The term ‘spiritual accompaniment’ may be unfa

The term ‘spiritual accompaniment’ may be unfamiliar to you, but it could be for you if:

💛 You would cherish a bit of time to drop beneath the surface of everyday life and check in with your deeper waters
💛 You want to further cultivate (or begin cultivating!) your spiritual path and would like gentle support in doing so
💛 You could do with some space to hear your yourself think!

I gave and received spiritual accompaniment sessions throughout my two year training, and found it to be a gentle, supportive and magical space. One of things I love most about it is that it is not overly concerned with exploring some linear narrative. By following the subtle and meaderings promptings of the heart, I found that it helped me unlock deeper, more mysterious truths about myself - by releasing the need for answers, I found the ‘why’ would often offer itself unprompted.

If you have any questions at all, you can book a no-obligation 30-minute chat to get to know one another and answer all of your questions by clicking the link in my b1o.

♥️ ALSO - I am currently offering half-price sessions for anyone engaged in movement/activism work - do get in touch to find out more.

September: a blessing 🍂

September arrives with a quiet patter of rain
in the grey early morning.
Seemingly overnight, the mantles of the horse chestnuts
have started to glow
And their long scratchy-fingered leaves have begun
to paint the damp pavements.

Do you sense any parts of you
That wish to accept autumn’s invitation to slow down?

Do you feel a letting-go within you
that is waiting for your permission to happen?

Do you feel any sense of cosiness
In allowing yourself to be gathered into autumn’s feathered wings,
Ready for winter’s rest?

In order for trees to lose their leaves
They must surrender something beautiful
that they’ve worked so hard to create

They must trust that each season has its wisdom
And that without the dying-time
There can be no miraculous resurrection in spring

Dear one, however this autumn finds your heart;
May this slowing-down, letting-go, gathering-in time
Offer you something that nourishes you

May you become aware of all the ways you’ve been
extended out into the world lately
And may you invite your energies home to roost

May you find rest, beauty and mystery
In these darker evenings
And refreshment in days of cold blue skies

May all of us have the courage to surrender our leaves
in the trust that they might become the rich compost
From which bright daffodils may one day spring.

Reading this feedback on my Heart Space community

Reading this feedback on my Heart Space community mindfulness sessions was one of those moments…

You know, those moments when you realise you are living past you’s dream. In this case, my nerdy dream of creating inclusive and yummy inter-spiritual spaces 🥹

Heart Space sessions provide a little room in life to connect with ourselves in a deeper way through the portal, the metaphor, the wisdom of our hearts.🫀

This month I’m very excited to be offering a special autumn equinox Heart Space on Wednesday 18 September from 7-8.30pm. Come along and practice breathing, reflection, journalling and resting together.

All so very welcome - register for free at the link in my bio. 🍂

🍂 A September Blessing 🍂

As much as I’m 💯 an autumn walks, hot mugs of tea, gloomy-weather sort of girl, I know we all relate to the seasons changing differently. However this September finds you, I offer a blessing, with love 🧡…
