Luz de la Riva

Woman, Mother, Activist, Artist, Lover. . .

The woman gives me permission to create, to give, and to share; to explore my sexuality and to please myself and my partner.

The mother strives to create socially conscious offspring and to improve the world that they will inherit.

The activist cares about orphans of AIDS, women stricken by the hands of others, and un-nurtured geniuses starving for teachers.

The artist sees the beauty in the objects that surround me and their influence in the way I dress my body, adorn my feet, and paint my lips.

The lover enjoys giving and receiving pleasure with my partner, playing with each other’s senses, discovering new ways to enhance our lovemaking; whether with a finger’s touch, using sensual oils, or with a magnificent object of pleasure.

For the reasons above that make me who I am and my dedication to share with others the joy of being one’s self, I have created a place where women are allowed and encouraged to explore their beauty and sexuality without feeling guilt or regret; and indeed, it would be regretful to let life go by without discovering the wealth of pleasure that lies within us.

“Sexuality is a component of good health, inspiring creation and is part of the road to the soul…Unfortunately it took me thirty years to discover it.” Isabel Allende
