Hello.
Welcome to the launch of Shining Keys. My name is Keiden Bren, one
half of Shining Keys. My wife, Shannon, and I have decided to take
the leap and to make the dream of launching our own business a
reality. We both love to make things and we really love creating
classes and workshops that give people safe spaces to explore
themselves and tools for personal empowerment and growth. For us this
launch means that dreams are coming true, both for us each
individually and for the collective us that is our relationship.
I
know I am not the only person in the world that dreams of being able
to financially support my family doing something that I love and what
I love doing is getting to work with my hands doing all sorts of
different crafts. By making this business our full time job some of
our crafts are no longer just weekend hobbies or something that we do
whenever we can squeeze an hour or two of art time into the daily
life schedule. Our reality now includes making sure there are bigger
chunks of time devoted to arting and crafting on the schedule and the
more opportunity there is to create the more opportunities there are
to create with my wife.
Devoting ourselves to this work full
time has also opened up our time to create new classes and the time
to be able to bring those classes and workshops to more spaces and to
more people. Now we don’t have to put a class idea on hold until the
other person gets home, we can talk about it right then in the moment
and brainstorm out an idea that turns into a class. My days, though
still filled with mundane daily tasks, are now starting to be full of
art, music, and creation and in a moment it hits me; I am living the
dream already.
