The centrepiece of our retreats is the mandala. Around which we congregate for Unity - both within ourselves and out, with our community.
In a post-pandemic world where we hear stories of isolation, loneliness and a sense of disconnection, this space brings women together. To share, if they feel called to, and to listen, to hear one another.
What arises, time and again, is an understanding, a deep knowing that we are not alone. There is solace found in stories that resonate, words spoken out loud by others that articulate the feelings we have inside.
When I first sat in circle, I was terrified! Preoccupied with the fear of talking, of being seen - of being judged. But I soon came to understand the true magic and sacredness of circle; there is no judgement, there is no ‘fixing’ of others, there is no requirement to show up in any way other than what feels right and true to you.
I have sat in circle many times, with many different women and I am honoured to hold this space alongside my dear friend and co-facilitator Brydie (this pic is a little behind-the-scenes snapshot of us planning our last closing circle together).
As she said to me yesterday “necessity is the mother of invention.” And that is how these retreats came to be - they are what I dreamed of when I became a new mum, but couldn’t find in the UK. I have sourced a brilliant team of women - 23 in total! - to bring my dream to life, and I am humbled by their support, their belief in my vision, and their ongoing service to the mamas that join us on retreat.

As this reTREAT comes to a close
I bathe in its residue...
Resting now
Still sparkling

Body Medicine ∆ 12pm
I am inviting you to share in this powerful practice with me in support and celebration of the city's original Yoga and health studio...
It's 's 40th birthday
And we are celebrating in style
as part of
Body Medicine
This practice merges Yoga's principles of movement and philosophy with Raakau (fascial release), neurodynamics, somatic signing, balance work and breath.
We move deliberately, and concentrate in the moment on what the body is doing, feeling and becoming... allowing things to unfold.
And for this time we can BE in the moment.
PURPOSE - POWER - PEACE
The ultimate Work-In
I have been developing this system for the last few years, it's subtle and strong...
I would love to share it with you.
Do come 🤍
On this Moon I made a thing...
Clay ∆ leather ∆ Jute ∆ Gold leaf
When I get too much into my head
(Chttavrtti FM)
I will drop into my hands
My feet
My body
To Sit
To Sing
To Move
To Make
To me the making of this piece and the piece itself is a quiet celebration of that anchoring
Of the journey through
And the coming home
The ReMembering
I am interested in the Science and Spirituality of being present
The Neurology of Now
Conscious Creativity
So maybe I can share with you soon...
And now
Trying not to grip on in this Lunar ride
There are better uses for these hands
Ooo yeah
It's a full, full one
Hello
Oofff feels a bit weird to be on here, not bad....just weird
I have navigated the last few years negotiating more and more space for myself
More space...and some loss
A sure, and sometimes shaky shift from persona to person
The things that have peeled away...
Some
Relationships
Classes
Social media
Ways of being and doing
I own this process
And welcome the quiet with the deepest sigh....
Feeling fluid and selective I do not so much fill my space but share it
I have taken a new class on at the beloved Brighton Natural Health Centre and it starts tomorrow morning
Vinyasa Flow
Friday 10am - 11.15am
It will be a process of negotiating space
From within the body and around it
Breath aware
Quiet and strong
I believe we are all moving from a slightly different space now
PURPOSE
POWER
PEACE
...AGENCY
That's what it's all about
(Particularly after a clusterf*** couple of years)
In this class we move in deliberate ways
So we can access the present moment
Know ourselves better
Treat ourselves with kindness and respect
Breathe sustainably
Become stronger and clearer...
And softer and safer
Come back home
All ages, stages, genders and bendynesses are welcome
Welcome 2022 ✨
Everything is always changing shape
We've got this disco kids
