Story about connection, confidence and community
Embracing The Unknown
In the cozy corner of Galicia, Spain, the quaint village of Anceu became the stage for the inspiring tales of 16 unique women.
The Break Fellowship project was an ode to collaboration, self-discovery, and, above all, the incredible journey of
...
letting
go.
The rolling hills
and wide green landscapes
...
were the setting for these enthusiastic entrepreneurs
who left their homes, from the rustic charm of Puglia to
the bustling streets of London, to gather in this peaceful Spanish retreat.
They gathered with a shared mission: to rise personally
and professionally, overcoming their apprehensions,
...
fears,
and boundaries.
Guiding Lights in Anceu Coliving
From sunlit patios to cozy indoor nooks, every corner witnessed tales of struggles, successes, dreams, and aspirations.
Each mentor, with their unique experiences, brought a fresh perspective, challenging the fellows to think bigger, dream larger, and aim higher.
In this nurturing environment, the women didn't just find guides in these mentors but also allies and cheerleaders, all thanks to the
...
magic of
Anceu coliving.
Moments of Connection
Life in Anceu coliving wasn't just a venue.
It became a part of their narrative, the backdrop to stories of growth and belonging.
The taste of hummus, the laughter by the pool, morning sessions, evenings spent cooking dinner, forest masterminds, shared meals – all sang the same melody:
...
life is about
connection.
THE GALICIAN
FAREWELL
As the fellowship drew to a close, the women, enriched with new insights, bonds, and memories, set forth to their respective worlds.
They left with more than just lessons; they left with shared moments of magic from Anceu.
This website invites you to a visual journey through these moments, highlighting the indomitable spirit of every woman who embraced the Break Fellowship
(Anceu, summer ‘23).
Let me find your story
and tell it in pictures instead of words
For the photographer behind the lens, these photo sessions were a mission: to ensure that each entrepreneur could see herself as the world saw her -
a force of nature.
Spotlight
A Photographer's Perspective
These 1:1 photo sessions were more than just clicks and flashes; they were intimate conversations, moments of vulnerability and strength.
Every photograph is a testament to the confidence and determination of these entrepreneurs.
Through this project, I hope each one finds that image, that moment of pride, reminding them of their limitless potential.
