What is Femme Fire?

Welcome to Femme Fire Productions' Blog! You might ask yourself, "What is Femme Fire?"

Femme Fire was originally inspired by a YouTube video I like -- "The Omo People" from TubunMuzu -- and sent by my friend and colleague, Master Retreat & Life Coach Margie Scott.

What does this video say to you? Does it bring up any feelings? It made an impact on my psyche. As I sat in meditation, some of the images would materialize in my mind's eye. This was intriguing and also stimulating because of my longtime interest in and fascination with anthropology. For me, the Omo's everyday self-adornment signifies a deeply imprinted, primal bond with the Earth. It is creative self-expression in action where the artist, the canvas, and the materials are One. Love is evident -- love of self, love of Earth, love of family and community. What would it be like to celebrate One's Self, Source and Earth in this way? every day? How would this change me? us? our society? Would it help to heal the planet?

As time passed, I began to envision a woman's retreat -- a sacred space where women could converge into community and co-create, participate in a self-adornment ritual similar to the Omo people. I saw a group of zesty, alive, happy women hiking together, seeking and gathering materials for our ritual. Together in harmony, we mixed natural plant dyes, added water to clay, stirred cauldrons over fire, wove leaves and flowers, sticks and berries into garlands and headdresses. These visions led to more glorious visions, which will be shared with you as long as you desire to remain connected to Femme Fire Productions and me, Lotus Allen, its creatrix.
