The Winter Soulstice "The Longest Night"  is a celebration and unveiling of something deeply close to my heart: The Hippie House. Set within the vibrant Bespoke House artisan community at 4624 Park Street, Jacksonville, FL, this space is designed as a safe haven for artists to connect with their higher selves and rediscover their creative flow. As someone born and raised in Jacksonville, this project represents a fusion of my passion for artistry, community, and self-expression.

The Hippie House offers a unique experience, from a self-care station that incorporates all elements of grooming—including Fancci Kuts —where artistry meets impeccable care, to a curated collection of fashion featuring vintage designer pieces and local streetwear. This is a space where creativity isn’t just encouraged but nurtured, and it’s built on one core mission: to cancel the concept of the starving artist. My mission is to show my peers this is for us and by us. 

The Winter Solstice serves as a grand opening celebration, showcasing the community we’re building. The event will feature live music from talented local artists, as well as vendors offering incredible goods and services. Fun and Games in collaboration with Art Z WHeelZ. Among the other amazing sponsors for this exciting initiative are Kalypso , BlindBear and Tiny Little Tech Shop, which is generously giving away a few $1,500 custom PCs - one to a Twenty Knots member with an active membership and another to any artist member who commits to a full year’s membership. As a bonus, anyone using the keyword "Soul" gets their first month of membership on me.

As for me, I’m Soul. A Jacksonville-born artist, I live and breathe creativity. Whether I’m hosting my interactive comedy livestreams "Blazed and Amused" alongside my co-host, Appa the Glass Bender, or making music or being a stylist, I pour my passion into everything I do. My company, Everybody Needs Therapy, focuses on supporting artists with outlets and resources to sustain their creative flow. This project, and especially The Hippie House, is an extension of that vision—a place where artists can feel seen, supported, and inspired.
