I’ve known Patti for over 10 years but it wasn’t until she participated in my first Bodysex workshop, 2 and a half years ago, that I really got to know her. I’d always admired her strength, sense of adventure, independence and “fully live life” attitude, but sitting beside her in the Bodysex circle I got to know and admire her vulnerable, soft, motherly side as well.

When I decided to turn the workshop into a retreat I knew that I’d need support from someone who felt – not only passionate about Bodysex – but who also brought different gifts to the retreat than I do. Patti seemed like an obvious choice and as I watched her greet women naked at the door with ease, lovingly prepare food, make sure that coffee and tea were always on and model taking time for herself when needed – I knew that I couldn’t imagine doing it again without her.

Patti has no children herself and yet mothers us all as if she’s been doing it her whole life. I know that it’s an effort for her to fly in from out of province 3 or 4 times a year to do this, but I’ve never once heard her complain. I’m grateful beyond words for all of the support she gives me both during the retreat and behind the scenes with planning.

Along with Betty and Carlin, Patti is like the earth beneath my feet – giving me grounding, support and love.

Thank you Patti for the gift that you are and for making the retreat space feel like HOME. You are the best S.C. a girl could ask for.

Much, much love (and orgasms!!!)
