At the Soul Society 2023 Yoga Retreat on the serene Island of Nevis, I embodied the roles of both event photographer and creative guide. I had the privilege of capturing the essence of feminine beauty through artistic female portrait photography. All while immersed in the healing energy of the retreat and lush jungle surroundings. During the retreat I hosted four private sunrise skinny dipping sessions tailored to each woman I photographed. It was a beautiful and transformative experience that was unlike any other for the women. Really allowing them to break the mold of the mundane while they were away.
As a practitioner of yoga at Soul Society, my presence was not just as a photographer but also as a participant deeply connected to the retreat’s ethos. Invited by the owner, Julia, I engaged fully into the practices of yoga, breath work, and meditation, fostering a profound sense of connection with the natural world and fellow retreat attendees. I also loved being able to integrate artistic female portrait photography as an additional avenue for self-celebration during the retreat.
Hosting four private sunrise skinny dipping sessions at the retreat property was a highlight of the Soul Society experience. These artistic female portrait photography sessions offered guests a unique opportunity to shed societal norms and inhibitions. As well as embracing their authenticity and celebrating their bodies in all their beauty. It was a moment of liberation and empowerment, sparking a renewed sense of self-confidence and self-love.
Contemplating the profound moments of the Soul Society 2023 Yoga Retreat fills me with anticipation for the exquisite journey that lies ahead. Stay tuned for upcoming retreats, including our 2024 creative awakening retreat at the ChoZen resort in Florida. This retreat will offer more 1:1 photography learning, yoga, creative walks, and opportunities for self-discovery and connection within our community.
