CEREMONIAL PHOTOSHOOT

AN EMBODIED EXPRESSION ~ ALCHEMICAL ART JOURNEY

GROUP RITUAL

Led and Photographed by Chantal

A simple walking stick might easily be such a gift. What is plainer that a straight branch cut from a coppiced tree, its rough bark slightly smoothed and one end just rounded off to fit the hand? Yet the gift of it may convey acknowledgement, solidarity, even a remembrance of belonging to an entire hidden tribe.
Human longing for tribal roots is strong; a woman’s realisation that she has common bonds across a vast, ancient web of womankind is powerful.
— Weavers' Oracle Journey Cards by Carolyn Hillyer

WE DIVE DEEP INTO EMBODIMENT, RITUAL AND ART

  • This is bringing our OWN SELVES { OUR BODIES } TO THE ALTAR

  • Creating Visual Art with our bodies, in full permission, being in it ~ then to move it towards the edge of an alchemical change/an intention. What does your BODY want to say?

  • Adorn ourselves, TOGETHER ~ fill of bag of your finest drip and bring it ~ what makes you feel most alive!!! Then shed it all. Women will get ready and celebrate themselves together before the photoshoot…this enhances and strengthens the creative field further

  • Connection to the land and the Women who have walked, lived it before us

  • We will circle around Fire energy

  • Attuned to the drum and entranced by song ~ Women’s voices weaved together to open up our channels, our throats must be open

  • Explore the Remembrance, Roots and Webs of Women, in the Wild marrow of our Bones

  • Inspired and supported by the elements all around us

  • Slow movement to bring it down all levels, then lower into your own embodiment ~ the only place Truth lives in you

  • Allowing our bodies to speak our poetry

  • Surrendering to the Portal of Creation

  • Women gathered together in ART and love ~ witnessing each other, celebrating each other, holding each other ~ this is nothing new. We will remember what this feels like.

  • Embodied Woman Photoshoot Experience ~ 5 Hour Creative dive

Then, around her ankles she would lace heavy goat-toe rattles that made frantic clatter when she stamped. She would grab the drum and step out of the turmoil. She pounded her feet and beat the dark drum vigorously until there was madness tangled into her hair and a reckless wind caught beneath her arms. Raw power vibrated inside the symbols on her legs and her relentless feet drove it into the ground.
— Carolyn Hillyer

This Group Photoshoot Experience is for you if;

-You are the one who walks barefoot, the first to get naked, howl at the moon and dive into the sea…or aspire to be her

~You have a desire to create Art that is healing for you, your lineage and every Woman who will see it

~You are deep seated pelvic bowl YES!!!!

~You are a YES in your heart

-You have been wanting to experience my photography but are not ready/or unable to commit to a 1:1 shoot

-You are an Embodied Woman, a Wild Woman, a Free Woman

-You are Yes, but also scared, yet your bones are pulling you into this experience

-You can hold and trust yourself

~You are a free and wild Woman

~You have a deep desire to express yourself fully and be seen

-You love being in deep creative spaces with other Women

-You’re on the path of embodiment, and know in your body that this experience is the next stepping stone for you

~You can surrender to the experience of creation

This Group Photoshoot Experience is *not* for you if;

-The sharing of the images to reverberate out into the world, is beyond your current capacity at this time

~You are not at a point in your journey where you cannot unfurl in front of other Women, and a camera. And if you are very very shy in front of a camera (by shy, I do not mean awkward. We’re all awkward!!! at first…) and cannot open at all to your wild embodiment in a photoshoot setting

-None of what is written here resonates with you, deeply

-You have many many questions…like a whole bunch of “but how, wait, what?” questions. I have nothing against questions lol, but I do not want your decision to sign up for this experience, to come from the permission of your mind. Your mind has all the urgent questions. Your body knows, and trusts the unknown. I want you to come to this ritual with your Body!!!

remember

Bring a journal, a pen and a cup. Bring your furs, your feathers, your glitter, your blood and your scream…bring all of yourself.

Come wild.

Come free.

Come with an open and tender heart, a drum if you have one.

Come with a willingness to feel all of what you are made of. 

I’M IN!!!

DATE + LOCATION + INVESTMENT

Near Kensington PEI (location will be given upon registration)

$333

***SPACE LIMITED ~ I need a minimum of 5 Women in the circle to run this offering

CANCELLATION POLICY

Bookings are non-refundable, unless the event is cancelled or postponed (in this case you can request a refund or transfer to the next date). 

Your space is non-refundable, but you can transfer your spot to a woman.

***Please note that by booking your spot in this Photoshoot Experience, you are agreeing for some of these images to be used with utmost respect, on my social/website, within guidelines regarding censorship. The photos will be partially/fully nude (your personal choice) in a group.

***The copyright of the images belongs to me, and the images of you where you are by yourself are for your personal use/social media only. The group images are not to be used for business purposes, unless I give my permission and blessing to do so.

***This wild woman ceremonial shoot is different than my 1:1 sessions, in terms of the model release/copyright. This circle is deeply healing, and life changing for some. This experience is like no other woman’s circle.

Art is meant to be shared. It’s important and meaningful for this potent visual art, of a gathering of wild and free Women, to exist in the world. This art and possibility for Women, is meant to be seen and felt. So the Women who participate must share that same desire, integrity and sentiment. Being fully nude, or partial is a personal preference that I fully respect and celebrate equally during this profound embodied art experience.

Her dance growled along the border between liberating chaos and a fearsome wilderness of the soul.
