I've been so blessed these past few months with all the wonderful photography shoots I've been able to do out in the woods! Here are some more of my favourites, this time of a recent shoot I did for my friends Andrea and Michael at Magdalene Frequency Oils. Andrea is a wise and dear sister of mine whose presence in my life has been extremely healing, I work with Magdalene Frequency Oils oils daily and would be lost without them now!

Thank you for allowing me to hold space for you both and capture your beauty and your essence 🥰❤

Mens Circle
Tuesday 30th September
7-9:30pm
Wakefield

We sit around the fire, no doubt we will be appreciating the warmth of the fire even more now as the temperature starts to drop.

A chance to speak and be heard, a chance to listen and a chance to be still.

I keep these quite small with space for 10 men maximum but usually only 5 or 6 so it’s not overwhelming.

I like it this way, it helps me feel more comfortable and gives people time to talk if they feel like it.

£5 or £10 whatever is affordable for you if u can’t afford that but still would like to come, dm me .108

Any questions please ask 🙏🏼

🌒✨ Women's Gathering for the Solar Eclipse ✨🌒

On Sunday 21st September, 1–3:30pm I’m opening a circle in a beautiful woodland in Wakefield for women to come together in song, ceremony and connection with the earth. 🌳💫

I will gently guide you to sing ancient vowel sounds – activating the inner realms, harmonising with the wellbeing frequencies of the earth, and learning simple songs gifted by nature. I believe these sounds can bring harmony not just to our bodies, but also to the land. Our ancestors once sang with and to the land on days like this, until such practices were silenced over 1000 years ago. I believe now is the time to reclaim this wisdom!

🎶 This is not about performing or “sounding good.” You do not need to be a singer. It’s about resonance, intention, and weaving sound waves of love, peace and gratitude into the earth and into ourselves.

We’ll share songs, hold each other in presence, and let the energies of the eclipse guide us into deep connection.
To ground our voices and hearts, I’ll be offering acorn coffee – a nourishing, caffeine-free elixir rich in antioxidants and rooted in the wisdom of the sacred oak tree. 🌰☕ If you’d like a cup, a small donation of £2 would be gratefully received.

✨ This is a free event – all you need to bring is your voice, your presence, and your desire to be part of this moment of harmony.
Message me if you’d like to come and I’ll share the address.

Let’s gather under the eclipse, sing with the land, and remember the old ways together. 🌒🌿💛

I've not written a blog for a while, even though a part of me has been eager to write about the transformational couple of months I've had. But for all the eagerness to write, I've just not had the words.

Then an experience happened this week that found me feel so safe, so at peace, so in love with being grounded in my body in the here and now, that today I couldn't help but write to integrate and express what's happening within me right now.

And the words decided to flow in the shape of a poem.

I also decided to combine it with a picture I've had for many years but have never shared before, one I took a few years ago at the start of my journey calling back the lost parts of myself. I see the woman in the picture and remember how close she was to giving up, having just experienced something that forced her to listen to the wisdom of her body, and the loving whispers of life, for the first time, both urging her to keep going.

And how glad I am that she did.

(Interesting that this picture was taken on a beach in Wales, the place that has aided in my transformation this year!).

Being able to create this level of peace and safety for myself, just by being in my body and embracing all that it's feeling, is a kind of treasure I never thought possible.

But here I am.

Home at last.

❤

✨ Wow… last week was one of the most incredible weeks of my year so far. It ended with a gorgeous retreat to Wales but began with a photoshoot for my wonderful Norse Sister Jenny from Moonlight Lady 1111

What I love about this kind of photography is the connection I get to experience not just with the people I work with but with land and spirit too. I also love creating safe spaces for people to feel confident in front of the lens, to express their authenticity and beauty, and to let their magic shine through.

It was such an honour to capture Jenny in all her wisdom and power, watching her explore and embrace different parts of herself. You can feel the shift in energy when she put on her black witchy dress and began working with the smoke, it was absolutely electric to witness and capture!

