The Next Treasure and Release Retreat Day is Sunday 15th February, 11-2.30

March 8th - Fully Booked
April 19th

These are small friendly gatherings that many return to to receive a regular nervous system balance top up. Many come alone but of course you are welcome to bring a friend or 2!

In colder weather I hold the sessions in the lounge retreat space with a log burner.

Share a morning of deeply restorative and healing practices - intention setting, guided deep relaxation, gentle yoga and Breathwork in tune with the elements and season, journalling and optional sharing. There will be a warming soup and graze board lunch the we will gather round the fire (inside in cooler months) for a healing releasing ceremony.

‘Treasure and Release’
Sundays 11-2.30
15th Feb , 8th March , 19th April

Experience a deeply nurturing journey through the chakras (energy centres) and koshas (layers of being : physical, mental, emotional and spiritual).

These Sundays have been created from my experience of the healing potency of breathing, subtle floor movement, self massage, journalling, deep rest, and sharing (optional).

We work with intention to reveal our heart’s desire; the treasure and release what stands in its way through a simple fire ceremony.
We share a wholesome and healthy lunch, tea and chocolate.

All are welcome and all of you is welcome, I always say ‘come as you are’, no need to bring ‘your best self’. No previous knowledge of yoga, chakras etc is necessary.

Only 6 places on each date.
I also have availability for Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays if you would like to gather your own small group of friends, family or colleagues and create a bespoke retreat day) (min 4, max 6)

Lunar clarity finding its way through the tangle of silver birch this morning.
Silver birch are said to symbolise new beginnings and renewal as they are the first trees to bud and their white bark symbolises purity and light.

December 9th - 18th

I love how source plays with us. I almost knew the moment I ‘committed’ to daily sharing there would be some intervention 😆✨
The day after arriving home from Scotland I became unwell with a fever and have spent the last 5 days in bed. I’ve missed festive gatherings, my pre- Christmas meditation class and women’s circle and don’t even have a tree up yet.
I actually feel peacefully unchristmasy… anyone else?!

The healing process I did in Scotland was profound. It’s work I have been committed to for the past 3 years… healing the imprints of pre and perinatal trauma. It’s incredibly potent life changing work that I realise I have been readying myself for for a long time.
I know this is changing who I am and how I show up in the world for myself and others… no big announcements but I feel the synchronous energy of shedding the year of the snake and heading towards the year of the horse, leaving behind a ‘9’ year and emerging into a ‘1’ year.
Having to surrender to bed rest (no easy job for a ‘doer’ with ADD the week before Christmas!) and detoxify through fever is a fitting end to a year of quiet transformation and skin shedding.

Today….
‘I am holding gently to a trust and optimism in the lightness that 2026 will bring’.

How are you feeling as 2025 comes to an end?

December 6th, 7th and 8th

‘I am remembering life, my states of being and emotions are in constant flow. I am emotionally free to feel or release anything I wish to. ‘

Yesterday I turned 52 and I spent the afternoon journeying to the east coast of Scotland. It’s a beautiful place where for the last 3 years I have come to engage in some deeply healing ‘work’.

There are always channels of water flowing down through the beach to the sea but this morning after heavy rain there are more than ever. I have a deep sense of releasing some long held emotions and beliefs into the ocean. As I am writing this the sun has broken through the clouds.

I remember my emotions are in constant flow and I am free to feel or release anything I wish’

December 3rd, 4th and 5th

Today I am remembering the power of honesty and authenticity.

The truth is I haven’t felt inspired to post here the last few days… nothing revealed itself or wanted to be spoken. So I didn’t because I’m not very good at saying things for the sake of it!

I was questioning why I had announced I was going to do this in the first place. I softened the grip on the ‘rule’ I made and found a way round it that worked for me.
A couple of days ago a friend and I were admiring the silhouettes of trees. I love their honesty and transparent nakedness… no hiding behind leaf laden boughs, showy blossoms or hanging fruits. They no longer serve anyone else, neither an obvious source of food nor shelter from the elements.

Today I remember and celebrate my honesty and authenticity 🙏🏽

✨December 2nd✨

Today I am remembering the strength of my courageous heart.

Our soul journeys through lifetimes, each reincarnation presenting different experiences as opportunities for our soul’s growth. Sometimes we accept and meet life’s offerings with ease but other times life feels too much to bear.
In these moments I try to remember my courageous heart (cœur is French for heart). The heart of our subtle body is the meeting place of the earthly lower centres and the heavenly upper centres. For me it feels like the space where our soul assimilates life.
The heart is not only a physical muscle but an energetic muscle too that loves to be worked.

Place a hand on your heart and breathe in. As you breathe out allow your breath to flow down through your body and into the earth. Breathe back up to your heart and feel your breath filling your heart. Breathe back down through your body into the earth. Begin to sense a fullness in your heart. You are opening a pathway to feeling and courage. This is not about putting on a brave face, there’s no bypassing here. Courage is embodied - through the breath and the body you reach the depths of the heart.

‘I am remembering the strength of my courageous heart’.
