Today called for a Sunday Stroll through the magical Autumnal Eartham Woods with . We were blessed with beautiful weather, the sun on our faces, the quiet, the birds & crunch of twigs underneath our feet. We didn’t take the usual photos. We just walked with no map, guided by our intuition enjoying the peace, quiet and autumnal palette of the trees. We revisited the swing, chatted for an age.. and having told myself at 52 I was far too old to be jumping off…I did it anyway and thankfully landed on my feet. did however slip in sheep p**p and nearly ended up on her ass! We sat in the woods and forest bathed…and were presented with a spectacular light show as caught on camera. We wondered through the dark side of the woods where we were drawn to a lonesome tree quite magically lit up by the sun.

Nothing quite like ‘just being’ in and surrounded by trees 🌳

That’s the last of our walks for a while but what amazing walks they’ve been this year.

Once has fully recovered from her foot op…it’ll be operation South Downs way and maybe even some wild camping!

I was thrilled to be asked by Aloise Surfleet-Middleton to be on her podcast for her breakdown to breakthrough series.

This is a glimpse into how and why I shifted from full time advanced nurse practitioner / prescriber to holistic healer. I’ve had a very blessed life in many ways but it’s not always personally been an easy road. However I’m grateful for the dark times as it’s bought me tools, connection, love and acceptance. Healing is not linear, it happens layer by layer…the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that is you veer off your life soul purpose the universe has a way of putting you back on it…and not in the most gentle way!!

Whilst I’ve now found a happy balance between the two worlds I continue to shed, learn and evolve.

I would actually love to talk more about my experiences and recovery as I feel it’s super important to shine the light on anxiety and depression rather than it being shrouded in shame and guilt. It’s during these times people need more love, patience and understanding. They need space to be held, to feel safe and comfort…and to know that everything WILL be okay 🙏🏼✨

If you have 1/2 hour please head over to The Dharma Life Podcast on Spotify, YouTube or iTunes and take a listen. There is also an impressive collection of interesting podcasts to listen to in The Dharma Life Podcast.

New flyer. Going old school! With thanks to Sandra Rollison and Loraine Hall for your help getting the word out and getting steps in!
The algorithm sucks….very little reach, few likes or shares on posts these days. Makes it very hard for independent very small sole traders like me to market and get the word out. I have so much to share, to offer, to give.
Shares, likes, comments and reviews really help someone like me!
If you know anywhere I can display please do let me know!

✨ Preparation before our Cacao Ceremony ✨

Before gathering in ceremony on Saturday, and I began with 45 minutes of Tapas — one of the niyamas in yoga. Tapas means “discipline,” “inner fire,” or “devoted practice” — the way we purify and prepare body, mind, and spirit through intentional movement, breath, and awareness. 🔥

Tracy arrived early and together we prepared our morning cacao with love, sang mantra, meditated for 22:22 minutes, flowed through asana, and even shared a little spontaneous dance before a soft 5-minute savasana. 🌿💫

We do this to ground ourselves, to open our hearts, and to lovingly hold space — so that everyone who joins feels safe, seen, and supported.

When we tend to our own energy first, we can truly serve from a place of presence and authenticity.

🤎 Cacao, mantra, movement, meditation — all threads in the same tapestry of connection.

It was a truly magical event, one we will hold dearly, close to our hearts, together with our helpers and …and all the wonderful guests that joined us with open hearts in all their magnificence ♥️

We will be sharing more of our wonderful event over the next few days /weeks…stay tuned!

How do we make Cacao using Full Power Ceremonial grade Cacao….

Full Power Cacao uses Criollo cacao beans, specifically from the Sur del Lago region of Venezuela.

We use 40 - 50g for a ceremonial dose.
Much less for a daily morning / evening dose - 20g in the morning to maybe 8g before bed.

Our favourite and the most loved recipe is
Salted Caramel:

Cacao (dose depending on time)
Plant milk - we use organic gluten free oat milk
Dash of agave
1/2 teaspoon coconut sugar
Pinch of salt

Melt the cacao with a little milk, once it’s in a paste add more milk and other ingredients. Keep stirring it. Don’t let it boil.

Pour into your favourite mug. Hold to your heart. Thank Lady Cacao…connect with all the blessings in your life….and enjoy!
