Oh god. A moment of clarity.
Thank fuck for that. I was starting to lose my bloody marbles.
Just when I think I’m about to lose my shit and go back to ‘doing what was working fine’ and was ‘silly’ to throw away I get thrown another piece of the puzzle. This one lands with a satisfying thud.
I had to burn my identity down so I could gather alllllll the pieces of what led to now.
I couldn’t make sense of it in advance. It needed to unfold organically. Each seed of doubt holding me up, ensuring I wasn’t rushing into something out of panic. I needed to trust. I needed to wait.
And now, when you read it below, it will probably sound plain bloody obvious. (This life continues to crack me up.)
But I had to take the long road to get here so I could get all the material to fuel what is ahead. Sometimes I get shown the big picture first and then I get absolutely paralysed with the details of making it happen. Not this time. I am being drip-fed instructions so I can’t get overwhelmed.
And now I get it. Like, reallllllllllly get it.
LIFE… It gets to be easy. It gets to be joyful. It gets to be sexy.
It’s just too damn easy to forget it. Why do we keep forgetting it?!
When I started my photography business over 10 years ago the world was more sexually repressed than it is now. I charged top dollar and took privacy very seriously. I hardly shared any of my work. Women were paying for my style but also privacy and discretion.
Now I want to do the opposite. I want to create and SHARE. No more hiding. No more hiding our sensuality, our PLEASURE. I want to SHARE the alchemical art that turns shame to love; stagnation to joyful expression. The energy you can feel. The beauty of the feminine so exquisite it must be witnessed by the internet. So here’s how its going to go…
GROUP SHOOT SESSIONS
START WITH WOMENS CIRCLE
DANCE AND MOVEMENT
PHOTO SHOOT
CLOSING CIRCLE
Its a celebration of the feminine. Time to remember you are not A goddess. You are THE GODDESS. We are all.
So let’s celebrate.
Welcome to the Church of Self Love.
(Honestly, it has taken me so long to work out how Church of Self Love is going to go and what it actually is. I had SO many ideas that I paralysed myself with it. But today I finally realised it will be different on whichever day I start it. It moves and morphs. I just need to start. And it will be what it will be. So I choose today. Here we are. Welcome to Church. I’m excited! It’s going to be magic.)
