Welcome to Sacred Spaces

"May my soul bloom in love for all existence." 

-Rudolf Steiner-

What to expect during a Sacred Spaces Photo Session? 

This session will be held in a space of your choosing -- a space that feels comfortable to you. Prior to the photo session, together, we will smudge and flow into a guided meditation. After connecting with both the soul-self and the earth, we will write about any thoughts/visions (if any) that were drawn to the surface of our consciousness during the meditation. Next, we will use these written thoughts to proceed forward into our creative collaboration.   

Creating through anthroposophy 

Anthroposophy is a philosophy created by Rudolf Steiner that uses a formal educational, therapeutic, and creative system seeking to use mainly natural means to optimize physical and mental health and well-being. Through this concept, one has the potential of experiencing a great deal of positive transformation by bridging the body, mind, and soul via creative processes.

The objective of this work

By nurturing the soul-self through the mediation of this creative process, I wish for my clients to see the radiant beauty in the human self and the infinite connection to all around him/her.

What to bring

• Wear clothes that are comfortable for meditation. Not everyone wants to create in the nude, but if you would like to, you are free to -- read my personal experience below -- this is a space where we create together.

• Bring any other pillows, props, mats, blankets, crystals, etc. that make you feel comfortable during our meditation time and also align with the expression of you for the photo session.  

• Our agreement that will be emailed to you, filled out and signed.

• Love in your heart and a notebook/pen if you wish

My inspiration

In July of 2017 a good friend from college drove to visit me in the Teton Valley. Ever since I moved into my sacred little grass filled meadow, I had a longing to be photographed nude in the wildflowers that were surrounding my house. If there was anybody to bring this up to, it was Mariah! Ironically, she had the same thoughts on her mind. The photo, above, was taken that day. We have both struggled, as many humans do, with body image suffocation of whatever is societal perfection. It was time to express what we had grown to fall deeply in love with -- our beautiful, liberated human selves in conjunction with our unique spirits. As you can see, not all of the images were fully nude and many of them were focused on the nature surrounding us. No rules, just magic. This experience left me feeling fulfilled to the point that I felt called to create a similar experience for many more. At the beginning of 2018, when I serendipitously stumbled upon Steiner's word "Anthroposophy," I said "That's it!" That is exactly what this is all about. How nurturing, how expressive, how powerful, and how full of joyous love!
