How’s everyone feeling with all the big energies and shifts? I’m in a space of needing rest and having to do all the things. The continuous balance and juggle! 🤪

Hoping to see some of you on Saturday for the pop-up. Also a reminder for 2 upcoming workshops on the 1 January and 8 February… make great gifts for yourself or loved ones. Also still offering a free bag of Passion Cacao or Bath Soak of choice with each purchase of an £88 or more gift voucher.

And can arrange local pick-up/delivery.

Blessings as we move towards the space of Solstice and deep rest! 💛🌹✨🎄❄️

Hi Lovelies,
How’s everyone? This time of year can bring up so much for all of us. Be gentle with yourselves and others. Know you don’t have to do all the things. This time of year gets really busy for me, juggling all the things before the quiet of winter.

Those who know me, know I love all things Trevor Hall! Here’s one that was written a while ago in collaboration with Slumberkins. While it’s written for the kiddos in our lives, it’s also great medicine for ourselves and inner child. Blessings and love. 🙏🏼💛✨

Deep in a place of inner pilgrimage. We were so blessed by the sunshine, warm weather, and rainless days. And I could feel the land, the trees, and animals breathe with the welcomed rains and winds, helping to bring balance to our beautiful space in the Scottish Borders. Sacred balance.

In communion with the nature beings, the birthing of the Rose Heart Temple has come into fruition… up the hills and into the forest. A temple in nature. Unbounded by bricks and mortar. Like the elders and ancients before us. The first official community ceremony will be on Saturday, 21 June in honour of the Summer Solstice. https://www.embodiedrose.com/offerings-1/p/summer-solstice-pilgrimage-ceremony

I’ve been busy with herbal crafting, medicine making, and beauty alchemy. I’m having so much fun intuiting and experimenting with new combinations, essential oils, and essences. So much energy and love has gone into making these beautiful and potent products. The evolution of the product line continues to shift, as well as the direction of the apothecary vision. What remains true is my love for plant craft and alchemy.
I hope to see you at one of the pop-ups, and will have products available for purchase online, soon. If you are around Peebles on Saturday 31st May at 11am, please join me for a free 30 minute-ish plant journey and tea immersion at A Wee Retreat. Please book-in ahead of time if possible: https://www.aweeretreat.scot/bookings

Hi Lovelies,
Happy New Moon in Pisces! As the Sun and Moon join together, this New Moon is a time of rebirth. For those born with a womb/uterus, the New Moon or the dark moon is associated with our bleed time. This is a time of going inward, to plant seeds of intention to take care of yourself.

We are in the shadow of the upcoming Venus retrograde (4 March-20 April). This 40 day cycle is an opportunity to review your relationships and how they align with what you value. What’s working, what’s not? And mostly a review of your relationship with yourself.

Crocus Medicine
As the crocus continue to push up from the cold earth, joining the blossoms of snowdrops, we are invited to dissolve rigidity and make way for new beginnings! Crocus helps us shed limiting beliefs and open to the light of hope, giving permission to receive all the possibilities that life has to offer us. Crocus helps us move out of our heads and trust in our intuition. Work with the essence of Crocus to open yourself to the blessings that are awaiting you!

Can you feel the Spring energies? The blossoming of the Crocus along the Snowdrops, the darkness of the New Moon, and the lighter days! Hope and light sit amongst the backdrop of the darkness.

On this a Valentine’s Day, may you lean into love and beauty. Shower yourself with the love of roses, and bask in the pleasures of this human body. Plant seeds of love and kindness and allow the ripple effects to blossom.

The metta bhavana meditation, translated as loving kindness, is the first of the Four Brahma Vihara meditation practices taught by the Buddha.
The meditation focuses on generating loving-kindness toward oneself and others starting with self, known individuals, and eventually to include all beings, to the seen and unseen, known and unknown, earthly and cosmically. The meditation can further extend to plant seeds into the hearts of our “enemies” or into places of darkness.

May I be happy, healthy and whole.
May I have love, warmth and affection.
May I be protected from harm, and free from fear.
May I be alive, engaged and joyful.
May I enjoy inner peace and ease.
May that peace expand into their world and throughout the entire universe.

May my family and friends be happy, healthy and whole.
May they have love, warmth and affection.
May they be protected from harm, and free from fear.
May they be alive, engaged and joyful.
May they enjoy inner peace and ease.
May that peace expand into their world and throughout the entire universe.

