In The Beginning
There was a young lady... about 17 years old... who modeled and hoped someday to be a fashion designer and illustrator. A couple of years later she started caring for her body with natural ingredients that she made from scratch. In the late 70's, few people created these types of organic skincare products, let alone wrote national magazine articles about it.
Extraordinary enthusiasm
Ten years later, now a woman embarking on her quest, the curious explorer totally immersed herself in ayurvedic studies. Self-cultivated eastern practices incorporating a myriad of meditation styles, healing exercises, pranayama breathing techniques, martial art modalities, and veganism became her way of life.
For a long time, it had been an advocation for her along with her passionate pursuits of the arts, culture, music, dance, cooking, fitness, and travel. Now, some years later, that same enthusiastic woman is at it again with Passionary - a modern, eco-luxe line of sustainable, natural and clean products for the total being.
Dianne C Harrison has a vision and the talent for capturing our collective stories through products that echo our individual yet common experiences; offerings that are a sensory shorthand for a profoundly, otherworldly grace for living. Passionary presents a course of actions that brings all of her passions together in extraordinary ways.

My Story Now
I'm in love with the phenomena of wonderment, creativity and exploration...be it fine arts, theater, writing, fashion, music, dance, culinary art...just creating... expressing oneself, that defines oneself. It's a pendulum swing between surrealism and realism. A cross into the sublime from serendipity.
I've always been curious to know from where my creativity emanates - knowing how I fire it up. From my special place that only I am able to access from intimately knowing myself, I knew I need to
be still... be reflective... be into me and let my inner voice speak. And it did. In difficult times and in good times. In times of sorrow and in times of elation.
I've learned whatever the oh-so-precious times are, require that I abandon fears that I've held onto way too long and that I nurture my mind, body, spirit, and soul in ways that give full expression and meaning to my life.
I haven't always lived by this philosophy. There was a time in my life where my sons and I had to overcome unspeakable adversities. Thinking something must change, I set about creating a healing sanctuary for us out of sparse possessions and familiar things I could make from common objects around my kitchen.
Determined I wasn't going to let a series of tragedies unhinge us, I began paying attention to my inner voice. "Be still," it whispered. I wanted to hear more. So, in my quiet times, I lit candles, took long baths, sipped tea, and journaled on comfortable pillows I made. Revelations and epiphanies abounded.
I developed a keen awareness coming out of those difficult experiences. Learning from trial and error, pushing through it, and living in it, the one thing I realized is that I am way stronger than I ever thought; and as I continually work past my fears, I know I am defined more by my inner strength than my outer circumstances. More importantly, I found that it's never too late to pursue one's passion and never too late to show up in extraordinary ways...
...and show up in extraordinary ways I did: as a passion advocate, truth seeker, social entrepreneur, bathing culture influencer, and WEC activist, I accumulated a wisdom that spoke truth to passion.
Herein lies the genesis of Passionary... my clarion call... a journey that grows as I grow; a journey that takes me to deeper meaning and greater heights between the earth and sky; a journey that continues to intensify as I live what I believe to be my purpose in life.
