    CAPTIONS FOR THIS VIDEO:

    Hi friends! This weekend I’m sharing a photoset that I took outside of Portland Oregon of my friend Ambivalent Ann. I met her during the nude beach gathering that I facilitated outside of Portland last summer, and we met up again to take photos of each other at a different nude beach. It was super fun. There were other people there but it wasn’t super crowded or overwhelmingly a lot of people. I went to the nude beach that she and I went to another time with other models that I’ll be sharing with you. It was a really great time and it’s a beautiful nude beach and I believe I’ve already shared the photos that she took of me so these are the photos I took of her there. I love that we had access to the water and there was natural trees and grasses and stuff that we could hang out in too and of course the sandy beach which is nice. I’m always definitely a mountain person, but the beach is nice too. If I had the choice I’d go to the mountains before I’d go to the beach, to be honest.

    I’m excited that I have finally decided what I want to do. Of course it might change because life happens, things happen, I might be called to do something different, but at this moment I’ve decided that I’m going to be making some changes. I’m really excited about them, and I hope you are too! For those of you who are in the photo level, you’re getting upgraded! I’ll explain that in a second. For everybody, on Mondays at 6pm EST I’ll be doing livestreams on my youtube channel. (I’ll link to that HERE!) Make sure to subscribe to my youtube channel so you can see all the Monday livestreams that I’ll be doing! The first one coming up is this coming Monday the 6th and my mom will be a special guest! We’re going to talk about holding space for all of our feelings, because we’ve both learned a lot about holding space and what that truly means over the last couple of years, and we have knowledge that we would like to share about it. We’ll also probably do some mini meditations at the beginning and end and have a conversation, I’m really excited about that! If you’d like to join our circle on Monday, it’ll be every Monday (this time my mom will be joining!) at 6pm EST on my youtube channel, so subscribe!

    Every Thursday at 6pm EST I’m doing a members only live video chat via freeconferencecall. I have topics already scheduled out (CLICK HERE FOR THE SCHEDULE) I have the whole list of dates and what all I’ll be discussing (topics) and all of those are up for potential rearranging, changing, upgrading, adding, subtracting. I’m not going to hold myself into a small box of like “this is what I decided to do 3 weeks ago, and I have to follow that 3 weeks from now” when I might have something different going on. It’s like a template, a basic general idea of what I’d like to discuss, but I want to give yall the ability to let me know what you’re interested in and excited about! I would like to cater those Thursday live video chats with yall to what you’re interested in talking about and experiencing. If you want to see what my tentative plan/schedule is, it’s at bunnyluna.com/schedule.

    I’m really excited! I’ve wanted to go more into video and more actual community and spending time with each other instead of being like “here’s something that I typed up and here’s photos that I took, that’s it, here enjoy it”. I want to be more connected to yall and have more experiences with you, even if it’s just virtual. For me, especially with everything that’s going on, I’ve really enjoyed the times that I’ve been able to talk to someone and see their face and hear their voice. Even if it’s not in person and it’s just digitally like this. To me it’s so much more connecting than just reading text and seeing a photo. I tend to try to do these blog posts early. Like, today is Thursday (I think? Who knows what day it is). I think today is Thursday. I won’t be starting the live video chats today obviously because you won’t see this video til Saturday. But I like to do things early if it’s something like a blog post and getting photosets ready to show you. I feel like I’m not as present with you when I’m doing that because I’m scheduling stuff for the future. I want to be present with you. I want to have a conversation with you, have a dialogue, see your face, hear your voice (if you’re into that). I would like for us to have a conversation. I want to ask “what is something that you’ve enjoyed that I’ve done?” so I can do more of that.