May all humans be happy, healthy and whole.
May they have love, warmth and affection.
May they be protected from harm, and free from fear.
May they be alive, engaged and joyful.
May all humans enjoy inner peace and ease.
May that peace expand into their world and throughout the entire universe.

May all beings be happy, healthy and whole.
May they have love, warmth and affection.
May they be protected from harm, and free from fear.
May they be alive, engaged and joyful.
May all beings enjoy inner peace and ease.
May that peace expand into their world and throughout the entire universe.

Remember you are LOVE, you are LOVED, BE the LOVE you want to see in this world. 💛🌹😘

Leaning into Beauty
Feeling to the expansive nature of this full moon in Leo, what is it that you need to feel into the regal nature of your queendom/kingdom? What needs to be spoken, released? What are your needs, what are your boundaries? What’s no longer serving?

Embrace the inner lion/lioness… sink into rest and play, be nurtured… while also expressing your fierceness. Is it a roar or a purr? There’s space for both.

Hi Lovelies,
How’s everyone? I’m feeling so much these days… holding space and witnessing the unfolding in the US… it’s a lot! So much overwhelm, fear, uncertainty, and complete shock at the blatant disregard for others. At the same time am feeling into the truth of the earth and turning of the wheel… leaning into the beauty of the snowdrops and the return of the sun.
I’ve been sitting with the world prophecy. In many traditions, this word keeps coming up. A return to the Golden Age… this feels loaded. Many believe they have to contribute to the disruption of the Earthly plane in hopes of the return of Christ. From indigenous wisdom, this is a time in which there’s an opportunity of dismantling the greed and exploitation, the othering of humans and the more-than-humans. An opportunity for us as a collective to change how we are treating one another. Sometimes it has to blow up so that we can rebuild. I continue with the prayer of grace and ease. Realising this may be grace and ease for myself, as it’s not playing out on the current political landscape. I’m leaning into hope.
I definitely feel the fear. The fear my dear friend has for her family, because of the colour of their skin. The fear my sister has that her children will not receive the much needed services for her children’s special needs. The fear for my friends and LGBTQ communities, whose rights have been written away with the executive orders. The overwhelming is planned… to keep us in a state of shock and confusion so that we don’t act, resist, fight back, plan strategy. Many are looking at leaving and escape plans. For many, this is not an option as passport services are becoming difficult to access or are being denied.
At moments I feel I’m walking in the Matrix. The only thing that feels real and when I immerse myself in the magick of nature, in ritual and ceremony, in creating herbal alchemy, and playing with loved ones. This is truth. This is what sustains. This is a time to nourish the nervous system. To slow down. This is going to be a marathon.

Doreen

We are sitting with big energies with the alignment of the planets (6 currently) and the movement of Pluto into Aquarius. We can feel this energy in our bodies and hearts, witnessing the shifting in our dream spaces and in the collective landscape. Change and shifts can bring unease. Remember to lean into the certainty of our breath, heartbeat, and the vibrations of the Earth. Ground into the truth of the knowing of the seasons and turning of the wheel. Slow down and be present with what unfurls and emerges from the Earth and from within. Tend to the inner garden of your heart and body. Be patient and gentle with yourself and others. With each rebirth, there is a death cycle making space for something new.

I was feeling the energy of the snow drops before they presented in my garden this weekend. Snowdrops are a symbol of hope and rebirth, aligning with the energies of Imbolc and the goddess Brigid!

There’s been a lot stirring beneath the earth and behind the scenes of creating! My diary is filling up with dates for ceremonies, collaborations, offerings, travels, and exploration! Mark, Isla and I went to look at a potential pilgrimage site for Spiral 2 of the To***co Rose Mysticism Immersion. We made offerings to the waters of the spring & wells, performed ritual, and bathed in her waters. And of course the snowdrops were emerging in abundance!

Tomorrow, 22 January
🌀To***co Rose Mysticism Exploration Call
11am-12pm

I will be opening up the To***co Rose Mysticism as both the 6 month Immersion and some of the spirals will be offered as stand alone modules or ceremonies for those unable to commit to the full 6 months (depending on availability and appropriateness).

**Sign up to join live and/or receive the recording. Reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule an individual exploration call.
