Where Art Becomes Action…
Sometimes change begins with a meeting.
Sometimes it begins with a movement.
Sometimes it begins with a single brushstroke.
Mandalas Moving Mountains is a community art initiative by the Country Storehouse dedicated to supporting nonprofits, stewardship projects, small businesses, and causes helping rural communities thrive.
Each mandala begins with an intention.
Each intention becomes a story.
Each story becomes an opportunity for collective impact.
What started as a simple question:
"What if art could directly support community?"
…has become an ongoing experiment in creativity, connection, and generosity.
This page serves as the home for those journeys.
Welcome to the Country Storehouse studio.

Why Mandalas?
A mandala is more than a design.
It’s a practice. A discipline. A way to find one’s center to regulate, balance, & harmonize the inner & outer world in peace.
It is a reflection of one’s relationship with the greater world.
It’s sacred geometry. Connection. Wholeness.
Ancient in practice, yet medicine inside the modern world.
Every piece created through Mandalas Moving Mountains carries a story rooted in place, community, and purpose.
The artwork becomes a gathering place. The community becomes part of the creation. The impact extends beyond the canvas.

Mandalas Moving Mountains is guided by artist, community-builder, and Country Storehouse Founder & Creative Director, Vidette Wakenda Vanderweide.
For more than a decade, Vidette has explored the intersection of creativity, nature, community, and personal transformation through art, storytelling, immersive experiences, and hand-painted mandalas.
What began as a personal creative practice has evolved into a broader question:
What becomes possible when art is created in service to community?
Through Mandalas Moving Mountains, each piece becomes more than a work of art. It becomes a gathering place for stories, relationships, generosity, and collective impact.
Every mandala begins with an intention.
Every journey becomes an opportunity to strengthen the people, places, and projects that help communities thrive.

Now that you’ve entered the Field, take a Farm Tour…
Now that you’re here…let me show you around.
The Country Storehouse began as a wellness farm and studio vision in Trinity County, California.. Over time, it grew into something greater..
Not just a wellness brand.
Not just offerings.
It became a multi-dimensional, wellness ecosystem….
It has become something rooted “deeper” than just building a business. It has become a remembrance of a deeply primal re-direct “back to the future” of wellness.
The creation of a “new,” but deeply old, way of life.
A return to soil.
To planting seeds.
To tending what matters & letting go of what doesn’t.
To building a life rooted in stewardship, creativity, sovereignty, and shared, communal abundance.
It’s modern in structure.
Ancient in rhythm.
Centered in sovereignty.
Here’s what lives inside our wellness ecosystem:
Introducing the Country Storehouse regenerative eco-system…
The Farm
Rooting inspiration into the Earth.
Where ideas touch soil.
The Farm is the grounding branch — a return to rhythm, land, and the intelligence of growing things. Here we practice the art of sustainable living, herbalism, seasonal culinary experiences, community gatherings, and the practice of tending the land as a mirror of tending the self.
This is where inspiration becomes embodied through the Earth itself. It is the center of our eco-system where the hearts of our friends & family connect, souls rest, & the field abundantly harvests sustenance of all kinds.
The Studio
Creative communion as medicine.
The Studio is where expression becomes healing.
Through Finding Center mandala gatherings, art-based rituals, Lit From Within ceremonies, Signal Recode™ Calibrations, and community creativity, the Studio restores imagination as a vital organ of wellness.
Here, play is prayer, expression is transformation, & connection is clear.
The Practice/Eagle’s Nest
A sanctuary for inner work.
This is the branch of inner architecture — where we refine the emotional, mental, and energetic systems that hold us steady as life creators.
Through Human Design sessions, Resonance Therapy, emotional clarity practices, somatic restoration, and guided self-inquiry, The Practice restores sovereignty to the inner world; the Eagle’s Nest is the sanctuary where higher perspectives lead to greater awareness.
Here, the self becomes coherent, aligned, and ready to lead.
The Expeditions
ARC Journeys inward and outward to Awaken. Remember. Create.
ARC Expeditions are the transformational experiences of the Country Storehouse — structured journeys that reshape identity, purpose, and creative capacity.
Through our exclusive, 3-month, ARC group coaching containers, mini-courses, field explorations, and guided inner journeys, these inner and outer expeditions reveal the architecture of change & deepen the courage to navigate it.
Here, we travel the edges of becoming — and return renewed.
The Rooted Network
A rural framework for community wellness & regenerative government
The Rooted Network Incubator supports individuals and communities exploring more grounded, regenerative approaches to civic life. Through shared learning and place-based reflection, participants begin to understand governance as a relational practice rather than a distant system. It’s an invitation to engage locally, wisely, and at human scale.
Once You See It…
When the pieces of our ecosystem connect within, you can feel it.
The Farm.
The Studio.
The Practice.
The Framework.
They aren’t separate things.
They’re parts of the same architecture that create life.
And once you see how it’s built, you begin to see where you fit in creating an existence that is aligned to YOU; not the world-at-large dictating your direction. This eco-system is built for those desiring to create life according to their own, unique Human Design.
Some people come for community.
Some for clarity. Some for solace.
Some for centered recalibration.
ALL of it leads to a balanced, multi-dimensional, system of wellness within, that life begins to reflect that balance by transforming into a life only lived when one adventures into the deepest wilds of Self.
There’s room for all of it here and there’s more than enough room for YOU to join us.
When you’re ready to take a step beyond exploring, & deepen your experience, the door is open…
The Country Storehouse is rooted in Trinity County, California..
Mountain soil.
Crisp air.
Regenerative values.
Legacy medicine.
Modern clarity.
Local in land.
Global in signal.
Sacred in its rawest existence.
