Dames du Paradis : Podcast from Paradise!
Why Dames du Paradis or the Ladies of Paradise?
In a nearby hamlet called ‘Paravis’, a vast ruin holds the secrets of a lost convent where many ‘dames’ or young noble ladies cloistered for safety in the violent and disruptive Middle Ages. Think of a commune for wayward girls from wealthy families.
Some years ago, on a meditative walk around the remains of the towering stone walls of Paravis, Tamsin and Kate were inspired to invite other creative women together for conversation, some tea—and cake, of course. Today, as they each continue their separate creative lives in quiet and thoughtful ways, these modern dames create a virtual community of spirits living separately yet together, bound by their invisible cloistered walls.
Who are we?
Tamsin Jardinier and Kate Hill are neighbors and friends and decided to share their conversations and cake with you from their cozy, charming French homes in Gascony.
