Be Present Mindfully...
That's How You Become a Present
to the World.
{"Every soul blooms. In love. To Freedom. As who you truly are."}
"To learn from the trees, the rocks, the earth, the living beings... in the world, you need to see them and yourself first."
"It's a matter of Perspective.
And then, the Action."
"Feel them and see them...
with your whole body."

Zoe Ke-Ni Shao is a self-taught artist, a healer, a medium for spiritual channeling, and an avid learner for cosmic wisdom from Taiwan.
Growing up in the beautiful subtropical countryside of Taiwan, she sees the plentiful wilderness as her Guru since she was little, but it is not until her adult life hit the rock around 10 years ago did she stepped onto the soul-searching journey and learned to heal herself by learning from the wilderness and the spirits. This painful and fruitful process educates and builds who she is right now.
Zoe has an MA in English Literature from National Taiwan University. She was the PR officer in the international competition for innovative climate action in Europe in 2022 (Solar Decathlon Europe). For her, sustainability is not a new concept, but the nature of our world, since in her spiritual vision, we are part of the interconnecting universe.
Drawing and writing have been the expression method for her soul since she was very little. Despite the 30 years of an intense relationship with her creative force and lots of works, Zoe is determined to take her artistic pursuit seriously just in 2022.
She was shortlisted by the Earthbound Residency program in Denmark for the Curious Encounter Residency 2023. Later in 2023, was selected as the artists to be residents in Arteles Creative Center, Finland, for the June 2023 residency period.
