Life {as an artform} London 2012

May 5, 2012 · 11 Comments

Before I leave for today’s wedding, I just want to hold last week in my mind one last time. This was the third Life {As an Artform} workshop I attended, and the second time I helped to host it in London. Every year it becomes clearer to me how each workshop is really moulded by the people who attend it, the thoughts and energies of those present really and truly create the experience. And with each year I feel more aware and understand a little bit more about myself, and about how everything we experience in the world has to start from how we look at it.

There were so many laughs, so many new amazing friends, planting of many small seeds, seeing old friends in a new light, many tears of happiness and of release, and lots of revelations both tiny and big.

Thank you so much to beautiful Penny of Tigerlily weddings for once again opening her home and heart to us crazy dreamers, you are so special and I hope you know this. Thank you to my dear friends Emma and Pete, for being our brave couple to demonstrate and practise Beloved techniques on. Love you guys so very much. Thank you to the gorgeous Senab Adekunie for moving us with your music and words. What an incredible experience.

And lastly, thank you Jesh de Rox – for being you. For changing the world tiny little piece by tiny little piece with your incredibly clear vision, your hunger for honest beauty, and your selfless giving. For being a friend I never realised I was searching for, but couldn’t now imagine living without. Thank you. x

    Dear M – “how everything we experience in the world has to start from how we look at it.” – this is such a truth and such a big something i took away from the last week.

    There is poetry in the way you live your life, I can now clearly see why it comes through so clearly in the words you write and the pictures you take. Thank you for being part of the reason I got to experience these amazing three days, and I genuinely hope I get to spend some time with you again soon xx

      It’s the Fuji x100, I believe.

    I had no idea, really no idea, how profound 3 days could be. Your words and stories so vivid, so visual, so full of life – just like your images – I’m so glad I finally met you.

    I do hope I get to be a part of this one day. Every time I read your words about this workshop, I realise it is something that would change my perspective.
