Circles &
Gatherings
Group spaces where we come together, sit in circle and be heard, in words and in our physical presence. Gathering in community with each other to witness and be witnessed, no advice offered, no need to be or act a certain way, no attempts to 'fix'; what a gift. An honest, safe, authentic space for you to be and feel ALL that you are.
Not something we have much of in our daily in the West, these sacredly simple spaces is it? There's something about the wonder and awe that continues to inspire me about relative strangers speaking so openly and truthfully about how they truly feel; it still blows me away.
You can find out more the current spaces that I'm facilitating, 'gather' and the Equinox & Solstice gather offerings, below.
Previously these have predominantly taken the form of supporting women in numerous forms; the Women’s Nature Connection Circle and Morning’s with Moon both shared themes of the season and lunar cycle. The Mama’s Circle had similar flavours, honouring mothers, recognising their epicness, reminding them of who they are for themselves. Following the 2022 decision in America on the Roe vs Wade ruling, I also offered a donation based space for us to come together and be with the pain and the love stirred up from that decision, that also then financially supported those affected by it. At the end of 2024, I also created Pause for Peace, which offered an inclusive space to take a moment of quiet reflection in community with others, to honour peace both in ourselves and the world at this tumultuous time.
Alongside these, I have also created and facilitated other group spaces interwoven with my broadcasting work, which you can find out more about here.

the world offers itself to your imagination,

Places are currently £18.30 and booked in advance as a seasonal chunk of three sessions, paid in one instalment of £55. You can drop in to any of our sessions on a pay-as-you-go basis for £20. An introductory offer of £16 is also available for your first time joining us, and as a reduced rate if that makes things more accessible for you financially.
Space allowing, there are also concessionary places for women in each circle for whom financial reasons mean they otherwise feel they wouldn't be able to join us at all. These spaces are funded by the circle itself, from a community pot that every bought ticket contributes 50p towards. Separate donations can also be made in to this pot at any time. Please do drop me a note to chat any further about exploring either of these avenues.
You are so welcome and we really look forward to 'gathering' together with you in amongst the magic that is Damson Hill. Any questions or queries please don't hesitate to get in touch, otherwise just book your sessions below.

What is Spring Equinox showing us at this time of year?
-
What movement, ancient herbal practices & plants can we work with to support ourselves?
-
And how might this all offer us as insight in to our own cycles and rhythms as women.
Joining together with Marisa Shearer Menstrual Health Therapist and Lucy Clare Naturopathic Herbalist & Yoga Teacher, in the woodland sanctuary that is Damson Hill Cottage, we're offering you a space to come and nourish yourself with nature as the seasons shift.
Places are £55. Please do reach out to any of us if that price feels like a barrier and you would like to be there.
To book or for any questions or queries drop me an email, or you can also find us on the socials.
This promises to be a really nourishing and nurturing space and we're all really looking forward to welcoming you :)
In amongst the busyness, Pause for Peace offers a moment of quiet reflection to honour peace both in ourselves and the world at this tumultuous time.
An inclusive space for all different beliefs and faiths to come together for a moment of silent and mindful contemplation in community, in support of the challenges and suffering that are going on in the world right now.
As well as offering our presence, this is a donation based offering to support things practically a little too. All profits go to Choose Love who work to provide humanitarian aid to, and advocacy for, refugees around the world. A small offering from the money raised (10%) will also go to Exton Church in gratitude for providing the space.
No need to book a place, do just turn up (dressed warmly!) and if you have any further questions, do please get in touch.
