LAUREN SHAPIRO: Being in
nature is where I feel the most
3
00:00:47,896 --> 00:00:49,344
authentically who I am.
4
00:00:53,965 --> 00:00:56,586
When I'm in the mountains,
when I'm by myself,
5
00:00:56,689 --> 00:00:59,793
when I'm on a hike,
when I'm on a walk
6
00:00:59,896 --> 00:01:04,068
like I'm hiking up a trail and
I can hear my own breathing,
7
00:01:04,172 --> 00:01:13,103
I just feel the most connected
to who I am a 1,000%.
8
00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:14,482
I'm Lauren.
9
00:01:14,586 --> 00:01:17,758
I live in Los
Angeles, California,
10
00:01:17,862 --> 00:01:21,000
and I have a cabin in Idyllwild.
11
00:01:21,103 --> 00:01:22,379
It was built in the '50s.
12
00:01:23,827 --> 00:01:27,896
I call it the Cedar Rock cabin
because there's a lot of cedar.
13
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,033
And it's also, I want
to say like knotty pine.
14
00:01:32,137 --> 00:01:35,172
And the fireplace
is all river rocks.
15
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:40,068
There's one big room up top.
16
00:01:40,172 --> 00:01:42,310
It's a big loft open
floor plan bedroom.
17
00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:47,378
And then downstairs,
there's a dining area,
18
00:01:47,482 --> 00:01:50,413
living area, the
main bathroom down
19
00:01:50,517 --> 00:01:51,965
here and then a small kitchen.
20
00:01:55,862 --> 00:01:59,137
Upstairs is my favorite,
the high-beam ceiling,
21
00:01:59,241 --> 00:02:03,655
the skylights and waking
up there, all the windows,
22
00:02:03,758 --> 00:02:04,827
it's like sleeping in the trees.
23
00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:10,413
The front deck, I feel,
is a very peaceful place.
24
00:02:10,517 --> 00:02:16,172
I meditate there, I read there,
I've fallen asleep there.
25
00:02:16,275 --> 00:02:18,344
In the mornings, it's nice
to go out there and just
26
00:02:18,448 --> 00:02:19,758
enjoy my morning rituals.
27
00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:27,724
I can see Tahquitz peak, which
is a huge rock that people hike
28
00:02:27,827 --> 00:02:28,724
and they climb it.
29
00:02:31,241 --> 00:02:33,896
When I first got this
cabin, there was just
30
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,586
like ugly carpeting, a
lot of holes in the walls,
31
00:02:37,689 --> 00:02:42,517
there was a smell
that was happening.
32
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:45,275
But I mean the bones of
this house are amazing.
33
00:02:45,379 --> 00:02:46,448
It just needed some TLC.
34
00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:49,000
I zhuzhed, yeah.
35
00:02:49,103 --> 00:02:51,448
But like in a
really modern way, I
36
00:02:51,551 --> 00:02:55,620
feel like, because there's still
a lot of the charm of the 1956
37
00:02:55,724 --> 00:02:57,448
cabin, like it's a log cabin.
38
00:02:57,551 --> 00:03:01,241
But it has some newer modern
touches, which I think
39
00:03:01,344 --> 00:03:02,689
sort of come together nicely.
40
00:03:07,034 --> 00:03:09,482
We're two hours
out from LA, East
41
00:03:09,586 --> 00:03:12,241
up in the San
Bernardino Mountains.
42
00:03:12,344 --> 00:03:13,862
It's very hidden.
43
00:03:13,965 --> 00:03:16,517
It's like cozy tucked
away community.
44
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:19,517
There are musicians,
and there are poets,
45
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:22,551
and there are writers, and
there are people who choose not
46
00:03:22,655 --> 00:03:25,655
to live in an urban
city for whatever reason
47
00:03:25,758 --> 00:03:27,793
that have gathered here
and formed a community.
48
00:03:27,896 --> 00:03:29,931
And it's very sweet.
49
00:03:30,034 --> 00:03:34,517
Most people who live here have
lived here for 50 plus years.
50
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:37,896
I came into this
community as an outsider.
51
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,067
And so I treat it
like I am a visitor.
52
00:03:41,172 --> 00:03:43,965
When I go to the hardware
store, when I go to the market,
53
00:03:44,067 --> 00:03:46,034
I'm just always
sure to try to get
54
00:03:46,137 --> 00:03:47,793
to know the residents
a little bit better,
55
00:03:47,896 --> 00:03:50,896
but also to just be
respectful of where
56
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000
I am and show care to the
land that I'm settling in on.
57
00:03:57,103 --> 00:03:58,482
[wind chimes]
58
00:04:03,310 --> 00:04:05,379
The ritual that I
consider most important
59
00:04:05,482 --> 00:04:07,517
here is to reconnect
with myself,
60
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:09,827
and that's why I come here.
61
00:04:09,931 --> 00:04:11,965
I'm a costume
designer on TV shows.
62
00:04:13,241 --> 00:04:14,896
TV production is really intense.
63
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,379
It's intense what I do, it's
intense industry to work in.
64
00:04:18,481 --> 00:04:20,447
When I feel like I'm
really overwhelmed
65
00:04:20,551 --> 00:04:25,068
and work has just bogged
me down, I come up here
66
00:04:25,172 --> 00:04:27,172
and I just feel calm.
67
00:04:28,517 --> 00:04:33,965
This cabin's given me a
nice respite from city life.
68
00:04:37,620 --> 00:04:40,241
A lot of the things, even
if they weren't handmade,
69
00:04:40,344 --> 00:04:42,172
have been gifted to
me over the years.
