Dopamine Kisses 💊💋 out now!
Song Meaning:
In any relationship it can be the most beautiful thing to see the best in the other person. You love them so much that you can see the best version of themselves when they may not see it. You see through insecurities, vulnerabilities, & want them to be the most authentic version of themselves as they exist in the world. The challenge lies in thinking we can change or fix someone else. Another persons desire to grow has to come from them. I’ve struggled with a ‘savior complex’ throughout my life from a religious upbringing & thinking I’m capable of saving other people from themselves. The reality I/we face is that we cannot change anyone. I’ve learned time & time again that it is not my responsibility. What I am capable of though, is walking beside them through their own struggles as they grow into the person that they want to be, not who I think they should be. 🫂

MISSIO || Chapter 6.1 || ‘I Remember When’ out now. 💔
Song Description:
The world is changing/transitioning at such a rapid pace that it feels impossible to keep up with right now. There’s a general apathy that everyone feels but no one seems to be talking about. We want to talk about it. ‘I Remember When’ reminisces about those nostalgic feelings of growing up when life felt easier, when the summer time made us feel free, and alive. Maybe it’s just the natural progression of age but life feels harder to resonate with as we experience some of the harsh realities of the world we all share right now.

And last but certainly not least, the one and only Josie Seid @josieseid breathed life into our final goddess: the Goddess of Water.
Thank you to Kevin Dyer @kevin.dyer and Framework @pdxframework for providing the studio for these goddess shoots!
We also owe a huge shoutout to Jared Jonas @aytherestherub , our video engineer, for bringing these videos to life in the Grove and all the brain gymnastics required to pull off this multimedia wizardry!
This concludes the reveal of the Goddesses, but there is still much more to come…
#shakingthetreetheatre
Our Goddess of Earth was portrayed by the brilliant Briana Ratterman Trevithick @brianatrevithick (reprising her role as Mother, but this time Mother Earth 😉)!
When the goddesses revealed themselves, each of our princesses were drawn to a specific one with Princess Bina in the center taking all four in. Together, this force of nine energies instilled a hive mind amongst the princesses, creating a formidable presence in the Grove.
#shakingthetreetheatre
The Goddess of Fire was played by our very own Rebby Yuer Foster and Draco!
While shooting this 20 minute single take, Draco blew everyone’s minds by sitting on Rebby’s lap the entire time! They were absolutely in sync with each other and it was pretty magical to witness both on set and in the Grove.
#shakingthetreetheatre
After our princesses made a pact to runaway together, they feverishly started packing, taking whatever they could from the Grove. Suddenly, the cabinets glowed within, revealing four Goddesses of the Grove watching over and protecting our princesses.
The first goddess unveiled was the Goddess of Air, played by the unparalleled Maria Porter!
These videos were filmed by @robert.anthony at @pdxframework . Our technical director and set builder Nate Raphael @nate_raphael brought director and set designer Samantha Van Der Merwe’s intricate drawings to life with these gorgeous cabinets.
