I walked in a room with roses on the floor, sage burning and candles. I immediately knew that I couldn’t half-ass this workshop. Shay [Au Lait] went out of her way to create an experience for me to fully be self-expressed – so I went in!

Cycle of gratitude to Shay Au Lait for guiding me back into my body. for allowing me to be too much in a world that often forces me to be small.
