The past few months have been pretty huge. It’s fantastic to shoot boudoir in the new Foxy Studio space. It’s been so nice to be able to walk into my backyard, up a few stairs, and be in a sexy light-filled space that can be used for photography as well as education. Dreams sometimes really do come true!
Yes, you see that correctly…
Badass Class: Sex Ed teacher Diana Love was using a pussy puppet to explain female anatomy!
We have so many educational events coming up that I want to tell you about! We launched a “Badass Class” series at Foxy, educational events to build community with wonderful peeps, centered around topics important to women.
At least once per month we’re holding an educational/community-building Badass Class. On Sunday February 16 we’re hosting a Badass Class on Self Love, in March there will be one on Pelvic Floor Health, and in April it will be on Anti-Racism Education. What would you like to learn about?
Foxy Studio has also been used for other workshops: Candlelit Yoga series (next one in March), a series on mindfulness, yoga for girls ages 9-11 & moms+daughters yoga, a class about maximizing pleasure, sexy selfies, and couples massage classes & most recently a series on intro to Magic. If you have an idea for the space please be in touch! I would love to host a social justice book club, groups for boys, group meditation, educational events, and any sort of group offering support to others!
So far we’ve hosted 2 Badass Classes: one on Sex Education for Adults and the other about Menopause. They were both fundraisers for the Girls Empowerment groups for middle schoolers that I run with Ali Ann Brooks, LCSW.
The girls empowerment groups have been so impactful and the most fulfilling work to do! I’m amazed at how much the kids want to talk about deeper issues & be more self aware. The series is filled up for this year, the next series starts in fall 2020. BUT we are doing a number of 1 day events throughout the year, including a 3 hour workshop for girls 11-14 to learn Chimera® Self-Defense. Chimera teaches that everyone has the right and ability to protect themselves. All techniques are easy to learn and use, and are designed to help the defender stop the attack and escape. That’ll be March 8 @1pm. Registration opens next week (past students will have first dibs!).
In November we also launched a Facebook group, called Foxy: A Badass Group for Women. I invited some friends, friends invited their friends, and it legit spread like wildfire. So far we have over 1200 members (!!!) and it’s deep and meaningful! The goal is simple: provide space for women to support and learn from each other, ask questions, and have a whole bunch of laughs. If I didn’t invite you, it’s because I am lazy. Please excuse my attention span and click to join us!
Part of my intention with Foxy Studio has been to build community. It feeds my soul and life has become more enjoyable and fulfilling. I’ve learned a ton already- a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone that’s part of this project/community.
Both Badass Classes so far have sold out within a week(ahhhh!)- if you’d like to be among the first to sign-up you can join my mailing list to find out early and guarantee a spot!
If you have any ideas for Badass Classes or want to collaborate please contact me. I’m looking forward to rocking 2020 with you all!
Lots of love,
Maureen
