Took a walk on the beach yesterday morning to soak up the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse energy and see what the sea had to say.
It’s fair to say she was processing some deep stuff 😁And looked pretty wild! Any one else?...🤔😵💫
“If ever there was a day when you could viscerally feel why other civilisations felt like the moods of the ocean were expressions of the gods, it’s today.
The ocean is absolutely raging. Every time I try and get to the shore, to the waters edge it feels like I’m being physically blown back up the beach again. When I walk towards the seashore the waves seem to crash a little further up the beach, like she’s trying to chase me away!
Everything that is on the seabed has been churned up, so she’s really murky and muddy, everything that’s underneath has been brought to the surface. And what has been brought to the surface is being pounded by the waves. And she doesn’t want anyone near her whilst this is going on. It’s serious turbulence!
And yet amongst that, there is beautiful bright white foam coming the surface of the water and moments when the sun breaks through and creates this incredible golden light on the waves.
What a day.”

We can fall foul of the myth that needing help is a personal failure. We all need help. We are a collective. We are creatures of the pack. Our heritage is tribal. As our needs and our strengths ebb, flow and change we are able to offer different kinds of support to others, specific to their needs. Others will have their own unique ways of supporting us. This I know for certain, our 'low' times, when we feel we are close or beyond capacity, when we can't see a way out, ultimately increase our empathy and our ability to support others, when the time comes. There is no winning or failing here. Just humans, mining for inner courage, and muddling onwards. It is imperative that we help one another, and asking for help is part of the dance. As Ram Dass says, "We are all just walking each other home." #consciousbreathing #community #selfcare #selflove #unconditionallove #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #breathworkcommunity #loveandrespect #peaceandlove #selfdevelopment #consciouscommunity #consciousconnectedbreathwork #consciousconnectiondevon
November 6th is on my mind 😊🧡✨ 4-6pm @RevitaliseStudios in Topsham ~ Let's Breathe together and Be together. Keeping well & grounded in our bodies and in our breath. Moving through these darkest months in connection, and prioritising our wellness, to sustain ourselves and for the benefit of our bodies, our minds, our souls and all those around us. 🙏🍂❤️ #revitalise #yogastudios #yogatopsham #consciousconnectedbreathwork #breathwork #breathworkdevon #wellnessdevon #consciousconnectiondevon
🍂'Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go'🍂 So how come letting go can sometimes feel so very sad, and uncomfortable? And if letting go is so good, why does it feel so hard? I went to the forest to speak with the experts, and it turns out that nothing lasts, and nothing disappears. But releasing things allows them, and us to continue on in our constant process of evolution. Release and Transform. If you are interested in learning more about this topic, get thee to the woods, or a nearby tree. They are waiting to show you how. 🍂✨🙏🌳🧡 #treelover #druidry #naturewisdom #treewisdom #forestbathing #forest #wildwood #wildwoodtarot #folklore #naturesway #oldways #consciousbreathing #consciousconnectedbreathwork #consciousconnectiondevon
You're not sh*t at resting. We all need different things from rest. And the way in which we rest our minds and bodies will be different during different chapters of our lives. Start to notice your inner dialogue when you need or desire rest. What does it whisper to you about your relationship to stopping or being still? If being still feels uncomfortable for you, can you find rest in a gentle activity? Rest can be found in a change of tempo. Rest can be found in present moment awareness, that includes being lost in music 🎶 Singing or grooving to whatever your heart wants to hear in that moment. Please don't write off resting because being still is not comfortable, safe or available to you. Allow some curiosity around 'what does rest feel like for me?' and listen in for your body's answer. I'd love to hear what rest feels like for you. ✨🍂✨ #rest #deeprest #slowliving #breathwork #consciousconnectedbreathing #consciousbreathwork #thesacredpause #restisbest #resting #nervoussystem #slowingdown #consciousliving #wellbeingdevon #consciousconnectiondevon
Rest comes in many guises, and it isn't always that elusive nap, or 8 hour sleep that we think will recharge and refresh us. These are 3 of the ways that I crave rest. ✨Deep Bodily Rest ✨Change ✨Loving Connection We all need space to rest. What kind of rest is your body craving? #deeprest #slowliving #restisbest #breathworkhealing #transformationalbreath #consciousconnectedbreathing #consciousconnectedbreathing #autumnvibes #sacredrest #consciousconnectiondevon
The weekend has landed! What a special bunch of people we have arriving today! I am so excited to welcome all the practitioners, teachers, facilitators and space holders into the Healing Village today. The sun is shining and we're so ready for this Beautiful weekend! 🌞☀️✌️❤️ #beautifuldaysfestival #beautifuldays22 #thehealingvillageatbeautifuldays
We have just completed our final Circle of the Summer cycle, and it feels poignant and potent 😊❤️🔥 Poignant because we've journeyed together through the last 7 weeks, discovering each other and ourselves in the light of total acceptance, vulnerability, and loving support. We've created bonds sharing memories and setting intentions. With every Thursday that's rolled around we've cleared space to sit together and be fully present for ourselves and for one another. I always leave the space feeling 'THIS is what connection is! THIS is how open-hearted we can be!' And it touches me so deeply to witness women speaking together in total honesty, safe in this beautiful space. Potent, because we close this cycle at the new moon in Leo, and we pad onwards and into our next chapter more sure of our Selves, and bolstered by the mutual support of our sisters. Though not in the same physical space, somewhere out there is the pride, or pack, just a roar or a howl away. The ground we have covered together nourishes us. The magic of the Circle will continue to hum around us. The world looks different now, brighter, deeper. We are more connected. We don't make the Circle. We step into the Circle that our ancestors carved out for us, and we tend the fires for those that come after. With deep bows, for all our relations 🙏🔥 #sistercircle #sistercircles #womentogether #femininerising #womensupportingwomen #hearthfire #goddessenergy #wildwoodtarot #sharingcircle #heartcentered #newmoon #newmoonleo #newmoonleo22 #consciousconnectiondevon

