Dorothy Winter - Spiritual Healer

Dorothy Winter - Spiritual Healer Energy cleaning, Reiki Healing, Soul surfing- Trauma informed A healing treatment typically lasts 1hr-1.5hrs.

The client remains fully clothed, and covered with a blanket. The practitioner will then begin a treatment by placing hands on or above the body where energy is channelled. I work with the elements and the majority of the treatment (remote or in-person) is centred around energy abstraction and trauma recovery. During a treatment the client may experience feelings and sensations depending on their needs at the time. Everyone is different, and some clients may feel nothing at all. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience seeing colours, whilst others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, and balance is being restored.

Exploring the lower cauldron, working with white & blackthorn, connecting to Osiris, sharing our thoughts on stability, father's, and the land.

We sewed amulets from berries, chanted and toned, meditated, with rituals and... magic!

I love creating circles for you!

I am so grateful to hang out with you all.

But it's you who makes it special.

See some of you in October!

Special thanks to

Hawthorn//Blackthorn berry braclets.

Sloes picked with permission from a great big blackthorn tree at a junction in my village and Hawthorn berries from further up the road where I walk my daughter to school.

Blackthorn is such a significant tree to me. I love its perfect protection is gives through its hollow thorns and the way on my walks it calls me to it in early spring with its delicate white flowers. Often, we link blackthorn to the shadow, the boundary,to the thicket.

Hawthorn has this beautiful mire showy seasonal cycle, with its dazzling may flowers and bright red berries. Connected to the heart and, in particular, healing.

Both are connected, interplaying each other just like parts of ourselves.

I sewed the berries one by one, alternating, sometimes not. I allowed myself to go into a trance and threaded them together with a mental key or moon and then sealed them with ribbons if purple and black.

These will be part of Saturdays circle where we will be delving into the lower cauldron, meeting osiris through the tangled thicket.

What's a reiki master anyway?
I always find it fascinating how the word master implies leverage on the concept of power and, therefore, greater healing.
In regular reiki, you have 3 levels: Level 1 self-healing, Level 2 practitioner & level 3 Master. This last part is when one is shown how to teach and initiate others.

It doesn't reflect the length of time one has been working with people, it doesn't reflect the depth of experience, it doesn't mean they are trauma informed, it doesn't mean they have extra powers or extra healing capacity, it doesn't mean they are healed or know how to hold space for you!

Did you know you can become a reiki master for £25 on Udemy? How amusing is that.
I stopped mentioning master in my bio because although I have completed Tera-mai, Cartouche & Seichem teacher training, most knowlege is gained in the practice, in connection with people!

I learned more by stepping outside of the formular I was taught. I guess this was my rebellious side. I went my separate way with the teachings and made them my own. That was when I became a critical thinker, when I felt truly in tune with the concept of the body holding trauma and stress. That there needs to be a relationship with rmbofiment, and the somatic connection - and not just fluffy "energy."

This was my way out of the paradigm of the reiki system. It helped me become more aware, in tune, more dynamic, and better than any certificate could represent.

And, of course, this means I teach differently. Lots of ppl choose to train with me because I don't operate in the classic model. In fact, what I teach isn't about channelling reiki- it's more thorough than that. I love being questioned, I love dialogue,and I love learning from the people I teach too.

So, when choosing who to work with, don't be distracted by a title. There are amazing practitioners out there who are perfect for you!

Ellen Terry's well at Small Hythe Place. A quintessential English well where the mind transports to fairy tales.

Julia Margaret Cameron photographed Ellen Terry when she was 16, and she looked as if it was taken yesterday.

A few years ago, we ended up in the photographers house/museum in the IOW. Imagine my surprise to see some of the images that hang in my living room on the walls! I inherited my mothers prints, a gift from her first teaching job.

Believing nothing is by chance we ended up visiting small Hythe last year and realised ut was Ellen Terrys. I can't quite explain this sort of syncronistic thread, but it feels important. Her energy, both of these ladies, is important in some way, to me, to us.

An actress from early childhood, the photographs, paintings, mementoes make me imagine her as someone who had discovered how to time travel. Her house was wonky and ethereal. Strange mysterious energy permerating it yet incredibly warm too.

The illustrator Pamela Colman Smith (Raider-waite-tarot) spent time there drawing, and so I imagine they talked and dreamed and acted great plays and rituals together.

Smallhythe was once a dock (hythe means port), building boats for the king, a Roman goddess staue was found too, time team have even dug it up in search of history.

On the horizon, an island of long ago can be seen, when the River rither would have assusted people to and fro.

Now, the water streams act as a memory for those who know and where the frogs sing.

And in the garden, there's her well.

This is the age of observation.

My body can nolonger operate with so much fire and famine. My nervous system now communicates through percussion.
The rattle, rattle, and crash.

When we talk of guides and intuition, surely we are really listening to our soul speak. I rewrote my bio the other day, finding words to describe my practice, and I feel like I'm simply clearing old me away.

I have spent so long looking back and reliving it that I made myself a time capsule. I suppose I feel the grief in that now, of losing sight of being alive, as if I had my head out the car window.

Plenitude is a gift. But what if we miss these moments because we are so caught up in the winds of change, of the other, of projection, and of perception.

