About Me

I am an earth loving, goddess worshiping, feminine blossoming flower.The love of my life is my 5 year old son Shiva. He is my little Prince and has taught me what it means to love fully and unconditionally.My biggest passion is nurturing and continuing to cultivate and deepen my own connection with my inner divine feminine energy in order to help collectively raise divine feminine succulence on our planet. We now live in a very masculinized world and in my opinon this planet could use a good dose of feminine radiance to balance things out.I recently partnered up with two beautiful women who are very close to my heart, Debbie and Andrea, and we opened an aphrodisiac lounge called Shakti. At Shakti we honor and celebrate the divine feminine, sensuality, mother nature and the merging of sexuality with spirituality. Our lounge is located at 1340 Commercial Drive in Vancouver BC. We have an online shop at: http://www.shaktilounge.com and a myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/shaktilounge We offer aphrodisiac juices, pleasure treats, blissful elixirs, relaxing smoking blends, dreaming herbs, erotic massage oils, tantric lover packages, enchanting books and more. We also set up luscious pleasure booths at parties and events.Most evenings at Shakti we have soothing entertainment and offer a variety of live music, dj's, belly dancing and visual arts. If you are in the Commercial Drive area be sure to drop by and share some love...One of my favorite way of connecting with the goddess within is through dance. Dance is my form of yoga, or union. For me it is when I feel I am most connected with my core... with my essence. It is also one of the highest forms of ecstasy I am able to experience on this earthly realm. It brings me to a state of complete peace and ecstatic bliss. I have studied many different forms of dance since the age of 3, including ballet, tap, jazz, synchronized swimming, polynesian dancing and belly dancing. Presently I am studying rhajastani dance with my beautiful sacred dance teacher Namchi. We are forming a dance troop led by Namchi here in Vancouver. For more information, visit Namchi's gorgeous website: http://www.namchibazar.comOne of my soul's biggest drives is to contribute to the protection and preservation of our sacred planet. My spirit has always felt a divine connection with the earth. As a woman I feel I am part of her on a soul level. Ultimately, we are all a part of the earth and she is a part of us. There is no separation. As the famous Hopi saying goes, "The earth does not belong to us, we belong to the earth."I am presently working on a book documenting goddesses throughout history who have historical connections to the cannabis plant, which is one of my favorite flowering plants on the planet. I consider cannabis to be a sacrament and have complete reverence for her ancient and multi faceted uses and especially for her ability to connect one with one's higher self.This labour of love is a project I am doing in order to raise money for my legal defense fund for expenses I incurred while fighting extradition from Canada to the US due to my minor involvement in a legal medical cannabis garden in Los Angeles, California: Thank goddess that chapter of my life is now over. Phew! To read more about my adventures with the long arm of the US law, just visit my website: http://www.reneeboje.comI love to surround myself in and indulge in many forms of creative expression... fine art, music, dance, photography, poetry, writing, cooking, lovemaking... mmmm lovemaking...To sum up, I love life, evolving with it and taking time to honor and contribute to the magick that manifests all around us in every single moment on this beautiful Gaian planet... like the graceful, sensual opening of the night blooming white lotus flowers...The common denominator in everything that exists is Love...

My Interests

My son Shiva is my biggest interest.My other interests include: Helping to protect the natural birthright of humans to have access to all of the plants the earth has gifted us with, studying, writing about and exploring goddess history, learning as much as I can about the historical use of sacred & magikal plants, the occult, witchcraft & herbs in general, indulging in art and music of all kinds, contributing to the preservation of mother earth & dedicating myself to the furtherment of my own soul's evolutiion which I truly believe is connected to the evolution of all spirits on this planet presently enjoying a human experience and to the infinite evolution of life itself.
