Dear nygårdsanna, We have arrived at the Villa Buonvisi together with our co-creators, all are excited for the workshop to start. When we were walking in the city, we met this beautiful woman and her daughter, and we asked them if they would like to model for the workshop, we are all so excited to capture them in your clothes among the olive trees. Our participants are an interesting mix of people from different creative fields, a diverse group of dreamers that we get to share the week with. Our hopes are that everyone will feel a sense of community and togetherness in creativity, that they will leave the villa with fond memories. That they see this week together in Tuscany as a sanctuary that allows each one of them to become their own muse.We hope that the images we took together will fill you with inspiration, love from Linda and Malin in Tuscany.
Linda Eliasson and Malin Mörner moved separately in the enchanting world of wedding photography, where they each wove dreams through their own perspectives. As they welcomed their daughters around the same time (now 9 and 10 years old), they often found themselves awake in the middle of the night with their newborns. They became friends through correspondence until they finally met, on a tandem bike during a conference. Since they both had experienced generous mentorship and guidance from other women in their careers, they felt that they were ready to become the helping hands to others. Linking arms with each other makes us stronger. In the vacuum of the pandemic, Linda and Malin felt that creatives were longing for connection, leading them to launch their workshop together. They shared a vision to create a space where people could feel freedom and purpose in creativity, with the chance to grow in harmony among women who collaborate rather than compete. Like riding a tandem bike, taking turns being the steering part, allowing the co-driver a moment of rest.
