 We are so excited to launch our first range of s e s a s a sin food, a staple in our household with our whole family using it. Even the teenagers are using it of their own free will and finding the benefits. Our skin is our biggest organ and anything we place on it is absorbed. Living in this modern fast-paced way we are bombarded with toxins. We call is skin food because it literally is edible.

 

Our first batch was imbued under the pisces full moon with the life force energy of the sun infused with essential oils some of which are indigenous to this land. We source locally using Australian virgin jojoba oil, macadamia oil, shea butter , cacao butter and a sprinkle of beeswax.

Having moved to the Northern Rivers over 2 years ago birthing our fourth baby here being welcomed into the arms of local bunjalung mob connecting dancing and learning has brought me so much joy and strength. Then I met Syami Hedemark who introduced me to Odissi classical Indian dance and I have taken on the mamoth challenge at 45yrs of age a seasoned dancer in many cultural art forms, to learn this epic dance form. In one fair swoop my ego has been striped away and made me feel like I have 2 left feet and 2 right hands!






Odissi interweaves into your character building, it is intense, nuanced and intricate, unlike any dance form I know. It's movement demands a conscious awareness unto every body part. Churning the correct mood/emotion/rasa within. Expression of your complete feminity within the safety of the artform. Confrontation and courage to be on stage and softening to whatever may be.



I loved all the similarities of preparing to dance to aboriginal dance, getting painted up with ochre, sharing stories skin on skin, stepping into the sacred space.

In Odissi we wear a red bindi on the forehead with little white dots painted around representing the sun moon or flower. Alta a red natural dye, outlining the feet and hands, to beautify making the feet look like lotus flowers, articulating the foot movements for the viewing audience.

With its trademark embellishments of silk saris, silver filigree ornaments and pith flowers, Odissi gives great importance to costume and makeup for our last show Taruni we had Ere Perez as our proud beauty brand for the Nayikas.

Attached are pictures from our last show.

This Sunday we will be performing at the Krishna Village for Ratha Yatra-Festival of Chariots Snday 14th Julyat the bridge at 10:30am.
