Carolyn Rafaelian, ALEX AND ANI Founder, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer said, “When like-minded people get together, magic and momentum occur. David Lynch Foundation is an extraordinary organization from its core. Educating the world that power within comes from a still mind. A simple sentence with life-changing results. I commend the work they do, support it, and feel honored to be part of such a soulful Foundation.”
David Lynch said, “It’s so beautiful that ALEX AND ANI values charitable giving. With their help, the David Lynch Foundation is stronger, as we work to reduce the effects of trauma and toxic stress for all people, especially at-risk populations. The Meditating Eye Collection was created as a symbol, encouraging every human being to access that ocean of pure consciousness within.”
