#168 - Lizz Larouge & Guinevere Rhonwen: Love's Many Colors Life is a Festival

Today's episode is about love and all its messy colors. Guinevere Rhonwen & Lizz Larouge created the festival Colours of Love on the island d of Koh Phangan as their wedding celebration and continued it even as they were separating. 

In this episode, we explore how they embraced love while parting ways at the place of their union. We cover a wide range of topics, including the festival's nature, whether it could be dubbed a "big gay wedding," the influence of female leadership on festival culture, and the concept of celebrating separation. We also touch on cultural sensitivity and the complexities of hosting events in foreign cultures, as seen through Guinevere and Lizz’s experiences in Thailand. 

As founders of Colours of Love and the musical duo Wild Sirenda, Lizz and Guinevere share insights into the festival's upcoming iteration and their shared dreams. This episode is a testament to love's complexity. I hope it will help you embrace all the various shades of love in your own life.
