This is a beautiful prayer to learn - to sing to bodies of water: rivers, oceans, lakes, or into the water you drink, or simply to sing to the water in your body.

Water has consciousness. Water is Life.

Think / speak good things. You are literally making spells with your words. Are you praising or cursing? - yourself / others…

Be mindful. Be intentional. Be careful.

Venus Day blessings to you 🙏🏽🌹

Thank you for this beauty medicine.

Reposting this convo with # - we need to speak up about the root cause of eating disorders. I suffered for many years in my late teens and twenties with bulimia. Pregnancy stopped me in my tracks because it wasn’t just about me any longer.

You are beautiful no matter what society or the media - or what anyone says.

‘Judge not lest ye be judged’

May we be kind to ourselves and dismantle the ways we’ve internalised the harmful, oppressive ways of patriarchal capitalism and misogyny. Let that s**t go.

Love yourself. Be your own best friend.
It’s definitely possible.

Greetings to this wonderful community here 🙏🏽

I’m delighted to have been invited by lovely Tam to bring my Venus Rose Embodiment Ritual which was birthed at Medicine Festival four years ago.

Allow me to introduce myself. My healing journey began in my teen years, looking for ways to heal from complex childhood trauma. I began studying many different bodywork modalities, and started working in a massage school in Central London from the age of 20 as a supervisor on the holistic massage training courses. It felt good to have my healing hands recognised and celebrated at such a young age.

At age 22 (1992) I went travelling in south east Asia (Thailand / India / Indonesia) and stayed four years learning and practicing yoga, meditation, shiatsu, fasting, alongside a lot of dancing, healing and finding real joy in being alive.

On coming back to the UK I was initiated into motherhood and after a while began a 3 year yoga teacher training.

For over 30 years i have been supporting my local community offering bodywork, teaching yoga, supporting mothers, (I’m also a trained doula) facilitating transformational retreats and workshops, and training yoga teachers, whilst raising two daughters.

My partner of 30 years and I are ta**ra practitioners, devoted to the Goddess, walking the Path of Love in service to Life.

For the last 20 years I have been immersed in the plant medicine community which has assisted my healing by helping me to connect more deeply with the rhythms of the earth, my ancestors and the more-than-human kin.

2020 brought huge change. I left London to live in south Wales where I went through menopause, and recovered from chronic illness and burnout. It was there that I began my studies to learn more about trauma, the nervous system and oppression in all its shapes and forms.

I became an Apprentice to Grief and The Way of Council, deepening my ceremonial rites of passage work, and facilitating Sophy Banks’ ‘Healthy Human Culture’ work.

Since leaving the yoga centres, i have been supporting women and couples offering somatic coaching, eco-erotic embodiment, and seasonal / lunar rituals both online and in-person.

Pls join us 🌹Sisters

I’m still integrating the moments we shared last weekend on Dartmoor.

These photos show a tiny bit of the magick that we co-created there. So many new precious memories have been etched into my bones. I’m giving thanks to all the incredible women who attended - the AMAZING decor team - and especially to and .wyldroots who dreamed this glorious gathering into manifestation with so much style and grace.

It was a great honour to hold the Grief Ceremony on Saturday with my dear sister . Warrioress Mairead@bonniemedicine helped us loosen our grief with this perfect song you’re hearing now - thank you for supporting our work with your exquisite voice and drumming. And a big shout out to beautiful, gifted beyond measure, Bryony, for helping us create this gorgeous grief shrine 🙏🏽🌹

As soon as I heard the name of this Samhain gathering - Wild and Holy - I knew I had to be there. The call was unavoidable. Huge thanks to Shakti sister for roping me in 🙏🏽🌹

Not only was it heart opening, it was eye opening 👀

I’m grateful for the edges I got to traverse thanks to the creative curation of so many diverse and deeply delightful offerings.

I loved everything I participated in - particularly the Sxx Lab with the highly skilled , the Closing Circle, and the Prayerformance on the last night - truly unforgettable 🔥

and team served up some of the best retreat food I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. Thank you for all the love, deliciousness, and nourishment!

Thank you to Katie for bringing your heavenly sauna. I’m so glad you were there.

I’ve been able to decolonise, liberate and reclaim even more of myself thanks to this deeply divine Wild and Holy sisterhood.

We do this work for all women everywhere. Together we rise 🔥

Thank you Taila and Vieve. I respect and admire you both so much. I can’t wait for what’s next !🌙

“We are born in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship.”

And so it is 🙏🏽🔥

I started teaching yoga in 1994, on the island of Ko Pha Ngan in southern Thailand. I didn’t have a teaching qualification back then. I simply had a passion for yoga and wanted to share it with anyone who had an interest in practicing it with me.

I began my formal studies in 1998, when my baby girl was 18 months old. It was a three year diploma. It was hard trying to find the space to write my essays - one a month. But I knew I needed a push to dive deeper in the subject.

I remember feeling some sadness when I traded the love of the practice solely for myself, to transitioning to becoming a public yoga teacher being paid to teach classes in my local health centre. I felt that I had lost something sacred.

It’s been a journey these last few years learning about cultural appropriation, watching the rise of the modern industrial yoga complex as I’ve heard it called. I felt like I didn’t want to be a part of the circus anymore. It IS complex, how yoga has become such big business, and how it’s been divorced from its cultural roots, but then that had been happening for a long time in India too, before it got exported to the west. There’s way too much to say for an IG post.

For me, yoga is less of a work out and more of a work in.

My own teaching style became a lot more feminine after I went through menopause. I was able to finally surrender and really listen to what my body wanted and needed. My practice became more restorative and investigative. I saw such a big need to slow right down as a way to balance our speeded up modern lives.

