Elon alumna Victoria Rodriguez is the founder of Orgonite Dreamland, a small company that sells handmade, unique orgone creations. Orgonite is a healing tool capable of cleansing surrounding energy and emitting positive orgone energy. Today, Orgonite Dreamland produces orgonite pyramids, cubes, charging plates (or coasters), phone buttons and semi-spheres.
This is achieved through a combination of quartz-based crystals, metals and materials molded in resin. It is an “energetic washing machine, if you will,” said Rodriguez, the orgonite company’s artist and entrepreneur.
Every living and nonliving thing in the universe has a vibration, she explained. While some are positive, we understand that others can be negative and detrimental. So, orgone is used to scrub the negative orgone energy clean and emit only positive energy.
Humans, or beings of higher thought, are able to raise their vibrations into the universe. This concept resembles that of the pop culture phrase “good vibes,” as positive vibrations are higher than negative vibrations, which includes vibrations emitted by electricity and appliances that can negatively impact humans.
The basic idea is this: “When quartz is placed in resin, resin shrinks as it dries. That shrinking then places a pressure on the quartz-crystal that doesn’t ever let up,” she said.
This is important because squeezing the quartz-crystal emits a piezoelectric effect, “which means it is emitting a low electric current,” she said. “It won’t damage electronics. It can’t cause any harm to anything, but it is a really low-grade electric current.”
This orgone energy, with the particles bouncing around constantly, is what scrubs negative energy clean and creates healing benefits.
Rodriguez’s process to create orgonite is fundamentally energetic. “I definitely put my energetic intentions into them as I am making them, so that they will find where they’re supposed to end up,” she said.
Once the orgonite is curated, it does not need to be balanced, cleansed or re-charged. No two pieces are exactly the same, but that is representative of the unique process.
Her creative process is a multi-faceted collection of her passion and knowledge across various disciplines that allows her to create unique products. She does not limit herself to one hat, but instead wears several.
Rodriguez said she sees herself differently day-to-day—sometimes as a scientist, a dancer, an artist or even an esthetician because her inherent creativity takes her in many directions.
While some may be overwhelmed by choice, Rodriguez has found freedom in her multi-passionate, creative nature. She said she knows her good intentions surrounding creation ensure that her pieces will end up where each is meant to be in the universe.