    I’m excited about these changes I’m making. Another change that I’m doing is May 1st I will be discontinuing the photo membership tier, that whole photo membership I won’t sell anymore. I think I have to technically keep it in my store and just have a cap of how many people can join and hide it. Anyone that’s in the photo membership before May 1st will automatically be upgraded to the VIDEO membership on May 1st. I think the only thing different is that since the photo membership is so discounted, like right now I have it at only $10 (usually $15) and the video membership is $33, that’s a HUGE discount. The people that are upgraded from photo to video, they won’t have the video percent off in my store, they’ll have the photo percent off, which I think is 5-10%, but that’s the only thing that would be different, you get everything else. Instead of only having access to the photosets, you’ll also get access to all of my videos that I’ve made since 2015. That’s 5 years of videos, probably thousands of videos, at least hundreds if not thousands. I have a ridiculous amount of content on my website for yall to see already. So if you’re not a photo member, then you already have access to all of these. Video and up already has access to all of my videos. Everybody, all of my members, will always have access to my live video chats. That’s Monday nights on youtube, which is free for everybody, and the Thursday video calls through freeconferencecall which is members only, so all members have access to that. I may or may not record those, the Thursday ones, I don’t know, it depends on how they go and if you’re interested in me recording them. I might record them sometimes, I might not. I’m trying to be open and accepting and willing to change, because I know that nothing stays the same ever, so I might as well let memberships and my website grow with me. I’m trying to make sure I haven’t left anything out. All members have access to all of my videos starting May 1st. If you’re a photo member and you start TODAY, then you’ll only have photo access until May, and then starting May 1st all members of all levels will have video access. I’m excited! Because then I’ll only have 3 membership levels instead of 4 and that will simplify everything. I’ll have the basics of everything which includes video, which I think is important because it allows me to connect with yall in a deeper way.

    Starting with video, then first look and all access get extra content for first look and all access… but since you’re watching this then you’re already a member and you probably already know that. I’m really excited, I think since I’m going in the video direction anyway, why keep a photo tier, why not just start at video? In the future, since I haven’t been creating a lot of photo stuff lately, I might not upload a new photoset every week, starting a couple months from now. I have stuff through at least early to mid June at least, from my archives that I haven’t shared yet. So you’re still going to get new consistent content every week at least until early to mid June. Depending on if I’m inspired to create photos or not, and depending on how things work… I think state parks and stuff are closed already so I don’t have as many opportunities to go to the places I’d want to shoot anyway. I don’t want to just shoot everything at my house, I’ve already shot so much here. I might, instead of doing a photoset every week, I might just do videos every week. I don’t know, we’ll see when we get there. I just wanted to give you a heads up because things are changing and I’m trying to be flexible. I think its important to be flexible and to allow things to shift and change and just go with the flow of where life is taking me. I definitely want to go the video route more, I’ve already started that a little bit, and I’m excited to take you on this journey with me!

    I’m so thankful yall are here! I literally would not be able to do this without you. Since all of my gigs have been cancelled because of what’s going on in the world, yall are why I have food on the table and I really appreciate that so much! I love that we enrich each other’s lives, and that means a lot to me. I appreciate you and I love you and please let me know if you have things you want me to discuss or questions that you have or things you’d like to learn from me! I have so much stuff in my brain.

    Let’s start by, if you have time, checking out the schedule (click here), seeing if the topics for the live chats are something that you’re interested in, and if Thursday at 6pm works for you. It’s a day that I was consistently available, and I figure a lot of people’s schedules have probably changed a lot anyway. I’m going to go with this for now and it’s something that can change in the future if that’s whats best for everyone. I’m excited, I love you, I’m so glad you’re on this wild adventure with me! Thank you so much! I love you, and I’ll talk to you soon!

    Don’t forget, Monday, a couple days from now, me and my mom, holding space! On Youtube, 6pm EST! We’re also going to do it on Thursday so Mommy is going to be my special guest all week next week. Yall will get to meet her and converse with her during our private video chat too! If you watch our livestream on Monday and you’re like “oh, I wanna talk to Bunny and Willow about this thing that they mentioned and didn’t talk a whole lot more about it. I wanna ask questions about that!” Come join us on Thursday because she’s going to join me too! We can talk about it because there’s going to be less people and not a livestream on youtube, it’s gonna be an intimate gathering of just members! I’m so excited! I love you! I’ll talk to you soon. Bye!

