Meet Me in Paris

Awaken Your Inner Goddess in Greece.
17-23 MAY or 20-26 SEPTEMBER 2012

Because
you are as passionate about your own empowerment as you are about
exploring inner and outer worlds, we invite you to Greece, to the source
of the goddess, for an intimate, exclusive women’s retreat and workshop
right in the heart of Athens.

When did you last celebrate being
a woman? Do you remember a time when your personal passion and
innermost sacred desires had top priority on your long to-do list? How
long ago since you gifted yourself a true pause to nurture your soul and
sensuality?

Ladies, it is time to have a fling with your inner goddess.

In this retreat we Celebrate being Woman, in all ways, not only by
blasting your senses wide open and stepping into the mythology of the
great Greek Goddesses, but also by deepening your relationship to
yourself as goddess.

Can you see yourself nestling into the
sacred space with a group of smart, fabulous women who have come
together for the exploration, sharing and celebration of their inner
goddesses?

Then, join us, for a journey of discovery, of your sensuality and inner lover. You
will deepen your relationship to yourself and your own sensuality, you
will find empowerment amongst the Greek goddesses and get up close with
your own inner goddess, and… you will leave with a collection of
personal goddess photographs* to prove it was not all just a wonderful
dream.

Why Hesitate ?
We are your hosts: two gypsy spirits with European
backgrounds, we have come together to share with you our love of sensuality,
beauty, travel, transformation and creative exploration.

Lone: I'm a passionate, wandering artist whose medium is intimate liberation – of you & the world around you.

Alkistis: I'm passionate about assisting women to see the goddess within & using this power to make the world abetter place.

Imagine
8 women, two goddess hosts, a beautiful boudoir temple in Athens,
ancient temple visits, skinny dip in the blue sea, amble meditations and
body movement, lush spa treatments, delectable Greek cuisine, sacred
sharing and embodiment of your own inner goddess to be captured by the
renowned artist-photographer behind Lolo’s Boudoir, Lone Mørch*.

Imagine yourself dressed in silky kaftans, reclining
decadently on couches in a most gorgeous Goddess abode in Athens.
Sensuous music wraps around you waist, and your gaze softens in the
gentle glow of candlelights. You take a sip of wine. You indulge in
another fresh fig, perhaps a few savory olives, followed by the tangy
juices of pomegranates swirling around your tongue. You take your time
to really savor the moment, letting your senses open to the fullness of
the experiences.

This particular night, we gather for a "symposium" just
like the ancient priestesses of love & wisdom did in the goddess
temples. Our discussion flows easily from womanhood, sensuality,
creativity, love, ecstasy, joy, and initiation. There will be hugs,
tears of joy, dancing. Your breath deepens. You relax into your core.
You have come home.

WELCOME TO YOUR HOME IN GREECE, FEEL RELAXED, BE YOURSELF, SHARE YOUR LOVE WITH YOUR SOUL-SISTERS.

Photography with me is about transformation. It’s about freeing
yourself from stuck self-stories, redefine beauty on your own terms, and
get comfortable in your own erotic skin. It's not about posing sexy in
front of the camera, though you may surprise yourself with your sensual
way of being once the inhibitions have been gently peeled away. It's not
about airbrushing away your flaws or making you look like an underwear
model or fairy princess, but about letting your raw beauty break
through.
