PUSSY PALACE CLOSING PARTY & The continuation of Chloe Adriana events
Things in my personal and professional life are about to radically shift.
For the past four years I have grown a life, business and community right here in Melbourne, in the creative centre of my home, The Pussy Palace - Eltham.
This is why it came as a shock, even to me, when the winds of change started to whisper in my ear.
Whispering that it is time to leave my home, the place I have lived, loved and grown as a woman as a leader, for more than four years.
When change knocks on our door there is often a feeling of resistance.
Change is uncomfortable, unfamiliar, unknown.
It can feel unsafe to the parts of us that love security, I myself am a Cancerian - we are known to love the safety of home, the shell familiarity.
But the Pussy Palace has been more than a home.
It was during the long years of Covid, that I studied my VITA certification (sex, love relationship coaching) attending calls at wacky American time zones cuddled up with my cat in my bedroom.
It was in the Pussy Palace that I decided to start a business, here that I sprawled out my butcher's paper alongside my new entrepreneurial sisters and over endless cups of tea, and created all the programs and offerings I have ever run.
And it was right here that I began my monthly womens and non-binary circle. Originally called Radiant Rising, and later, THE Pussy Palace.
The Pussy Palace circles first started with my three best friends and one paying participant, Lily <3 I made $25 the first time I ran it.
Yet, deciding to commit to my vision I would run these circles almost every month, for four years, and soon not only did they sell out, oftentimes more sixers than imaginable would squeeze into this quaint living room travelling from all over Melbourne, even Victoria.
It was the popularity of the Pussy Palace, the glow on sisters' faces, the beginning of friendships and share houses that inspired me to start running retreats.
This place has been the mecca of all my creation.
The colour, warmth, pussy's and naked pictures on the walls, the colourful aesthetic, the big gumtree, the wildlife visitors, the firepit - all create an energetic pulse in this place.
A pulse that has held me and Amber through so much, has held friends, family and clients like a true womb.
The idea of leaving has filled me with grief and nostalgia and gratitude.
But it also filled me with fear.
Fear that if I leave this home, my business would no longer succeed.
If everything I’ve ever built has started here, does that mean it will all go away if I go?
My fear led me to try to ignore the whispers of change…
But it only grew louder.
And then…stuck between the desire to let go and the desire to stay where I know, the Universe stepped in to help.
Our landlady, and friend, arrived at our doorstep, and teary eyed she told us that the Pussy Palace would be going up for sale.
Then, that same week a sister in NSW asked me to house sit…
The date she needed me was the exact same date that we needed to depart the Pussy Palace.
Not only was I hearing a call, life was calling me to let go.
Calling me to trust, that even though this has been the most foundational, nourishing, loving place for me, for Amber, for Pussy Palace and all my clients and friends.
That leaving does not mean I lose what I have built…
It means that I am ready to build something new.
Watch - this - space. This Pussy Queen and her Pussy Palace may well be coming to you soon…
“may you have the wisdom to enter generously into your own unease
to discover the new direction your longing wants you to take.”