  • June St Paul in Joshua Tree

    CAPTION FOR VIDEO ABOVE:
    Hi friends! This week I’m sharing a photoset that I took last summer in Joshua Tree California (technically we were right outside of Joshua Tree) at an airbnb that was super amazing and fancy. It was me and my friend June St Paul and we took photos in and around the pool at the airbnb that is owned by one of her friends. It was a really cool experience, I really enjoyed spending a few days there and it was beautiful and relaxing and the pool was really fancy and they had just opened the pool. If you want to watch a whole bunch of videos from my trip I still have them all on my website for free (in the free section, the free galleries) you can watch all of the videos I made like every day. It was a really cool experience and I hadn’t seen her in a long time and it was enjoyable.

    I’m feeling low energy today and I have plans for doing an earth connection meditation for all of yall and maybe a free one for people who aren’t members. Maybe clothed for them and nude for yall because I know I’m safe being nude with yall! I just… I don’t know… thats the thing thats been calling to me the most. I dont know, I have these doubts of myself for some reason and I’m kinda reluctant to schedule things on a regular basis because I don’t want to then feel stuck to that and I don’t want to let people down. Right now I’m in a place where I want to plan things and not do them, or I don’t even want to plan stuff. It’s kinda weird. I donno, it might just be the energy of everything that’s going on that’s effecting that for me. I know that I appreciate yall so much because I’m able to buy groceries and stuff because you’re supporting me because this is my full time thing. I appreciate that so much.

    I want to continue doing live gatherings with yall online, I’ve just kinda been in a funk lately with everything going on and I feel like I need to center myself and get back into my body and my heart before I can start sharing stuff with the world. I feel like I haven’t truly honestly spent enough time with and for myself in a really long time, and I’m getting better at that, but I still feel off kilter. Which is kinda weird because I’ve been self quarantining here at home for over a week, almost 2, no not 2 weeks yet. But I’ve spent a lot of time with myself and I keep feeling like I’m not doing enough and then at the same time I don’t want to make plans to do things because I don’t know what I’m going to feel like for the things that I have the plans for or if I’ll actually want to do them and it’s a weird thing.

    I know that I for sure have photosets and videos that I can continue to share with yall through early June for sure. I haven’t created anything since like… September. It’s been a long time since I’ve had my camera out. I just haven’t been motivated, I haven’t felt like it, it hasn’t been something that’s been exciting to me or something that I’ve wanted to do for a while and I’m trying to be gentle with myself about it, even though it’s kinda stressing me out at the same time. I know that I need some changes and I’m not quite sure what those are. I feel like videos and actual connection with yall and other people around the world is the direction that I’m heading in, but I just haven’t quite gotten there yet, to knowing what that is for me and how that feels and if that’s… I don’t know. So I’m in a weird place and I feel like a lot of us are in a weird place, so I just wanted to say that if you’re in a weird place that you’re not alone and that this isn’t going to last forever. There’s at least one person that loves you and that person is me.

    I have like 3 videos on ecosexuality that I’ve slowly started making. They’re all about 15 minutes or longer, because I can weave ecosexuality into basically any topic and it weaves into everything for me. I feel like that’s the direction that I’m going in, is ecosexuality and healing and connection with each other and the earth is really what’s actually calling me lately. It’s also scary at the same time because I know yall have this expectation of nude art from me, and I love that, and I love making nude art, it’s just not something thats been on the forefront of my mind in a while. Or something that’s been that exciting for me lately. So I don’t really know what that means and I’m trying to be gentle with myself. I’m trying to just let myself do the things that I feel good about, and trust that that’s the direction that I should go in.

