Must Be the Season of the Witch | Connecting with the Dead

Many of you know me as the boho goddess garment gal...That’s still me. But I’m also an artist, Dream teacher and life coach since the 90's. I’ve started recording weekly YouTube vlogs where I talk about the deeper side of our lives — dreams, intuition, ancestors, creativity, and personal power as we get older.

This week’s episode is called “Must Be the Season of the Witch | Connecting with the Dead,” and it’s perfect for this time of year when the air shifts and the veil feels thin. 

I’m sharing true stories (including a warning dream I had for a client), how to work with messages from loved ones who’ve crossed over, and how to build a simple healing ritual to release what you’re done carrying. If you’ve been feeling someone with you… if you’ve been dreaming more… if you’re ready to clear old energy and call your strength back — make a cup of tea, and watch. 🔮✨

🖤 Feeling a Little Beetlejuice? 🖤
When the moon starts whispering and the black cats start scheming, it’s your cue to raid the closet for something fabulously witchy.

Our in-stock black pieces are not just clothes — they’re instant Halloween alchemy. A striped tunic becomes your “midnight mischief” look. 

Add boots, bold earrings, and that hat you never wear till the spirits stir — and voilà, you’re the chicest enchantress on the block.

We are never too old for dress-ups — that’s the real magic! So grab a swirly skirt, a flowy kimono, or one of our black goddess tunics, and play. Add a scarf that moves like smoke, a big ring, or that wide-brim hat that turns every sidewalk into a runway. Whether you’re channeling your inner sorceress or just sipping cider in style, Sunheart’s goodies have you covered — from spellbinding stripes to mysterious drape and all the mischief in between.

You know me through Sunheart—as a fashion desinger of color, flowing fabrics, goddess styles, and all things boho.

But I have another love, my lifelong love of art, painting, and spiritual creativity. Lately, I’ve felt called to share that side again.

The world feels full of noise and change—and everywhere we turn, there’s talk of AI, technology, and what it means to stay human in the middle of it all. I even asked a chatbot a question about what humans can do in to retain our hands on creativity, and its answer surprised me—and inspired this vlog and podcast on Kristena West Art & Healing on YouTube and Podcast on KristenaWestArt.com/podcast

I think many of us are craving something that restores us—something real. For me, that’s creativity. Whether it’s color, brush, fabric, or the courage to make something new, it’s how I find balance, hope, and joy.

So I’ve started a new vlog series about creativity and soul connection. It’s my way of offering you a breath of inspiration—a reminder that your creative spark matters, especially now, in a world that sometimes feels like it’s forgetting the human touch.

There’s something magical about black. It’s the color of mystery, moonlight, and pure goddess confidence. Whether you’re draped in shimmering gold-on-black, wrapped in a flowing kimono, or stepping out in all-black simplicity, these are the garments that whisper power and presence.

Fashion is not just what we put on in the morning—it’s how we step into our day. A scarf jacket is more than a layer; it’s a statement of ease, grace, and quiet confidence. The airy drape, the painterly prints, the way it floats around the body—this is wearable art. It transforms a simple outfit into something with presence, a little runway moment that belongs to you. Vogue once called it the genius of fashion when form meets feeling, and scarf jackets are exactly that: functional comfort dressed up as elegance.

For women navigating real life—meetings, travel, brunches, family time—scarf jackets give both coverage and freedom. They skim over curves without hiding them, elongate the body without effort, and shift with every mood. Slip into ocean blues for calm clarity, choose fiery reds for boldness, or reach for violets and florals when you want to feel radiant. Clothes speak a language long before we do, and these flowing jackets let us broadcast our inner mood without compromise. They whisper: I am here, I am strong, and I am beautifully myself.

True style is pure empowerment. A scarf jacket celebrates your shape, honors your individuality, and flows with natural grace. It invites movement, creates a silhouette that’s powerful and feminine, and enhances every step with confidence. When we choose clothing that reflects who we are—free, expressive, and radiant—we embody the very essence of modern style. The beauty of the scarf jacket is how it uplifts us, allowing us to move through the world as our most authentic and luminous selves.

At Sunheart, every piece carries a story — this one begins in a moonlit garden worthy of a French château. Drawn from Kristena West’s personal archives, the design recalls the elegance of antique French tapestries, with delicate blooms scattered across a deep black ground, framed by a miniature border adapted from our beloved Deep Woods tapestry.

Think of your bathroom as your personal retreat — a place to pause, refresh, and refill your energy. Choose colors that evoke your mood: serene aquas for calm, sunny corals for joy, or gentle florals for that garden-in-bloom feeling. Pair your curtain with plush towels, a few green plants, and a scented candle, and you’ve created a spa right at home. The gentle curves of the design, the play of light and shadow, and the colors that brighten even the cloudiest morning will lift your spirit before the day begins.

There’s a new mood blowing through Sunheart—bright, bold, and full of movement. Our just-arrived boho jackets, kantha coats, and floaty chiffon dusters are breathing life into every outfit. Whether you love layered patchwork, dramatic sleeves, or sweeping lengths, these pieces are wearable art. Designed for women who dress with soul, color, and confidence—this drop is your invitation to shine.

Since 2004, thousands of women have found their way to SunHeart—therapists, mystics, artists, rebels, creators. Women who don’t want fast fashion or trends—they want garments that honor who they are. We design for every shape, every size, every age—because real women deserve real style that flows, flatters, and feels amazing.
