Featuring Muna Arzouni

Celebrated for her original style and holistic approach to everyday practices, Muna Arzouni, originally from the Middle East, now blends her cultural traditions with a lifestyle immersed within the West London community, where she and her family have been living for the past 19 years. 



“My MS coat is my treasure. Every time I put it on it is as if I’m wearing it for the first time. Its magic is eternal. It certainly gives me confidence, I feel like a female warrior in it.”

Do you collect anything?
The only thing I seek to collect is precious moments with my family.

On the experience of motherhood -
Motherhood has been full of surprises. It’s an out of control, erupting volcano of overwhelming love, strength (that I never thought I could acquire), vulnerability, daily battles, joy and pride. It is becoming a river of patience for the trees that are slow to grow, so that someday they’ll bear the best fruit.




Do you have a spiritual practice?
I practise spirituality in most of my everyday activities. Whatever I do or say, I try to do it with mindfulness and dynamic consciousness.
