How often do you take time to tune into yourself? And when thoughts and feelings inevitably come when you do, how do you work through these? Are you a journalling kind of gal? Or do you mull things over in your mind? Do you need to shake things off, scream at the trees? Or maybe you struggle to sit with the big stuff and find yourself distracting yourself with comforting things? Just to be clear, I do all of the above, so no judgement here. There is no right or wrong way to wander your inner world, only your way.

I’m asking because I’m curious about how often you listen to what your body tells you in those moments. How often do you act upon your intuition? I truly believe this is a skill that many of us have lost or better, were told to get rid of. We have been taught that cognitive thinking, linear problem solving, doing, is the only way to achieve our goals. Even in meditation, I sometimes get lost in my head, with thoughts hijacking my body. But this is not how women work. Or better, it is not just how women work or how we work well. The whole reason why women were taught to ignore and distrust their intuition is because it’s so bloody powerful. We KNOW what is good for us, we KNOW what the next steps are, we KNOW what is needed (and it’s often not what society tells us we need) … because our body knows. And when we listen carefully, when we drown out the noise and check in, we can hear our body’s messages.

This is exactly what we want to practice on our half-day urban retreat on May 17th. This journey was originally planned for March, but there was little to no interest and it made us wonder. Is it the wrong time of year, is it too long, is it unclear what we are offering? We still strongly believe in the power and value of the space we'll be creating, so we want to offer it to you now, at the start of a new cycle.
If you crave intentional time to tune into yourself and to reclaim the feminine skill of tapping into your body’s wisdom, then this is for you. Through using our voice, body and sound, this is an opportunity to process and integrate what is most alive in us, without avoiding, overthinking or feeling overwhelmed. We hope to see you there!✨️

When you realise trees have stretch marks too...because there is no growth without change 🌳💚

Remember my post the other day about the collaborative circle I'm hosting this weekend? The one where I talk about the absolute warrior you need to be to show up to something where you're invited to be your true self in front of a bunch of other women? Yeah that one.

Well there's another reason why you might be like 'nice for you hun but I'm not coming'.

We'll be spending about 5 deliciously restful hours together, sitting in circle, gently moving our bodies and letting sound wash over us, so I get it when women say 'I'm cooking the Sunday roast at that time' or 'I'd rather do a quick yoga class' or simply 'I don't have time for that'.

I get it AND I want to invite you to think about why it's so hard for us women to prioritise ourselves?

For most of us societal conditioning seeps into our lives as soon as we're born and some of us end up people pleasing and being good girls for the rest of our lives. Good girls who put themselves at the bottom of their priority list and who think self-care looks like a massage every 6 months and sitting down instead of standing up to eat their lunch.
Well let me tell you, that's not enough and maybe no one has ever told you but ✨️you deserve more ✨️
You deserve all the hot cups of coffee (freshly made, not reheated), the job promotion, the freedom you're seeking, in the choices you make (from what outfit you want to wear to whether you want kids or not) or the places you want to live in, all of it. You deserve to be on the top of your priority list. Actually, let me rephrase that, you belong on the top. You are the sun in the solar system of your life, so if you can't give anymore, what happens then?

But I get it, it's so much easier to nod in agreement when people say 'you can't pour from an empty cup' instead of actually living it. Women pour from empty cups all the flipping time, pulling energy and love up from the endless well within them, but we all know it comes at a cost.

So see how it feels when I tell you this is an invitation to top up your inner well. To rest and prioritise yourself, truly 💛

We gather on the 8th of March, link to our Spiral.In X Somapresence circle in bio.

“I’m living my life in the cracks of other people’s needs.”

This line from ‘s play Inter Alia stopped me right in my tracks. A devastatingly beautiful way of describing the lives of so many women.

It is hard work to prioritise ourselves. It can feel alien and unsafe and impossible at times. But to truly belong, we must keep trying.

Find what lights you up and follow it, it won’t lead you astray ✨

Only one month to go, lovelies, till our gorgeous Spiral.In X Somapresence circle ✨️
This will be a restful afternoon of courageously speaking your truth, gently moving your body and allowing sound to sooth you. This is not just a circle, it's the start of reclaiming your feminine powers.

And I wonder, dear one, how do you feel reading that?
What comes up when you imagine yourself being witnessed by other women, being seen as you, fully, as you speak, move and rest?

Joining a circle like this sounds incredibly nourishing and divine for some women and for others, it's their worst nightmare. If you're one of those women, feeling like something inside you really wants to join but something else is saying 'hell no', then this post is for you.

