Root to Rise with Cara

24/03/2026

Good morning, lovely ladies. ☀️
Just to clarify for those who have bought tickets for Saturday (and those still hoping to!) there is *no dance in the orchard* this time round.
Instead, we have planned an all-ability, nourishing movement and meditation practice using self-acupressure and gentle flowing movement. Together we will shift what is 'stuck' and reconnect us with our vitality and essential sense of Self. Our intention is cultivate space for courage, momentum and growth this coming year. No experience necessary. 💖
We are so looking forward to seeing you who can make it. Limited tickets remaining.
Love out 💖

Happy Spring Equinox, ladies 🌱💚
And what a day it was. ☀️

Today marks the start of the astrological new year and as such we are invited into new beginnings. If your year has felt slow, lacked clarity or feels like it hasn't quite started yet - know you're right on time.

THIS is the time for true beginnings, for renewed momentum, aligned action and for bravely expanding into whatever lies next.

*Next Saturday,* we will gather to celebrate Spring and cultivate clarity, gathering momentum for growth in the year ahead.

This month's gathering will include a *gentle, all-ability movement and meditation* practice in the glorious Spring-ified Hoop House to reconnect you with your steady, grounded, centred Self.
This will be an opportunity to create space for an unfurling of *ease, clarity and growth in body, mind and soul.* Together, we will tap into the *renewed vitality and expansion* that Spring offers. 💚

Susie will lead us in communal singing, using our voices to settle our breath, soften stress and remember the *joy of connection and expression* . No performance, no pressure, simply the *heart opening nourishment* of shared sound.

So much to look forward to. And the ferments are popping in my cupboard along with some wild garlic pesto to nourish our gut bugs too.

Reach out for the remaining tickets. We'd love to see you there 💚
