Our Story

Ultimately, it's about calling in all aspects of the self and celebrating the power of delight and pleasure.

Our Conversation

This story traces elements of Elizabeth's own life, and also speaks to the experience of so many women moving through in their lifetimes. Together, we explore:

• - How to see the familiar trinity of the maiden, mother, and crone imagery in a new way
• - How so many stories are about fibers and threads, particularly The Fates who were so powerful when it came to determining life and death
• - The desire to reframe the stories that show wise, powerful women as ugly. Why do women have to be deformed in the process of creating realities?
• - Elizabeth's home in Brittany, France where faery and Celtic lore are so present and potent. The tale of Les Lavandières, the three Midnight Washerwomen who wash the shrouds of those who will die.
• - The gift of the three women in the story: Sovereignty, Love, Trust
• - A reframe on “luxury”: it’s not a yacht or golden table service. Instead luxury can be as simple as silence or sunshine.
• - The power of women and the salon across Europe, including in Ireland and France
• - You may be unfamiliar with the term la quaintrelle: A woman who emphasizes a life of passion expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life’s pleasures.
