Circles & Gatherings
Spaces to be heard, in words or in your physical presence. Coming together in community with each other to witness with 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?
These circles and gatherings are such healing and humbling communities and I love facilitating them. You can find out more about the current spaces that I'm facilitating here.
Or for a bit more info on the past ones, I'm still a student of the awe and wonder that coming together like this inspires to be honest. Of relative strangers speaking so openly and truthfully about how they truly feel; it still blows me away. The shapes of these offerings so far have been predominantly for women, although I am ever more curious and currently exploring what these spaces could look like for men and women coming together. 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, space created to honour them and recognise 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 financially then support those affected by it. I am currently facilitating a Women's Nature Connection Circle - Gather - which you can find out more about below.

Need space to just breathe and take a moment?
Come and G A T H E R
Nourishing, mindful, nature connection based practises, sitting and sharing together in a small community of women to be heard, to listen. Reconnecting with the rhythms & cycles of both yourself and the natural world.
No masks to uphold, no need for brave faces, no 'fixing' to be done. Welcome with all that you bring, be that in your words or simply in your phsycial presence.

Places are £16.66 and booked in advance as a seasonal chunk of three sessions, paid in one instalment of £50.
You can drop in to any of our sessions on a pay-as-you-go basis for £18. An introductory offer of £15 is also available for your first time joining us.
Space allowing, there are two concessionary places for women in each circle for whom financial reasons mean they otherwise feel they wouldn't be able to join us. 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. Wild and wondrous wishes in the meantime!

pause for peace
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.