    So thats… what I have to share with you today I guess. I’m going to be spending some time just… with myself, figuring things out, feeling into all of these feelings that I’ve been repressing for over a year still. It’s hard to just wake up and face yourself and your emotions sometimes. It’s really scary because it feels like… what’s after that? There’s a big abyss of unknown of like, what is my life going to be like if I actually allow myself to feel these feelings because I don’t want it to take me over. And what’s on the other side of that? Yeah, life is weird.

    I hope yall are doing good. I hope I haven’t brought you down. I do have some uplifting videos that I’ve previously recorded that I’ll probably share at some point. I just… want to make things that younger me needed, and that younger me wished I knew, and I want to be a sense of support and love for other people and I want to affirm other people in their identities, and that’s the thing that I’ve been most interested in recently. Just being someone that understands and someone that cares about everyone and isn’t judgmental and lets everyone be themselves because that’s who we are supposed to be!

    Okay, it’s already been 10 minutes, I need to stop making these really long because it takes me a long time to type them up. Thank you for being here, I love you so much. If you have anything to share with me I’m always open, you can always email me or comment on this post. I love you and thank you for being here and I appreciate you and I’ll talk to you next week. <3

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:
    Hello! Hi! Today is March 18th, I’m pretty sure, because I think yesterday was the 17th. Today is Wednesday, whatever that means to you. I think this week is when I want to start my video blogs to y’all instead of doing a typed blog. Also, I maybe considering typing this up too because it’s more accessible to have a typed version and a video version, so I might also type it up so that anyone who needs closed captioning kinda stuff can read what I’m saying. That’ll take a while so I’m going to try to not make this video too long.

    I really enjoyed the video chat last weekend with the members who came. Thank you so much to all of yall who made it. It was really fun to hang out with yall and chat about all kinds of stuff! I’m really excited to make changes and updates to my website and the things that I offer and the things that I do for yall. I’ve been doing the same thing for a long time and I think that it’s a good idea to change and elevate and evolve my website along with me, because I’m changing and evolving always. So if you’re here and you expect things to stay the same forever then you’ll probably be disappointed because I don’t stay the same forever so my offerings and the things that I do here can’t stay the same forever, because then I’ll just be holding myself back and I don’t want to do that. All of the feedback I’ve gotten so far from people who have reached out to me have been that you’ve appreciated and enjoyed the changes that I’ve made throughout the long time that I’ve had some kind of membership site. I used to have a patreon and that’s no longer, technically its still there and you can see the archives in it, and I’m not making any new updates and it’s not something I’m spending time on. I’ve already evolved some and this is just more evolution for me.

    Today I left my partners house, I had been staying there for several days, I think I got there on Thursday or Friday and I just came back… today’s Wednesday so it’s been almost a week that I’ve been over there. I helped him get more prepared to be at home by himself for hopefully a week. I guess I was more concerned about him than I was for myself because I’m pretty set up here with my parents and I had just gone to the grocery store with my mom, and we already have a lot of things figured out here. My partner tends to go to the grocery store every day sometimes just to get the things he needs for that day. So I was helping him make meal plans and get groceries for more than just a day and encouraging him to hopefully… well he doesnt have any control over it, but where he works is the camera store that I occassionally work at and our boss was really dragging his feet on closing to the public and just being online or curbide pickup but he’s finally going to be doing that tomorrow (Thursday). I’ve been telling him to do something like this since Saturday and he’s been really dragging his feet but I’m glad he’s at least starting this because it’s important to minimize contact with other people. Which is really hard for me and sucks because I’m so physical touch… I’m a very huggy person, I like being close to people, and that’s going to be a challenge for me. And I knew that once I left my partner’s house I probably won’t see him in person for a while because I’m going to be hunkering down here with my parents for the forseeable future until this blows over. I was sad to say goodbye to him today because I don’t know when I’ll see him in person again and I really enjoy cuddles and hugs and kisses like a whole lot. We’ve already made plans to talk to each other on some kind of video chat probably once a day or more or some kind of text or call or something once a day so I’ll be able to see how he’s doing and talk to him and all that. I’m so thankful that we have the technology that we do that connects us in this way. It’s so wonderful, if it was 1950 we’d be so isolated and it would be hard to work from home or see our friends from far away. I’m so thankful that even though this is a shitty situation, that we have ways to stay connected even if we’re far away from each other and that’s such a wonderful thing and I’m so glad we’re able to do that. So I’m home… for a while.

