What do we talk about when we talk about inhabiting?

Inhabiting our authenticity: our philosophy.

A person inhabits themselves, while also inhabiting spaces. However, the spaces themselves inhabit us, condition us, and shape us in return. It could be said that we constantly occupy a place in space, just as space occupies a place within us; a physical place, but also a metaphorical, emotional, and identity-related place.

All of the above raises questions that confront us when making the decision - from this conscious perspective - of how to build relationships with the spaces we inhabit, and how these spaces in turn shape and influence us. Are we the ones who should adapt our authenticity, character, and way of being in life to the space, or should the space itself adapt to us? To what extent can we consider a place our own if we do not feel it as such? Or, in other words, to what extent does a place belong to us if we do not belong to it? And, ultimately, what should our relationship be with the space we inhabit, considering that this same space shapes us internally?

What do we talk about when we talk about living authentically, if not about having full awareness of who we are and how we inhabit others and everything else? What do we talk about when we talk about imagining, if not about taking a journey with our minds through other facets equally stored within us? What do we talk about when we talk about inhabiting, if not about constantly conquering space through tangible expressions of our inner self?

Claudia Grajales and María José Reynoso.

We are Claudia and María José, pillars of CORE.

We have a message for you:

From our perspective, space belongs to you, it embraces you and welcomes you only when your soul, essence, Being or, according to our own words, your Core, manages to merge with it. And that - essential and sensitively - is the journey we invite you to have with us: to inhabit yourself while inhabiting space, to belong to yourself and to belong, to imagine and create, to design tangible expressions of a space worthy of being occupied by who you are and stop giving in to spaces that do not belong to you because you have not claimed them.

Claiming your space and your belonging, while imagining and creating an environment that reflects your deepest authenticity.

It is what we want to do with you.
