Sending everyone so much love 💞

I am so touched by how lovely everyone is who comes on my groups and courses, & what amazing transformations happen when participants tap into their inner wisdom and start listening to their own truth and letting go of the conditioned & limiting beliefs they've inadvertently adopted until now.

I prefer working with small groups because I feel this provides the best environment for personal growth. Most of my womens groups & retreats have an absolute maximum number of 8 participants....and often it's only 4 or 5...so there's plenty of time for one-to-one attention if you need it, & a depth of safety & connection that is much harder to find in a larger group.

I am in awe of life coaches like Mel Robbins and Mandy Morris, who work successfully with huge groups, but small works for me! 🥰

You may have noticed that I offer a few different courses at Art of Ceremony, and I've had a few requests to give a succinct outline of these on here, so here goes: these are what I will be offering in 2026 -

1. "Sanctuary": Replenishing, nourishing, empowering women's retreats held amongst wild nature and sacred places.

2. "Peri-meno-pausing; The Art of Change": inspiring, empowering, enlightening womens groups and workshops to find the treasure amongst the challenges of our perimenopausal years.

3. "Becoming an Elder" : a new offering of groups and workshops for post-menopausal women. An opportunity to become more of who we want to be, step more deeply into our wisdom, wildness and purpose and fine tune our intuition.

4. "This Sacred Year". Ongoing monthly womens' gatherings that celebrate & honour the changing seasons & use nature's cycles and changes as metaphors and guides for our own growth, learning & blossoming.

For the first time ever I am going to be offering online "membership" options as well as my in person Cornwall-based groups and retreats. These memberships will include access to online meditations, workbooks, videos and facebook groups to enhance your in-person attendance or give those of you who aren't based in Cornwall - or aren't able to get to come in person - the opportunity to tune into the magic of this work from your own home.

If you'd like more details please sign up to my mailing list - links on my instagram bio or via website

I am running my next residential women's Retreat in a gorgeous setting in West Cornwall if you do!

Maximum group size is 7, & there are 4 spaces remaining. Full details can be found via my bio on Instagram or visiting my website

I am so lucky to have found 'work' that is (as Kahlil Gibran wrote) "love made visible".

My work gives me the opportunity to be creative, flexible, heartful and soulful. It allows me to celebrate the beauty and magic of outer and inner landscapes. I get to be outside when I choose, to express myself freely and to make deep and lasting connections with students and group participants.

Above all, I love that each aspect of my work can make a difference to folk's wellbeing; that I can inspire and encourage and bring peace. What a privelege 🥰

Hi! Whether you're here for the first time or a regular, I am so glad you've found me.
I'm Claire Lucas & I live & work in the far West of Cornwall. According to one of my long-term women's group participant "Claire brings an infectious joy for life to everything she does", and with over 30 years experience as an artist, art tutor, arts for health practitioner and personal growth workshop facilitator I am feeling well-prepared to be a sensitive and loving pair of hands in these challenging times.

I'd love to hold a safe and sacred space for you to find your way to growth, healing, inner peace and joy, whether online or in person, and i'll be sharing the How, What and Why of my deepening focus on transformational and restorative work with women over the coming weeks.

Please share my posts & website details with anyone who you feel would benefit - details of all my offerings for 2026 will follow in the next few weeks and you can find the link in my bio to sign up to my mailing lists.

Glad to have you here & look forward to seeing you again 🥰

Hi my lovelies. This is for any Penzance local who's approaching or already in their peri-menopausal years. (If you're post-menopausal, please keep an eye out for details about a group coming soon for you too!)
I have been running a course called "Art of Change" for over 15 years now, & have facilitated several ongoing perimenopausal women's groups over this time too. Although talking about this life-transition is much less taboo now than it was for previous generations it can still be a challenging time & in my experience it is so much easier to find the treasures & overcome the challenges if one is part of a heartful & soulful group.
This evening at the gorgeous Hive in Penzance, on December 9th, is a taster session where you'll have a chance to touch base with your feelings and thoughts about the perimenopause & to take a step on this "Passage to Power" journey together.
Bookings can be made directly to me, Claire Lucas, on whatsapp 07532174802

When I have a wave of self-doubt, or find myself feeling like the path ahead is being muddied by my fears, I often pick some 'oracle' cards to inspire and guide me.

