โœจ Happy Winter Solstice โœจ

We have spiralled to the darkest point of the year.โ€จA sacred pause in the cycle, when the sun sits at its lowest in the sky for three days โ€” a moment of stillness before the light begins its return.

The word solstice comes from the Latin solstitium, meaning โ€œsun standing still.โ€ A quiet threshold. An ending before a beginning.

After this dark point, the days will begin to lengthen. The sun slowly gathers strength, drawing us toward the Year of the Horse ๐Ÿด โ€” a year of momentum, drive and growth.โ€จ
But not yet.
โ€จNow is the time to soften. To rest. To embrace the heaviness and deep quiet of winter โ„๏ธ

Yesterday I travelled with my family to my happy place in Penpont, Wales โ€” dipping into the River Usk, warming in the sauna, getting lost in the maze, and marvelling at the ancient yews. This land holds me every time. It gently pulls us out of the everyday and reminds us how to slow, breathe, and reconnect.

Iโ€™m now taking a break until the New Year โ€” choosing presence, rest, and a slower rhythm. ๐ŸŒ‘

From a family funeral to festive fun โœจ

On Friday, we honoured the passing of a clan elder โ€” my uncle, the eldest of his generation. Only 79, which somehow doesnโ€™t feel old by todayโ€™s standards. We gathered wrapped in tartan, bound by kinship and a deep-rooted connection to the land in east Scotland. People travelled from far and wide to grieve together and to stand in honour of the clan.

I feel profoundly grateful for these bonds of kinship. Iโ€™m aware that not everyone has this โ€” the long shadows of feudalism have uprooted many from land, lineage, and belonging. At this dark time of year, when the bare bones of trees stand like skeletons across the landscape, nature reminds us that death is not an end but a vital phase in the lifeโ€“deathโ€“life cycle. A returning to the earth. A breaking down. The creation of fertile ground from which new life will rise again.

From funeral grief to festive fun. On Saturday night, I swapped mourning clothes for garish sequins and sparkles at the annual Feminist Book Club festive gathering. I joined FBC exactly a year ago, and it has brought so much joy, debate, and intellectual nourishment into my life.

Last night leaned into joy without losing its depth โ€” expressed through loud laughter, excessive giggles, and a word game layered with reflection.

I feel held by this circle, where expression and being seen and heard are not just welcomed but actively upheld. Where societyโ€™s bu****it โ€” especially that which fuels gender inequality and power imbalances โ€” is called out with humour, storytelling, and collective care. It feels like a vital form of resistance: small ripples, perhaps, but ripples that continue outward, shaped by those committed to creating positive change.

This afternoon, Iโ€™m looking forward to marking the Winter Solstice in circle during the Retreat and Restore session โ€” honouring the turning point of the year, where stillness, reflection, and the first quiet stirrings of return are held together.

A story always makes more sense in retrospect, but looking back I realise that Yoga Rewild evolved simply from listening to my heart ๐Ÿ’š

๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ: I had just finished my PhD, I was midway through my yoga teacher training, and we had recently moved to Bristol with our 2-year-old. I was doing part-time research assistance and planning toward a post-docโ€ฆ and then the pandemic hit.
Overnight, all work stopped and I found myself at home full-time with my toddler.

It was an uncertain, unsettling time. I was grateful my yoga course moved online, and I leaned deeply into practice โ€” spending as much time in the park as the lockdown allowed.

The park became my sanctuary ๐ŸŒฟ. Spring bloomed with such beauty, while the world faced the pandemic, climate crisis, and rapid biodiversity loss. It all felt too much to hold.

So instead of freezing in fear, I chose to do something โ€” anything โ€” positive. Even a small gesture felt like a way to give back.

That โ€œsomethingโ€ became ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฎ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ.

I could never have imagined the journey that has unfolded over the last five years.

It began simply with the intention of

But through birthing my second child and many spiritual experiences since, Yoga Rewild has continued to grow, evolve, and deepen in meaning.

I share this story in the hope it inspires anyone else hearing a quiet call from their heart to act ๐Ÿ’›โœจ
I am eternally ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.

To the Yoga Rewild community โ€” your continued presence is the greatest compliment. Thank you for trusting me with your practice.

To all the collaborators who have co-created ceremonies and immersive experiences with me โ€” it is a joy to weave alongside such wonderful human beings. I value being part of this mycelium network of holistic space holders.

And to my guides, in flesh, spirit, and cyclical rhythm โ€” thank you for leading me back to mySelf, through shadow work and inner wisdom.

๐ŸŒ•Cold Full Moon & Thriving Through Winter

Under the Cold Full Moon, everything feels a little sharper, a little clearer.

Itโ€™s a lunar invitation to pause, breathe, and set the intention to thrive through winter โ€” not by doing more, but by honouring what your body and spirit truly need. โ„๏ธโœจ

For me, thriving through this season looks likeโ€ฆ
โœจ Slowing down
โœจ Releasing what feels heavy
โœจ Restoring the energy thatโ€™s poured out all year
โœจ Reconnecting with the Self, with nature, and with what matters most

Winter asks us to soften our pace and strengthen our presence.

To rest as a form of resilience.

To nourish the quiet parts of ourselves that often go unheard.

Over the next few weeks, Iโ€™m offering space to honour this winter wisdom โ€” gentle, grounding sessions to help you rest, release, restore, and reconnect.

No pressure, just an open-hearted invitation to join if it feels aligned. ๐Ÿ’›

May this winter hold you gently.
May you thrive in your own quiet way.

My forest green cloak arrived todayโ€ฆ and it feels like another step on a path Iโ€™ve been walking for a while. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Although I started my spiral in September, wearing the cloak makes me feel even more like a trainee Priestex โ€” a little wilder, a little more ancient, a little more me. ๐ŸŒ™

The training with is helping me unveil the hinterland, the rituals, the magic โœจ. Itโ€™s a process of uncovering, peeling back the layers of both the land and myself.

Itโ€™s a journey Iโ€™m grateful to be on, one through which Iโ€™m travelling and bonding with a circle of sisters. ๐Ÿค

I canโ€™t wait to wear it in ceremony in the woods, wrapped in green and held by the land. ๐ŸŒฒ

Rewilding, one layer at a time. ๐ŸŒณโœจ

NB: For those wondering โ€” Priestess is feminine, Priest is masculine, and Priestex is gender-neutral. Iโ€™ve decided to adopt the latter; it feels balanced, spacious, and true to where I am on this path. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Itโ€™s finally happenedโ€ฆ Yoga Rewild gift vouchers are now live in the shop! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŽ‰

We made it out ๐Ÿ’ซ

We got dressed up and headed to the Positive Women CIC World AIDS Day fundraiser.

I first met the founder Bonnie 5.5 years ago, when I reached out offering to teach yoga for the HIV community. Since then, Iโ€™ve been teaching regular online sessions, and it remains one of the most rewarding aspects of my week.

Although HIV has shifted from a terminal illness to a chronic condition thanks to antiretroviral medication, it remains heavily stigmatised. Many people living with HIV still face profound social challenges, including isolation.

It was truly heart-warming to be part of the galaโ€”meeting in person so many people Iโ€™ve formed deep connections with through sharing yoga online. Hearing the stories of the incredible women supported by Positive Women CIC was a powerful reminder of the challenges they face and the life-changing role organisations like this play.

Tomorrow is World AIDS Day. Marking this day honours the 44.1 million people who have died since the pandemic began, and the millions who are currently living with and affected by HIV. โค๏ธ
