PHOTO DROP NUMBER TWO
(Go have a sus of the first lot, ohhhh, myyyy, gpooodness 4Eyes Media knows how to capture a moment in time and keep the life in it!!

This event — felt like a ‘oh I have gifts and I’m good at what I do!’ Like I got it on a new level in a new way! I just felt so free and me and…me.

I stopped trying to be professional and decided to be myself. To hug exactly as much as I’d hug if I wasn’t trying to be socially acceptable and to be a playful and joy-filled to overflowing as I feel inside — and again, have tried to curb cause it’s felt like — others have told me to calm down or the time and place wasn’t right…!?

Also — I’ve been throwing parties with different themes, among the many other events I’ve created over the years — always asking, always inviting — all with the intention of connection, play — dance, movement…self expression.

Honestly I still don’t rightly know exactly what container I want to create — I have so many things that are my fav things and there are so many ways to intentionally create connection! To play. To weave

Point being — I had the best time. I loved seeing everyone get freakin fancy and connected and go deep with me. No one wanted to leave and I think that’s the sign of an event that means people felt something!

Massive shoutout to Ragù & Co for hosting us! The food, the space, the many many emails over many months!
Even before we threw the how they were talking about next time!! So we’re already talking about when and how!

Missed out last time, came and wanna come again! Let me know.

Tis not a secret that I’m not great at the selling of tickets part of events. But in order for these things to be sustainable — tickets must be sold. People must be paid for their time and energy, gifts and talents. The food, the decor, the photographer, the crew— y’all are amazing and without these elements — well it wouldn’t have been Fancy Pants!

So much love!

PHOTO DROP NUMBER ONE
(which means there’s more to come!!)

Oh my goodness — look at these photos!
4Eyes Media — I am in awe at the moments you captured. The connection, the play, the decadence of the the night and how beautiful everyone was.

Personally I feel so seen. You see people, you feel things that aren’t explicit and somehow find a way to bring them into a still photo that captures a moment in time where people feel those things. I know I feel the magic of that night in these photos.

Thankyou for bringing your whole self and trusting the vision and not only trusting it but imprint it in our memories. Thank you for witnessing. For holding in your own way!

The rest of you fancy panted humans, y’all are all s e e e x x y y y as f**k and I’m so grateful for each one of you. For the way you lent in, for the moments shared. For your classiness and your depth and that they exist tougher. That you are full humans who brought yourselves to the table!

Until next time!!
All the fancy!

It was utter MADNESS!

Seemingly NOTHING WENT TO PLAN!
AND IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER!!

I have so many things to say. Allow me to ramble, somewhat unedited!

A lot of THANKYOU!
And a lot of I LOVE YA’LL!

It was so beyond anything I could have imagined had it gone ‘to plan’ — I would have been grasping at control and way more stressed.

I LEARNED SO MUCH!
And I watched a ‘connection event’ become truly all about connection and weaving everyone’s energy into the creation of it. Which turned out to be way more magical, albeit complete chaos and just added to the MADNESS of it all.

I HAVE SO MUCH GRATITUDE, for everyone.
For the little moments and the big moments and the way people continue to trust not only me but themselves…YOURSELVES!

To everyone who came, who embraced the BUILD YOUR OWN WONDERLAND as part of the adventure. I kept saying as we were planning and in crew group chat — ‘for the people, by the people’ — and gawd, it couldn’t have been more that!

To my CREW — Angel Kelly, Kimbillie Seymour, Meg Pearce, and Tom— who again, HARE BRAIN IDEAS…I have them in abundance. AND it’s the crew, the people around me who just keep asking ‘what do you need’ ‘how can we help’ LETS DO THIS, WE GOT THIS!
and her team of kitchen witches and wizards , Rubin Waterhouse-Dean and last minute rope in Jessica Kaitlin , literal sorcery was performed in that kitchen. THAT WHITE RABBIT panda cotta.

I’ve really learned the importance of delegating and truly letting go. Trusting implicitly that if I give someone something, they’re gonna make it their own. And bring it to life. And it will be different to what I had in mind but it will be perfect.

