Shamans Rest

15/12/2025

Nellie’s Wood 🌳

Opening early Spring 2026, this beautiful Peak District woodland will become a place for:
✨ Sound baths beneath the trees
✨ Drumming circles & seasonal ceremonies
✨ Grounding, healing & reconnection with the land
✨ Small, intimate gatherings guided by nature

This land carries a gentle, ancient energy — a space to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember who you are when the world goes quiet.

More details will be shared as the seasons turn…
For now, we honour the land, listen to its wisdom, and prepare the path 🌙

Watch this space.

With love,
Andrew

SHAMANIC INSIGHT: WHY SOME RELATIONSHIPS DON’T WORK ✨

Not every soul who walks into your life is meant to stay.
Some arrive as teachers.
Some arrive as mirrors.
And some arrive simply to shift the energy of your path.

In shamanic wisdom, relationships are soul contracts — agreements made long before we are born. These contracts aren’t always about lifelong partnership… sometimes they’re about healing, awakening, or remembering who you truly are.

A relationship doesn’t “fail” because it ends.
It completes because the lesson is learned.

Sometimes two people travel together only for the part of the journey where their energies match. When one soul grows, or the path changes direction, Spirit gently separates them so they can continue evolving.

💚 If it feels heavy, stuck, or painful — the contract may be finished.
💛 If it feels expansive, safe, and aligned — the path continues.

Honour the connections that shaped you.
Release the ones that restricted you.
And trust that Spirit will always guide the right souls back into your life at the perfect moment.

Because in shamanic truth:
Nothing real is ever lost… it simply transforms.

🕊️ The Shamanic Meaning of the Heron 🕊️

When a Heron appears, it carries a powerful shamanic message.
This graceful bird teaches patience, precision, and complete trust in your own path.

Heron energy reminds you to:
✨ Stand tall in your truth
✨ Move at your own pace
✨ Step into calm self-reliance
✨ Hunt for opportunities with quiet confidence
✨ Rise above emotional fog and see life from a higher view

If the Heron has shown itself to you recently, it’s a sign that you are entering a phase of inner stability and spiritual clarity. Your intuition is sharpening, and the way forward is becoming clear.

Walk your path like the Heron — steady, wise, and utterly unshakable.

Life is like a river.
Sometimes it flows calm and gentle… sometimes it winds around boulders that test our strength.
There are days of waterfalls where everything feels like it’s crashing at once,
and days of rapids where life moves faster than we can breathe.

But eventually, the waters always return to calm.
Every twist, every surge, every still pool is a lesson from Spirit — guiding us, shaping us, teaching us to trust the flow.

Keep going. The river knows the way.
