Our next local event with Yoga Pommier will be a really beautiful day spent refreshing the mind and invigorating the body - shaking off this cold dark winter 🥰

A mix of flowing yoga with Kate, meditation, journaling for the season ahead and a truly relaxing sound bath where I will play our gorgeous gongs and crystal bowls whilst you’re all wrapped up and cocooned, cosy and warm! Plenty of time to relax with some lovely like-minded people.

Of course there will be a super tasty and fresh two course lunch featuring all the best local produce of early spring! Completely plant based and gluten free diets can be catered to as well - even the cake!!

So get in touch if you’d like to book or have any questions - either DM or email chrysalisyogabristol@gmail.com. There is a €25 deposit needed to secure your place!

No previous experience required, all equipment is provided - plus a goody bag!

In a mad flurry of messages and emails last night, we completely sold out for our next cooking workshop! Thank you so much to everyone for your support - it’s going to be so much fun!

If there are enough other people interested, I could be persuaded to hold another workshop on Tuesday 3rd March which is actually the last day of Chinese New Year celebrations 🥰 direct message me or email thatveganchef@outlook.com to go on a waitlist for Tuesday 3rd March 14h00-20h00 💕

Our next plant based cooking workshop will be celebrating Chinese New Year with some of my favourite delicious, traditional Chinese dishes 🤤

I will be showing you how to make fresh tofu, various sumptuous sauces and vibrant main dishes and you will be getting stuck in hand making; dumplings, filled bao, crispy spring onion pancakes and hand-pulled noodles! It’s going to be a really delicious day!

We will start at midday Sunday 1st March and settle in with a homemade non-alcoholic welcome drink before getting started learning and creating together! There will be a short snack break in the middle and we will end the session with a nice early dinner so there’s plenty of time to digest before the day is done!

Included in the price is all tuition, recipes created lovingly by me, a welcome drink, teas and coffees, a mid-session snack, dinner and you are welcome to take leftovers home with you (if there’s any left!!).

We operate on a bring your own booze policy so if you would like to drink please feel free to - although we ask that you are safe and responsible if driving! 🥰

We love these workshops so much and have met so many lovely people throughout the classes - get in touch for more information and to book. We can’t wait to see you here!

It’s snowing again!!!!! I absolutely love the snow, it’s like actual MAGIC just falling from the sky 🥰

It creates such a stillness and quiet that we rarely get in everyday life. I feel like it nature telling us to bunker down, hibernate and rest - as that is what this time is really for. I’ve really begun to hate ‘new year, new me’ messaging, you are already a great you and the pressure to change everything about you overnight is actually just gonna make you feel like s**t.

So yeah maybe I had intended to post a bit more on socials but it is so bloody cold I’m probably just gonna get some more firewood, have another cup of tea and read with a cat or two on my lap 😸

So rest if you need rest, stay warm and do something you love with someone you love 💕

Merry Christmas from all of us here at HeartSpace House 🥰🥰🥰
Safe to say, neither of the cats enjoyed being photographed 😂 we had a light smattering of snow last night too, what a treat!! ⛄️

Hope everyone has a fantastic few days off with loved ones, some good food and a lot of laughs! 💕

Lots of lovely little festive treats I’ve been making and gifting to people over the last couple of weeks 🥰

Hope everyone is well! Remember that this time of year can be stressful - but that’s not what it’s supposed to be about! Look after yourself and know that rest is so important, don’t burn yourself out!

Enjoy your this festive time, eat and be merry! 💕

I’ve finally gone and had myself a bit of an admin day (I’d honestly rather be out cutting wood or digging holes 😂) and updated all the retreats we have happening here in 2026!

So if you’ve been wanting to get your butt over to the middle of nowhere in France to relax, enjoy some delightful vegan food by me and meet some amazing people - pop over to our website, have a read through of what’s on offer and get in touch with the facilitator! I’ve provided links to websites and email addresses where possible 🥰

Flights with Ryanair are now available to book for all dates. Some retreats are already sold out so DON’T WAIT! 💕

It’s easy for us to not realise how much we’ve accomplished in our lives. It’s easy for us to think every time we’ve chosen rest over extra work that we’re ‘lazy’. It’s easy to swat away compliments from even our closest people.

But wouldn’t it be nice if we could acknowledge ourselves and our lives? The good, the neutral and the bad? Be proud of just BEING every day - because that’s the whole point in life, just BEING.

Anyway, that’s all a really roundabout way for me to say that I’m super proud of everything we’ve done here at HeartSpace House so far 🥰 we’ve officially been here in France for two years (how did that happen?!) and though some days have been less than ‘productive’, they’ve all been a blessing 💕

The first photo is the outside of our yoga barn today, in the low autumn sun, oranges leaves on the ground (it’s important for the ecosystem NOT to remove foliage), the pergola built and the door painted white with lovely little hand painted vines and leaves done by my mum and me on a summer day 🥰

The second photo is from last September, the deck is built, wall painted white and the hot tub is in! The last photo is from when we first moved in - no deck, the old pergola is still up and we’re just finding our feet!

Maybe it doesn’t look like much and some days I forget all the hard work that’s gone into just this portion of our space but today I am choosing to acknowledge and be proud of us.

We are always improving the house and gardens for YOU! We’re nearly full for 2026 bookings but opening 2027 calendar very soon - get in touch by email at thatveganchef@outlook.com 💕
