forage photography
The seasons are shifting once again, Fall is here, Fall with her winds, her rains, her darkening skies and blazing sunsets.
She carries with her always memories of Summer, memories of Winter, of Spring. For me she is the painter, the story-teller, the weaver, the song-catcher! She teaches us the cycles, the Life~Death~Life cycles with the fiery blazing of yellow, orange, red leaves, their boldest right before their fall, with the flying, spinning, rolling, and rotting of seeds, that need to fall and crack open in order to germinate.
Fall beckons to us, doesn’t she? Look at me, come hither, my bold brightness, my tussled locks flying, my stormy and bright moods racing across the evening sky. Come pick my fruit, do not be afraid if my bark is ancient and gnarled. Fear not the imperfect apple, uneven, speckled with brown spots, her tart sweetness will spark you awake!
Harvest, gathering, gratitude
So lovely to have this sole, quiet woman, resting alone offer me apples on my wander. Would I have stopped to taste if she hadn’t been there, if she hadn’t said anything in her very quiet way?
Use what you’ve got, stumble upon meaning, chance encounters are often our best teachers. The bees and wasps are very slow now, gathering their last morsels of sweetness, whiles spiders begin t weave.
What magic is here?

wild woman of the lake
There are many reasons why a woman might want to walk the wilds within and discard layers of convention, expectations, self-concept, injury.
For some this process of entering a wilder state, and allowing nature’s embrace to hold her ~
the buoyant support or cleansing of the waters,
the ageless solid presence of rock,
the twisted sinews of root,
the secret cover of ferns, leaves seaweed, clay,
the rooting and falling of trees
For some this is a way to re write a story about her body and rekindle a spark of self-love. For another, it may be a way to honour and embrace a transition, loss, realization. For yet another there may be some healing shifts around injuries embedded deep in our bodies. And for others there may be a wilding ritual of female empowerment, a howl of rebirth, calling fourth a deep intuitive sense of belonging and purpose.
For all there is a journey towards and an encounter with a sometimes deeply buried wild self. The results may be called a photographic relic, a trail of symbol to remind us, and call fourth that process of of inner tracking and how The Wild shows us the way, and offers many gifts, many songs and stories…..

a wild woman project ~ wild spa
“I feel like I washed away a lot of shame in that river.”
Beautiful wild women! It takes courage to walk into the river bare of all conventions, wild spa clay and forest greens help to honour our wild nature!

Down to the River to Play
Beautiful Wild Woman Elizabeth at the Wild Spa at Firemaker this year! I have so much respect for you, Goddess, your vulnerability, strength, resilience and how you uphold your values and raise your son!!!!!
For most of us, it’s wonderful to decorate ourselves with mud, ferns, leaves, to walk, wildly decorated towards our own nakedness. For few of us, is it easy to stand naked and strong in the centre of the river. Elizabeth you are an inspiration.

wild woman project ~ Exploring exposed roots…..
I am grateful for the bravery of this gorgeous woman, Charlotte. This is a sneak peek from our third wild woman project session together. This time, Charlotte entered the river with a lot ore confidence, self-knowledge and self-acceptance.
