Grateful to be landing from a incredibly powerful, intense and beautiful weekend documenting at MEDICINE - here are some of my selects from the last couple of days 🤍🦋

✨ Colibri Spirit Festival Dream Team ✨

It has been the greatest honour to produce, direct, and gather together the most extraordinary Dream Team I have ever had the privilege to work alongside. These are not only the most gifted cinematographers, photographers, FPV pilots, underwater cinematographers, and Super 8 magicians I know - they are dear friends, people I love like family.

As the Soulfocus Team, our intention runs deep.. we come to become the very essence of what is emerging, of what is transforming in each moment. We have been given the sacred responsibility of being storytellers - of documenting the wisdom, the impact, the nature, and the continuation of this living, breathing spirit that is Colibri Spirit Festival.

And here is the difference: when you create beside people who feel like family, the work stops being work. Every frame carries love. Every capture holds intention. Together we don’t just film a event - we immerse ourselves in its soul, and we let it move through us.

We are more than a team.
We are seers of spirits, and storytellers of its soul. 💫

My dearest sister Tuncin preparing herself fro the Yawanawa traditional games.

These games come from a deeper place - skills from the forest, turned into play over generations. But they’ve also become something else: a way people meet, relate, and connect. A kind of courting without saying it out loud.

The darting of fish, the patience of hunters, the quick reflexes needed to survive - all of these became the seeds of games. Elders say the spirit of the forest taught people through imitation: if you could play well, you could live well. Over generations, these practical skills softened into playful contests, but they never lost their deeper purpose.

But not all of it is serious - far from it. Many Yawanawa games double as courting rituals, where young men and women test not only strength or agility, but charm, wit, and presence. A game might begin as a simple challenge - who can run faster, who is the strongest, or aim more precisely - but beneath it is a gentle dance of attraction, of courting a potential new beloved.

So the Yawanawa games come from the forest, from necessity, from spirit - but they live on through joy. They are where skill meets storytelling, and where, sometimes, a simple game becomes the beginning of a love story.

Envision - a space of limitless expression, where synchronicity is the guiding light and were imagination has no bounds.

Choosing my favourite selects for this post was near-impossible. I am very grateful to be invited back for the 3rd time to capture an incredibly special and unique gathering - | Thank you for entrusting my eyes and intuition to capture the soul and essence of this special movement.

Pura Vida 🤍🦋

I have witnessed the tears falling, bodies shaking as old traumas are released, the wail of the wild woman returning home. I have seen what happens when all parts are welcomed back in - when her truth awakens, her vibrancy ignites, her voice rises, her sensuality reclaims its place. From this remembrance, a deeper love and acceptance for who she truly is emerges, in her full and radiant totality.

I am so excited to be returning to Costa Rica after two years, where I will be offering special empowerment shoots. These sessions include a pre-consultation, a guided meditation, and deeply held space as you move through any blockages - so you can be seen, felt, and captured in your fullest expression.

This year has pushed me beyond edges I knew I had, asking me to stretch into layers of grief and expansion I didn’t know existed. It has been one of the most challenging years I’ve known in a long time. And yet, in fully feeling what it means to be human, I felt a deep urgency - as if tomorrow may not be - to finally follow my childhood dream of underwater photography. In my own small way, to help protect the ocean, to amplify the voices that cannot speak, and to reconnect with the immense joy of my younger self — feeling free, safe, and at home beneath the water. It’s been the start of my biggest dream come true.. and I am truly proud of myself.

My wish for all of us in this next stage of reflections is that we find the courage to follow what truly lights us up. Life is fragile and fleeting, and tomorrow is never promised. So why not do those things you always dreamed of doing?

Oceans of love, Phoebe 🐋
