    VIRTUAL NUDE GATHERING

    Saturday, October 9th at 1pm eastern

    This is the last virtual nude gathering of 2021!

    If you’ve wanted to join but haven’t yet, this is your last chance for a while!

    After facilitating 1-3 online events every month for the last year and a half, I am feeling the need to take a break. Don’t worry, I will likely start them back up again in the future and will let you know via my email newsletter when I do!

    I’m excited to hang out nude with y’all one last time before taking a break! ❤


    We gathered from all over the USA + the world!

    Past attendees have included people from across the globe including the USA, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Germany, Netherlands + Australia.


    Feedback from nude gatherers:

    “Nude gatherings have helped me to recontextualize nudity with a happy, healing family. I’d been feeling some trauma around the sexualization of nudityI felt warm, welcomed, and cared for after this light hearted session. Community, finding like minded people, playing games and getting to know one another are what I enjoyed most about this experience.”
    -Jenna C

    “Before the gathering started I was very nervous about coming off as awkward, and also worried about how I would feel or react to a “room” full of naked bodies.
    After it was over I honestly felt lighter, and slightly liberated. I left the room feeling great. It was very inclusive and affirming. I felt heard and connected with the other participants in a safe, non-sexual way… Which was a first for me!
    I think everyone, especially those of us who hold marginalized identities, deserves the opportunity to experience nudity in this context. It can be very healing and beautiful.”
    -AD

    “The somatic part was valuable. I appreciated being able to present my whole body on screen. I’m not an exhibitionist, but I do have body insecurity. Being fully seen and being accepted as I physically am and not judged is validating. Your fears and insecurities are probably based on a misconception of what the event will be like. We aren’t there to gawk at you. We aren’t there for sexual stimulation or arousal.
    -RB

    “Before the gathering I felt anxious, doubtful, scared, overwhelmed. Afterwards I felt grounded, seen, heard, respected, unashamed, hopeful that society is moving in the right direction.”
    -MD

    Nude gatherings are for moving past the societal conditioning that our nude bodies are inherently bad, sexual, or to be consumed by others, and reclaiming them as the magical vessels of life, love, and healing that they are.


    If you think your friends would enjoy attending a virtual nude gathering, invite them to join!

    I’m really looking forward to gathering with you 💗

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi friends! So I have some updates for you and I’m going to try to not make it too long because I have a tendency to make these videos kind of long when I don’t really mean to. So, here we go. 

    I have decided that the virtual nude gatherings… the one that’s coming up on October 9th, which is the next one that is scheduled, will be the last one for this year. I have been facilitating online events, between 1 and 3 every month for more than a year and a half now, and I am starting to feel burnt out on them. So in order to make sure that I am providing a good experience, I don’t want to do something that I feel burnt out on. So I’m doing this one in October and that will be the last one for this year.

    I probably will continue doing these virtual nude gatherings in the future, I just don’t have them on the schedule. I’m not sure when I will start the backup again. I have super enjoyed doing them and I’m really looking forward to hanging out with y’all naked one more time before I take a break, but I very much need a break.

    I am finding myself avoiding being on the computer a lot and like really having no motivation to do computer things, which is telling me that I need a break, so that’s something new. So if you haven’t come to a nude gathering yet, and you really wanted to, you have one more chance, which will be Saturday, October 9th at 1 p.m. Eastern time. So it’s like, North Carolina/New York City time, East Coast time. And that’s gonna be the last one for this year. I don’t know when I’m gonna do them again. It’s been super fun, but I need a break very badly.

    I just got more tattoo done day before yesterday. So I’m in process of healing that. What’s new? And I do want to do a members-only event, maybe in November, when I know I just said that I’m getting burnt out on online events, but this is something that I haven’t done before and I’m kind of curious to see how it will go.

    I mentioned the last Vlog that I did that I was thinking about doing an event online where you like, went through photos with me and helped me pick out favorites. So that sounds fun, and I will like, kind of do two things at once. Y’all get hang out and I get to hang out with you, and I finally get to go through these pictures that I’ve been avoiding because there’s a lot of them, so we get to do it together and I’ll be like, encouragement for me to do it, and also, y’all get like the first look at things that I haven’t shared with anybody yet. So, I’m excited for that. Right now I’m looking at Thursday, November 18th, maybe in the eventing like 6 p.m. Eastern just, you know, because I know a lot of people still work 9-5s during the week. So let me know if that works for you. Hopefully it does. I can’t really find any other days that would work well for my schedule. 

