Summer stirs some big things for me, and sometimes being just under five years sober doesn't make it easier at all

Ice cold beers by the beach, cocktail bars, letting your hair down and going wild for one night which would often lead to three

I spent a good seven years of my life intoxicated and dissociated, special events, friendships, travels, moments ruined or missed because of my drinking

I was immersed in a very toxic drinking culture in the military, but I would often drink more than those around me. The workplace had Thirsty Thursdays, pressure to drink, but I began to see just how toxic our society here in the UK also was was around drink

Often I would hear people say "it's what you do when you're young" but this was different, this wasn't okay, and binge drinking, needing a drink, needing that night out, this made my physical and mental health even worse

There seemed to be little place else to go to socialise without drinks, be that sports, music, even cafes started serving alcohol, and any attempt to stop for short periods, were met with temptation or pressure

I relied so heavily on it for confidence, a buzz and it became such a part of my life, I didn't know how much of a problem I had

I got very ill in 2018 with chronic fatigue, tonsillitis and inflammation, so when I was off work ill, my symptoms worsened with withdrawals on top of it, this was terrifying but I put it down to my antibiotics and infections

It wasn't long before I went back to drinking again, but my body and mind began to get worse

I had a full blown breakdown in late 2019, I had already begun drinking less and less, as alcohol was starting to make me have frightening thoughts and have outbursts of reckless behaviour

Fortunately, I had met my now husband Lawrence, in February 2019, and he was ex military and suffered with alcohol addiction, and we began our sober and mental health recovery journey together

New years eve 2019, beer bottles went unopened, a fire was lit as we released the past and looked forward to the future

We began to heal and rise from our pain

One night led to three, we saw sunrises, sunsets, remembered beautiful moments and five years on, we got married, danced, travelled, partied at festivals all sober, now with a beautiful daughter

We took it slow, unfurling, healing our minds, moving our bodies gently, nourishing ourselves with learning, herbs and tending deeply to our spirits with energy healing, ritual, travel and prayer

It was a detox and recovery on every level, and it was hard, but we learnt and continue to learn so much along the way

We began seeing that the void didn't need filling, but that we were in need of finding the very things we were chasing, here inside of us

This is how our free spirited, sober journey began

In an astrology session, we don't just talk about calculations or what this or that means. We go deeply into the unseen

Asking questions, listening to messages, and opening the communication with spirit, nature, and unique blueprint

It has always influenced our lives, only we can choose to work with it instead of us resisting or missing all it has to share

Gemini season begins, as the planet Jupiter moves from earthy, worth-related Ta**us (where it has been since May 2023) and into communicative Gemini, where it will be for another year.

How did the closing of eclipse season and mercury retrograde treat you?

You may have seen just how much of a challenging experience I had, bringing our beautiful Grace into the world. And one month later, there has been so much magic and learning.

What’s emerging for me is how much I was trying to live by other’s rulebooks.

How to birth most naturally, how postpartum should look, how to eat certain foods to ensure I recover well (I did so much reading around this) and the time came and the wild mother I have become quite literally felt repulsed at how much I felt the need to ‘do it the right way’

Because what use are all these tools, ways, and methods, if the energy and intention are pressured or the joy is lost?

So I emerged from an elective cesarean section that saved both our lives, sold our beautiful birth pool, ate a pizza in the sun with a fizzy drink two weeks postpartum at the beach with baby in arms, while numerous women said “you’re up and about already?”

Why do I share this?


Because I hope it inspires another, that you get to choose. Social media can be such a surface-level space with ‘how-tos’ and ‘best ways’, but you know the answers deep down.

You truly are the medicine, and you get to write your own story.

miracles are possible

two weeks of getting to know our beautiful Grace, and learning and walking this new path as parents has been a whole lot of magic, fatigue, and healing

looking at these two every day, my heart bursts, and I somehow expand my capacity to love and be loved, even more

years ago I was so afraid to let love in, so much so I wasn't even in touch with my desire to be a mama, running and hiding from love

of course relationships take work, especially the individual healing work, but my goodness this man and all he brings is such magic

what a gift life is, the challenge can be believing we are worthy of receiving it❤️

a week into getting to know Grace, happy ta**us new moon to the most beautiful little ta**us🌙

she gifted us with her calm and gentle presence in the most initiatory, terrifying, empowering week of my life

we well and truly walked through the portal together, and I was forced to overcome a lot of my past, distrust, and fierce independence to receive support

I was diagnosed with severe pre eclampsia Monday of last week as my body had swollen so badly, my blood pressure had raised so high

I quickly had to overcome my distrust of the medical system, and learn to receive emergency help, especially now this was no longer about just me

I'll be sharing more as I feel comfortable to do so, honouring that these things take time and deserve the sacred space

But what I'd love to share, is that we are not in control, and relinquishing, surrendering control and attachment to an outcome of how I thought things "should be" or how the world had told me, made room for healing beyond measure

I was at risk of having a seizure or worse being in a coma, with the extent my pre eclampsia had escalated to, so delivering by c section was my choice, and an empowered one at that

To go from being unmedicated for six years, distrusting of alot of the system and set on a hands off home birth, two days after a whirlwind diagnosis, all I could do was surrender

So here we are, skin to skin, all loved up and so deeply grateful to be alive

~ a gift of heartfelt abundance from me to you ~

We’re just days away from Beltane, a time of fertile growth and abundance, the Celtic festival of union between the earth and the sun.

