intimate glimpses of everyday people embodying qualities such as love, devotion, joy, and resilience. Through moments of quiet work, spiritual practice, and human connection, this collection stands as a tribute to the enduring strength of the human spirit amidst the complexities of the human experience.
Ritchie is a documentary filmmaker and professional photographer whose work has been exhibited in over 44 countries. This marks his first solo photography exhibition.
10% of all proceeds from product sales will support the education of Sangita Jirel, a dedicated 16-year-old student from Jiri, Nepal. Ritchie met Sangita during his travels, and this contribution will help her pursue a university education—an opportunity her parents never had.

June’s Featured Business: Yogini Panda – Sama Mounib Myers-Daly
Having experienced the calming and grounding benefits of singing bowls and malas for herself, Sama felt called to share their magic with others. She began importing authentic singing bowls, gongs, and Ting Sha bells from Nepal, making it easier for those seeking these beautiful tools to access them locally.
Her malas are equally special. While traveling through Varanasi, Sama personally hand-selected each Rudraksha bead, dipping them in the sacred waters of the Ganges River for an added blessing. Every mala is lovingly handcrafted in her home in New Brighton, carrying a touch of both ancient tradition and heartfelt intention.
You can find a selection of Sama’s singing bowls and malas on display at The Bridge Hub throughout the month of June. Pop by the cabinet, have a look, and see which piece calls to you.
