They make me feel alive
During a wonderful hike, surrounded by this beautiful nature, came these photos that make me feel alive and connected with my surroundings and with company that understands this beauty of the body, its nakedness, something so genuine to human beings and yet so hidden.

Living this experience fills me with strength and freedom; it lets me leave a little further behind the times my body has been violated and gives me the chance to see my body as so much more than that: an empowered body, ready to live and enjoy life and not lock itself into what society expects.
It was a comfortable, fun and very respectful space. I’m grateful to Pralad and Silvia for creating that space of trust.

I had written as the conclusion to a previous session: “In my case, I have no problem showing my body. I accept it as it is.”
And it’s quite true… except when it bears the marks of pain that overflows. Then I don’t want anyone to see me.
I’m grateful for Pralad’s gaze, which without judging that, invited us to connect body and nature, and for Gabi, whom I met by chance/destiny. Although it was the first time we’d seen each other, it was as if we’d known each other forever. Everything was very comfortable and harmonious.
We walked, we listened to the water, we got into the river. And I felt embraced, in my skin and in my soul.