☀️What does it mean to transform? ☀️The gargantuan power of Love. ☀️Children, and their Teachers. Happy End of Term to everyone! What's Ending for you? And what do you want to begin? Transformation is a fancy word for becoming what you absolutely already Are. 'Permission to be Totally Me please Miss?' Granted. #transformationalbreath #transformationalcoaching #consciousconnectedbreathing #integrativebreathwork #teaching #adventuresafterteaching #thepoweroflove #consciousconnectiondevon
A 3 minute musing on PRODUCTIVITY, which may look a lot like PROCRASTINATION. Not the post I was paddling towards, but the one that has emerged, so here it is 😃 I have dyspraxia. Often this feels a lot like being sh*t at Life, things that should be easy and quick take forever, simply because I cannot settle and think in a straight line and complete the task. I love that there are more conversations happening about nurodivercity now. I wish nurodivercity was easier to spell. I have quite a lot more to say about this, about asking for help, living in spirals in a linear world, shame and the fine art of Pretending to be On Top of Things. But right now I must get back to my list, now, where did I put it. I'll just find a pen, and put the kettle on. Anyone else?

It's a little late as I was at the beach! 😊 If you've watched my Strawberry Moon reel you may have picked a card that calls to you. Here is my reading of those cards plus some musings on this Super Sagittarius Moon. What an evening! Liquid silver water, peachy skies and a whole lot of lovely folk embracing the luna ecstatic call of the sea 💫🌊 It honestly thrills me to my core to see so many following some ancient call to shed clothes and dive in of a Full Moon. 🌕❤️ And to those singing "Don't Stop Me Now! I'm having such a good time! I'm having a ball!" Thank you 😄 That might just be the clarion call we need as we launch ourselves toward the highest point of the year. Love & blessings on your season, cheering you on from here. R ###
Sister Circle ~The Summer Cycle starts THIS THURSDAY! Did that window open so that YOU can jump through it?? 😃
KABOOM! 🔥💥 Kicked my week off with an impromptu dose of lush lady friends, chatting and listening, sharing and supporting, and hooting with laughter! My whole body is reminded of the power of women together. It is SO important to make time for this, and too easy to see it as a luxury. Something we struggle to arrange, or an occasional treat. A listening ear and some belly laughs is profound medicine indeed. Wishing sunshine and smiles upon your Monday ☀️😃💫✨ Sister Circle ~ The Summer Cycle Starts Thursday night at 8.30pm Live on zoom *Drop me a message to book your place* #womentogether #womensupportingwomen #femininerising #sistercircle #sistercircles #consciousbreathwork #circlesofwomen #consciousconnectiondevon