I kept finding myself in conversations where people shared with me the impact of me inviting them to do whatever it was — be mad, get dressed up, talk about something deeper than surface level things, eye gaze, pose for photos, consider what connection feels like, and where in the body they feel it…

I am humbled, but also realising that — these things come easy to me. Like they’re part of what I NEED, and CRAVE. And so here we are, sitting around tables that are covered in the most random assortment of tea cups and clocks that don’t tick and candle holders that don’t have candles in them…dressed in clothes that are mad and getting deep and playful.

You know, one person said to me, ‘I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.’ If that’s not reason to celebrate this…I don’t know what is!!

I was running like, an hour late…and I live over an hour away…so on the drive there I was listening to the voices in my head, the ones that used to tear me to pieces and tell me I am a failure, blah, blah — for being late, for not being better organised...etc — those voices were still there but new voices that were able to stay open to joy and connection — and to celebrate what did happen... they're getting louder. And that's left me feeling full. And glad and incredibly grateful.

A few things have dropped in for me. Gentle yet profound.

I used to ‘punish’ myself for being late. Like I deserved connection less, so I wouldn’t open myself up. I’d shut down, id feel angry or stressed and take that out on the people around me. I’d push people away.
Saturday on my drive I realised I didn’t have to do that. I could focus on the connection I wanted, the relational aspect. THE REASON for this event. And so when I arrived I made sure to greet people and find the joy within myself and invite everyone else into it. BECAUSE TRULY I HAVE SO MUCH FUN doing set up and pack down! Creating and dismantling. And oh my goodness. I just — don’t have words, just tears of awe, that it wasn’t about me in the end but something, someone, everyone! Much bigger than me!

I could go on and on about the moments. The little things that happened inside of me, personally AND around me as I watched other people interact. The things that brought tears to my eyes to witness. The knowing that for some people — being there was sitting on the edge of their comfort zone and they were meeting themselves over and over to stay.

I ‘create’ events…spaces…for other people. BUT I AM so deeply changed every time!

THANKYOU! Thankyou! THANKYOU

I am exhausted but I feel so incredibly full.

Until next time…

Pondering thoughts on the eve of Mad Hatters…my heart and soul and WHY!!

I’m so freaking excited about creating a Wonderland and inviting people in. I want it to feel welcoming.

And connection.
F**k me, honestly — everything I do is for connection. Is to create this thing that when I feel it inside my body— everything else makes sense.
Connection— to myself. To others. To the world and to the earth. It lights something in me that’s beyond words.

When I feel connected — I feel alive. I feel like I have permission to be playful. To be — how I feel on the inside. I feel like I matter. Like my inside world matters.

Maybe all of this is one big selfish bid to get my own connection needs met. But in doing so…I keep creating something that I know others feel as well.
Maybe not everyone…but if one person feels seen and known and connected in ways they weren’t before…that matters to me.

And then there’s the creation of a world, of a concept. Of pulling a team together and inviting them to lend their gifts and seeing how people pour their hearts into their talents and gifts!

I love this process.
Do I feel stressed and freakin stretched for time! Hell yeah!
Have I questioned my sanity, wished I’d started prepping allllll the things sooner, felt rushed…and been distracted by things that have nothing to do with Mad Hatters prep cause they feel easier than staying on task…again— also hell yeah!

But I’m so excited to create this world with the crew and share it with people. To get freakin dressed up. And to invite people to connect, in ways that matter to me and hopefully matter to them and leave them feeling seen and known.

That is my heart
My soul
The thing that over and over brings me back to one more idea. To inviting people to something else I’ve created. To another event I’m putting in when the last one didn’t really make any money.
Terrible business plan. But connection and love plan…yeah!

I’ve been thinking a lot today…had a conversation or two even about ‘why I’m doing this!?’
Why do I do what I do!?

I don’t make money doing it.
I question my worth on repeat. My ability. The point.
I wonder where the disconnect between people loving the idea of an event and saying over and over that they wanna come to one of my events — and not.l quite making it.

