With over 18 years of experience in designing books, Erica self-published her first book, Art of Attention, ranked #1 on Amazon for design, now translated into six languages, and graphically designed Oprah Winfrey's The Wisdom of Sundays. After the making of Art of Attention, chakra studies helped her heal an addiction she had been battling for 25 years. Since then, she started helping others embrace their beauty to impact those they love. For the pasts ten years, Erica gathered over 200 women and men from more than 36 countries for week-long retreats to study one chakra at a time. In these retreats, Erica uses her background as a kundalini and vinyasa trained teacher, as well as her experience as a designer to introduce a new methodology-combining storytelling with emotionally connected yoga, visionary art, and nature- to inspire inner knowing, spiritual care and interconnectedness. For Angelus, Erica developed 21 yoga sequences, all illustrated with Asanaglyphs. Not only is she the spiritual mastermind behind the book, she also designed the book graphically. jagoyoga.com
In the past 13 years, Roos has worked in art, design, fashion, and film. Her multifaceted fields of work are subordinate to the creative process itself, as she seldom chooses to walk a road she has already walked. This courageous approach to art has consistently ended in surprising herself and others. In addition to being a gifted creative director, Roos is the winner of the Dutch TV show Project Runway, founder of her own fashion label, as well as the filmmaker of an original documentary on creativity titled To those still in doubt. A yoga practitioner since 2005, Roos has attended three of Erica's retreats and found them truly transformational. When Erica invited her to collaborate on her new book, she was immediately attracted by the possibility of connecting her art to a higher purpose. For Angelus, Roos was responsible for the creative concept. She translated the seven chakras into seven visual worlds, for which she designed the photoshoot concepts, costumes, props and styling. For Roos, Angelus is the ultimate platform to combine all of her talents and passions. roosvanderkamp.com
