I have been very very very very fortunate to have stayed many times at the Accommodation & Venue in Yzerfontein , all 4 beautiful, healing , soulful homes. And better yet, my dogs no matter how big & sandy are always invited with no hesitation , ever! My friendship with Denise Levy has been a soul connection. An unlikely friendship only because our worlds are so far apart - but how amazing that our souls have known its home, a necessary pairing. I do believe that Denise brings more to the table as she is incredibly generous and kind and my small way of exchanging this beautiful energy between us is by capturing my stays ( when Im not completely burnt out ).. Funny enough, the dogs and I recently stayed at their newest house Accommodation in Yzerfontein - downstairs is built for events, weddings, retreats YOU NAME IT! While upstairs a two bedroom, very spacious peace of heaven. I went to rest, recalibrate, self regulate , process - In desperate need of silence and deep sleep. The funny part is , I was almost immediately restored while enjoying my first 3 hours - My energy, my calm, and my CREATIVITY ! oh how I have missed it. As many of you know, Bailey and I always did road trips together and I just loved photographing him so much - I even created DMG around him and our adventures. Something as bitter sweet as visiting one of our favourite places and not having him there was surprisingly reframed . I found myself feeling closer to him and child-like in witnessing Reefs FIRST road trip through my lens. I could finally pick up my camera for pure love and enjoyment. One struggles to tap into creativity when you are heartbroken and burnt out , so this was a very good sign. The following 3 nights and 4 days later, I had rediscovered the parts of me I had lost and honestly, I owe that to Denise Levy for being so deeply intentional with each home. I can confidently say that her vision for events and retreats serves its purpose the way she intended. No, not for the gorgeous decor or the incredible comfort of every detail in every corner. Not many people may know how deeply guided she is, she is pure light and when you stay at her homes something always heals inside of you.
