About Bliss Chains®

Bliss Chains® is a registered organization devoted to supporting grieving individuals and families through live music, painting, mindfulness events and creative classes.

Our gatherings and offerings provide safe, art-centered spaces where remembrance, creativity and community restore the heart.

Our Beginning

Bliss Chains was born from a choice—the choice to embrace self-compassion and to seek joy even in the shadow of loss.

During the pandemic, our founder, Genesis G. Ilada, faced the passing of five beloved family members in a single year. From that grief emerged the understanding that while pain is inevitable, the way we walk through it is a sacred decision.

Through painting beneath open skies, writing poetry, and practicing mindfulness, Genesis found a path back to life. Those same creative acts now form the foundation of Bliss Chains’ mission: to help others rediscover peace, gratitude, and inner strength through art and community.

What We Offer

Bliss Chains brings together artists, musicians and healers to create experiences that honor remembrance and renewal.

Our work includes:

• Live music and sound gatherings that soothe the spirit

• Painting and creative workshops that invite expression and reflection

• Mindfulness and art-therapy classes that nurture emotional well-being

• Collaborative projects such as Remembrance™, a seasonal anthology of stories, portraits, and rituals celebrating life and legacy

Our Heart

We believe that healing is not linear and that creativity can transform even the deepest sorrow.

Bliss Chains stands as a reminder that we are divinely loved, eternally held and infinitely capable of creating beauty from our pain.

Our Vision

As we grow, we continue to weave art, story, and service into a living movement of remembrance—connecting communities through compassion, creativity, and grace.

Because even after loss, life still holds light.
