Naturally Adventured

I arrive to my friend’s house… Baby sleeping Cat sleeping Washing machine on It’s raining outside

She needed to do some admin & called to see if I could tend to the bub. So I adjusted my plans to be there.

There’s something precious to me about community. Showing up to support one another. Giving when you have some time or resources free. Being integral when you promise you’ll be here for them.

Especially to new mummas. They need it the most. To not feel like they are alone in a sea of breastfeeds, broken sleeps & dirty laundry.

Something you may not know about me is that I spent a lot of time living with my friends when I was 16-21. A friends family even set up a bedroom for me in their house, as my living situation was unstable, felt unsafe or I was kicked out of home again…

I would call them when I needed help. They would pick me up (if I wasn’t driving) and they would tell me what’s for dinner. They never asked what was going on. And so much of me wished I had someone to talk to to make sense of what was happening, but nonetheless they were there to offer me food & shelter.

I played musical house for years. With friends families becoming my own. I owe it to them that I’m still here today.

So friends are like family to me. When someone is in need I offer a bed in my home. I do their food shopping. I do their dishes. I cook for them & their children. I take the kids out for the day. I listen as they share their stories. I’ll send lengthy voice notes & have long phone calls. I gift massages & coregulating cuddles.

This world can feel lonely a lot of the time. A lot of us have been displaced from our blood families, by choice or by circumstance. We live in our seperate homes, drive in our individual cars and spend so much of our time trying to live to survive.

So when someone calls me and says they need me - I feel honoured. That they can trust me in asking. That they feel safe to lean on me. It’s a gift to give, and see the ripple effect that has, to make us feel a little less alone in this world.

How could you make someone/yourself feel a little less alone today?

What do it feel like to be naked outside with a bunch of strangers?

I can tell you from firsthand experience! Last summer, I participated in my first group shoot with @forrestleophotos. I knew what it was to be nude in front of one photographer, but never in a group.

Myself and @salmonberry.boudoir were actually the initial organizers of this shoot. What started as a small group of friends quickly branched out into a larger group full of (mostly) people I didn't know.

When the time came for us to disrobe, I could feel the group hesitance for the first few seconds. But what came after was one of the most freeing experiences.

Letting yourself be bare, be seen, by people you know is one thing. But doing it with strangers is a whole different feeling.

It's liberating. It's bonding. It's just, natural.

@salmonberry.boudoir and I are hosting a nude outdoor group shoot on June 18th and we'd love for you to join us!

If you're scared, that's 100% reasonable. But my advice? Do it scared 🙏 Take the risk and allow yourself the chance to feel this unique kind of freedom.

P.S. Pop your cherry with us then gather your pals and get @forrestleophotos to do another shoot with you. He is lovely and his work is so so good 🙏

We ARE nature. Feel the sun on your skin more often. The mist. The breeze. Feel the ground under your bare feet.

Seriously. Take your clothes off in nature more often and feel the way it recharges and energizes your soul.

We are so programmed that nudity is sexual. But is it? Sometimes, of course. But inherently? Nope.

When you hear those tapes playing in your head that tell you it’s not okay, where do those come from? What voice is the shaming speaking in?

Your body exists for you to feel and experience this beautiful and messy world!

Feel more. Experience more.

More joy. More love. More heartbreak from loving fully and losing it. More anger, more frustration, more sadness, more excitement, more hope, more of absolutely everything that there is to feel by experiencing this messy beautiful world so fully.
