Root to Rise Wellbeing Course 🤎🌱💚🌳

Laying the foundations for mind-body-soul wellbeing.

Take time this November to go on a reflective, empowering journey towards healing, vibrancy and authenticity in the beautiful Blackbird of Donaghadee. 🐦‍⬛ This Root to Rise course is an opportunity to find a deeper connection with yourself, your creativity, others and nature - to root into the truth of who you are and rise in confidence and strength.

Who for?
Women seeking authentic connection and to deepen their sense of self? Women feeling frazzled, ungrounded, anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, fatigued, suffering from immune or metabolic dysfunction, gut issues?

Many of these symptoms point to a level of dysregulation in the nervous system which this course is designed to support. You will be empowered with tools, based in ancient wisdom and supported by science, to harness your body’s innate wisdom towards mind-body-soul healing and growth.

Practices will include:

Mindful movement for up and down-regulating the nervous system (all-ability chair based). 🧘🏻‍♀️

Vagus Nerve stimulation exercises. ✨

Meditation and breath practices. 🫁

Self-reflection through journaling, mapping your nervous system and creative practices. 🖌️🎨✍🏻

If your intuition is telling you it's your time for a shift - this will be a lifetime investment in your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. This course will provide a compassionate, non-judgmental, supportive space where all hearts are nourished and you can safely explore your challenges and gifts. It is to be approached with a sense of openness and fun. No experience, level of fitness or sense of creativity is required.

Investment is £60 for the 4-week course. Cuppa and treats included. (Please reach out to discuss payment options if required)

Fridays starting November 8th from 10.30-12.30 in Donaghadee.

The longest journey in life is the journey back to ourSelf. Our true Self - without the layers of shame, fear, criticism and feelings of unworthiness or the need to perform or be perfect to be loved. My many, many layers of conditioning and misperceptions keep bringing me back to the mat, often on my knees 🫣, to guide me back to truth. I have a toolbox to help guide me back to my best, vibrant, whole, complete Self when I've gotten lost in the craziness of life. I'd love to share these tools with you. Tools including mindful meditation and breathwork, yoga and qigong practices and compassionate self-reflection. They will help build resilience in your nervous system, which in turn will help with your mental health, digestion, hormonal balance and develop an overall sense of health and wellness. And all classes are suitable for complete beginners.

Join our new 5 week course starting on Wednesday 8 Nov in the Male Voice Choir Hall, Donaghadee.
9.45-11am (optional cuppa after to connect with other like-minded, supportive fabulous women.)
Investment £45

HELLO SEPTEMBER,
THE SEASON OF LETTING GO

And so begins the season of letting go,
when Mother Nature shows us all,
how it’s done.
Let go,
free yourself,
shake it off,
drop it,
give way for the new.
Create space for new thoughts, new ideas,
new adventures and new connections,
by shedding the dead weight you’ve been carrying around,
for so long.
And whilst you are there, being reborn and renewed,
let go of old anxieties too.
Let go of any doubts, fears or beliefs which no longer serve you well.
Release bitterness or past hurts which feast on your beauty.
Be brave,
Don’t fear the nakedness as your leaves slip away.
Mother Nature doesn’t,
watch and learn.

A Poem on Children by Khalil Gibran, from his book The Prophet.

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Artist: Claudia Tremblay

Today was a remembering of the sacred journey that life is. The road where we are invited again and again to embrace all of ourselves. Accepting the invitation is the hardest, bravest, most powerful thing you can ever do.

Homecoming

A time before dawn,
When the night has become too dark
The burdens too heavy
The dishonesty too painful
And there's too much torment in the disconnect.
There comes the opportunity to seek out the dim glow that has been flickering all along.
Awaiting you - in the depths of your Soul.

At first, it's hard to let your eyes adjust to the great hope that lies therein.
You turn away as the harsh untruth of your unworthiness comes into focus.
It's unbearable to feel into the intensity with which you rejected yourSelf.
Loosen your grip, dear one. Be gentle. Hear the soft whisper of yourSelf gently call you home.

Just take a glance and you will find that the flickering glow will swell and envelop you whole.
It befriends the darkness.
Embraces the shadows.
And reminds you of what was always there.

Light. In all its abundance - generously, joyfully springing forth and dismantling the cloaks of shame and fear.
You bathe in the light - remembering home.
