Red Thread Mother and Daughter Retreat

One room left for our December mother and daughter retreat.. could this be for you and your daughter (ages for the daughters on this retreat is 9 – 16) ?

The essence for this retreat is that of deepening connection between mothers and daughters, and opening to any joy, strength, and also healing, through the ancestral lineages.

The red thread, in many ancient cultures, is a symbol of connection. It is symbolic of the invisible yet powerful bond that links us to others, to our ancestors, and to our own truth.

In ceremony, it often represents sisterhood, and for this retreat of the bond between a mother and daughter, and the female community that has gathered.
In this there can be a reminder that even when life is challenging, we remain connected by love, lineage, and shared purpose.

Red is the colour of life, vitality, and blood, the primal flow that nourishes and sustains us. Working with the red thread we can be with the blood and energetic lines within the female body, reawaken creative flow, and strengthening connection to Mother Earth and our feminine power.

Our Red Thread retreat is a ceremony of connection to self, to others, our lineages, and to the invisible web of life. It will weave intention, remembrance, and love into something tangible. The ceremony can remind us that the flow of ups and downs in life happens to each of us, and we can learn together.

Our Autumn Equinox Mandala

We gathered ferns, acorns, stones, apples from our orchard flowers, and feathers, with love. We began to craft in mindful presence.

We created it as an offering of gratitude to the land at Sunny Brow, Mother Earth, the elements, the unseen realms, and the ancestors.

We asked for support, wisdom and guidance for all of us who were to gather for the retreat.

The circular pattern of our mandala mirrored the cycles of life, seasons, moon phases, breath, and the wheel of time.

We invited in a remembering of balance at Autumn Equinox, of the sacredness of Mother Earth, and the beauty, harmony and abundance around us.

Once the retreat was complete, the mandala was given back to the elements. We connected to the impermanent nature of reality. And said goodbye with an open heart and gratitude.

Rituals remind us to slow down, reconnect, and create meaning in the simple moments - lighting a candle, pouring tea, setting an intention.

Each retreat weaves these sacred pauses throughout your experience, helping you come home to yourself.

Oracle cards have formed such a great part of my holistic journey. They are a great way to unfold self-enquiry and highlight areas that are going well, or needing work!! They can bring insight and creativity, and can connect you to great spiritual teachings across many different traditions.

Here is a 3-card reading I did for myself for my 50th. I hope it inspires you to use this amazing tool kit for yourself. There are many ways to do readings and many great authors/card decks. Do message me if you wish me to share my other favourite ones, or recommend some that may suit you.

When I looked up the cards afterwards this is what I found. This whole process has been a very meaningful exercise:

Past Card: Mis - Divine Madness
“Mis is the original Wild Woman, speaking for us all; for the rage which we cannot express, for the grief which eats our hearts out, for the voices we’ve suppressed out of fear. Ultimately Mis is healed by love and gentleness, and as a consequence, is able to return to the world with new strength and focus”

Present Card: Quest
“A quest is a directional journey with a distinct purpose or goal – a pot of gold, a home, the answer to a mystery – which is clear from the beginning, even if the precise trajectory of the journey doesn’t always work out exactly the way it might have planned.”

Future Card: Bean Feasa – Women’s Wisdom
“The Wise Woman – the Bean Feasa, literally means the ‘woman of knowledge’ – is a key figure in Celtic folklore. She’s a powerful healer whose methods extend beyond the practises of herbalism which are typically associated with wise women of other traditions…. With her help, we can discover the wisest courses of action, and the wisest decisions to take, along our path.”

Name Evolution�

Recently I decided it was time to make my name change official through my work and personal life. As you can imagine it’s not been super easy. I had already put off this change for a few years so as not to inconvenience everyone, and myself. But it became time. I felt the call so strongly to step into a new era, with my evolved name, I had to brave the change.

I have navigated the world as Suzy since my 20’s, and before this I was Sue, and before this in my childhood, my christened name, Suzanne. Looking back, I have had a journey through my name that maps my life, an unfolding that tells a story of how I have changed and grown. Suzanne, Sue, Suzy and now as I enter a 50th decade I am choosing Suzy-Anne.�

Suzy-Anne embraces the road through Sue and Suzy, and reclaims the Anne of my full name, for wholeness, and to invite in deeper connection with Anna, one of my spirit guides. I have no idea how the name/life journey will unfold from here. But I am open and free to see.�

Thank you to everyone for your support.�
