The Garden Temple

04/05/2026

A weekend well spent in the garden preparing for exciting changes at the Garden Temple ✨ It’s always been a magical place and completely organic for at least 12 years so it’s a haven and home for frogs, newts, hedgehogs, butterflies, birds, bees, ladybirds, dragonflies and more 💚
They are my deck of living oracle cards! If I have a question or a quandary it’s not long before one of them appears with some insight…

Frogs are said to be associated with the divine feminine and the moon, healing past emotional wounds , embracing new beginnings and connected to mystical realms ✨

There is a new women’s circle opening on Thursday 21st May and there is 1 space left. We will be a small group of 7 that will gather monthly on a Thursday evening 7.30-9.30pm. It’s a nurturing, kind, safe and supportive space for intention, deep rest and sharing.
The women that have attended the current circle for the past 3 years have talked of the synchronicity and healing that happens when we hold space for each other in such an intentional way. I’m looking forward to welcoming you into this space, Claire 🙏🏽

I’ve always wanted to create beautiful organic retreat lunch offerings from the Garden Temple allotment… I’m getting closer!

Occasionally I receive a beautiful card or message and it helps me remember how valuable this work is ✨

‘The women’s circle was my true beginning of learning about me. The last 3 years have meant so much to me- the circle is my anchor, it is where I feel at peace which is something I have been working towards- I’m a work in progress replicating it in my daily life. Last month was a reminder to my heart and soul of how much I love being with you and the support of the other women. ‘

I am creating a new circle to be held 7.30-9.30pm once a month on a Thursday evening and have space for 3 women to join. If you are looking for ‘an anchor’, a safe, supportive space to be yourself this maybe what you are looking for. We gather in the cosy ‘Garden Temple Sanctuary’ , create intention with candlelight, stillness with subtle movement and the breath before each women shares whatever arises in the moment… this is not about being your best self, being positive or performing. We come as we are in all our colours through all our seasons and are held in complete confidence and with compassion.
Please message if you’d like to join us.
With love,
Claire

Half an avocado
A small banana
A teaspoon of raw honey
A tablespoon of milled flaxseed
Half a teaspoon of cinnamon
Quarter teaspoon turmeric
Press a cube of peeled ginger
Top with oat milk (or whichever milk you like)

Feel free to add in/leave out to your taste 😋

Today has been a slow day to myself of pottering…. garden foraging (with a little help from the florist) and wreath creating to celebrate spring equinox. 💚

My monthly women’s circle is all about coming and being as we are. It’s not always easy and we can’t always find words to express how we are. Gentle exploration of sensations in the body can encourage self expression. Sometimes its words, sometimes tears, sometimes a silence and all are held in equal reverence. Sometimes we discover grief, sometimes it’s self celebration. As a group of women we held space for all of this in last night’s circle. In witnessing each other there’s always something in ourselves we discover. There’s such natural tenderness towards each other. We also laugh a lot.

I am opening a new circle one Thursday evening a month 7.30-9.30pm and there are spaces. Please WhatsApp 07984 553465 if you’d like to know more or message this page,

March’s ‘treasure and release’ retreat day witnessed us journalling and sharing what is ready to be released from our lives- habitual behaviours, thoughts, long held beliefs and was transmuted through movement, self massage, the breath, yoga nidra and fire ceremony into treasure-what we want to protect, nurture and grow within us. There was so much synchronicity as there always is when women gather and share... How we want to release the feelings of responsibility for everyone and everything and treasure a slower pace of being honouring where we are in life. We talked about how in perimenopause our physical energy lessens and our intuition and psychic energy grows. Slowing our pace rather than making ourselves wrong enables us to harness the potency of this transition.

The next ‘treasure and release’ day is on Sunday 19th April.