    So I’m excited for that. Let’s do that. I know I just said I’m not doing online events, but I really like I don’t know how else to do these kinds of things and I do still want to have times where we can hang out together. For this one, I think it’s going to be more like a webinar. So what that means is instead of it being like a meeting where we’re all having video and talking on the screen at one time. It’s going to be more like, I will be the one talking and being on the screen and y’all can communicate through the chat.  That’s less overwhelming for me. And I feel like we’ll be able to actually get through more of the photos together if it’s that way, so that’s what I’m considering, so we can still communicate and hang out, it just will not be like face-to-face will be more like… Me with the screen on with all the photos and y’all like type in the chat to et me know how you like them. If that sounds good, let me know if it sounds not good, let me know. I would really love your feedback. I am just trying to do things in a way that is sustainable for me and doing a monthly face-to-face big group things is not sustainable for me right now, on the computer.

    I really would love to start doing things in person again, I’m not sure if I’m ready for that and especially with it starting to get cold. Like, it’s not really that cold yet, but in the coming months its going to start getting colder. In person is not really available because I’d much rather do it outside because of covid. So maybe I can consider something outside in the spring in person.

    I still have a dream of doing like an artist retreat where I get like this big airbnb and we all come together and like hang out in the same space for like a long weekend and create art together and hang out and eat yummy food and have cuddle piles and just like hang out naked and have a lot of fun. So that’s definitely on my goals list for the future. I don’t know when, again… Yeah, I have a lot of things like rolling around in my head and I’m just trying to figure out a way that I can still be present with y’all that is sustainable for me. Because I’m feeling myself getting more and more burnt out by being on the computer and being online and being on social media and doing all things.

    It just makes me want to avoid all of it all together. And I really don’t want to do that because I don’t want to just like abandon y’all because y’all are literally the reason that I’m able to do any of this in the first place, so I want to put y’all as the priority because you are the priority for me. I would much rather do stuff for y’all them like social media. Yeah, that’s where I’m at right now. 

    If yall have anything that you are curious about or have suggestions or feedback or requests for I would love to hear it. Yeah, I don’t want to make this too long. It’s already 7 minutes long. So I think I’m gonna pause for now. Yeah. I love you so much. I’m really trying to shift things in a way that works for me and is still something that y’all would enjoy and I’m kind of at the moment struggling to find what that is because computers are draining. And I just want to be like roaming around in the woods, so finding a happy medium is the hard part, but uh… oh.

    I’m going to show you my new tattoo. It’s well, the colored in part of my tattoo. The video is going to move, just to give you a heads-up, I’m gonna pick my phone up, so I can show you my leg. And so if you’re like, get really dizzy or something by movement of the video, this is your warning. 

    So, you know, I have my whole leg, well, most of my body… we just finished. Oh gosh – can I see? We just finished the hawk. I still have a saniderm on it. We did this, leave these leaves, these leaves and these flowers and leaves are all new and fresh. Now I I have one of my birds is colored in. Yay. I have a hawk. So yeah the saniderm is going to be on for a few more days and then it will be mostly healed and then I get to like wash it twice a day and put a bunch of lotion on it for a while. But yeah, I’ve been icing it so my leg’s kind of cold. Yay. 

    Putting this down on my computer I pressed something and now my computer’s like, what did you do? Okay, so this is long enough. I just want to give you like an update on what’s going on. Yeah. I love you so much. Thank you for being here. Yeah, I’m gonna…

    I’m going to just go ahead and schedule this members only let’s go through photos together. I’ll make a post about it. You don’t have to sign up on Eventbrite. What I’m going to do is *burp* Excuse me. What I’m going to do is, make the zoom link and put it in the blog post so that you have it. And I’ll repost it for like maybe the week before and then like the day before and the day of the event. So you have a heads up. Okay. I love you! Thank you! *MWAH*

  • Personal update: residencies + nerve injuries

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi friends! I don’t know why I didn’t sit very comfortably… actually. I do know why I didn’t sit very comfortably, because things are wet, but I wanted to be outside, so I’ll be sitting weirdly to try to not get too wet. I have some I guess news to share. It’s not really news? I have been working on an application for a residency in Virginia that would be a month in the spring. I want it so muuuuuch! So I’ve been working on it a lot this last week and I’m close to being finished with it. I’m getting some more feedback from people that I value their opinions. So taking that into consideration. I have some more edits to do but I’m really excited and I’m pretty happy with it so far. And I really, really, really, really, really, really hope that I get this residency. It would be perfect. It’s an hour from Shenandoah, so you know I would be spending a lot of time there! Yeah, so I really hope I get it! I’m really excited, working really hard on it, so hopefully that will happen.

    (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE IMAGES IM SUBMITTING)

    Another new thing. I had a routine STI test because you know, safe sex is hot! And the third time in my life I have a nerve injury. Yay… That’s a very sarcastic yay if you couldn’t tell. Wow, there’s a lot of mosquitoes! I’m not gonna be out here for too long. Okay, so I got my blood drawn in the usual place, you know the crook of your arm, and as soon as the needle went in I knew they nicked a nerve because I felt it like electricity down my hand, down my arm and into my hand. So it’s like the section here and then into the bottom of my thumb, is randomly has lightning strikes in it of pain and little random places of tingly and numbness.

    I’m apparently prone to getting nerve injuries. If you were here in 2016, you knew about the wrist drop that I had for three months where I like, couldn’t lift my wrist like this. I couldn’t make a thumbs up and I couldn’t open, I couldn’t expand my fingers all the way. It was on my right hand, which is my dominant hand. I might link to it, if you want to see it. It’s been a really long time, but for three months, I didn’t have use of my right hand. I mean, obviously, I do now, but it was pretty scary. Nerve injuries are not fun.

    (CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO OF ME WITH WRIST DROP MAY 2016)

    But in 2019, the same thing happened with the blood draw. I had a blood draw and it was the same thing and I still have a little numb spot right here, from that in 2019. Luckily I don’t have the pain anymore, that part of the nerve has healed, but I still never regained the feeling in this little spot right here. So hopefully this feels and goes away quickly. It’s not fun, nerve injuries are weird.

    I’m like surrounded by mosquitoes right now! Holy moly. Okay. Try to move to make them not land on me. Please don’t, I don’t want you sucking my blood! Yeah. So those are the main new things happening in my life. I’m going camping next week, I’m really excited! I get to see my friend and then I have a whole lot going on in October.

    Yeah, I still have a whole bunch of self portraits that I took last year I think, or also some this year, but I have a whole bunch of self portraits that I’ve taken more recently that I haven’t had the energy to go through them because there’s so many and it’s kind of overwhelming and I want to, like, pare them down to my favorites, but I’m just overwhelmed by how many there are so I haven’t really looked at them, but I do have them and I need to look through them. It’s just very daunting to me right now at this point. Mosquitoes, goodness! I will have more self portraits for you at some point soon hopefully, I just need to take the time to look through them.

    Actually, you know what might be fun? Maybe we can do a thing where you look through them with me and it’s like a co-working thing, except you just tell me which photos are your favorites. Maybe we will do that at some point. I need to like, find the time schedule that because that might actually be really fun. And y’all might like that. I don’t know, but it will definitely help me look through those photos if I had some friend accountability to do it. It’s just so… I it’s like overwhelming because there’s too many to look at and I feel like I need to do it all in one sitting. Maybe that’s my problem is I feel like I need to do it all in one sitting, why do I feel that way?

    (I HAVE A SURVEY BELOW WHERE YOU CAN SHARE FEEDBACK!)

    Oh my gosh mosquitoes, oh a squirrel! Okay, I’m getting it distracted now. I’ve talked about the important things. It’s already been 5 minutes. Okay. I just want to say y’all are amazing. I am thinking about you all the time. I am stressed out by computer work things, which is why I haven’t been posting that much recently. I think about you all the time and I want to figure out a way to be more consistent and like, actually share things on here that is sustainable for me. Because being on the computer for hours a day is not my favorite thing. It stresses me out a lot and it’s not enjoyable. So I need to figure out how to do things in a way that I’m still able to share with you, but it doesn’t require as much time on the computer. 

    So, if you have any ideas, I’m definitely open to that because I really want to share more with you and spend more time with you. Maybe I maybe instead of having Vlogs, we can just hang out live because that to me doesn’t take as much energy. That’s more fun than just like sitting at a desk. Okay, Yeah. Into feedback! I love you all so much! Thank you for being here and I’ll talk to you soon!

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi! It’s actually been quite a while since I made a vlog for you, so I thought I’d come and say hi! It’s starting to rain a little bit, so hopefully it won’t get too much rain, but I have some exciting potential things that will be happening at the end of October that I will probably tell you more about later, but I want to give you a heads-up that like things are happening and I’m excited! So vague, right?

    But something I can tell you about is I made a little PowerPoint PDF thing. It’s actually maybe not that little, it’s like 23 pages, but it’s all about how queer nature is. It’s kind of like a mini book report on this book that I read that blew my mind in the best way! Yeah, I wanted to share this PDF with y’all and see what you think. I’m also considering maybe doing like a like mini webinar where I just like infodump about queer nature. If you’re interested in that, please let me know because I have been thinking about maybe doing that because I think it’d be fun and if you want to be live with me while I infodump about queer nature, then let me know and we can do that!

