You Are Sacred

An excerpt :::

from this month’s newsletter

You are not separate from the Earth we’re celebrating this week. You are part of it. And that is something worth pausing for.

✨ imagine a renewed world ✨

How do you find refuge in your daily life?

How do you allow space for joy?

These are some of the questions we pose at every OYA Retreats session. No matter if an urban or a weekend retreat. We believe that integration is the key.

It is helpful to step away, to get outside the noise to recalibrate. And yet, we have to work to bring the insights and clarity we gain when we step away into our daily lives, our daily routines.

With so much chaos and violence and uncertainty in the world, our capacity to dream of something different, a world built on love and kindness may feel unimaginable. But, that’s the con. It’s absolutely possible and within reach.

take refuge • integrate • dream 💫

When you’re not keen on a pregnancy photoshoot… but end up kinda sorta doing one anyway 🤰🏾✨

Thank you so much for capturing me in a way that feels soft, honest and—dare I say—beautiful. I don’t usually feel photogenic, and I’m rarely a fan of photos of myself, but these… these feel genuinely lovely.

My first pregnancy looked very different. I barely shared anything publicly, mostly because I was deep in hyperemesis gravidarum (HG)—a level of sickness and nausea that’s hard to put into words. I leaned on resources like but emotionally, it felt incredibly isolating. I didn’t speak much about it, and I quietly grieved not feeling the joy I thought pregnancy would bring.

And yet—when my baby arrived earthside, something shifted. There was light again. 🌞🌻

Now here I am, round two… and whew, the HG is even worse 😅

But this time, I’ve done things differently.

I told my people earlier. I’ve tried not to disappear.
Exhibitions with . Christmas markets with . Birthday moments with . Showing up for a photoshoot (thanks & 💛). Small, meaningful ways of staying connected to life outside of the nausea.

All of this while OYA Retreats steps into its 10-year milestone 🥹✨

And here’s the truth: OYA has never been just me.
It is held, shaped, and carried by an incredible collective of community builders—and an even wider circle of you, who show up, open up, and make it what it is.

As I prepare to step into maternity leave, I feel so much trust.
Our Early May Bank Holiday retreat 🧘🏽‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️
Our upcoming urban retreat (stay tuned 👀). The magic will continue—beautifully—while I gently move into the background.

Physically? I am *struggling*.
Mentally, emotionally? I feel like the little engine that could.

Thank you, community. Always. 🖤🤎

Sometimes the magic ✨ is in who you didn’t come with…

In this reel, one of our guests shares how quickly connection unfolded—how, within such a short space of time, the group felt so aligned it was as if every single person had been hand-selected.

That’s the power of intentional space. Of slowing down. Of being in a room where everyone has said yes to themselves.

Whether you arrive with a friend or on your own, something beautiful happens here: community finds you. 🖤🤎💛
