The Cultivation of Levietate
Levietate is more than a brand; it is a living philosophy. It is the manifestation of a lifelong pursuit by its founder and curator, Yana Saint LéVie, to uncover the extraordinary within the ordinary and to elevate the daily act of living into an art form.
Yana Saint LéVie: Curator of the Elevated
Yana’s journey is rooted in her lifelong pursuit of beauty in its many forms, from creating art to designing tarot and oracle decks, she found that true connection was in the quiet, the enduring, and the meaningful.
In her early career, she traversed the worlds of multi-media art design, and sustainable products, where she curated an eye for the etherial, and other-worldly. This path led to a singular realization: that the most profound impact one can have was to become intentional with every aspect of your journey.
Yana founded Levietate as a sanctuary of methodical conscious curation. It is the culmination of her belief that our surroundings—the objects we hold, the spaces we inhabit, the values we champion—possess a latent energy. When chosen with care and integrity, they become levers for a more conscious, connected, and elevated life.
She is not a trend forecaster, but an intuitive navigator. Her role is that of a guide, sifting through the noise to present only what is well-made, soul-stirring, and inherently meaningful.
On the Cultivation of Levietate
The name Levietate is drawn from a word meaning "to rise, or cause to rise." For Yana, this is the core of everything.
To cultivate Levietate is a practice, a daily discipline that involves:
Pruning the Non-Essential: Actively removing the clutter—physical, digital, and spiritual—that clouds our focus and dilutes our energy. It is the courage to say "no" to the good, to make space for the great.
Planting with Purpose: Intentionally introducing elements into our lives that are built to last, that tell a story, and that serve a function both practical and poetic. It is the choice of the heirloom over the ephemeral.
Creating the Conditions for Growth: Understanding that a beautiful life requires a foundation of mindful habits, restorative environments, and a deep connection to the natural world. It is the patient work of nurturing the soil, not just demanding the bloom.
This cultivation is an active, ongoing process. It is the magic of transforming the mundane into the meaningful through conscious choice. It is the supernatural act of lifting a moment, an object, or a life from its ordinary state to one of greater depth, harmony, and resonance.
Levietate is both the path and the destination—the practice of rising and the state of being elevated.
