This is your invitation to join my free, monthly integration circle this evening.

Integration is the process of reflecting on and incorporating insights from our experience into everyday life.This can be through meaning making, ritual, expression, somatic awareness and through sharing, or being witnessed, in a safely held and supportive space.

In February, the themes and ideas that you may have come into contact with might include renewal, the process of starting to connect with the closing of one season and the arrival of another, and themes of love that feel present for good or for ill as Valentines Day arrived.

Whether or not you’ve connected with these themes or not, whether you’ve explored my offerings or not, you’re very warmly invited to join us. Come as you are, connect with yourself and community and create a little pocket of presence to explore where you are, right now, as we prepare to step into a new month and a new season.

This month’s integration circle will be taking place this evening at 7pm, on zoom via my Patron. Link in bio. This is the first circle in this format, in this online space, so I’m offering it at no charge and you’re very warmly invited to join us.

Thinking about what we can add, rather than trying to build a routine

One of the things I love about my work is the community that I've connected through because of it.

I’ve met some wonderful people who are doing magical things and Lorna Rose is one of them, so I wanted to share details of her new book: ‘Hearth-A Tale of Hestia and Dionysus’.

It also aligns beautifully with some my own work in this space, which explores archetypes, mythology and folklore.

In Lorna’s words, Hearth is a tale of a forgotten goddess and a notorious god. She is the modest and dutiful goddess of the hearth, the firstborn goddess of the pantheon and weary witness to her family’s selfish antics. He is a mysterious and rebellious new god who has come to claim his birthright and remind the inhabitants of Olympus that they forged their world in chaos, blood and sacrifice. When they meet, they irrevocably change the course of each other’s fates
forever.

Hearth’ asks why Hestia, the pantheons most forgettable goddess, dared to find Olympus wanting and left it forever, and if the epitome of the Dionysian spirit, Jim Morrison, lead singer of psychedelic Sixties band The Doors, really was the wild god of ecstatic revelry that he channelled on stage. This is a poetic exploration of desire and the lot of immortality, that moves between Seventies Paris and Ancient Olympus and the lives of two immortals who for all their differences, are intimately entangled.

My copy is winging its way to me as I write this and I am excited to explore the archetypal energies of Dionysus and Jim Morrison through Lorna’s words.

Check out and her work.

Happy Lunar New Year.
We’re probably all most familiar with Chinese New Year, but the beginning of a new lunar year is celebrated across cultures. As well as Chinese New Year, the turning of the lunar calendar is honoured in the Islamic calendar, the Hebrew calendar, and by communities across Asia.

In the UK we might be marking Luna Imbolc, or even Shrove Tuesday. What all of these festivals and celebrations have in common is intention. The intention to pause at the threshold of a new season, to take stock of what has been, to make literal and metaphorical space in our homes and our lives and to step forward, with care, into the energy of a new season.

In my Patreon community this month we’ve been exploring the themes of emergence, love and The Lover archetype. In this month’s online circle, on the 26th Feb at 7pm, we’ll be exploring the integration of these themes as the month draws to a close.

This is the first circle in this space and as such it will be free for all members, whether you’re on a paid or free membership, as an opportunity to get a sense of what this space might feel like and whether it resonates for you. You’re very warmly invited to step into this space. You can sign up to my Patreon via the link in my bio.

Integration is the process of bringing together our thoughts, emotions and embodied experience so that understanding can become a lived experience. This happens through conscious awareness, reflection and intentional practices, including somatic embodiment, therapeutic-processing and gentle interpretation to help bring our inner experiences into balance.

What this will look like:

* Exploring this month’s themes through somatic and meditation practice, spiritual perspectives, psychology and folklore
* Connecting with community in a confidential, grounded and gently held space
* Coming as you are to spend time being present, while being safely supported 
This space is neurodivergence affirming, LGBTQ+ inclusive and open to anyone who feels called to step into a heart-led space to integrate this month’s experiences and energies.

Happy Valentines Day. The over culture or mainstream culture has a very specific idea of what Valentine's Day should be but when our connection to love is difficult we might want to reject the idea of Valentine's Day completely. This is an invitation to think about what you might reclaim and what care you could offer yourself.

In Tennyson’s The Lady of Shalott, Elaine of Astolat embodies the lover archetype in its shadow: desire that overwhelms, boundaries that dissolve, and the ache of giving without reciprocation. But The Lover archetype isn’t only shadow. It also holds light, the capacity for joy, creativity and connection. By looking at love through this lens, and drawing on bell hooks’s perspective that love is an active, chosen practice, we’ll explore how love and care, both for ourselves and others, can become an embodied and intentional practice. This audio-guided practice weaves together somatic meditation, bodily awareness and archetypal exploration through mythology and psychology. From The Lady of Shalott to bell hooks, journey from love as enchantment and self-loss into love as a creative, courageous and conscious practice.

This time of year can feel loud with instructions about love; how to find it, keep it, perform it, prove it. Romantic love is everywhere in February, and yet so many of us feel depleted by it: emptied through over-giving, through self-abandonment, or through long stretches of absence and longing. What happens when we reclaim love? Through connection to nature and the land where we can hold space for intentional reciprocity and the idea that care is multi-directional, flowing between individuals, community, nature and the Earth. Through the Lover archetype’s light and dark aspects, which invite us to balance devotion and discernment together, deepening our capacity for intimacy without losing ourselves. As we moves through this in-between season, how can we reclaim love as a practice that sustains us and how can we offer love as a practice that sustains community and the Earth?

What if... a simple way to initiate a task is hen initiation feels impossible

February often comes with a bombardment of messages about love; how to hold it, perform it, prove it. But what if we can reclaim love as something lived and practiced, towards ourselves, others and towards the land. Drawing on bell hooks’ teachings around love as “an act of will; both an intention and an action,” this session invites you to explore love beyond romance: as care that moves against fear, separation, and depletion.

Through somatic practices, nature-connection, earth-based spirituality and community connection, we’ll explore our relationship with love, invoking the Lover archetype in both its light and shadow, balancing devotion and discernment.

Join me to explore how care flows between self, community, nature, and the Earth, and what it means to offer something back.
