Yonitown

I write this words as the train departs from Salem. Yes! Somehow I ended up around here with a day spare so I made my way to the witchy town.

At Salem Witch Museum I read: In history, the belief in magic can be loosely understood as a set of traditions and rituals that allowed people to explain the unexplainable and feel as though they could exert control or influence in a chaotic world.

I thought a lot about the meaning of magic as I browsed the shops selling witchy paraphernalia, endless kinds of oracle cards, stones, candles, brooms and little bags of herbs.

Being in Salem made me realised how things have changed, now we can openly proclaim ourselves as witches and buy all this magical gadgets but back in 1962 we would’ve get hanged by acting differently or using natural medicine as remedies.

But not much has changed… nowadays other beliefs puts us at risk, defending nature or human rights can gets us into trials. The story of the bad and the good keeps threatening the freedom of doing.

Most of the women killed in Salem didn’t proclaim themselves as witches but their behaviour being different made them to be considered as one.

I like the definition of magic that my dear teacher Sharon Gannon gives 🪄 magic is a shift in perception ✨ this definition invites to question the way we look at things, the reflection of our deeds and thoughts.

Over 25 innocent people died in Salem during the witch trials, most of them were hanged, burning alive didn’t happen here.

🔥✨🪄I made these set of embroideries to remind me that magic lives within and the embers will spark as we tuned in to our hearts and intuition 🪄✨🔥

That was a BIG adventure! 🚐 Travelled to Seven Sister with Krishna van full of excitement and clothes to debut at 🌸🎪

My heart is full of gratitude for being able to take my art to another festival that celebrates womanhood and the feminine energy! Which is so powerful and inspiring ❤️‍🔥

As soon as I landed in Taungurung country my heart softened and the guards came down as the earth welcomed me and all women into a safe space 🙏
It’s hard to explain in words the feeling of being there!

But is freeing to spend time with other women who are interested in supporting each other and making you feel welcome expressing yourself exactly as you are!

Thank you to for having me 🙏 and facilitating a space for magic and healing.

Thank you to all women who visited our stall and took a piece of Yonitown home 🙏 your purchases encourage me to keep bringing to life my creative ideas.

And I thanks to my life force for bringing the courage to do what is a bit scary but feels right in every cell of my body!

Thank you 🙏

This weekend we are gathering in Taungurung Country with a village of around 2000 women!!

The preparations for are over!! I am on the road driving in a full van, bringing new designs and the old favourites 😃✨

My heart is pumped ♥️ I planned this ok most a year ago when I needed a goal to work towards! I can’t wait to see how Yonitown is received by the Seven Sisters community!!

I still have 5 hrs drive to get there! So I will pump the beats and have my eyes on the road ✌🏽😉👯‍♀️

Yonitown’s studio is hOMe 💙 I came back to Sydney five weeks ago to spend most of my days here, amongst all the tools and gadgets to bring alive my creative ideas 🫟 it gets really messy sometimes!

It’s my safe place and the space I miss the most when I’m away for my other job (installing public art around the world)

The aim was to bring alive as many ideas and design possible in this short period - I am heading back to my motherland Chile in two weeks! BUT before I go, Yonitown is going to 💗🌸👏🏽
The oldest woman festival in Australia!!! I am super ready to meet a new sisterhood 👯‍♀️✨ swim in the river naked, move slow, soak up the breeze, go to sleep when the sun sets and get to meet other women !!!

Are you coming??

Lots of bright colours and flowery pattern on the making 🌸🌻🪻🌺

Cutting womb hugger’s pieces, stitching wrap skirts, keeping the altar fresh, using crystal and stones to weight down the pattern pieces, it all feels meaningful and intentional 🫶

Last weekend I landed in Darung country to celebrate sisterhood at

Lately my life has been all over the continents, which involves lots of time spend in the air and leaving out of a suitcase. It was a treat to be able to spend all weekend barefoot, connecting to land and listening to birds - I saw some cute Fairy Wren 💙

As soon as I got there I felt safe, its some spacial vibe when surrender by women only - I can be myself, relax into my body, let the boundaries soften and connect with inspiring women following their path.

During the festival I participated in a workshop called Dismantling Internalised Patriarchy, which reminded me of keeping my judgment in check:

Competing against other women keeps us separated. The wound of sisterhood must be healed, its patriarchy who wants us separated. Women together are strong and powerful ❤️

And as I integrate into the world, I gather inspiration to work strategically to create more art, be authentic and invest my time and money in .guru
Here is my safe place to express my creativity ❤️

The count down is ON! We are going to the oldest women festival in Australia at the end of March!!

🙏✨ stay shinning

It’s hard not to pick up some gems along the trail! Overtime my collection of stones has been growing. Some came from far away places to transform into altar pieces 🤍

Today the rocks were used for weighting down the sampling fabric for the new style! Less coverage, still super comfy 👯‍♀️

It’s been a hot minute! ⌛️

I don’t even know where to start, I spent three months away from the studio. Not yet ready to come back, I decided to come to vote for the next Chilean president. Yes! my electoral address is in Sydney. With my heart full of hope I hopped on a plane for 25 hours to choose a women president for Chile.

Once I landed at the Yonitown studio, the first thing I did was to lie the orchid jersey fabric I got in Stuttgart 😍🍃 The flowers and leaves printed on the fabric were to brighten the scary results of the elections and the uneasy atmosphere after the Bondi shooting.

The Studio, where the threads, inks and squeegees are, it is the space where I come back to materialise my creativity and feel safe.

In the spirit of peace, I pray for humanity, for seeing the goodness in others, for being kind and respectful to each other, even if our convictions and traumas are different.
And most importantly, become aware of my privileges, so I can stay humble 🙏

Peace and Veggies. I wish you have a meaningful festive season 🤍

It’s World Vegan Day today and this month I also celebrate my veganiversary 😂 I lost count but I know that it’s been over 10 years being plant powered 🎉 and guess what? I haven’t died for lack of protein or any other sort of vitamins or minerals deficiency, yay!

Honestly is easy to stay away from an industry that pollutes and kills millions of animals every minute for feeding the disconnection we have with the food we eat.

If you believe animals are adorable creatures, you should be vegan. If you love Mother Nature, you should go vegan.

Society makes us believe that animals exists for us but they do not. Little birds and gigantic whales migrate to find their own natural habitat. Cows don’t produce milk for our latte, they do it to feed their calves.

Next time you have the option to pick what you eat, choose compassion 🤍 Meat is the flesh of an animal that didn’t want to die. It’s easy to not swallow the suffering and fear of another being.

Go vegan. Stay vegan 🌱 ✌🏽
