Continued from Part One… “And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom…” Anais Nin Blossoming requires us to open. It’s an act of courage to open […]
Written for Climate Change and Consciousness (CCC19 Conference), Findhorn ~ April 2019. It’s no secret that we are living in a time of extraordinary upheaval and transition, climate change perhaps being the most significant expression of the all-pervading flux in which we find ourselves. Our compromised environment and the related breakdown of our political, social […]
Continued from Part One (read part one here) Aamir’s choice to ‘leave’ in August 2017, awakened deeper layers of my capacity to feel which, in turn, greatly enriched my understanding and practice of ‘holding space’ ~ both for myself and for the women I work with. I am still stunned by the synchronicity and power of the […]
I believe that one of that one of the most significant, untapped resources in healing the past and creating the future we want, is our capacity to feel ~ with loving awareness. We’re living in a fragmented world or, at least, so it seems when we slow down enough to witness the suffering on our […]
I have just returned from a very beautiful send off for my dear Aunt Ruth and an extremely nostalgic trip back to the home town of Westerham, where I was born and grew up as a child.

I’ve been marvelling at the beautiful winter we are having here in Scotland. In the last few weeks I’ve woken several times to snowy ‘white-outs’ around me and as we live in the middle of a forest, it’s quite stunning to be greeted this way. I still feel I’m in hibernation, tuning to my own rhythms and to the […]
I hope you’ve had some Soul-nourishing time over the holidays and that 2018 is off to a beautiful beginning! Over the last few weeks I’ve been enjoying time out with my family but also taking time to sit with my Soul and give space to the dreams and inspirations that are arising in me for this new […]
(Scroll down for the Women’s Fire Replay Audio Player) Download Audio Replay This last couple of months has begun a profoundly Soul-enriching time for me. I’ve needed to slow my pace right down and allow myself to drop into a place of greater stillness, so that I can listen more deeply to my heart during this Winter Dreamtime. Slowing […]
