From the Eye of the Storm
We learn to Dance
A place where art, breath, horses, story, and the spirit of Oaxaca come together to help us remember who we truly are
Sometimes life breaks us open.
Not to end our story.
But to begin a new one.
Tierra Azul Designs was born after a near-death experience that changed everything I thought I knew about success, healing, and what it means to truly live.
During recovery, mosaics became more than art.
Horses became teachers.
Breath became medicine.
Oaxaca became my North Star.
Together they revealed something I now believe with my whole heart:
Our light is never broken. Sometime we simply need help remembering it.
you are not here by accident…
Maybe you've been carrying too much for too long.
Maybe you're standing at the edge of a new chapter.
Maybe life has gently—or unexpectedly—asked you to begin again.
Whatever brought you here...
Welcome.
This is a place where broken pieces become beautiful mosaics.
Where horses remind us who we are.
Where breath brings us home.
Where Oaxaca awakens our spirit.
Where stories become invitations.
And where we discover that the light within us has been there all along.
This is more than a workshop, retreat or experience…
It's an invitation.
An invitation to slow down.
To breathe.
To create.
To reconnect.
To gather the broken pieces of your story and discover they still belong.
Whether we meet around a mosaic table, beside horses, beneath the Oaxacan sky, or through a keynote, the journey is always the same:
Coming home to yourself.

Meet the maker of the magik…
“I thought surviving the accident was the miracle….
Looking back, I think the miracle was finally learning how to live."
Hi, I'm Amy.
I'm an artist, facilitator, writer, speaker, and founder of Tierra Azul Designs.
After surviving a near-fatal car accident, I discovered that healing wasn't about returning to the person I had been.
It was about remembering the person I had always been.
Today I create experiences that help others do the same.
what if the life you’re longing for
...is already trying to find you?
You don't need to have all the answers.
You don't need to have your life figured out.
You only need the courage to take the next step.
I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
your next chapter doesn’t have to begin with all the answers.
Sometimes it begins with a pause.
A conversation.
A willingness to follow what quietly calls to you.
If you are feeling that invitation, I’d love to connect and explore what experience might best support your journey.
Upcoming Experiences
“Mending the Light; Rebuilding from the Earth through art, ritual and rest.”
Oaxaca is a land where the ancient world still breathes, where color is a language, and where life moves at the speed of the Earth. Mending the Light is not a typical sightseeing tour; it is a conscious invitation to slow down, soften your pace, and return to what is real.
This is a 7 day creative & cultural Sanctuary for the modern woman who is tired of the “noise of the world & doing it all.” An immersive experience designed to take you out of the frantic rush of daily life and ground you back into the rhythm of your own heart. Through the lens of deep indigenous artistry, we will explore the profound medicine of creating from the heart through the hands; witnessing different artisans and their talents while having time to create your own pieces.
Come hOMe to yourSELF in the arms of Oaxaca and let the energy and magic of these lands expand your perspective, soften your rhythm and reset your nervous system through grounding practices, creativity and the natural beauty of Oaxaca.
This summer, align your creativity with the rhythm of the moon. Join us for a series of unique mosaic experiences designed to help you connect, create, reflect and renew. Every month, we offer two distinct workshops tailored to the lunar energy.
New Moon Series: Held on Saturdays near the new moon at Mosaics in Montrose. A focused, creative studio space to set intentions and build your own mosaic masterpiece from scratch.
Full Moon Equine & Art Series: Held on Saturdays near the full moon at Metaphorse Healing Center. Co-facilitated with Jody Nixon, this powerful workshop blends the intuitive healing energy of horses with the transformative art of mosaics.
“As a facilitator, my style is fluido and organic. I believe the mosaic process mimics the journey of life - teaching us how to navigate the ups and downs, embrace the messiness of creation, and ultimately turn the broken into beauty. In my space, we leave perfection at the door. We focus instead on the flow of the creative process, using art as a metaphor to heal, release, and learn the gentle art of mending our own light.” ~ Amy Schweim
