An Artistic Journey with the beloved Cristina - An Adventure to the Waterfalls in the mountains of Spain

I had the joy and pleasure of co-creating with the incredible woman, Cristina. She is powerful, she is nurturing, she is deeply caring and moving. I got to see her go from performance to softening to allowing and opening up. And I was honored to capture her, encourage her into more of her essence, pushing her into more of her childlike self as well seeing her soften. We got to dance, we got to experience peace, we got to experience uncomfortableness and move through it as well exploring how we were feeling in the moment which created a sense of softness to open up even more to what is alive. And her precious older sister was there the whole time capturing these moments together. We then spent the afternoon basking in the sun, swimming in the waters and being reminded of how sacred this life is to remember to enjoy, feel alive and honor one another’s journeys.

“Doing this experience, I have been so connected again with my sensibility, my kindness inside of me and the calm that I have inside of me as a woman that I am connected to the earth. It helped me to show that to the camera and also there was a moment that we were on the river and I was feeling kind of “I’m not sure if I’m doing it right” and you guided me with your words and helped me to understand that there was nothing right. I needed time to breathe and feel the water and so you guided me so well. I felt so connected to to nature, the river. Then when you encouraged me to go to the waterfall, I loved that moment because I thought that I was not capable to do that. You encouraged me to do that. And it helped me so much because you were saying to me, “Just feel the water, Cristina” So thank you so much. I’m feeling more grounded. Touching the trees, the leaves, playing with the rocks, it helped me so much to go with the flow, more myself. “ - Cristina