    I do want to tell you more about October. So I know one of them is for sure definitely happening, so I’m going to tell you about that one, but there’s another thing that’s happening at the end of October that’s like, most likely going to happen, but I don’t want to jinx it, so I’m going to wait to tell you that.

    So the one that I know is happening is there is this photography space in Charlotte called The Light Factory. They do gallery exhibitions, they do photography classes, they do workshops, all kinds of stuff, they do photo walks for the community where they just like, walk around Charlotte (and I’m getting bit by mosquitos). This is where they walk around Charlotte and do photography stuff, it’s pretty cool. They reached out to me to teach a self portrait workshop!!!!

    I remember, I was a teenager, dreaming of having art in the gallery there at The Light Factory. And I did, I was part of one of their group member shows way back in the day. Where basically anybody that wanted to share their art could put it in the member show, so it wasn’t like this juried fancy thing or anything, but that felt really cool and I was like in high school or college or something so it was several years ago.

    The Light Factory reached out to me!!! Probably because I have a couple friends who teach there already, so thank you friends!! They put in a good word for me! So The Light Factory is like “Hey Bunny do you want to teach a self portrait workshop?” and I’m like “hell yes I do!!!” So at the end of October… October 23rd? 24th? 23rd. I think it’s the 23rd, I will be teaching a workshop about self portraiture with them. I’m really excited. We’re going to do it outside at a park because I don’t want to do anything inside, because of lots of reasons, like covid is probably number 1 reason I don’t want to do stuff inside, and 2 because I just feel like self portraits are so much better in nature, you know me! So yeah, we’re gonna go to a park and I’m gonna teach a self portrait workshop and I’m really excited.

    So it’s like a big opportunity for me and I just feel super special that they reached out to me. Like wow… also maybe I should start actually applying to things because that would help me do more cool fun stuff like the self portrait workshop. Yeah, so I’m really excited. And yeah, originally we were going to do a full day workshop, but they are unable to pay my rate, so we’re going to do a short 2 hour workshop, because that is more aligned with what I’m able to provide based on what they’re able to pay me, because I really do want to create a relationship with The Light Factory. So I think even though I’m not getting paid at my full rate for this workshop, I think it’s a good opportunity for me to meet other artists in Charlotte get my foot in the door with The Light Factory, be able to put The Light Factory on my resume. Yeah, mostly I’m just excited to meet the other creative people.

    Sorry, like fly… Something’s flying around me! I totally forgot what I was saying. Yeah, so I’m really excited and I’m excited to share that with you, and I’m going to be sharing the link to the PDF for the queer nature below. You can download it if you want, I’m just going to share with you. But yeah, let me know if you want to do like a little webinar about queer nature because I’m obsessed, and yeah, I mean if you have been around for any amount of time, then you know that I love nature and queer nature is like the best way to affirm my queerness because like it’s super natural! Well, not Supernatural but it’s super space natural. It is very natural. Okay, I’m getting kind of goofy now.

    I’m gonna go hang out with my sister later today, meet her new doggy! And yeah, I think that’s all I have to share. So, yeah, thank you so much for being here. I love you so much.

    I have honestly been kind of struggling with what I want to share on my website now, since I’m not taking as many photos as I used to, but I also really want to start doing more educational kind of things and I just have to make up my mind and actually do something. I think that’s the problem because I have so many ideas! It’s hard to choose and then I don’t do any of them, and I’m like, why? So I need to just pick a thing and go! So that was my queer nature thing, I just picked that and did it, and now I am sharing with you. So, I hope you like it! Hope you have a great day! I love you so much, and I’ll talk to you soon!

    VIRTUAL NUDE GATHERING

    Saturday, September 4th at 1pm eastern

    In 2019 I facilitated 3 in-person nude gatherings and knew that I NEEDED to share more of these experiences with others. Then the pandemic happened and in-person events were no longer possible, so I’ve adapted nude gatherings for the virtual realm!!

    The first virtual nude gathering went so well that I extended the length of time we’re together!

    Several people from the first virtual event mentioned they wished the event would be longer… + I think that’s a wonderful idea!

    Instead of 1 hour we gather for 90 minutes!!

    Join us to create this community space together

    We gathered from all over the USA + the world!

    Past attendees have included people from across the globe including the USA, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Germany, Netherlands + Australia.


    Feedback from nude gatherers:

    “Nude gatherings have helped me to recontextualize nudity with a happy, healing family.

Your fears and insecurities are probably based on a misconception of what the event will be like. We aren’t there to gawk at you. We aren’t there for sexual stimulation or arousal.

    “Before the gathering I felt anxious, doubtful, scared, overwhelmed. Afterwards I felt grounded, seen, heard, respected, unashamed, hopeful that society is moving in the right direction.”
