Ladylore School of Love, Luxury and Liberation
✨ About Ladylore
I’m Cynthia—also known as Ladylore.
I am an executive leader, pedagogue, and artist creating spaces for women of color and gender-expansive people of color to explore love, luxury, and liberation as embodied practices—not aspirations, not aesthetics, but ways of living in the body and in the world.
Ladylore: School of Love, Luxury & Liberation is a learning and gathering space devoted to becoming—to the slow, intimate process of remembering yourself, reclaiming your desires, and cultivating a sense of belonging that begins within. This is not about fixing yourself or performing wellness. It is about uncovering more of who you already are.
My work blends pedagogy, art, ritual, and cultural practice. I design experiences that integrate embodiment, storytelling, pleasure, and collective reflection—treating luxury not as excess or status, but as self-sovereignty, attentiveness, and care, and liberation not as theory, but as something we practice daily through choice, boundary, and presence.
Artistically, my practice is rooted in experimental theater, ritual performance, craft, spiritual arts and storytelling informed by Afro-Indigenous Caribbean cosmologies. Story, for me, is not just narrative—it is a method of becoming. Through telling, listening, witnessing, and re-shaping our stories, we uncover buried parts of ourselves and create space for new ways of living and loving to emerge.
Ladylore is for women of color who are ready to:
• Feel a deeper sense of belonging in their own bodies
• Explore love as a practice of self-trust and relational truth
• Reclaim luxury as rest, beauty, and intentional living
• Experience liberation through embodiment rather than ideology
• Use storytelling to uncover, integrate, and become more fully themselves
If you are longing for a space where you don’t have to explain yourself—where becoming is honored, and softness is strength—you belong here.

🌿 Sensory & Creative Practices
Learning in Ladylore is sensory, creative, and alive. We engage the body, the hands, the voice, and the senses as pathways to insight, pleasure, and self-trust. Our gatherings and practices may include:
• Craft & Handwork — intuitive making, altar pieces, collage, weaving, clay, and symbolic objects that carry personal meaning
• Song & Voice — humming, call-and-response, toning, and shared sound as grounding, release, and connection
• Movement & Embodiment — gentle movement, guided gestures, dance, and somatic exploration rooted in listening rather than performance
• Herblore & Plant Wisdom — working with herbs, teas, oils, and plant stories as tools for care, ritual, and remembrance
• Food & Sensual Nourishment — intentional eating, flavor, texture, and cooking as sites of pleasure, memory, and grounding
• Visual Art & Symbol-Making — drawing, painting, image-making, and visual storytelling to externalize inner knowing
These practices are not about mastery or productivity. They are invitations to slow down, feel more, and let the body lead. Making becomes a way of listening. Sensation becomes a source of wisdom.

🕯 How I Hold the Space
I hold this space as a guide, facilitator, and witness. Ladylore is not about hierarchy or performance. It is a space of shared inquiry, gentle structure, and intentional gathering. We move at the pace of trust. We honor boundaries, complexity, and lived experience. We make room for what is emerging.
