ITS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
I send this communication to you all, with mixed feelings. I have a heavy sadness in my heart, as I say goodbye to you all, as the founder of Soulful Woman Rising. However, I am also sensing a rising in my heart, in excited anticipation for continuing our connection in a more aligned way.
Since re-locating to Wales two years ago, I’ve experienced a huge vibrational shift, that has influenced me personally and professionally. It created the need for me to pace myself in relation to work, so that I had ample time to commit to healing, integration and embodiment. I have spent much time in chosen isolation, which I also affectionately relate to as my cave. This has allowed me to spend time in ceremony with various plants such as dandelion, hawthorn, rose and mugwort, as well as cacao. The plants have been a welcomed medicine that have gifted me insights and direction.
I now fully realise why I was called to move to Wales. The sacred lands here, have helped me to remember and reclaim my sacred essence and gifts on a new, deeper level. I have visited many sacred sites that are within waking distance or a short drive from my home. These sites and the wisdom of the ancient ancestors that resided there once upon a time, have ignited the re-emergence of my inner Medicine Woman.
On my transitional journey, I came to I understand that I had repressed this archetype, not just in this, but also in other lifetimes. I had a deep fear of persecution, that was running in my red thread, that required my attention. I began consciously working with this as a theme in October 2022, in honour of my grandmother. I have never met my grandmother in life, as she was sectioned when my mother was a girl of 10 years old. However, I have had the pleasure of meeting her spirit and working with her. In May this year, she was welcomed into the Celtic Roundhouse by the ancient ones and her spirit is now at peace.
The story is a long one, so I won't go into it in full here. However, I would like to share the main threads that wove a cloak of invisibility, that I had unconsciously placed over myself. A cloak of protection, to prevent me from experiencing the same generational experience. The threads include fear of persecution, betrayal, abandonment, judgment and rejection. Yep, there was much to work through, on behalf of myself and my maternal line.
When I begin to unravel the threads of my inherited beliefs, emotional trauma and behavioural patterns, it felt overwhelming. Maybe you've experienced that sense too? It almost felt like it was too heavy a burden to carry and heal. I had some amazing sisters encouraging me and supporting me though, and of course very understanding clients, who knew that I would show up in service when I could. Thank you all for being so patient and tolerant. Words can't express how grateful I am to you for your continued trust in me. I am so honoured to have a circle of such incredible women, who offered me space to walk my talk.
What emerged from this valuable healing time, is the next level of service. I was shown that for women and men to heal the separation that exists in society, it is key that we come together in circle. Through the power of circle, we can gain understanding of each others gender challenges, have compassion for each others experiences and heal the gender wounds of separation. This is why it is time to say goodbye. Soulful Woman Rising does not align to mixed gender offerings. In a weeks time, Soulful Woman Rising will morph into its new form; The Medicine Tent®.
It has been my pleasure for the last three years to serve all of the women who felt called to Soulful Woman Rising. I feel deeply honoured to have sat in circle with so many of you, to have worked on a one-to-one basis and shared retreats, as well as hosting some of you at my home in Snowdonia. I would like to invite you to join me on my adjusted path. As of today, you can register at The Medicine Tent® by clicking on the link below. For those who register before the 1st November, I am offering a place in my '11.11 Live Online Journey Circle'.

I would be most grateful if you could share with friends and on your social media channels too. With current algorithms, it can be difficult to be seen in a sea of noise and content. Your help in being able to reach as many people as possible, is appreciated.
With loving blessings, from my heart to yours
