Finding Venus is a Body Positive documentary currently in production directed by Mandi Lynn and her all female film crew and production team. It is about the art of protecting girl power and reviving it in ourselves. It is a movie by Kiwi mothers and daughters for the world's mothers and daughters.
Generation Mojo Workshops
Body Positive workshops targeted at Mothers and Tween and Teen age daughters.
Imagine a world where our daughters made it out of adolescence more powerful and more body confident than when they entered it. How much easier would adulting be then? No energy wasted worrying about thigh gaps and instead all energy could be channeled bringing our most beautiful gifts into the world.
These workshops are designed to give our daughters tools to learn to treat their bodies as their best friends. To turn down the internal critical voices and instead turn up the beautiful supportive empathetic creative ones.

The Luscious Order of Golden Shieldmaidens
Over 300 women have stepped forward to become part of Mandi Lynn's award winning photographic exhibition called "Every Body is a Treasure" Women are covered in golden clay and then photographed as the treasures that they are. It is a counterpoint to the 400-600 photoshopped images we see each day. It is an emotional journey to become a shield maiden and those that step up to the challenge have sworn to pay it forward to help create a world where Generation Mojo is a reality for our daughters and grand daughters.
I just want to do it all again next weekend…
What an amazing day/night, shared with beautiful women of all ages. I was unsure of what to expect leading up to it, but the whole experience was just so awesome I just want to do it all again next weekend. There were a few tears at times, lots of laughs and fun and honesty and bravery from women and girls from all walks of life. The golden shoot at the end was the icing on the cake. Thank you Mandi Lynn and your team - you’re doing such great work �
Our mother daughter conversations have shifted…
"Sharing uninterrupted space with my daughter was such a wonderful gift ... and to do so with this emerging tribe of Finding Venus women was beautiful and unique. My busyness really got challenged and what’s most important got highlighted.
Grace and I will remember the weekend spent with Mandi for a lifetime ... our conversations have shifted to a much more loving and full of awe space about our bodies ... we laughed HARD ... and we feel like we were gifted the opportunity to be part of something really special.
Women .... just say yes ... show up and see where it takes you ... you won’t regret it!"
A deep exercise…
It was so inspiring and delicious to be amongst such a variety of women from all walks of life, in all shapes and sizes, many with their daughters present (from tweens - teens) which was just a joy to see - these young women absolutely soaking up these rich and powerful messages from all of the activities we got to do. It was a day full of laughter and some tears, lots of sharing and plenty of boobs as the women who chose to stay for the evening segment partook in a photoshoot covered in glistening golden clay after a deep exercise in which we had the opportunity to heal from negative words and wounds we have carried about our bodies and self image. It was... magical. Thank you Mandi Lynn for an amazing experience!
