Ash and Thistle Artistry Presents the “Love. You. Summit” at Shady Brook Acres

Napoleon, OH – Ash and Thistle Artistry is proud to announce the “Love. You. Summit,” a unique and empowering group photoshoot event taking place at Shady Brook Acres. This free event is designed to celebrate self-love, resilience, and the beauty of our individual journeys.

Participants will have the opportunity to paint their scars with gold and spend an hour in a comfortable and supportive environment. The photoshoot will capture participants in black bras and undies, allowing them to choose styles they are most comfortable with—whether it be lingerie or a more relaxed look.

The “Love. You. Summit” is more than just a photoshoot; it’s a celebration of self-acceptance and the strength that comes from embracing our imperfections. The event aims to create a community where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered.

Event Details:

Date: August 25th
Time: 6:30 pm

Ash and Thistle Artistry believes in the power of self-expression and the importance of recognizing the beauty in our scars. This event is a testament to that belief and a chance for participants to connect with others on a similar journey.

Join us at the “Love. You. Summit” and be part of an unforgettable experience that celebrates you. For more information and to RSVP, please contact Ash or get sign up to attend here https://book.usesession.com/s/nf31_rlJs
