Okami game is on Steam - I really recommend this brush-stroke based game based on the adventures of the Japanese Sun Goddess Amaterasu! It's such a great game for all ages and at the same time is intimacy and 'normal life' positive, its explores myth, Japanese culture and the life of rural people. Even has ecology and fighting for good at it's root!…

As Companions we may often find ourselves on planets or experiencing cultures... Even as we are disorientated, diplomacy will be at the top of our goals in order to establish the best for both ourselves and others (possibly our potential clients or their friends). It's not an easy path taking our first steps in this ((but also a really interesting perspective and path for roleplay and establishing our character)).

I discovered this Manga which could be fun to read to pass the time and…

I know that some of our members are surviors of abuse and I found a good online course and advice for those who have. I is hard opening your heart when past relationships have been bad or even abusive.. I want to praise people who are able to continue to do self development whilst carrying such wounds. Clients too can have suffered in these ways so awareness and kindness to the self can spread for everyone's benefit xx…

Marcela is attending the funeral of a man who died of lovesickness for her.. having found his love to be unrequited...

"I come not, Ambrosia for any of the purposes thou hast named," replied Marcela, "but to defend myself and to prove how unreasonable are all those who blame me for their sorrow and for Chrysostom's death; and therefore I ask all of you that are here to give me your attention, for will not take much time or many words to bring the truth home to persons of…

An outreach project of Xiaojie Companion House (though we are open to having Feminist Shrines throughout Second Life where they would be requested and helpful).. the Feminist Shrine has been established for about 6 months now. We have been celebrating some amazing women and their contributions to Second Life!

The current lady being celebrated is Strawberry Singh; a blogger, media activist, SL fashion enthusiast and teacher. Her relationship with Second Life is continually evolving and…

As I know that it is of great benefit to others to hear about the journey of one's particular self I have decided to apply myself, between my other duties, to writing a High Priestess's blog. It will mostly be IC and I will try to write one a month. I hope others will be encouraged to give it a try who have not as yet :)

It had been a good two years or so since we left Dakini Land, an island of Paquin which we had moved to from Sihnon a long time ago. We had been given special…

Choosing to live a life of love historically has always been hard for the female sex. All simple choices involved ownership by one man or another... or perhaps celibacy through being embraced by a Convent of various religions.

As anyone can attest to... love is often far from simple and straightforward.. to learn it well is a little like learning the subtleties of an instrument. No wonder women who learned to steer such a course in their lives were often labelled as…

Waiting for shuttle to arrive..... It was a sunny day on Paquin at the Spirit Bath House where we awaited the shuttle to take us on a week long tour through space. We had our bags packed and were ready to face whatever can come out of a journey during which we would visit miriad planets with a exceedingly different atmosphere on each. How can we not discover ourselves without…

Imagine a woman who is interested in her own life.

A woman who embraces her life as teacher, healer, and challenge.

Who is grateful for the ordinary moments of beauty and grace.

Imagine a woman who participates in her own life.

A woman who meets each challenge with creativity.

Who takes action on her own behalf with clarity and strength.

Imagine a woman who has crafted a fully-formed solitude.

A woman who is available to herself.

Who chooses…

About the two types of Sci-Fi Fiction/Roleplay.

It seems to me there are two main types... them that believe in Earth and them that don't - am I wrong?

Any series, film or book that explores a Universe that don't include Earth can be a harder and more technical place to be imaginative in - their Flora, Fauna, Culture, Communities will be made up of things that we most possibly would have to learn from scratch in order to 'fit' in and understand properly (unless we were able to…
