Welcome to Holy Mischief Love, Creativity and Other Sacred Business

March 22, 2025

Dear friend,

Welcome to HOLY MISCHIEF. We are so happy you are here.

Our story begins in 2012 when Filiz made a pilgrimage from her home in Turkey to North America. Thanks to a mutual friend, she met Debra in North Carolina and after a matter of hours, they moved from curious and intrigued to delighted, enchanted and connected. Like new old friends reunited. Filiz invited Debra to Turkey (to teach natural beekeeping). Debra said yes (and immediately had to google where Turkey was). They fell into each other’s lives, igniting a profound friendship and years of astonishing adventures.

We know we are blessings in each other’s lives. We both celebrate creativity, intuition, growth spurts, laughing, mourning, making and flowering. We commit to keeping our eyes and hearts open to the everything of these times; to the beauty and sacredness of this life; and to keeping our light lit as we create a safe container for others to do the same. We feel an infinite tenderness towards this precious earth and everyone who lives here (human and other-than). And we are devoted to keeping love alive … and well.

For years we have yearned to collaborate in some form of creative endeavor … and the time, at long last, is now: 2025. These are momentous and auspicious, rock and roll times. When we gaze in any direction in the world, we see both profound suffering and astonishing beauty. Our deep calling is to flourish soul-centric, compassionate, resilient and creative lives. We are poets, artists and lovers; explorers, rascals and indomitable creatives. We are intensely curious. And we know we are born for these times.
