More About The Tower of the Rose
This is a story of initiation, grief, and the transformation that comes from walking through the dark night of the soul. Moving from isolation to community, grief to healing, and separation to wholeness, The Tower of the Rose illuminates the collective initiations many of us experience as women, femme bodies, artists, and healers, including:
Deconditioning the internalized male gaze and patriarchy
Reclaiming self-love through community
Pursuing purpose and dreams from a place of agency
Rising from rock bottom
Reestablishing true worthiness and belonging
Healing body-image wounds
