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 had no idea what to expect…
To be honest I had no idea what to expect when I took my daughters to the photo shoot and workshops for Finding Venus, but I’m so glad I did. To share this day with my daughters and so many other amazing girls and women was actually quite moving. The message of respecting others and loving yourself is just such an important one. My girls felt safe to get involved, express themselves, share their feelings honestly and just have fun together. Thank you Madi Lynn. �

"I felt so comfortable and welcomed with Mandi. We had so much fun during the shoot - laughing the whole day. I'd never done anything like it but finished the day feeling so confident, beautiful and inspired. I can't wait to get my prints! Mandi is such a warm person, and an absolute genius behind the camera. Her vision, talent and creativity with her photography is magical. Thank you Mandi and Craig for an incredible day"
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!"
