About Cinnamon Gypsea
Cora Schiller Owner of Cinnamon Gypsea
I have gypsy ancestors.
Their creativity, connection to nature and self expression
have been in many stories from around the world.
My heart tells me this is why I have so many passions
& my purpose to share my gifts.
I live on majestic Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
I can be found in the woods on long walks taking pictures of sights hardly anyone sees, or on beaches with my hoops at sunset.
Not very often, sunrise, as I am a night owl.
I have so many animal stories that I could tell you. Anyone that knows me, knows that my favorite animal is the butterfly, elephant and the hummingbird.
Those themes are expanding into my art.
I have had many magical encounters in my life.
I know nature is the soul medicine we all need to orient ourselves
in this time.
I have been blessed to be immersed in nature all my life
and witness to the beauty all around me to the smallest
of details.
This awareness is in direct contrast to the unnatural direction the world is being forced to submit to.
We all have a natural innate sense of compassion
and inner knowing. This wisdom is in each of us.
This is where our power & pure potential resides.
My offerings support this.
The name, Cinnamon Gypsea, is a reflection of my love
and wonder for the ocean.
I have lived by the sacred sea my entire life.
I started off as a nurse in my younger years
only to experience the limited time for
any caring or connection.
This led me to return to my own awarenesses
& to discover other ways of healing that
could align with my values.
As a lifetime student, I have learned many
other techniques and certifications
to match my own intuitive gifts.
- Reiki master 30+ years
- Hawaiian Massage
- Hot Stone Massage
- Healing Touch certification
- Ayurveda, Yoga, Primordial Sound Meditation (Deepak Chopra 2002-12)
- Mountain Sage Sound Healing
- Aromahead Aromatherapy
Movement is so crucial for overall well being and longevity.
I taught movement classes , yoga, bellyfit, gypsea fitness from my Cinnamon Gypsea Spa in Qualicum Beach, BC of 32 years.
One of my main interests is the hoop.
I was thrilled to discover that I could take this natural medicine to the sea, forest and mountain tops.
Once you are a hooper, you are in a community.
This led me to travel to Bali, Thailand to teach/perform
and learn the power and transformation of this sacred healing circle.
You can find me with my hoop everywhere.
The Health and Art Connection
Over the years, I’ve discovered that all of my various offerings are connected,
and integral to one’s overall wellness.
Have you ever noticed that the word “art” is nestled within “heart”?
Now, I’m excited to share the next chapter of my journey with you.
With a new mobile focus, I can travel to other places and groups
who want to grow and heal together.
I’m especially enthusiastic about pursuing my passion for visual art
and sharing it with the world.
I can’t wait to see my art reach both local and international homes.
I make my own signature oils blends, soaps, and boho jewelry.
Recently, I have been drawing with wood burning tools on local reclaimed wood.
In the last three years I have further developed my own artistic practices
with acrylic painting, mixed media & collage.