I’ve had a break from teaching. I left the yoga centres where I’d been teaching for over two decades. But I have to say I do miss it. So I am going to start offering an online Sunday morning class again.

Sunday Sadhana was running for around 22 years at triyoga. It was baked into my bones that weekly ritual.

You’re welcome to join me - from 9-10.30am. There will be lots of warming up the body, freeing the joints and slowly moving into postures. Lots of neck and shoulder stretches, releasing tension and tightness, allowing energy to flow more freely. I draw from Ta**ra, Hatha & Kundalini yoga. You’ll feel better after.

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness,
and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.”
Khalil Gibran

It’s been really helpful to learn about trauma and attachment styles these last few years. It’s good to understand about patterning, protection and the nervous system.

We are always mostly looking for safety. There are other patterns (which I recognise and definitely lived out in my younger years) where risk-taking and looking for danger can be the prime motivation.

We are complex and multidimensional beings. And utterly and endlessly fascinating. I spend a lot of my time (and money) learning about human behaviour. I’ve immersed myself in several trainings this year to deepen my practice of relational coaching - a Ta**ra Intensive with my life partner, Kevin, three Way of Council retreats focused on circle technology, storytelling and being present in the body, and an introductory course to NARM - NeuroAffective Relational Model - a trauma healing modality.

I am doing my very best to learn about and understand myself. Thirty years of partnership and being a mother of two has given me much fodder to chew on. I have come to the conclusion that relationships are not easy. (😂🤪)

It’s this fact that inspires my work to support others in cultivating Right Relationship. And it needs to include the Earth, the Goddess and our other-than-human kin.

Shamanism and Ta**ra are systems that allow us to expand into our multidimensionality. We are given frameworks that give us permission to let go of the limited identifications we have of ourselves as human beings. Instead we become elemental, divine, vast mystical, and beyond comprehension.

We would love to invite you to our next Ta**ra Fundamentals workshop at the Life Centre in Notting Hill on Sun 30th Nov from 2.30-4.30pm. It’s for both couples and individuals - bring a partner or find one there. Yes - you need to be brave to step into spaces like this - but rest assured, what you’ll find is a very gentle, nourishing, connective space to enjoy some nurturing somatic practices and perhaps new ways of communicating through voice, touch and movement.

These workshops always sell out so book soon.

We are gathering online tonight at 8pm to create some space for connectivity, embodiment, restoration, ancestor veneration, storytelling and creativity.

I’ve been holding bi-monthly dark and full moon embodiment rituals for the last 3/4 years. It’s a sweet community space for us to show up, take off the mask and bare our hearts. Tonight will be a little different - less time for sharing - more time for attunement and deep listening.

There’s a sliding scale of payment - everyone is welcome. Dm for a link or you might find it in my linktree.

I’d love to hold you 🙏🏽🌹

Our relationships provide such fertile ground to help us heal into wholeness. Like parenting, usually we’ve not been taught much in advance. We learn as we go along - by making mistakes, by trial and error. And sometimes we can get a leg up if we find a good teacher.

Ta**ra has provided the ground rock for my existence over the last three decades. I live my life in service to the Goddess. She guides my actions, She is there for me when I crumple into doubt, fear, shame and confusion. She loves and supports me no matter what state I am in. She always leads me back to my true, wild nature.

Ta**ra has also been a lifeline when it comes to relating to my life parter, Kevin, these last thirty years. Fortunately we are both devotees and share a similar world view which helps immensely when it comes to moving through challenges and dancing in the shadows.

Raising two daughters together has been way more than I could ever have imagined for myself - the ways I have been made to stretch, feel, heal and grow. And grieve. There’s been lots of grieving as I’ve shed old versions of myself, old beliefs, dysfunction, and trauma of all kinds.

Life together has been a rollercoaster of infinite emotions, sensations and realisations. And one thing that we’ve been able to keep coming back to as a resource is sacred touch.

It’s what brought us together in the very first place. A hug and a massage on a big rock under the full moon in Ko Pha Ngan in 1996. Yoga, meditation, dancing, good food, long ocean swims, community. And intimacy.

The body knows what it wants and what it likes. And what it needs.

Would you like to learn more about Ta**ra?

Come join us Sunday 30th November from 2.30-4.30pm Notting Hill for our Becoming One - Ta**ra Fundamentals Playshop. Bring a partner or meet one there for some gently, respectfully guided somatic practices to create deeper connections via non-verbal communication through the body, through touch and attunement.

We will support ourselves and each other through breath work, partner yoga, movement, compassionate inquiry and sacred touch in a nurturing and nourishing group container.

The veils are getting thin 🎃

This liminal space is a place where worlds meet. It is not to be feared, but revered.

In autumn, we are closer to the symbols and stories of death not as an end, but as a necessary part of the cycle.

It is a sacred time for:

Ancestor Veneration: Honouring the blood and bone of those who came before us, whose lives are the foundation of our own.

Symbolic Death: Releasing old stories, habits, and identities that no longer serve our highest good, allowing them to compost and nourish new growth.

Divinatory Practices: Seeking wisdom from the deep well of the unconscious, as the thinned veil makes intuition and psychic senses more acute.

Communion with the Otherworld: Listening for the whispers of guides, spirits, and the land itself.

I’m heading, along with 88 awesome women, to a mansion house on Dartmoor this weekend to revel, revere, grieve and frolic at the Wild and Holy Samhain Gathering

I’m curious and excited to see what’s going to unfold. So many witches coming together will be something to behold 🔥

I have been given the honour of holding of a grief tending ceremony. I’m sure it’s going to be a powerful unleashing.

For the meantime, wishing you a blessed Samhain season 🎃

Women are rising - there is no doubt about that. Keep going. Shine your light. Do what only you can do best. Get out there and share your gifts. The time is NOW.
