Ritual. Reflection. Connection
WOMEN’S CIRCLES & RETREATS IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE
“We gather, tenderly, in this darkling earth.
We trace the outlines, in this darkness, for a safer, fairer, world.
Our togetherness needs to write a whole new language.
Our stories will be the echo that the earth sends back.
Our voices will be the thread – red and strong – that binds our broken human hearts to one another.
Our words will be the gifts – echoing and bright – that remind us what it means to be blood and bone.
What the word for human is.”
Kerri ní Dochartaigh
Welcome. Land softly here. be slow. be still. soften.
My circles and retreats are intentional, nurturing, loving spaces, offering a chance to slow down and reconnect with yourself - with meditations, sharing stories, words of wisdom, seasonal rituals, sisterhood, time in nature and moments of discovery.
I have seen how powerful and supportive it can be to develop a regular practice of reflection, connection and ritual. Time to stop spinning and slow down. Time to look deeper within and speak the truths you find there. Time to honour the journey of our path through life in a connected, thoughtful way.

IN A WORLD RIVEN BY DIVISION, CIRCLES FEEL LIKE THE GENTLEST OF REVOLUTIONS.
A RETURN TO THE MATRIARCHY THAT OUR HEARTS AND SOULS ARE CRYING OUT FOR.

What might it be like to be held in a truly supportive group of women, free from judgment, where you come as you are, and are met in that place? What might it feel like to know your story will be met with openness, warmth and compassion? What might it be like to welcome the spring with your barefeet planted on the earth? Or to honour the turning of the season into winter, watching the sun go down between the trees?

Land here, in nature - and let us take gentle and loving care of you.