Last weekend I was at a point where I was ready to cancel Mad Hatters.
I don’t know how to sell tickets. Not enough to cover my costs. It’s very rare that I do, in fact — usually I am spending my hard earned pennies on the events/spaces I create in order to run them. I want them to be accessible.

I could throw these things for free with friends, I do. In other ways. Sewing days and ya know, just normal people hanging about doing normal things (I write that and laugh, I’m about as far from normal as ya get and not ‘good at hanging out’ like I perceive others are/do!)
In the end — they cost to put on…

This whole undercharging — or charging for the value it is, or charging for my value. For my time and energy… is a bit messy in my body and feels incredibly uncomfortable. Tho I gotten better at it over the years. Not charging enough has often left me feeling beyond drained and resentful. Swearing I’ll never do it again…

Wednesday I was really sitting with this — cancelling.
Do I cancel!?
Do I NEED to cancel!?
Do I need to value myself and my time more!?
I don’t know…

But you know what I realised. I do this for me.
I have fun doing this. These hare brain ideas that I drag a crew of people into…that we’ve been working on for months…

Mad Hatters has been floating around in my brain as a concept since 2022. If I cancelled I’d be sad.

To the people who SEE ME, and see my heart…thankyou. All of these ridiculous hair brain ideas — that unless you SEE ME and support me in the ways you do — subtle. Massive. Unique to the way you check in with me. Remind me that you trust me. That you hug me and refuse to leave me alone in my ventures! That you’ll help with whatever I’ve got going on— you matter more than I can ever tell you.
To the people who buy tickets! And show up. And offer your own hearts and souls and depths and honest human selves— I thank you!!

Cause like I said, I question my worth. Like somehow creating or not creating something like this, and making money doing so… has any baring on my worth in the world…you remind me it’s not about that!

Anyway…they’re my thoughts. And that’s my why.

And I’m SO DAMN EXCITED TO CREATE WONDERLAND AND GET MAD WITH YA’LL TOMORROW!!

It’s all about CONNECTION!

Truly, I wanna say ‘everything’ The Embodied Space creates is about connection.
The connection we have to ourselves and our inner world, the stories we tell ourselves, the way we feel inside our bodies, the way we experience the world, our concept and experience of self.creating space and invitation to slow down, breath and remember, discover, return…dive deeper into our own selves.

It’s also about connection to others; creating space and invitation to be known. To show parts of ourselves that might otherwise remain hidden and unknown. To sit in circle and share where our edges lie, what our desires are, what needs arise…to realise that we are all human.

Two very different events, with the same intention…

TOMORROW — FRIDAY 18th September
Join us for MOVEMENT LAB.
A space to explore the language of the body— how it connects us to ourselves and with each other.
I didn’t take any photos at the MOVEMENT LAB held at Imbulc, but a really profound thing happened when I invited people to listen to their bodies, to find their edges…people sat out and watched others — because they realised they were tired. Because an edge was found! And that makes me so PROUD— and glad that the space created leaves feeling safe enough to check in with themselves and listen. Those who connected through the body got playful and deep! What a joy!

TICKETS: https://events.humanitix.com/movement-lab-september-edition

NEXT SATURDAY — 26th September
We bring you a MAD HATTERS TEA PARTY— a wonderful wonderland of intentionally curated food and drink, table decorations and decor, a DJ and Photo Booth along with INVITATION to connect to your whimsical and creative self and GET THE FREAK DRESSED UP— all woven together with CONNECTION GAMES — intentional table placements and rearrangements. Similar to our FANCY PANTS event, these spaces go deep beyond the surface — and into a space that leaves you feeling known and seen and not wanting to leave.

TICKETS: https://events.humanitix.com/mad-hatters-tea-party-26-sep-26

FB EVENT: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Jz43V6vrE/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Grab a ticket for one or BOTH — on Humanitix and come connect to yourself, your play, your self expression, your joy, and the dance!