The whole process was healing for me too, as I let the land and spirit guide the camera… and the healing continued when I saw Jenny again just two days later for a healing session like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I swear the magical energy is still working on me! ✨

Thank you Jenny, for trusting me to hold that space for you and sharing your magic with me. I can’t wait to create even more magic together. 🌙

✨ New blog just landed:

“Is There a Healing Temple Hidden Under Ripon Cathedral?” 👀

I spent the day with the wonderful Shanon from Wish's Art last Friday, chanting in an ancient underground chapel, talking with trees, and singing to ancient stones, basically doing all things delightfully heathen and quite possibly annoying the ghost of a medieval Archbishop (HURRAH).

Thank you Shannon for letting me photograph you in all your radiance, for sharing your wisdom with me, and for also very patiently put up with a lot of spontaneous chanting, humming, and general witchery (Check the blog to hear the kinds of sounds she graciously endured 😅)

Since our trip to Ripon Cathedral and the 7 Sisters stone site, I've felt lighter, more grounded, and more ME. It's got me to thinking, what if these sacred spaces amplify not just fear (as they were once perhaps used for), but also healing? What if they were in fact once used as portals for joy, release, and remembering?

🌿 Ever sung songs to a spring, cried under trees, laughed until your belly ached, and left the woods feeling like the Earth has just revealed it's deepest secrets with you? 🌿

This is what I experienced this week and which I've written about in my latest blog, of a journey to a sacred spring in Wakefield (honestly, the magic that's woven into my life since I've started researching and visiting ancient springs!), as well as the magic that happens when you feel safe enough to really be yourself in front of others ❤️

I am so grateful to all the women who have fully embraced and accepted me as I am throughout my life, who have witnessed me, celebrated me, held me, and reminded me that being me is more than enough. You know who you are and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. On Tuesday I was lucky enough to spend the day with three of these women, three absolute Queens and power-vessels of beauty and wisdom, who have completely changed my world.

I just want to say a special thank you to Sri Matreswari from Simply Spiritual Healing for snapping a few pictures of me in my absolute element, even if I do look like I’m wearing pyjamas😄 I don't often get chance to be on the other side of the lens, so thank you! The other incredible women in these pictures are Simire from Nionga, Nioka Nsimire Afrikan yoga and Andrea from Magdalene Frequency Oils - I totally recommend you check out their amazing offerings!

Here's a little snippet:

"To worship the Waters feels so natural to me. To sing, to kneel, to offer my joy. There is a longing in me, not to take from her, but to merge with her. To honour the land in this way is also an act of seeking, a seeking to connect to my ancestors, the ancient nature tribes of Europe and Britain. It feels to me these people saw Water as a tangible expression of the Spirit that flows through and gives life to all things."

Also...there’s something so healing about being witnessed in your full expression while held in nature and in sisterhood. I love capturing the beauty of these moments through the lens.

I’ve been dreaming into the idea of offering photoshoot retreat days, gentle, heart-led spaces for women in business, creatives, or simply those feeling called to reconnect with themselves and express their truth in front of the camera.

✨ A Little Evolution ✨

When I went freelance last year, I chose the name Amy Charles Holistics to deliver my work, rooted in my background in wellbeing and a desire to support others in meaningful ways.

But over the past few months something has been quietly growing…
A creative rhythm.
A pull toward writing, image-making, and storytelling.
Toward creating for the sake of joy, connection, and expression.

I’ve decided it’s time for my name to reflect and align with that, so I’m now Amy Charles Creative!

I will no longer be offering 1:1 sessions, my focus going forward will be on creative group workshops, photography, and diving deeper into my writing.

Although my work hasn’t changed at its core, it’s still about creating spaces that nourish and inspire, I’m just embracing the creative thread that’s been running through it all along!

For anyone who has booked onto my upcoming workshops, I will still be using my amycharlesholistics email for the time being, so you can still reach me on there if that's how we've been communicating!

My logo and website name has changed however! www.amycharlescreative.com

Thank you for everyone who has supported me on my freelance journey so far, it really has meant the world to me! 🌀