    All of my modeling gigs for the next couple months have either been canceled or rescheduled or postponed. Right now yall are my sole source of income which is kinda scary, but it’s also wonderful because I appreciate each of you so much and I’m so glad you’re here. I would like to make this space an even more special space, and I’m really excited about the live video chats! I would love to do more of those, I definitely am doing at least one a month for all members, I might even be doing them more frequently than that. I appreciate that yall are here with me and you care about the things that I make and want to hear what I have to say and that’s really special and wonderful and affirming for me and I love you so much! I want to put even more energy than I already put into this. My primary income has been from my website for a while now, so why not make this an even more special wonderful place? I want to do more videos for yall I want to do more live videos. I will be discontinuing the daily photos starting April, so you’ll see daily photos through the end of this month and then in April you’ll just get weekly updates from me every Saturday. I might occasionally do random posts other times, but you’ll always get something from me every Saturday. It’ll probably include videos like this! I’ve already been talking for 8.5 minutes and I’ll have to caption a lot but yall are worth it. I love you!

    I would love to hear anything you have to say about what kinds of things you want to see from me, anything I’ve been doing really well, anything you think I could do better. I’m totally open to any and all suggestions or requests or feedback that you have. I’m here for you! Tell me what you need and I would love to provide that! I want to do more magickal things, I want to do more community things, I want to do more healing things, so look for that from me coming soon. I don’t know what I’m doing yet, but I’m doing lots of wonderful things, I have lots of ideas, and this is just one that I’ll be sharing with you very soon.

    I love you so much! Thank you for being here! As always you’re welcome to comment on this post if you want to talk to me, or you can email me at bunnyluna@pm.me, or through bunnyluna.com/contact. I’d love to hear from you if you want to say anything or if you want to say hi!

    Sorry this is kinda shaky, I’m holding it with my hand. I’m kinda ok with it, if it really bothers you I can start putting it on a tripod but I love the freedom of just grabbing my phone, making a video when I’m feeling expired, and just doing it. This is already 10 minutes, I think that’s probably a max of what I should do. I love you so much! Thank you for being here! I appreciate each and every one of you so much. All of the things you’ve been sending me, emails, comments, DMs, I appreciate them all. I really value your feedback and what you have to say. Feel free to reach out to me! I’m always here! I may not respond immediately because I have a life where I’m not always on the computer. I appreciate you. I love you. Thank you so much! I’ll talk to you soon. <3

  • Sura with Pegasus & self portraits

    I have soooo much to still share with you from the nude beach gathering I facilitated last summer outside of Portland Oregon! This set of Sura is from that day on the beach! She has such a fun, wild, and exuberant energy and is an absolute pleasure to create with. You can probably imagine how much fun she is just by looking at these photos of her with the Pegasus float she brought with her for the event!

    The self portraits I’ve shared this week are from August 2018 (I have several more sets from that trip to share with you too!) when I took my first solo trip to the NC mountains. That was a time of growth and learning for me, when I first started understanding that I can do things on my own instead of having to always have someone with me to have a good experience. That trip really helped me know that I could for sure do the cross country trip by myself last summer.

