I know I haven’t been posting on here so much lately and I’m just going to come out and tell you why. The truth is that I’ve been struggling with the irksomeness of selling. I’m personally tired of being constantly sold to. It feels gross, the world feels too heavy, and it all feels unimportant compared to what’s going on in the world.
But I realised (or rather, remembered) something. Joy, celebration and ritual matters. Ceremony and coming together in community matters. More than ever. And we’re human so as long as we are alive, we’ll never stop marking moments and transitions by gathering together and breaking bread.
We actually do something that is needed and we do it really damn well. We do it in a way that is as sustainable and ethical as possible. And while we do it, we imagine what these events and what these gatherings might look like in a post capitalist world. In a liberated world. The world isn’t perfect but we’re doing our best to improve it where we can and it serves no one if we just stop showing up and if our amazing aligned clients stop finding us.
So. I’m sorry I haven’t been showing up here to tell you about what we do as much as I “should”. But more than that, I’m sorry for not telling you all how grateful I am that we even get the opportunity to share in special moments of joy with so many amazing people and their friends and families. Thank you. 🙏 And so, I’m going to pretend this is therapy 😅 and share some recent clients and events as gratitudes every day for the next week. Putting that here for accountability! 😂 Then I’ll see how I feel about sharing after a week.
Here’s the first one - Grace and Glen. I am so grateful for you! I couldn’t have asked for more aligned, more incredible clients. (And let’s be honest, aren’t they just the hottest couple ever?) Thank you for sharing your memories with us. Knowing how important it was to you to celebrate your shared values with your loved ones gave everything that extra layer of purpose. What a joy and a pleasure it was to help you. I hope your married life is bliss!
