If there is one thing Di Petsa enjoys, it's a performance. Across the seasons we have witnessed allsorts, from passionate monologues performed on superimposed rocks, parades of women dancing across the Old Selfridges hotel, men holding flaming torches and dance routines symbolic of birth. We have often found ourselves immersed in Di Petsa's world. But now the designer is no longer limiting these experiences to a show space, but instead invites us to step into a mental space where mythology meets mindfulness. Enter Mother Persephone, a 7-minute meditation that blends ancient wisdom with modern serenity, guiding you into the realm of the goddess Persephone—a symbol of transformation, duality, and rebirth and the perfect evolution of her brand.
Persephone, daughter of the harvest and queen of the underworld, embodies a delicate balance between light and shadow, life and death. In Dimitra's meditation, these themes are not just stories but experiences, which, as attendees to her last few London Fashion Week shows can attest, an experience is an understatement. Narrated by Dimitra herself, the meditation guides you through a sensorial journey where the earth's richness, ripe fruits, and the sensuality of nature all come alive beneath your feet.
The meditation begins by grounding you in the pulse of the earth, awakening your senses and connecting you to Persephone’s divine feminine energy. As you move deeper into the practice, you are encouraged to embrace both the light and the dark within yourself—reflecting Persephone’s own story of descent into the underworld and her return to the earth's fertile plains.
The digital meditation is available upon purchase in MP4 format, allowing you to integrate this mythic moment into your daily life. Ready to take a breath? Place your order, and step into Persephone’s world.
