About

At some point in life, we come to understand what it truly means to be human, what sets us apart.

We realize that our responsibility is real. Our fulfillment and our joys of life depend on it. The fundamental principles of our human nature show us that we actually play the defining role in that.

Once no more doubt remains on how we are the source of our experiences, we unlock the doors to life’s potential.

Our ignorance unveiled, we embark on our adventure, aiming for our dream. It’s the oldest story of mankind.

Without knowing it, we’ve been creating our life all along. The empowering news is that all of our partners of co-creation reside within us. Some of them, we can easily get to know, but others hide in our unconsciousness and require a new set of tools.

Power and control are our favorite ways, but they only get us so far. On this adventure, we shift our attention and learn to master our inner world. It is this world that defines all of our experiences. This way of living becomes a lifestyle.

Nature doesn’t rely on power and control. Yet, its force is unmatched. Nature holds the ultimate track record, not just in survival, but in manifesting its potential in breathtaking ways.

Its main strategies are rooting and letting go.

As children of nature, these strategies lie dormant within us. Informed about our human nature, we activate them by nurturing our virtues. It is the most natural way to manifest our unique gifts into the world.

Our virtues become our new allies of co-creation, supporting a different way of making choices.

The most transformative tool on this adventure is the Mirror of Life. Our surroundings reflect our unconscious creations, and our home is our most personal one. Interior decoration becomes a tool on the journey of liberation.

We realize, that out of all the meaning life holds, we are the ones creating it. And through meaning, we direct our attention.

The hummingbird, represents lightness, courage and savoring the present moment. With its quiet message; ”I do what I can”, it is the perfect ambassador for the Sakura Lifestyle.

Sakura Living emerged from the artist's own transformative journey. After a decade in the domain of personal development, in 2013, he discovered the timeless process of co-creation. He started writing and used it as his guide. His life and his creations took shape around it.

In 2025, he finished the lanterns for the bonsai trees collection and offers his writings as the Sakura guide; “Adopting the Sakura Lifestyle”.

It is his mission to empower you, to transform your daily life into an adventure of co-creation and self-mastery. And although this adventure may lead to faraway places, it always starts at home.

“I invite you to the oldest story of mankind.”

Steven Pauwels, Artist & Founder.
