May Morning 2026 ~ Beltane

As I waited in line at 7am in a huge crowd of people, a woman commented on my flower crown, created for me by my very talented friend. She commented that this was her first "May day" and asked what it was all about. I briefly explained that it's origins are from the Pagan celebrations of the seasons and this one specifically celebrates fertility, called Beltane. I recommend she looked it up as I moved forward and said goodbye.

So many of the celebrations we know originated from Celtic and/or Pagan roots. People who knew, worked and honoured nature and the land. They worked with it instead of against it, as did many tribal communities.

My hope above all else, for Beltane and our communities, is that we find that connection and begin to respect each other, each being and the planet with much greater ferocity.
Consumption and indulgence are part of a lot of our celebrations and modern traditions, but underneath it there is something more. Something meaningful, heartfelt and sincere. I absolutely choose to send my focus there, as often and as fully as I can.

At this months circle we spent time in nature and enjoyed great company ☺️

We also created clooties by cutting 3 lengths of ribbon and setting intentions or blessings for;
✨️ ourselves
✨️ the planet
✨️ others.

These can then be tied to something in your garden or home (being mindful of using natural fibres if somewhere in nature) This simple act of intention and care can act as a reminder when you see the ribbons and help to refocus back to your intention or blessing.

Peace Practice, week 4

On 22nd April, this coming Wednesday, we have Earth day. A day to collectively think about this amazing planet we live on.

This week I invite you to celebrate and protect nature in a way that feels achievable for you. It could be to plant something bee friendly in your garden, do something to help local wildlife, make a comitment to use & waste less or just pick up some rubbish on your way around your local area.

Science shows that by doing something for another being (which absolutely includes the planet in my opinion) we create a chemical reaction in the body releasing oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin. These neurochemicals are associated with reward and emotional balance, enhancing our mood and reducing stress.



All words used in my posts are created from my own personal practice. All images are taken of real places I have been. The photograph of the bee was taken by my daughter in April, 2025 🐝

As we watch the season change, we witness every flower and plant as they bloom in their own time. We don't judge this process we understand that it's about having the right conditions and we celebrate the changes as and when they happen.

Today, I invite you to meet yourself with the same level of patience and care. Without comparison or judgement but with love, compassion and acceptance. 🌱

As we practice this self acceptance we create a path to meeting other situations in the same way.

If meeting yourself like this feels too much right now, it's OK. You can start with something outside of yourself. Maybe a pet, a loved one or something in nature. You can gently work towards holding the same acceptance for yourself.

Above all, please know that you are worthy and deserving of compassion, acceptance and love 🤍

Peace Practice ~ Week 2
Can you remember what it was like to try to sleep on Christmas morning or before your birthday as a child? So full of wonder and excitement about what the next day would bring.

Slowly, as we get older we can loose touch with this wonder, and the surprises become fewer and further between. That doesn't mean we have lost the ability to access this excitement and joy, far from it. It's always there; a cheeky smile on a grandparents face or a twinkle in someones eye when they interact with younger children, teaching them old tricks!

I invite you to find a little bit of magic today and access that wonder within you. Maybe it's in the laughter of a child, a hidden chocolate treat or something in nature. Can you remember the excitement when experiencing something for the first time?

See if you can you pay this joy forward in any way over the next week, to a stranger or a friend.

Peace Practice ~ Week 1

is week as our days continue to lengthen, I invite you to create the time for yourself to spend 5 minutes outside. This could be your garden, a forest or a park. Take a couple of deep breaths and start to notice how you feel, or what's around you in that moment. Enjoy the sounds and sensations around you, cultivating an intentional moment of complete peace without any pressure.

When you're ready, notice if anything has changed about how you feel. Are you feeling softer or calmer in anyway? Meet yourself with curiosity instead of judgement, as much as you can.

~

You can tap in to this anytime you need to get out of your head and back in to your body & the present moment.

I have decided to start working on a regular peace practice, building it from the inside so that it can ripple into my personal environment and out to the wider world.

Each Sunday, I invite you to join me in creating intentional moments of peace in your life.

I will offer a suggested short practice (5-10 minutes long) for you to use each week that will be completely accessible for anyone, no need for experience or special equipment.

I'm looking forward to starting this journey and seeing where it leads 🌱🌀

The Chinese year of the snake if now behind us, the year of endings and shedding what no longer serves us. Today we begin to step into the year of the Fire Horse, a yang year of new beginnings and forward motion.

We also have a solar eclipse happening today and 2 major planets aligning in Aries in a few days time. There's a lot of fire energy ready to ignite our dreams and passions, but be careful to use this with consciousness and avoid burning ourselves out!

A beautiful circle on Thursday evening celebrating Imbolc. We moved through a relaxation using breath work and followed a 3 part ritual focused around release and renewal. ✨️🌱

Strong messages for me this season are to take things slowly, have compassion for myself and others and to be courageous.

All will happen in good timing, enjoy the journey 💫

Imbolc, the space between the exhale of winter and the inhale of Spring.
A time of stillness, hope and potential. Dreaming into what might be ✨️

Tomorrow we meet at the Yurt to ponder these themes together, shedding those final layers from the year of the Snake and preparing for the Year of the Horse.