Last week I used the 'Virtues Project' cards, & picked Grace, Devotion and Discernment. Devotion is a card I often pick (by 'pick' I mean, shuffle the pack & cut it to reveal the 'pick'; ie it's a way of receiving guidance from beyond the ego/conscious mind...so I suppose you might say the card picks me!). I love to be reminded that what I am doing is passionately, wholeheartedly focusing on my life's purpose....it's as simple as that. And the riches; the true wealth that comes ftom living this life is immeasurable.

The more I focus on what really matters to me, the quiter the self-doubts and fearful stories become.

So, here I am, waiting to write the next chapter of my life, & feeling immensely blessed to be part of a community - here in West Penwith - that doesn't just allow me to be me...it actively encourages ne to become more & more of me 🥰

I am so excited! I already have 2 women booked onto my March Retreat.

All the details can be found on my website: www.artofceremony.co.uk and I am offering a 10% early bird discount for any bookings made before winter solstice.

It's a week long, fully residential retreat in the most beautiful setting. It will be a wonderful way to welcome the return of the light.

As the sap rises in the trees around us and the Cornish spring flowers blossom in the woods and hedgerows, it's the perfect time to tune into what you want to use your energy for in the spring and beyond; to seek, to clarify and to nurture the seeds, the shoots and the buds of the next chapter of your life.

If it sounds like something you'd like to do, you're welcome to private message me to arrange a chat before you book. xx

In September I ran a residential women's retreat at Rosemerrynwood in Lamorna. It was one of the most profoundly moving groups I've ever facilitated, and it has spurred me on to plan more! The next one will be in March, and more details will follow.

For now though, here's some of the lovely feeback from the last one:

"The Retreat was unquestionably the best break I have had for years. It was so perfectly and painstakingly planned in every respect.

The house was wonderful and the perfect place to host a retreat.

The food was remarkable; the best and healthiest ingredients creatively made into exquisite meals.

Claire is an exceptionally skilled facilitator with a very nurturing presence. She uses many different techniques, incorporating lots of lovely activities.

The group were all kindred spirits whose company I enjoyed very much. We laughed and cried together and came away replenished, refreshed and more in tune with ourselves."

I've just spent a few days visiting my parents, who live on the Malvern Hills. It's about as far away as you can get from the sea, but is blessed with the most beautiful trees. I always try to visit at this time of year because the autumn colours up there are stunning (most of the leaves around my house get blown off before they get a chance to change colour!)

I am so grateful to still have my parents. They are in their late 80's....and we are starting to have intense conversations about the body's ageing process and their mortality. It feels surprisingly natural and down to earth to do so. Although we have always been a loving family, I have spent most of my life feeling like we were from different planets, but it turns out it's never too late to connect, to communicate and to find mutual understanding and respect. I feels like such a gift to spend this time with them.

As I approach my next decade (I'll be 60 in March) I am more and more committed to understanding and respecting myself as much as I do other people! Isn't it odd how we don't always do that? As I begin to do this, I realise how important it is to honour my "calling"; what a privilege it is to have found a way of working that makes my heart sing, and how crazy it is that I've not yet been brave enough to jump into that work with both feet..... That time is here now though!!

I have lots of news to share with you in the coming weeks about upcoming Art of Ceremony dates, so please do follow me to find out more xx

Heavenly massage yesterday...they just keep getting better & better, thank you .massage ...i'm a very lucky - & proud - Mama.
As the cold weather and longer nights draw in, my body needs treats! All summer I am barefoot & sun-kissed, but the winter presses me indoors & if i'm not careful I end up cooking & eating more than exercising!! Having one of Kia's massages reminds me to love my body & treasure it. Essential!
