Why the Octopus?
The octopus is an incredibly unique creature, thought by some ancient civilizations to be the only survivors here on Earth of a previous alien race. With their 3 hearts, 9 brains, and blue blood, it’s no wonder! They’re solitary and introverted by nature, and yet, there are groups (called consortiums) who seem to gather to live & work near each other as it makes the most sense to work together for survival. (Apparently, they’re sometimes a little grumpy about it though, and bicker a bit, lol!)
These 8-limbed sages of the sea are creative, playful, intelligent, and famously flexible. There are also 8-limbs of yoga, an 8-fold path of Buddhism, turned on it’s side the number 8 represents infinity, and in numerology 8 denotes strength, endurance and the balance between achievement & giving back. It is our sincere hope to create a community of connection, a ‘conscious consortium’ if you will, that continually gives back in meaningful ways to the world around us.
Origins
Meet the Founder
Abigail Webster (known online as IndigoGrrrl) has been an entrepreneur in the wellness industry since 1999 when she started her first small business as a massage therapist. Since then she's become a Reiki Master, an E-RYT 500, ran brick & mortar wellness studios for 17 years, co-facilitated a Registered Yoga School, and assisted in training over 200 yoga teachers (and thousands of students). Hosting yoga/wellness retreats has been a passion since 2018 that she continues to deepen.
In 2022, Abby launched an NFT project which offers free wellness and mental-health resources to holders. It's a small, organically grown community of like-minded, tech-loving, kind souls from around the world who value innovation & forward thinking. It's a small facet of the whole that is Elev8, but it's where this iteration of a longstanding wellness & lifestyle brand originated. It will always be a special part of the core of who we are, and will continue to be woven into the background as we move forward.
On a personal level, IndigoGrrrl is a busy mom of 3 teenagers, 3 birds, and 2 cats. She loves to travel, see live music (bonus when both happen), practice yoga/meditation/ecstatic dancing, and to cook (both indoors and out). Creating art thru various mediums including writing are also among Abby's many passions.