Healing is not all the stuff. It really isn't.
It's being on your knees and getting back up again.
It's the the break throughs and quiet realisations, and the hope that these moments will help action a change.
It's feeling less burn for the yesteryear.
It's witnessing another without trapezing into it being about you.
It's courage.
It's commitment.
It's letting stuff go.

This is the age of observation.

A crossroads for the soul. It's living in tandem with your own heart. It's pulling back because you feel you need to. It's living with generosity and kindness. It's not a gaslight, and it probably is a privilege.
But it's definitely a resurrection and healing for the soul.

This is the age of observation.

I've been holding circles, spiritual development circles, and circle celebrations for a while now. Each one is as unique as those who attend them. They are prepared and curated for weeks in order to build the energy and intention of the circle.

I love creating events with as much magic and mystery as possible. For me, there is something enchanting about delving into misty witchy arenas. I love to provide the playground for others to play in them, too. I  often email scripts so attendees can "act out" Rites - it is all part of building the energy.

So, on one hand, we have the theatre, the magical intention, the archetype we might be invoking, or the symbol that we are chanting. But on the other hand is softness, which presents itself from the sharing, the vulnerability, the quiet listening, and the witnessing.

Circles are opportunities to hear other people's prayers and realise they are your own. It's a sort of ancientness that is familiar - even for those of us who find groups hard.

Part of the power of circle is remembering our power. The priestess lives inside us all.

H I R E • M E

Over the last couple of years, I have been hired to create private circles for people. These have been intimate and big. From birthday rites of passage to personal thresholds, I have created bespoke circles, rituals, blessings, and initiations.

I held a handfasting ceremony, baby naming ceremonies, placenta burials, mothers blessings, and MANY 13th Rite Womb blessings.

Working with me means you get:
• Over ten years of energy healing experience,
• Practical experience holding monthly women's circles, rites, & rituals.
• A catalogue of creative and artistic visionary ideas (art school grad here),
• Grounded & structured plans and consultations (I like plans),
• Event organisation (ex make up masterclass event organiser here)
• And I can recommend suppliers.

So if you are thinking you would like to celebrate or mark an occasion solo or with family & friends, then get in touch.

These fabulous photos are by , who was capturing the equally fabulous .minx amazing event.

Gratitude to being able to share them. Thank you, ladies!

Dear me,

Stop doubting, keep going, and believe in yourself. You got this!

You don't have to explain yourself to anybody.

Especially the people who don't understand you at your heart.

You are not as complicated as you think, other people feel the way you do too.

Do what makes you truly happy.

Don't fall back into old patterns just because they are familiar.

You took on so much that was not yours to carry. We can set it down now, whenever you are ready.

I forgive you.

Thank you for being stronger than I thought you were.

Don't you ever give up on yourself. This life is going to challenge you and knock you down- but don't you ever give up.

When you feel like you have given it your all and there's nothing left, remember your power.

Your current situation is not your final destination.

Remember who you are.

Keep dreaming, keep fighting, keep growing, keep learning, and never give up.

I love you.

Love me.

Sometimes things are just sh*tty for people, and the whole "the universe has a plan" theory doesn't quite land right.

Sometimes, all the spiritual jargon alienates the very people who need healing most.

Sometimes, I wonder if half the stuff I read people actually think.

Sometimes, I'm so over chakra chat. I'm so over masculine vs. feminine and gratitude being the key to acceptance. I'm so over zero points and lionsgate portals and ascending.

Sometimes, I'm all up for expansion and dreaming and leaving my body. But as I spent a decade taking drugs to not be here, so the biggest turn-on and tune in-is to be. Here.
Even though it feels hard.
Sometimes.

I'm mainly interested in people. I'm interested in helping people make sense of their stories.

I'm interested in people receiving a slice of time all for themselves, to come back to their bodies- or out of their bodies or half way - or anyway they need to be. To just be. Without judgement/expection/right/wrong/good/bad/or more work.

I'm interested in asking people what felt good or hard and that neuroception/introception/like/hate/coloured lights/never again/coming home - being the medicine. We all need to heal.

I'm interested in giving people options and comfort.
I'm interested in advocating that people don't need to push through to win the invisible healing competition they have with themselves.

I'm interested in choice and consent. I'm interested in energy healing being offered in a different way.

And that means unlearning/un programming and letting go of the idea that others know more or better - and forging a new way to bring energy healing to:

the people who need it /the people who had bad experiences with it in the past or the people who want to offer healing to others.

If this sounds like your cup of tea- then maybe you need to work with me 🙏

Kebechet means cooling water, and she was associated with embalming and keeping the dead hydrated, refreshed, and purified until they rebirthed. The offering of water was an important part of preparing for the afterlife, and relatives would be comforted to know she was caring for them. She was also seen as the neter who could open the sky and free the spirit from the body. She assisted her father, Anubis, in mummifying the dead. She was depicted as a woman with the head of a serpent.

She was closely linked to the Nile River and the Great Sky River (the Milky Way).

She is seen as a purifier, bringing harmony. She offers her waters to help cool, clear, and restore you.

She is great if you need refreshment, feeling dull or depressed as she brings renewed interest and flushes away melancholy.

Join me for a group journey to connect, clear, and receive.