Maybe you’re noticing the spring blossom move from the magnolia to the heart-healing hawthorn with her soft white displays, reminiscing on and looking forward to those long, summer days.

Or you’ve seen how the oak seems to burst into life with its mighty green leaves seemingly overnight, or the bluebells creating picnic blankets with nettle and wild garlic, what a time to be a witness to such magic.

Opening to the feeling of the sunlight on our skin and the vibrant life blooming all around us is the anchor we need after the energies of the last month or so. We are closing out eclipse season this week, mercury retrograde, and welcoming a softer, more playful dance in May as Beltane invites us to remember we are one with it all.

How present do you feel when you soak in the beauty all around you with all of your senses?

Today Venus enters Ta**us, and how powerful does it feel to stand barefoot on the earth, inhaling the wild fragrances, as birds sing in time with the dancing light on the trees.

As a thank you for the abundance your support brings and allows me to continue to do what I love, I’m sharing some gifts below with you.

In honour of the season of Ta**us, in her wild, goddess nature, connected to the earth and senses, here is a shamanic journey for you to connect with a plant ally, to guide you and hold you through all you are moving through right now.

Comment 'receive' to get the shamanic plant connection journey sent to you!

Allowing the earth to be your sanctuary, remembering you're the medicine.

Nature is awakening more, with flashes of green and more subtle displays of soft pink all around


The sound of birdsong and planes in the sunlit sky, the vibrant smell of fresh, coconut-like gorse fills my lungs, and I'm transported to child-like, carefree summer days



Sat beneath ancient birch trees today beside small emerald ferns curled, ready to expand and open more, I leant even more into the season we are in, one of;

wild new beginnings

the unknown before us is so wild and beautiful, so full of possibility



if we can sit for a moment to allow it, to allow expectation, urgency and needing to know

to

gently

drop

I find this only happens when I return to nature

the elements, when we begin to commune with them, and remember we are them

supports, loves, and holds us, and we return to our natural rhythms

the kind where our mind can be quiet,

our trust can be found

and our essence has room to speak



Just yesterday I sat with beautiful friends, as they held me in a mother-blessing way

ceremony, and I felt so loved. But it felt deeper than me and the life I am growing inside



It felt ancient
Honouring the seasons, communion and the cycles of nature we are


For me, so much dis-ease and disharmony comes from forgetting this, when I've not been in ritual, or remembered I am the trees, ferns, birdsong, and the breeze.



What helps you to remember who you are?



And what is it that you would love to be doing more of? What is your go-to thing when all else is done or if you could be doing anything?



This to me is where our purpose, life force and joy lives

we open to all this and more, in embracing your power within, my self-paced online journey through the elements, back to the medicine of you

in your wholeness

in all of your being

(link to join is in bio)

time seems to have changed form

eclipse seasons do this, bringing all I can describe as an eery sense of being in the void

this time around for me, it doesn't feel too different to everyday life, as I feel like I've been in the cave of the inbetween since quite early on in my pregnancy

surrender
soften
release
repeat

saturn returns and pregnancy are fu***ng hard, I scribble down, with tired eyes and aching bones

part of me wants to be doing more

to be moving at the pace I did before, doing the things I used to do for joy, upliftment

part of me so deeply wants her to be here now, I'm tired of waiting

And although I'm sure a sense of balance and equilibrium will happen when our baby arrives earthside, I'll never be the same

There isn't a going back to old ways

Nor is there any sense of knowing what is coming

I thank the stars each day (pun intended) that I have the astrological context, the permission slip, the invitations and the guidance when all seems in such chaos

And I exhale, surrendering into the chaos from which we all came

💗

My saturn return is happening in my 4th house of motherhood, home, self care, while my nodal opposition is happening in my 5th house of creativity, expression and children

The impatience piece I really sense as the north node (purpose, moving towards) is in fiery Aries on my south node (what we have mastered and moving away from) along with Chiron the wounded healer

All I can do is soften, find balance and beauty, and remember not to close off into my cave of fiery frustration, to open to receive

what is Saturn in pisces inviting you to surrender to?

what do you know about your north node and south node?

share below the house they are in or dm to ask!

