Rich city kolibri

Richmond-BASED community wellness & culture brand by vee cowles

Rich City Kolibri is a creative brand and cultural offering dedicated to building community through wellness, support, and resilience.

Rooted in Richmond, VA, RCK holds space for collective and personal transformation through sensory-based workshops, embodiment practices, and handmade wellness goods.

In Vee’s words, it’s a “love letter in motion” to the city that raised her—one that taught her how to show up for herself and others, how to tell the truth, and how to hold space for change.

Through every offering, Rich City Kolibri invites people into deeper connection with themselves and each other—toward healing, wholeness, and a more just world.

Our intention for Ease is to offer a breath, a pause, a return.
Born from the warmth of midsummer and the rhythm of Richmond’s streets, Ease is where culture meets care. It is a sensory installation for those who carry joy not as escape, but as embodiment. Inspired by breeze off the river, ripe fruit in the sun, and the way beauty blooms even in concrete—Ease reminds us that softness is not weakness, it’s wisdom.

Ease was created to ritualize rest, to hold space for pleasure, and to root self-care in the richness of everyday life. It’s for everyone who knows that healing can be delicious, sacred, and shared.

I’m so excited for this installation. You can find the full Ease collection—perfumes, oils, candles, incense, and more— at St. Luke Legacy Center’s Lotus Brunch on 7.19.25.

Thank you Richmond. I love you.

Our intention for Risen is to invite you into an experience where resilience meets rest. Embracing the profound symbolism of equinox, the rise of the sun, we can acknowledge the challenges of the dead season while recognizing it as a gateway for growth. Risen was designed for ritualizing everyday acts of self-care to navigate life's cycles, embody strength and wisdom, and the unfolding of the new.

Risen was well received. I am so thankful for y’all trusting me as I evolve and my products and services evolve. The remaining oils & scrubs can be purchases at The Well Collective through June. Stay tuned for the next installation.
