There’s something powerful that happens when you enter into the energetic forcefield surrounding The Holly Farm — the mind starts to quiet, the heart starts to expand, breath starts to come easier, and your body recalls what peace feels like. This was our third time being invited back into this space, and it’s as if the Earth herself remembers us. It’s as if she whispers, “Welcome home, I’ve been waiting for you. Come, let me hold you awhile.”

This group of women embraced duality in a way that blew me out of the water. They embodied the spirit of “Both/And”  in their photo shoots, inspired by light + dark, masculine + feminine, delicate + wild. And I watched Persephone Unleashed become the safe space of my wildest dreams — somewhere women of all ages, sizes & colors can step into different versions of themselves just to see what it feels like, if it fits or if it doesn’t. A fitting room of the Selves, if you will. Where every version, every messy and beautiful piece of you is seen, accepted, held, and loved no matter what.

But don’t take my word for it. See for yourself…..
