Bountiful 2025,

You have been a journey of tenacity, to say the least. Thank you for allowing me to experience your peaks and valleys, and for solidifying the importance of self-connection. I’m grateful you have witnessed an ageing and a wisdom that could only come from the experiences you presented.

Admittedly, you’ve left me tender and looking over my shoulder for the next heart-wrenching change but with this, I’ve come to meditate every day on impermanence. This is what now initiates my days; fear has transformed into a feeling of devotion.

You have continued to support me, honouring my natural pace and leaving me yearning for a more analogue way of life. You’ve taught me to love in new ways…myself and others. You’ve highlighted my love for stories, both real and imagined. I’ve expanded and contracted; thank you for holding space for it all…….

To continue reading head to your inbox. Decembers monthly letter is landing there right now. A love letter to the year that has been.

In praise of Rest.

Thank you to all who joined Prue yesterday for our last Restorative Retreat for the year.

Every detail considered and intentionally created to support deep nourishment of mind, body and spirit.

We look forward to holding more of these opportunities for deep rest throughout 2026.

May these practices be gentle reminders of your true nature ✨

Studio cleaned and prepared to welcome students for an afternoon of quiet.

I pulled a card prior to the Silent Meditation class today that, as always was so apt - practice.

That is exactly what brings us together in this space. Sitting in silence is a practice. Slowing down is a practice. No matter what arises, or what experience is had, remember it’s all part of the practice.

A practice that continues to guide us inward so that then we can channel outwardly.

As you may often hear me say, “in order for us to move forward first we must learn to be still”.

In my eyes, choosing stillness in a world that promotes distraction is a bare act of courage.

Thank you to all who joined me today.

I intended to hold these continuously throughout 2026 as a place and opportunity to ground ourselves in silence and begin again.

The message today I received from the “pot of wisdom” ( and yes I also like to dip my hand into this glorious bowl of insights and reflection each day ,as I encourage you to do)

“Choose what nourishes your soul, not just what fills space and time”.

I choose this 😍

::: NEW EVENT :::

Join Ourania for this meditation practice, welcoming stillness and silence.

This fully seated will offer a quiet space to be in uninterrupted meditation with others.

Designed for those with an established meditation practice, the session will be held in complete silence without verbal guidance or instruction.

Meditating in silence together weaves an unseen thread of presence and support, holding you deeper within the practice.

Please note: This class is not suitable for beginners and is intended for students who are confident meditating without external guidance.

This is also a wonderful addition to those who have previously attended the Japa meditation practice and are encouraged to bring their mala beads.

For more information or to book please head to the events page of our website.

It is a kind of love is it not? The way the cup holds the tea…

Thank you to everyone who joined in ceremony yesterday which was inspired by this very writing by Pat Schneider

The potent reflections are still being felt. What a blessing it is each and every time we get to sit together in patience and presence. What magical qualities to cultivate as a human in this life.

The next Tea Ceremony will be welcoming in a new year, held Sunday Jan 18th 1:30pm (booked out) & 4pm (taking bookings). To book head to the events page of our website.

With love,

There has been a real theme within the walls of the studio this past month - Homecoming.

The Greek word for homecoming is nostos. It was used in mythological tales to describe the return of a hero after a long arduous journey full of adventure. This got me thinking of how very much that same definition symbolises life. We go out into the world to explore, adventure and experience but it’s important to return, to come home in this instance, to ourselves.

What is also interesting is that the word Nostalgia combines the Greek words Nostos (homecoming) and Algos (pain).

It seems there was always this understanding of the depth of what home can represent….the grounding, comfort and joy existing alongside the pain, yearning and loss.

Yesterday I had the blessing of serving multiple private tea ceremonies at the studio ✨ The day ended with a group sitting to which on arrival I acknowledged the level of magic that has to happen for 10 people to come together, already that feels special.

The circle opened up with introductions for friends to meet and intentions and well wishes shared. We then sat in silence, shared tea and enjoyed the spaciousness and potency of being present together.

I read a passage yesterday that shared peaceful silence is the same feeling as clear air entering a breathless chest, and I couldn’t agree more

I am so grateful for the opportunities to share practice in this way 🍃 Tea ceremony literally speaks more than words ever could.

May the quiet of tea linger in your heart always,

Ourania x
