The Projects |
At the projects depth, it holds at its heart that all life is sacred. That respect and relating to fellow human beings with consciousness, consideration and love is nourishing to the soul and is basic sensibility. Each thought and action has a ripple affect. The way I relate to myself and the way I treat myself when no-one is looking, how I perceive myself and reality ripples out into the world. Knowing this, honesty and self-awareness is imperative, and also respect of the human aspect of existence. The Projects are about supporting people in reclaiming their spirit, their true self and inner beauty beyond the story - knowing that they are not "damaged" beyond repair - that their presence is a pure gift.

The Projects were formed for survivors to share their stories through creative means. Through the journey of transformational transparency - a crucial aspect and moments of awakening - profound healing can be experienced. Transformational transparency is about seeing into one's true nature beyond the story.
The Projects encourage self-discovery and insight into one's true nature through creativity. The creator, Laura Naomi has encountered and witnessed transformative moments of self-awareness (sometimes linked with self-initiation) on her spiritual path. The essence of the projects are about shifting difficult life experiences into beauty, presence and empowerment. |

A Note from the Founder |
W a k i n g u p t o A w a r e n e s s
The awakened moment surfaced for me, not because I'd made a decision to become aware, it appeared through an intervention. It was not an intervention through human means, it was a spiritual intervention. The weight I'd been carrying had become too heavy, there was nothing left to do other than to let go. Nor did this awakening come from someone saving me. I can only describe it as a deeply spiritual experience, where something inside me woke up from a numbness. As I surrendered, I found my heart immensely heavy and my soul very tired. This moment of awakening both broke my heart and was also one of the most powerful moments in this life. I realized that I had had no self worth and believed somewhere inside that abuse was normal. It was not rational, none of it made any sense. I felt like I'd been on a stage, acting out a part, watching myself from afar. This shift in reality began an incredible journey of self-discovery. Although ultimately it had come down to the shift within me, I had many beautiful souls holding me through this delicate time. It is easy to return to the abuse. If it is all one knows. What increases harm and devastation is the unspoken agreement to remain silent. The deep shame eats away at the spirit like an invisible cancer. Finding my voice came naturally after several awakened moments. I needed to voice what I'd experienced, more for myself than anything, to break out of a world of unconsciousness that was created by fear, oppression and denial. There have been many stages of 'coming out'; to me, each is important. The aspects that have resonated the deepest have been when I truly feel heard and received by others, when I give myself permission to say 'No' and not having to explain why, and when I remember who I am, knowing that I am not those human experiences.