Because you know what, you're right. It can feel really big to put yourself in a situation where you might feel awkward as f*ck, you might feel like you're not doing it right or like everyone is looking at you and judging you. Heck, haven't we all been conditioned to fear and distrust one another as women (hello witch wound and thanks patriarchy), so why would you bring your vulnerability to a room full of them?
But you see, that is the point. It takes a gentle and positive experience to start healing from all those previous ones where we were disappointed, hurt or humiliated by a woman. It takes courage to trust again, to be the one who chooses to believe that strength truly comes from vulnerability and feminine community. In softening and reconnecting with each other in an authentic way, we can start to feel the power that arises when women are in support of one another. This is in our blood and bones, there's nothing new to learn here, all you have to do is be brave and show up as you. We will hold you and create the safe space in which we can all be ourselves, be awkward together and belong exactly as we are.

📸 What do fungi on a tree have to do with reconnecting women you ask? Well, if the blooms of a mycelium network aren't the perfect symbols for collaboration and interconnectedness, then I don't know what is ☺️🍄💛

Come be together with us next month, we would love to journey with you (link in bio) ✨️

I'm reading Lucy H Pearce's Crow Moon and the thing I love most about it is the feeling of belonging that emanates from it.
It's the knowledge that there is a feminine collective longing for the crow and that at a certain age, women start to lift their faces to the sky in search of them 🪶

For about two years now, I've often pulled The Crow from my deck of oracle cards. It relates to speaking your truth, which is something that is deeply necessary for our authentic expression and something we practice in circle, but there's more. It feels like an initiation into something. The fact that I'm noticing them everywhere not only reassuring but meaningful. They are telling me something, but I can't quite understand them...yet.

For now, I allow crows to simply pull me into presence, even if just for a moment. Whether I'm pushing my kids on the swing, walking towards the train station or having a cuppa in the garden, when a crow flies over, I stop for a moment. A feel my feet on the earth and take a breath, I come back to my centre.

What anchors do you have in your life or what could be one? Something that allows you to be fully here, now? Tell me in the comments 💛
And if little snippets of presence are simply not enough, why not join us in circle this year (link in bio)? ✨️

One of the things I’d like to achieve with my work is healing and strengthening connections between women. Something powerful happens when women come together in support of one another and create, encourage and collaborate in service of others and for the good of all. I can only describe it as magic.

So here’s a bit of magic for you ✨

I’m so excited to be collaborating with some gorgeous women, offering nourishing practices that blend in beautifully with circle.

Join , .royle and me on International Women’s Day for a restful journey that weaves together the power of women’s circle, somatic movement and sound healing ❤️‍🔥

Three facilitators and half a day of slow and gently guided self-nourishment, this is for you if you’re ready to put yourself first 🌹

I’m really feeling the push and pull between wanting to sink into the quiet of winter and the outward business of this season. Everything feels like a priority, meanwhile, my own needs and practices are slowly sinking to the bottom of my to-do list. What I’m noticing at the moment though is that I’m really aware of the fact that my cup isn’t being filled enough and that I don’t like it. So I drag myself higher up the to-do list and I try to make time for me more often. Reading a book, sipping a hot chocolate, watching some Netflix, it all helps a little, but what REALLY feels good, is sitting in silence. That wonderfully juicy November silence. I light a candle, close my eyes, feel my body on the Earth and sit.

Something extraordinary happens when you sit quietly.
✨️You realise that silence is never truly silent ✨️

When I create intentional moments for myself, the silence becomes a space in which my inner landscape can reveal itself and that space gets filled instantly. With feelings that haven’t been allowed to fully come to the surface, with thoughts that take me by surprise, with inner child conversations, with wisdom I didn’t even knew I had, with dreams that spark my creativity and so much more. One after the other, faster and faster, overwhelmingly intense until… it has all passed. Embodied memories slowly drifting down like settling sediment. Until the boulders have been cleared, the river is calm again and I know where I’m going.

The very reason I run circles is because I want to gift women a moment where they can come up for air, after being swept away in the rapid of life. A moment of silence. The kind in which you can allow yourself to feel it all for a moment and really listen, to take stock and choose where you want to go. And yes, sometimes that can feel heavy, but the beauty of circle lies in that you don’t have to carry that weight alone, it’s shared by others. It's a place to feel our strength through our vulnerability, a place to switch off so we can switch on inside 💛

Spiral.In circles have formed the metronome of my life. A constant and steady thread throughout the three years I've been doing this work, something to measure the passing of time against. Meeting monthly, creating a moment of rest, for me, for and with others.

