My Story

Mindful Bubbles: Bringing Joy Across South America

Hi, I’m Azul, creator of Mindful Bubbles, a community art project born during the pandemic, when I discovered how something as simple as soap bubbles could bring calm, smiles, and connection in a time of fear and isolation.

For the last four years in San Francisco, I’ve been filling parks, streets, and festivals with bubbles, inviting people of all ages to pause, laugh, and reconnect with their inner child. I’ve seen toddlers chase their first giant bubble, grandparents laugh like kids again, and strangers become friends through play.

Now, it’s time to bring this joy back home to parks, plazas, and neighborhoods across Mexico, Brazil, and All over Argentina!

This isn’t a performance, it’s an invitation.

An invitation to play, to wonder, and to share small moments of mindfulness and connection with strangers and neighbors alike.

My Aim:

Community Gatherings, turning plazas and parks into playful, welcoming spaces.

Inclusive Joy , creating mindful moments that unite people across generations and backgrounds.

Rooted in Argentina, reconnecting with my community while spreading joy across the continent .

Why It Matters

Mindful Bubbles isn’t just about bubbles , it’s about joy as a necessity, not a luxury.

Each floating bubble reminds us to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the present moment , to rediscover that playful part of ourselves that knows how to smile at simple things.

Your support helps create ripples of connection that go beyond borders bringing joy, calm, and mindfulness to thousands across South America.

Join the Journey

If my bubbles have ever made you smile or if you believe the world needs more moments of calm joy, I’d love your support in keeping this project floating.
