Healing Through Beauty


A season for beauty practices and rituals, for romance and remembering. The cultivation and celebration of beauty has been important throughout history and across cultures, especially in the hands and hearts of women. What happens in a world where beauty means conformity? When (so-called) perfection is valued over depth, difference and human-ness? When optimisation and productivity is valued over appreciation, patience and gratitude? 


What does it look like to return to beauty for you? What would it take for you to remember and re-centre beauty? What are your favourite beauty rituals?