Although my circles are alive and well, I haven't been able to prioritise them in the way I really want to. The last couple of months, life has been full and complex and beautiful and it has caused me to water the seedling I nurtured into being, less than maybe it would like.
I have so many dreams and with creativity flowing freely lately, ideas have bubbled up and sparked excitement in my belly. For now, they go on paper, in journals, my phone and random Word documents on my computer, a collection of little sprouts I want to nurture and help grow. With every dream, every circle, every authentic and truthful conversation, it becomes clearer what I want these sprouts to blossom into. Releasing them into the world feels like the next important step in the journey, but I also feel I want to allow them to unfold in their own time. Slowly, slowly, without forcing or pressure. Maybe the rich darkness of autumn and winter will work its magic, as it always does, and I'll be able to bring Spiral.In's new shoots to you soon... 🌱

I guess what I want to say with this post is, thank you. Thank you for being here, for your patience, for joining me on this journey and for sitting in circle with me every month. For forming the thread that keeps me tethered to the importance of this work, this reclamation of our feminine strength and power. I love this work because of you ✨️

The autumn equinox is upon us 🍁
Can you believe it? How did we get here?

Time is a funny thing. I feel like the reality of it is often different than how I think about it in my head. As a kid I used to think summer only lasted two months, the time I was off school. Autumn started when the first leaf fell to the floor and ended when all trees were bare. Winter was Christmas, spring my birthday. It all felt quite compartmentalised, separate blocks, transitions marked by specific dates.

What I'm realising now is that the reality of time is something very different and is rightfully experienced in my body. As with most things, it's because of what I see in the natural world, that I've come to this realisation. When I look at the tree in my garden, her berries turning red in the middle of summer, and I notice the swifts have left before I've even fully registered they arrived, it becomes crystal clear that time is cyclical. Continuously calling in the next phase, little living things responding whilst others are at a different stage on this great magnificent wheel. Nature knows when to move on. My body knows it too. Most of the time, a melancholy lingers in my bones, a missing of a time that hasn't even begun yet. Like sand slipping through my fingers, unstoppable, a lingering in the air, my body following this ancient rhythm. Knowing when it's time to let go, feeling into when it's time to invite in something new.

How reassuring and equally devastating to know that nothing will last. All we can do is melt into the moments we are given. Every day a gift. What a privilege to get to experience life ✨️

✨️How well do you know your inner child?✨️

Recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my inner little one. So much so that I’ve come to see her as my third child. When I’m feeling overwhelmed by the demands on me, I try to discern which child needs me most. Sometimes it’s my daughter, sometimes my son and sometimes it’s little me. It has helped me put myself first sometimes, a validation of my own needs.
For me, the most pressing demands come from little people, but they could come from your work, the expectations of friends, family, pets or your home even. It could be the never-ending to-do list or it could be a pressure you feel around your creative productivity.
Not always, but often, in these situations, we are triggered. Something happens and we hear an echo from the past, making us react in a conditioned way. Our body will take the lead here and without a conscious or cognitive thought, we behave in a way that we remember will keep us safe.

Now that safety is the key. Because we needed that safety as a child. It was paramount for our survival, the safety of love and innate belonging. We learned to do what was needed to fulfil these basic needs. And even though we are adults now and can care for ourselves in many ways, our inner child still needs that safety. Our inner child is still checking whether we are loved.

So, in these overwhelming moments, can you imagine seeing your inner child? Can you feel her tugging at your skirt, calling out for you? And if you do, what would change if you mothered this child?
How would it feel to take a breath, feel your feet on the earth as the adult woman you are now and tend to this younger version of you? What would happen if you crouched down, looked her in the eye and said “I see you. I hear you. I’m here.” 💛

Something strange happens to time in summer. Days open and close, weeks pass by unnoticed and all of a sudden you start to notice the light is fading.
I often feel like we work hard, push forth, use up our inner resources, with the promise of a holiday dangling in front of us. Then when we finally get there, we get to stop at last and lay it all down, but instead we choose to fill our days to the brim, in an attempt to squeeze the most out of this time. We soak up the abundance of the warmer months, with an almost obsessive urgency, yet paradoxically, what most of us crave, is rest.

And this is what I want to share with you this summer: ✨️Rest✨️

I’d like to invite you to find it, to create it, to radically prioritise it, as much as possible. I will do the same. Of course I will continue to create space every month to sit with you, in connection and compassion, to listen and to breath, as it nourishes me as much as I hope it does you. But maybe I’ll post even less on social media and skip next month’s newsletter. Life this year has felt big in many ways and there is more to come, including my eldest starting school in September. So I feel a real tug to strip everything bare, to let fall away all that doesn’t serve me and melt into time together with my loved ones.

It takes great effort to not just say those words, but to act upon them too. As with most things though, we can trust our bodies know the way, following the path of joy and pleasure. So let’s listen. To ourself, our beautiful body, the wind in the trees. Let’s choose to be as present as we can be. Bare feet on warm earth, fragrant flowers in our kitchen, salt from the sea on our skin, hands to hold.

Let’s remember what true rest feels like 💛