70
00:04:42,275 --> 00:04:44,827
And when I was thinking about
how to furnish this place,
71
00:04:44,931 --> 00:04:47,206
I gathered a lot of
my favorite things
72
00:04:47,310 --> 00:04:49,793
that I've been saving for this.
73
00:04:49,896 --> 00:04:52,034
And now I can walk
around the cabin
74
00:04:52,137 --> 00:04:55,137
and be like, oh, you know,
Michelle gave me that, Sam gave
75
00:04:55,241 --> 00:04:58,206
me that, Lisa gave me that.
76
00:04:58,310 --> 00:05:01,586
Just creates a very
loving place for me.
77
00:05:01,689 --> 00:05:03,413
Surrounding myself
with things that I
78
00:05:03,517 --> 00:05:05,931
love that come from people
that I love feels safe to me
79
00:05:06,034 --> 00:05:06,827
as well.
80
00:05:10,620 --> 00:05:14,068
Leah is a friend of mine
who is a well known artist,
81
00:05:14,172 --> 00:05:16,862
came up here for
a weekend, getaway
82
00:05:16,965 --> 00:05:19,896
alone, and spent a lot
of time on the deck
83
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,689
reading and just
connecting with herself.
84
00:05:22,793 --> 00:05:26,551
And she spent a lot of time
looking out at that peak.
85
00:05:26,655 --> 00:05:29,034
She gifted me this
really beautiful
86
00:05:29,137 --> 00:05:32,655
watercolor that she did sitting
from the deck of Tahquitz peak.
87
00:05:34,862 --> 00:05:40,034
Just that it inspired her to
make that, it's special to me.
88
00:05:42,724 --> 00:05:45,344
I have this really
beautiful space that I enjoy
89
00:05:45,448 --> 00:05:46,482
so much I want to share it.
90
00:05:47,862 --> 00:05:50,655
When I do have a friend
over, it's just casual.
91
00:05:50,758 --> 00:05:54,034
We'll make something
light and eat outside
92
00:05:54,137 --> 00:05:56,000
while it's still
light out on the deck,
93
00:05:56,103 --> 00:05:57,931
and just talk and catch up.
94
00:05:59,172 --> 00:06:00,827
I also have the luxury
of sharing it with them.
95
00:06:00,931 --> 00:06:02,655
If my friends are really
stressed out or going
96
00:06:02,758 --> 00:06:04,965
through a hard
time, I've been able
97
00:06:05,068 --> 00:06:08,931
to offer this space to them to
just go and unwind, and relax,
98
00:06:09,034 --> 00:06:11,724
and take time for
themselves, and
99
00:06:11,827 --> 00:06:13,137
everybody is so appreciative.
100
00:06:13,241 --> 00:06:15,344
And they love this
place as much as I do.
101
00:06:15,448 --> 00:06:17,758
Feels good to be able to
give that to somebody else.
102
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:22,517
I really wanted this to
be a comfortable place.
103
00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:23,931
I had a lot of
friends growing up
104
00:06:24,034 --> 00:06:26,413
who had like don't touch
houses where you would walk
105
00:06:26,517 --> 00:06:28,862
into their space and you
couldn't sit on a couch,
106
00:06:28,965 --> 00:06:31,517
because it was reserved for
like the special guests.
107
00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:33,793
And I feel like this was
the place where it needed
108
00:06:33,896 --> 00:06:35,275
to be comfortable, and
you could just make
109
00:06:35,379 --> 00:06:36,862
yourself at home immediately.
110
00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:45,448
Whether it's the
mountains or the oceans,
111
00:06:45,551 --> 00:06:46,448
that's where I feel best.
112
00:06:48,379 --> 00:06:51,793
In my late '30s, I began
to really understand
113
00:06:51,896 --> 00:06:55,137
that about myself, and the more
time I spent in these places
114
00:06:55,241 --> 00:06:57,965
the more I felt that it
was where I needed to be.
115
00:06:59,310 --> 00:07:04,068
I was very much into material
things and relationships,
116
00:07:04,172 --> 00:07:06,655
and I definitely
prioritize those things
117
00:07:06,758 --> 00:07:10,655
over being alone with myself
and connecting with the worlds
118
00:07:10,758 --> 00:07:12,206
at large.
119
00:07:12,310 --> 00:07:14,517
I just didn't understand
how important it was.
120
00:07:17,689 --> 00:07:20,275
I created this space
with intentionality
121
00:07:20,379 --> 00:07:24,689
and love and care, and
it's just been that for me.
122
00:07:24,793 --> 00:07:26,103
I was just getting emotional.
123
00:07:26,206 --> 00:07:28,103
It's just been that.
124
00:07:28,206 --> 00:07:31,241
I open the door, and immediately
like my heart feels joy,
125
00:07:31,344 --> 00:07:32,965
and I feel excited to be here.
126
00:07:33,068 --> 00:07:36,724
And I feel excited to make a
fire, and to put on a record,
127
00:07:36,827 --> 00:07:40,000
and to make a cup of tea
like I get truly excited
128
00:07:40,103 --> 00:07:42,586
and I feel joyful about it.
129
00:07:44,241 --> 00:07:45,551
At the end of the
day, I get to come
130
00:07:45,655 --> 00:07:47,965
here and just get
away from anything
131
00:07:48,068 --> 00:07:49,965
that I want to get away from.
132
00:07:50,068 --> 00:07:52,827
It's not a case of running
away from something.
133
00:07:52,931 --> 00:07:54,965
It's just a case of
reconnecting with myself
134
00:07:55,068 --> 00:07:59,551
and just finding my spirit
and calming my spirit.