In my embracing your power within course, I share my many hours of experience healing myself and working with different shamanic practice traditions, intuitive astrology, psychology, journalling for wellbeing and trauma informed embodiment, in a grounded, condensed way, so you can experience just how lifechanging this work is

So you may walk in harmony with all

So you may learn to trust the wisdom of your wholeness

So you may wildly untame yourself and live freely, knowing the power you truly hold

growing new life

expanding in ways I never thought possible on all levels

stretching my capacity to care and to feel parts not yet ready to be loved and illuminated

this liminal space between who and what I was, and who I am becoming

was frightening at first

I clung so tightly to wanting to know, be able to see how she is in there

But the fighting stopped
My walls softened

Trust is emerging

For my body, my baby, and life

This miraculous life

In this cocoon of the last year or so, of my saturn return in pisces, I have been in the cave on so many levels

But just this past week, landing into our new home, my womb has softened

She feels safe to create, share, and be

I feel safe to receive and be held

I have found home inside

~

I've been collating and creating some elemental, shamanic, journalling and womb magic over here to share with you in the coming weeks ✨️ this is so close to my heart and is something like 4 years in the making, stepping into a trust that I do have wisdom to share, and that our unique light and voices matter

I will be sharing more about this on the leo moon, next week 🔥🌙

n o u r i s h m e n t

all these things we want to do, feel we should do, are often less about the action, and more about the energy and intention behind it

what use is my nourishing, ancestral diet full of such enriching nutrients if I'm disregulated and urgent in needing them

how calm will my breathing practice be if I'm in the forced place of doing

as I take a deep sigh, I didn't realise how fired up I have been lately

and a beautiful reflexologist shared just how fiery our baby felt in the session

which I felt relieved hearing

I've been

resisting the shedding of my skin

fighting the need for rest as essential nourishment

to journey into stillness, growing new life

I had been so urgent to

to get things done
eat well
move my body enough but not too much
burn out from the boat being such a challenge and moving into a house again

For the astrologers out there, my nodal opposition has been wooping my arse

The north node in aries (opposite to my north node libra - purpose) are conjunct with five planets of mine in aries

Bringing with it an even more important lesson for me to find balance, and beauty and receiving from others, beyond the fiery need to do so independently

I do not need to do this all alone

When I have been hearing the call to rest at home lately, my mind continued to whirl or would be onto planning the next thing

Until

Lawrence said the words after our beautiful photoshoot "do you know Clare Bear, you can leave the doing and sorting to me, I've got this" with the warmest smile on his face and twinkle in his eyes

And I softened like I never have before

Like a cellular softening

And I'm grateful for it all, the parts of me who fought arriving here, she's never truly known the safety of true rest as the most productive, nourishing thing we can do

What a gift, that a part of me wants to protect me so much

But with tenderness and love, like Lawrence said to me, I can say to her as the blossoming mama I am becoming, "you know, we've got this"

s u r r e n d e r

~

To the life growing in my womb

The whispers on the wind from ancestors and guides

Mama earth vibrantly storing life within her soil through winter

Intentions sown still dancing with the cosmos until the time is right for it to manifest

The sound of the birds just out of sight singing their melodies

what are you feeling called to surrender to as the light returns?

feeling this today in the final hours of Jupiter retrograde in Ta**us, where it has been for the last six months, inviting us to reflect on our inner values, worth and what abundance within truly means

for me it has been in the fourth house of home, protection and motherhood

as I cocoon a little deeper, walking into the third trimester of my pregnancy, the void and the vast unknown calls for a deeper surrender than I've ever done before

to lean into the gift of my feminine power in softness and sensitivity, even though and especially when it scares me

it is those seeds of sensitivity, the pain points and places we won't dare to go, that hold such potency and our own unique spark

now, closing out this six month cycle, as we integrate, reflect, and soften a little deeper into the home of our inner selves, I wonder;

what do we hold, love and value, within and around us?

what parts of ourselves have we come to know more deeply in the past six months?

where can we claim more of our unique gifts?

🪶

🌈 my calendar is open with a few sessions remaining for some of January and most of February prior to taking the rest of the year for maternity leave. Sessions include astrology readings, shamanic healing and guided shamanic journey sessions online and in person

☀️ two of my beloved self-paced shamanic courses will be released in February, after years of crafting, finetuning and tending to! I am so excited about sharing these with you🔥

Lately, I've heard a few people share that it's easier for others, more smooth, or they are more blessed

Which I really understand, because we don't see behind the scenes, the journey someone has been on to get to those places

I'd love to share a little of my journey to now, too, and the why behind what I share

For the most part of my teens and 20s, I was in fight flight

I numbed myself with alcohol, food, busying, exercise, and much more

I was dissociated, walking cocooned in fear

Fearing what I may meet within, disguised behind a fear of every single thing around me

