β€œThe closer you get to real matter, rock air fire and wood, boy, the more spiritual the world is.” ~ Jack Kerouac πŸ’šπŸŒ²

I love this quote and great authors like Kerouac, Jack London, Henry Thoreau and John Muir who not only wrote beautifully about nature but spent a lot of their time connecting to the truth of our being. Discovering what makes us human and our place in it from which we have drifted away from. Breaking free from the machine like nature of society, as John Muir put it: β€œI am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news”. Back to the essence of truth and soul.

I go out often to not only discover it for myself but to go a little deeper, to not just see nature as a hobby or pass time but to sit with it long enough to feel the jigsaw of my being snap perfectly in to place… when the quiet stillness comes over me almost as if behind the chatty of the forest there is silence. A homely feeling of belonging. Something we all share, all are entitled too and should visit often. When you feel this, the real truth of what you are shines through and nature opens up the most spiritual part of yourself.

Getting back to the elements, fire, water, earth, air is about as spiritual as it gets…. of course, why wouldn’t it be.πŸ’š

All our 2026 Moon Sauna dates are live πŸŒ‘πŸ”₯🧊

πŸ“… First gathering 14th of February (more dates on the link!)
πŸ“ Oak Tree Car Park, Hamsterley Forest, County Durham
πŸ‘₯ 10 spaces per hour

These gatherings follow the natural rhythm of the year, guided by the seasons rather than labels. Each New Moon invites us into a quieter, inward moment, a pause in the cycle where intention is set and the nervous system softens.

Held in nature and shaped by contrast therapy, these sessions work with the time of year. Heat grounds and settles the body. Cold sharpens awareness and presence. Together they help regulate the nervous system, clear mental noise, and bring us back into rhythm with the land.

Each gathering carries a seasonal tone, reflecting what the body and environment are asking for at that point in the year.

2026 Seasonal New Moon Gatherings
πŸŒ‘ Deep Winter Reset
πŸŒ‘ Late Winter Grounding
πŸŒ‘ Early Spring Renewal
πŸŒ‘ Spring Awakening
πŸŒ‘ Late Spring Expansion
πŸŒ‘ Midsummer Balance
πŸŒ‘ High Summer Vitality
πŸŒ‘ Late Summer Harvest
πŸŒ‘ Early Autumn Transition
πŸŒ‘ Deep Autumn Letting Go
πŸŒ‘ Early Winter Stillness
πŸŒ‘ Midwinter Rest

These are not performances or spectacles. They are simple, intentional rituals. A chance to step out of the noise, reconnect with nature, and begin again in a way that feels honest and embodied.

Step into the dark. Set your intention. Move with the season. πŸŒ²πŸŒ‘

πŸŒ‘ NEW MOON SAUNA SESSION
Ellerton Lake | 15th of February
πŸ”₯🧊 Fire β€’ Water β€’ Stillness

The second New Moon of the year arrives β€” a dark sky, a clean slate, a quiet invitation to begin again.

Join us at the peaceful waters of Ellerton Lake for an evening of sauna, wild water, and deep reset β€” a powerful way to welcome a new cycle in nature and within.

πŸ“ Ellerton Lake, North Yorkshire
πŸ“… Sunday 18th January

πŸŒ‘ Why the New Moon?

The New Moon is a symbol of beginnings, inner reflection, and renewal. It’s the perfect time to slow down, reconnect, and set intentions that actually feel real in the body β€” not just ideas in the mind.

This session offers space to pause… and return to your centre.

First full moon of Spring… let’s reset properly. πŸŒ•πŸŒ±

πŸŒ• WORM MOON AT THE LAKE
Sauna & Wild Swim | Ellerton Park Lake | Sunday 1st March

πŸ”₯🧊 Fire β€’ Water β€’ Rebirth

The Worm Moon is the full moon that marks the shift from winter into spring.
It’s named after the time the earth begins to soften, the ground wakes up, and life starts moving again beneath the surface.

It symbolises renewal, thawing, release, and fresh beginnings.
A reminder that even if you’ve felt stuck, heavy, or foggy… things can change quickly when the warmth returns. 🌿

By the glowing fire and the cold, dark waters of Ellerton Lake, we gather to reset the body and clear the mind:

πŸ”₯ heat to soften
🧊 cold to sharpen
πŸ’¨ breath to steady
πŸŒ• stillness to return

This is not just sauna and swim.
It’s a seasonal reset, a chance to shake off what you’ve been carrying and step into spring feeling lighter, clearer, and alive again.

πŸ“ Ellerton Park Lake, North Yorkshire
πŸ“… Sunday 1st March
⏰ Evening sessions – 1-hour slots available

✨ Why contrast therapy?
πŸ”₯ Deep heat to relax muscles + release tension
🧊 Cold immersion to sharpen focus + lift your mood
πŸ’¨ Breath-led exposure to build resilience + calm the nervous system
πŸ’€ Many people sleep so much better after
⚑ That post-session buzz: clear head, lighter body, stronger spirit

Ellerton is our sanctuary of elements.
Firelight on the lake, winter air turning into spring air, and good people beside you. πŸΊπŸŒ•
Come and meet the new season with intention (and a little wildness). 🌿

I still go and sit in the spaces he and i sat together and fill my cup with stillness. Often he would just sit by me or wait for me to end.

I visit those places often and just sit, it isn’t quite the same without him but we will always have those moments of stillness together.

I suppose that is the beauty of time, it was special because it had an end as all beautiful things do. πŸ’š

Online Yoga with Amy

THIS WEEK IS A SUNDAY MORNING SPECIAL!

Normally:
7am - 8am Saturday Mornings

Β£5.55
All levels welcome!

Beautiful Souls,
I offer with love, this beautiful ancient practise of Hatha yoga, to help us emerge from the depths of winter with strength and courage. As we release, surrender and let go of the final shedding of what no longer belongs. Can we ground into the hidden alchemy of yoga, that offers a wide range of support through each cycle of evolution and brings us into greater alignment with our inner sun and inner moon.

The balancing of masculine and feminine creates an inner shift, that is so powerful our outer world begins shift also. Creating opportunities for growth, expansion and remembrance. Throughout this month we will be working with the Sacral Chakra Svadhishthana which means β€œDwelling place of the self” which supports our desires, creativity and sensuality.

When this chakra is blocked, we may experience: Low Energy Hip Issues Lack of creativity Insecurity Lack of desire We will come together with our practise of postures, breath, meditation and mudras to restore this chakra and create a harmonious flow throughout the body, mind and soul. Let your practise become a sanctuary where you move out of past & future thinking and come into loving awareness of what is happening right there on the yoga mat.

Yoga is a potent medicine that changes your inner alchemy and reveals your true essence which is pure and perfect.

7am - 8am Saturday Mornings
Get ready to find your zen on the mat!
With love, Amy ❀️🌿
