«The ropes subtly slid through my body and little by little I witnessed the sensations that I longed to find and fully enjoyed the freedom that invited me to focus on my self-discovery and that of my sexuality…»

More than twenty women who have participated in our sessions talk about their bodies.
The relationship I have had with my body has been like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs, where with a lot of effort and self-love I have managed to improve it…
I accept my body as a challenge, it is not easy or impossible. I accept the challenge of loving myself more every day…
If I have to take care of him, train and question my way of living, for my well-being, I will do it! My biggest challenge will be to love it and care for it like the sanctuary that it is…
«I was in a different, curious and new place. I never thought to see myself here, so docile, so fragile: inevitably sensual; It is intriguing how my body secretly responds with all the power of my being wrapped in knots, colors and perfume…»

The photo shoot was a very special and sensitive moment. She talks about a very complex process of a lot of pain and of finding herself, discovering herself and loving herself as she is.
It was a difficult decision to take the photos and take out that artistic side that has always been present, I thought that her body was not up to the established standards…

«Sometimes I find myself in a mess, what is this to know each other? Could it be that if one reaches a state of peace with everything that represents being? it could be? Could it be that the day will come when he fully knows me? with fears, scars, desires, dreams, follies to fulfill…»

«When the road fades and the past does not heal, when my presence seems invisible, when my feet touch the ground and reality clouds my vision, hurting my being… I take refuge in art to believe again, reconnect and enter into harmony with myself .
I take refuge in art because in it I find the possibility of being reborn.»

Doing the session was like unlocking an artistic part that lives in me and that for years I have ignored, that for various reasons I ended up convincing myself that I was not capable of doing something beautiful, that because it is not within the expected stereotype then it is not right and It is not valid…

«It is time to separate myself from the fear of being seen, from the gazes of others that unfairly harass this naked body, this body that breathes, beats, contorts, that exists. It’s time to inhale… exhale. Break with the false prosecution of others that does not allow me to be, that separates me from the most unique containment. I return to the home that I will temporarily inhabit. I accept it convulsed, agitated, desperate, indomitable. I accept it charismatic, sensitive, wild, free…»

«I am a free woman, a renewed woman.
She is passionate about the art that is transmitted between strings.
I am a woman who likes to enjoy her own sensuality.
And she is not afraid to show what lives in her.
Every time I sink into the world of shibari my desires are conceived.
I am in love with that space of intimacy and fulfilled wishes…»

«Now I am a woman who has tremendous confidence in herself and in part I owe it to nudism. Nudism makes you open, sensitive, understanding; it represents acceptance, honesty, that perspective that makes harmony in your physical part, your part mental, your spiritual part and you stop feeling surrounded by so much paradigm, so much morbidity…»
