Cutting away what no longer serves. Working with the shadow side , reflecting and polishing the rough edges of trauma . Forgiveness of self and of others .

A huge thank you to to the many brave souls who joined this mornings Sunrise Stillness. The howling wind drove us off the beach to a sheltered patch of grass where we huddled and cleansed our energy with our Kyanite Brooms .
Julie Anne picked the card for the collective.
From the Moon Witch oracle cards, Waxing Gibbous, It’s okay to change the direction.
Have a beautiful week 🎃👻🧙‍♀️

Sunrise stillness
Saturday 1st November , 2025
Seaton Carew Beach
Down the steps opposite the Norton Hotel
7.10 for 7.15 start

Embracing the energy of Samhain , the time of the final glimmer of life before entering the time of death and hibernation .
A perfect time for reflection and release. As the trees shed their leaves we will follow their lead .
Using our Black Kyanite Broom we will reach into the dark and dusty recesses of our energy body and sweep away what no longer serves us for our greatest good. Tear down the energetic cobwebs that prevent the harmonious, balanced flow we need for optimum health and well being.
🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹

You will need a mat or a chair on which to lie or sit, a blanket, a pillow, warm clothing and a drink .
No experience is required. All we ask is you come with an open heart and an open mind☀️☀️☀️
This is a free event.

"Forget about enlightenment.
Sit down wherever you are
And listen to the wind singing in your veins.
Feel the love, the longing, the fear in your bones.
Open your heart to who you are, right now,
Not who you would like to be,
Not the saint you are striving to become,
But the being right here before you, inside you, around you.
All of you is holy.
You are already more and less
Than whatever you can know.
Breathe out,
Touch in,
Let go..."

Yet another stunning morning for the final Sunrise Stillness for this year .
Thank you to each of you who joined this morning, familiar and new . And a huge thank you to each of you who have taken the time to make the time to invite in stillness into their Saturday mornings since May .
It was a super busy morning at Seaton Carew with birthday celebrations and skinny dip excitement . Thank you Susan and Julie for the cake and pink bubbly 🍰🥂
The card for the collective this week was picked by Lisa .
Sedna, from the Goddesses knowledge Cards by Susan Seddon Boulet and Michael Babcock.
Sedna was sacrificed by her father in order for him to save himself. He cast her into the sea from his boat, chopping off her fingers as she clung on for her life . Her fingers turned into whales, seals and other creatures of the sea and Sedna descended to rule the Eskimo underworld.
Sedna reminds us that we can find nourishment even in the places and spaces we fear the most . 🦭🐋🐳
Have a beautiful week . 💕

In life, not every cup offered to you is meant for your well-being. Some cups are filled with wisdom, love, and truth—while others may be laced with toxicity, deceit, or hidden intentions.

When you are desperate for approval, attention, or companionship, you may be tempted to accept whatever is handed to you. But desperation blinds judgment. And when you drink from every cup, you risk being poisoned—emotionally, mentally, or even spiritually.

👉 Be wise. Not every smile is genuine.
👉 Be selective. Not every opportunity is pure.
👉 Be smart. Not every relationship nourishes your soul.

In Buddhism, the Buddha often reminded us to be mindful of the company we keep. “As a bee gathers nectar without harming the flower, so should one live among others.” This means moving with awareness—taking in what is good, leaving behind what is harmful, and protecting the purity of your own heart.

Remember, your peace of mind is priceless. Guard it carefully. True strength is not in saying yes to everything—it is in having the clarity to say no when something does not align with your values, your path, or your well-being.

💡 Wisdom is knowing which cups to refuse. Strength is having the courage to refuse them.

Choose carefully what you allow into your heart, your mind, and your life—for not every offering is a blessing.
