Barbara Bacigalupi founded UMANO as a concept-based company to develop and market her writings and designs. The company published her way of life philosophy as Truly Human - An invitation to think in new and powerful ways. Based on Eight Principles of Truly Human growth, she advocates conceptual thinking and self-directed visioning as necessary for building our authentic humanity. All of the product lines she designs are intended as \"objects of affection,\" designed to be used in mindful meditation and visioning practices as a means for fostering greater humanity, compassion, and joy. TRULYHUMANmedallions are Barbara\'s hallmark line which combines carved medallions of symbols from Western or Eastern civilizations with semi-precious minerals, creating \"Jewelry for the Home to Inspire the Spirit.\" As a means for providing modern women with a connection to women from another time and place, vintage Japanese Obi tapestries are redesigned by elegant pillows, wall art and personal accessories. Other lines include, LUXE-LiIFESilks, JEWELRY-to-Treasure, and iPad and BOOKjewels. All products are accompanied by positive personal growth messages and are intended to be shared with coming generations. Heirloom quality production standards are upheld as all products are made by hand in Northern CA using components gathered from around the world. BarbaraBacigalupi.com is a unique online store that combines an extensive learning center designed to communicate cultural histories and tolls for self-growth with a shopping experience.
