Some more great progress up at the farm garden today. Itās a real labour of love right nowā¦.each bed is pretty backbreaking to make, but itās all from the farm and weāre going to be growing such goodness here - both of the food variety and the well-being and community variety - that is is an utter joy!
Not to mention the physical satisfaction and sense of well-being myself, getting physical, seeing the results of my work, and spending the day in the fresh air surrounded by beautiful nature. It doesnāt get much better really, does it?!

A song thrush serenading Imbolc, 1st February, the midway point between Winter Solstice (Yule) and the Spring Equinox (Ostara).
A time of rebirth, new life stirring, new beginnings.
Whatās stirring for you right now?

Women are gathering - 15 and counting - as we have gathered for millennia around the fire at these auspicious times of the year.
Imbolc marks the midway point between Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox and makes a far mor seasonally-intuitive "New Year" than the arbitrary 1st January. I've been holding my annual online Imbolc workshop for 4 or 5 years now (I've lost count!) and it has always been a popular session for women who want to reset and refocus for the year - and years - ahead. Not from a heady place of planning and goal setting, but from a body-and-soul-led "Who am I, and what do I want from this year?"
We drop deep and ask "What would my Wild Woman do?" and "What wisdom does she hold for me?"
Want to join us?
We gather 3rd February, 7-9pm.
Pop a "Wild Woman" below and I'll send you the info!

"What a great session Jen ran last night. She helped us access our wild woman even over zoom! I fell asleep alive to possibility and will hopefully sustain some of that energy over the coming months."

Many women come to work with me because they feel theyāve lost who they are. Theyāve been so busy being everything to everyone else that they fear the spark that brings them alive has gone out.
āI donāt know what brings me joy any more.ā
āI feel like a chameleon sometimesā¦Iām being who people want me to beā¦but Iāve forgotten who I actually am.ā
āIām bored/scared/exhausted/stuck/lost.ā
They feel tamed, trappedā¦yet also know they are DONE.
They know something has to change.
That spark inside them has not gone out. Itās been dimmed, buried under the stuff of life - all the should dos and should bes and labels and rules - but itās there. Ready to be rekindled and tended and fed. Waiting for the safe space to be held and witnessed, validated and guided.
Sometimes the whispered admission of āIām not happyā, or āI really donāt have it all together as much as people thinkā, or āI want something different, something more, I justā¦donāt know whatā, brings a sense of relief. A lightening of the load. A flicker of possibility. Of hope.
I help my clients tend those flames. Breathe them back into life and protect them as they grow. Walk alongside them as that light - that inner fire - grows and starts to illuminate their way.
Itās the greatest honour, joy and privilege. Every. Single. Time.
And now is a beautiful time to be starting that journey of rekindling the spark. Weāll be exploring this in my upcoming Imbolc session on Tuesday 3rd Feb, 7-9pm.
Guided reflections, release, journaling and meditation, through the lens of taming, untaming and wildness, weāll harness the fiery energy of Imbolc and rekindle our own wild fires to carry forward into the rest of the year.
If you want to rekindle or tend to your fire this year, pop me an IMBOLC š„ below and Iāll send you the details!

Whoop whoop, we did it! You did it!!
Whilst weāre definitely still in winter, and I still encourage you to be wintering around the edges even as we start to emerge into and beyond Imbolc and the first hints of spring, hopefully this is a little boost that the light really is returning āŗļø
Although winter still holds the land, the sun begins its steady return, and the promise of life stirs beneath the soil. š

Itās back! If youāre struggling with January and want a wilder, more intuitive new year, join me for my popular Imbolc workshop.
Guided reflection, journaling and meditation, through the lens of wildness, weāll honour the turning of the year in a powerful way, letting go of last year and gently welcoming in the year ahead.
January is deep winter, hibernation time.
Let the seeds start stirring at Imbolc, with spring.

Just because Christmas is over, you donāt need to pack away the festive cheer and winter cosyness!
January can be a long, cold, dark, dreary month. Everything feels a little bare once the decorations are packed away and we return to ānormalā. We face the gloom of the looming winter ahead with a kind of grim inevitability.
Wait!!
What if you kept the best of the cosy joy of Christmas, throughout the month? Ok so the glittery decorations might go away, but how about keeping the fairy lights up? The fire on? (YouTube do some great virtual fires which add instant cosyness to the room!).
Mull some apple juice, drink hot chocolate wrapped in a snuggly blanket watching movies or reading books, making the most of dark evenings.
Play games. Do jigsaw puzzles. Eat hearty winter stews. Light the candles. Bring some fresh outdoor greenery in. Hell, even leave your tree up if you want! In medieval times they left their trees up til Imbolc, and Pagans used (fresh) evergreens to ward off evil spirits. Iāve left my tree up for another month in previous years!
The point isā¦we can either dread winter, or embrace it. Spring will come soon enough, and with it the rush of green and flooding light and then the heady long days of summer and we might look back longingly at the cosy, restful, dark times we didnāt make the most of.

Free Spirit. Wild Adventurer. Coach. Trainer. Guide. Inspirer of Courage and Reminder of Dreams.
Jen knows a thing or two about following dreams. As a well-respected, well-paid, high-flying actuary and manager in a prestigious FTSE100 Financial Services company, Jen was a glowing example of success in the corporate world. Then a painful and scary tumble into overwhelm, burnout and depression made Jen realise that actually, despite the shiny suit, a 'perfect' relationship and a beautiful house, she was not very happy at all.
Investing in a coach, Jen started to take back control of her existence and explore what she really wanted to do with her one wild and precious life. Two things came through loud and clear: Live life. Help others. Stepping off the conventional path, she took the courageous decision to move out of corporate life and follow the path of her heart; embarking on a journey of self-discovery, retraining and upskilling.
Jen combined her many years of experience in management and coaching within the corporate space with her passion for the wild to found nature-based wellbeing business WildFire Walks. She also went on to certify as a One of manyā¢ Certified Women's Coach and Trainer, graduated from the WildWise "Call of the Wild" Foundation in Outdoor Leadership programme and trained as a Voice Dialogue facilitator.
Jen works with successful, smart, professional women in their 30s and 40s who from the outside, seem happy and successful, but behind the scenes are feeling trapped, lost, with no space to breathe and feeling like something's missing. An expert at challenging long-held limiting beliefs, holding the space for vision and possibility and believing in you until you're ready to believe in yourself, Jen helps you find the courage, connection and clarity to explore what you really want from life, and then feel empowered enough to live it!
Jen is a gentle, encouraging coach much loved by her clients. With a dash of playful rebel, she gently pushes back against the "should-dos" and "should-bes" so often imposed by our culture, our upbringing, our workplaces. Jen knows what it means to succeed in the traditional corporate world...and what it's like to not want that, actually. She believes, and champions, that there is a different way.
What Jen's clients say:
Alongside supporting her clients, Jen is a keen adventurer and liver of life. Past adventures range from a charity solo walk from Land's End to John O'Groats - a life-changing and soul-affirming 1,400 mile journey - to spending a summer living off-grid in a yurt in the woods and writing about her experiences, to embracing the semi-nomadic life with a year of no fixed abode. Earlier this year Jen spent time with the indigenous San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert and is part of an action group to help preserve their ancient culture and support them in their fight against TB.
Jen is committed to continuing her own inner journey exploring truth, freedom and possibility. Her purpose: to playfully push the boundaries of what's possible in life, and to encourage and inspire other women to do the same.