    CURRENTLY: Today is the 10th (getting ready early as always) and I started my period yesterday (during the full moon) and today I have been feeling not so great emotionally. I continue to feel stuck and unfulfilled and like I need more things to change in my life and I’m still not quite to the place where I know what those changes are yet. I do know that I have been gravitating much more toward doing more videos for y’all instead of text and/or photo posts, and I’m VERY seriously considering not doing the daily photo posts anymore because of the time commitment it is for me to get them all prepped for you every month, plus from my understanding most of you probably only sign on to my website once a week or so anyway. Also, you ALL have access to ALL of my photos anyway… so you literally won’t be missing much at all. I feel like I could bring a lot more value to you here if I did MORE video content for EVERYONE and stop doing the daily photos. I do enjoy doing the weekly photoset releases and blogs, so I probably will continue those.

    What do you think? No more daily photo posts, and replace them with videos/vlogs 1-4x a month? Comment below or email me at bunnyluna@pm.me!

    I have daily photo posts scheduled through the end of this month… the change would start in April.

    Depending on how well the group live video chat goes on Sunday I may do those with you every month as well.

    REMINDER: Sunday the 15th at 7pm EST is the intimate members only group live video chat with me!

    I will share the login info with you HERE on my blog 5-10 minutes before the chat starts, so make sure to check back for all the info on how to join me! It will be via freeconferencecall.com (you can join on your computer/laptop OR via their app on your phone!) so make sure to give yourself 5-10 minutes or so to download the app (for computer or phone) beforehand so you can join us!

    This week’s photoset and BTS video release is from my time with Quinn Sanguine (they/them pronouns) and Megan Ayn (she/her pronouns) in Tacoma Washington during my cross country road trip last summer. I have another set on the way that I took of Quinn and Megan! I stayed with Quinn for almost a week while I was out there, and it was so wonderful to catch up with them again. We originally met a few years ago when they were traveling up and down the east coast before their move to the PNW. You might remember them from previous photosets when they were using a different name (here here here and here if you wanna check those out!). We kept in touch online while they did their own cross country road trip which was also their move from the east coast to the west coast. It was so wonderful to spend time with them again, I consider them a really close friend even if we spend weeks without contacting each other… as soon as we are together it’s as if no time has passed.

    I had been wanting to meet Megan for a long time, I knew of her through social media and it was wonderful to finally meet in person! She lives just minutes away from Quinn, and before we were setting up the shoot they had no idea they were so close to each other! Megan is such a kind person and has a great upbeat personality, it was a treat to be able to spend the day with both her and Quinn. I was exhausted and low on energy that day… I almost didn’t shoot any film because there was almost not enough light, but I’m glad I found the one roll of 1600 ISO film that I brought with me. Those photos are coming soon!

    CURRENTLY: I’ve been reading a lot over the last few weeks, probably more than I have in the last few years combined. As a kid I used to read allllll the time, but then once I became an adult and was working full time and married… I just didn’t take time to myself to read anymore. I didn’t really realize how much I missed it until I started reading consistently again over the winter.

    I recently bought FOUR books by Charles Eisenstein, who has opened up my world and mind to so much more than I ever thought possible. He is the reason I consider myself an ecosexual. Before reading his essay The Ecosexual Awakening I had never even heard of ecosexuality, and now it’s a major part of my life. The label ecosexual gave me the space to be able to fill in and understand a lot of aspects of myself that I didn’t have words for before.

    I just finished his book The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible and I just started Climate – A New Story and wow he basically speaks directly to my heart, and it’s everything I’ve been looking for. Have you ever read a book that shifted your perspective so much that something changed inside you? That after reading it, you’re a different person than you were before? That’s Charles Eisenstein’s work for me. After being in despair looking for something to hold on to, something that didn’t crush my heart, something that felt TRUE and REAL and TANGIBLE, his words are giving me hope for humanity and the future of the planet.

    If nothing else, I highly recommend watching some of his videos on youtube.

    I’m not affiliated with him in any way (though if I was that would be amazing), I just love everything of his that I’ve come into contact with and I hope that his message reaches as many people as possible.

    Thank you so much for reading this far, for your continuous support of me, and for your love. I appreciate each and every one of you so much. I literally could not do this without you. Thank you. <3