Distrust was the lens I saw the entire world through

I became physically ill with severe throat problems five years ago, and I was forced to rest for months on end for the first time in 20 + years

Years of competition, driving, rushing, from overworking to being in the army for four years, some days I was out running, working then weightlifting followed by drunken nights out

Ignoring my body and her wisdom

Slowly after resisting recovery and fighting rest, I surrendered

I then came to be able to move again, but slowly

I had to build my immune system after months of antibiotics and my body purging all of the toxins

I stopped the antibiotics, began gentle yoga, breathwork, and very slow nature walks

I lost so many what I thought were friends, but in that time, I turned to the trees, animals, herbs, photography, and the lifechanging tool of writing

In this space, came to sit with all the reasons I had been rushing and running from her

In desperation at self-destructive patterns and cycles, trauma resurfacing, I found my way to shamanic healing, prepared at this point to do anything to stop the pain

I had a number of sessions with a celtic shaman, before exploring breathwork, women's circles, and further shamanic healing from other traditions

I've continued to see and feel the importance of these spaces where we can be heard and held, in all of it

In our pain, vulnerability, and also in our joy and bliss

I learnt and continue to learn such wisdom from nature, from other people on this journey, that mirrors the medicine I need to hear whether joyful or challenging at the time

In 2019 I came off all medication and birth control, moved away from cbd and alcohol, and I began tracking my menstrual cycle which lead to a reigniting of and allowing of my love for nature and the cosmos cycles, as a mirror of the love I am learning to open to with me

Each doorway bringing with it a deeper trust in my own ability to heal, that we all have

And so this little picture paints a fraction of the experience that has leeld me to want to allow others to find their inner healer, their voice, softness, their fierce roaring pain that becomes a doorway to their gifts and magic, no matter how frightening it may feel at the time

Each path is different, each doorway looks and feels unique

And this is the magic

The essence or part of what I share in my life is of the upmost importance of softening into our bodies, to find all the ways beyond what makes us feel unsafe to surrender, to find love for ourselves and access the ancient wisdom we all hold so deeply in our bones

To feel safe enough to allow the healing to begin

Thank you for reading, may you stay warm and remember to look for the doorways leading you to gifts, love and a life beyond and with compassion for, the pain of now ✨️

~ Earth & Ether Ceremonial Course ~

A week until we begin this altogether!

Enrollment closes tomorrow and we have two spaces left (scholarship options available)✨️🌲

Come and gather with us as we tend to our inner warmth and inner spark through the depths of winter. A time of giving and receiving, learning from one another, from nature, and opening a little more to the ancient wisdom that lives in our bones, intrinsically as a part of the stones and the stars, the plants, and the planets.

Through our embodiment as nature, we become attuned to the natural cycles and the power of the cosmos.

Weaving astrology, herbalism, tree spirit wisdom, shamanic practice, and so much more, we journey together so that the essence of winter can be harnessed in a way that is tangible.

To come together in circle and remember the ancient ways, with recipes, detailed guides, origin stories, and folktales of herbs, as well as opening to the dreams, wisdom, insight, and inspiration that can be received when we are intentionally still in ceremony.


Clare is a shamanic healer, intuitive astrologer, mentor, and writer, with a passion for all things spirit. Be that the spirit of our creativity, the trees, the stars, or the mysteries of life, she has spent the last five years dedicating to and opening to ritual, ceremony, and seeing the sacred in all things, especially the life that can be found in bliss and play. Through her own addiction, trauma, and chronic inflammation recovery, her heart is lit up holding space for others to find their power and inner healer.

Giorgia is a herbalist, astrologer, artist, and nomadic dreamer, with a heart that longs to share all that life, nature and spirit have to bring as medicine to our mind, body, and soul. Her own personal health journey with the healing medicine of plants and flowers inspires her daily as she dedicates her life to service and collaboration with the earth and the cosmos.

Our heartfelt intention for this four-week ceremonial space is for the magic of co-creation to be weaved through all that gather, the people, planets, energies, ancestors, and plant beings. For the essence of our space to course like a gentle stream through our beings, gifting us with light, hope, connection, and ease as we journey more deeply into winter.

This is for you if any of the below resonate:

🪔 you would love to harness the power of winter and all that she brings, together in community

🪔 you are called to deepen into intentional living with the cycles and your cycles

🪔 you have been called for quite some time to connect more deeply to your inner power, wisdom, and intuition


🪔 you know deep down that you have gifts, and medicine to share with the world, but would love to empower yourself more and bring this to the forefront

🪔 you know that your healing and stories can become the greatest teachers and gifts, but would love the safe space to delve deeper into harnessing this


🪔 you long to walk in harmony with the earth, understanding her medicine, but have felt barriers to opening to this

🪔 you are ready to move forward and open to the miracles you know deep down that you have within you and that you are worthy of receiving
