Earth cools, calms, neutralises

Earth is fertile, nourishing and sustaining

At the Sacred Nature Women's Retreat we'll be connecting to the earthiness of and in our own sacred body, as we find presence within the beautiful land of the retreat space and the land of our physical being 🤲🏼

When we tend to and welcome our physicality in all it's myriad of expressions; lightness and heaviness, freedom and tension, pleasure and pain, we nourish & honour our foundation of being a human.

A human being with this gift of a sacred vessel- communicating, guiding us to allow our spirit to flow freely and our mind to be directed toward wholesome conscious pathways.

Sunday 8th June
East Sussex
11am-4pm

Wild Swimming, Wood Fired Hot Tub, Ceremonial Cacao, Yoga Nidra & more 💫

POV: That inspiration & inner peace you feel post Women's Circle 💫

✨️Ahh the deep exhales of your body softening as you're guided to settle into a harmony between your physical, mental, and energy bodies

✨️The loving space held to be just as you are in that moment with women who will not try to suggest, fix or compare

✨️The remembering, the deep bone remembering of the magic that comes from sitting together in this way

Ooof I am so excited to be holding Women's Circles again! I'd love to welcome you there:

My Goddess! What a month this has been ✨️🪐 tomorrow is the first New Moon of this astrological new year & it might feel like A LOT has been coming up for you as the cosmos supports us in aligning with our highest self and vision for this life. There is such a lot going on astrologically right now


Are the pros on that! But here's my offering on what can support 🙏🏻

Maybe you've felt a swing from feeling aligned with who and where u are meant to be/going, centred and confident to the polar opposite at times.

Perhaps the stuff in your inner & outer world that is not serving you is simply unable to be denied or ignored anymore.

So it's super important to remember (reminder to myself too as ever!)...

What's holding us back becomes heightened so it can be more fully known to us so we can finally release it and write a new narrative. If we open to the discomfort it might bring, we can understand what unconscious contracts we've agreed to and what ones have truly served their time.

The further the arrow is pulled back, the further it can soar. The further we journey into our underworld of our subconscious beliefs, habits, unheld grief and anger, the clearer our thoughts and actions, the deeper our joy and love can be.

Remember our elemental allies and the support they can provide. A few practices;

💨Sacred smoke to cleanse and release, give thanks to the beautiful sage or other cleansing herb you use before asking it to clear any heaviness or lingering blockages in all the layers of your multidimensional self. Invite all of your senses fully into the experience to ground and uplift you.

💧Water to wash away the old- salt baths or wild swimming or even just singing/praying to the water in your shower to help wash away stagnant energies, to cleanse your energy body, to allow clarity to emerge and flow of life force

🌎Earth to ground and connect with Mother Earths healing electrical charge and sooth your nervous system. Visualise the unserving habit patterns in your mind and body being released down through your feet into the earth, giving thanks to her unconditional love and transmutation to higher vibrations.

With love,
Mel ♥️ 🙏🏻

Feeling so blessed remembering this beautiful water ceremony held by in celebration of Spring Equinox & world water day.

It means everything to me to take my babies to spaces like this. Leo (my 2 yr old) was so aware of the sacredness of it all, even resisting blowing out the candle (which he soo loves to do atm!) and gently placing the offerings of Oats and sunflower seeds as part of the Despacho.

Despacho is an Andean Ceremonial practice to offer reverence, prayers and gratitude to Mother Earth. It honours our interconnectedness & responsibility with the whole web of life.

We also sang a beautiful song I wanted to share here below:

Put your roots down,
put your feet on the ground,
can you hear what she says
when you listen?

'Cause the sound of river
as it moves across the stones is the
same sound as the blood in your body
as it moves across your bones.

Are you listening?
By Molly Hartwell

Grateful for all the sacred waters within & without
💧🙏🏻💙

Wonderful women! I invite you to an afternoon of soul-nourishment & sisterhood on the April New Moon and the brink of Beltane. A powerful time to fill your cup!

In this sacred space, you will be supported to nourish and celebrate your Divine Feminine gifts and your innate connection with the cosmos and the cycles of nature💫☯️🌱🌎🌷🔻

As each woman is welcomed just as she is and held in reverence for who she was and who she is becoming, we are reminded of the strength and inspiration found through the power of sisterhood.

Our time together and the ancient & modern spiritual practices we will explore, will offer you the reminder of just how supported and guided you are; by a loving force known by many different names and understood beyond our mental comprehension, yet FELT in our being when we set intentions to go within and connect to our heart and soul.

Exactly 5 years ago today (thanks Google pic memories!) I held my last class before taking maternity leave to have my first son Ethan 🥹

And here is the photo of that evening 🥲

I've been reflecting SO much about my old full time working YogaVida days just recently and even heard from people I hadn't spoken to or taught since that time just the other day, for 2 days in a row- lovely unexpected messages coming through!

I even enquired if the Monday evening slot is still available 🙊

When I was pregnant with Ayra, I rememebered deeply and fully in my bones and being that this work is important to me, to my soul, and to my purpose and that I have to find a way to flow more with it as a mama to 3, who also home eds 🤣🤪

The perfectionist in me, that Motherhood has brutally beaten down a tad, meant that I didn't always take the time to fully appreciate and be proud of myself for what I created then.

But I am now 🥰♥️

And just getting back into offerings again these last few weeks, feels like a homecoming 🙏🏻

Little synchronicities are happening all the time, plans and dreams I've had since then are forming so much more clearly and I am so excited!

I'm also extremely grateful for this beautiful community, we created something magical back then, and since. Thank You ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻
