🌿 The Stillpoint Within: A 3-Night Silent Retreat | 17–20 April 2026, Sussex 🌿

I’m so happy to finally share this…

The Stillpoint Within is a 3-night silent retreat I’ll be guiding next April - a gentle invitation to pause, rest deeply, and reconnect with yourself.

Held at the beautiful Hill House in Sussex, surrounded by ancient woodland, this intimate retreat (limited to just six participants) offers space to unwind from the noise of daily life and return to the quiet wisdom within.

Across our time together, I’ll hold a space for guided meditation, journalling, breathwork, gentle hypnosis, and creative reflection - all designed to help you soften back into presence and inner stillness.

You’ll be nourished with wholesome vegetarian meals, rest in one of five peaceful rooms, and be supported to truly exhale.

💫 Early Bird Offer - book by 31 December 2025 to save £100

🔥 Friday Flame – November 7, 2025
Justice (XI) | The Tower (XVI) | The Hierophant (V)

It’s been a few weeks since I last shared a Friday Flame. After a quiet withdrawal - a necessary pause to listen and recalibrate - I’m feeling ready to return. And these cards could not speak more directly to that journey.

Justice (XI) – truth and balance.
Justice calls us into alignment - not perfection, but honesty.
Where have things fallen out of balance lately? Where have you been called to tell the truth, even if it shifted what you thought was solid?
This card reminds us that clarity often arrives through courage.

The Tower (XVI) – change and release.
The Tower shakes what can no longer stand. It’s the energy of truth cracking through illusion, clearing space for what’s real.
Many of us may have felt this lately - sudden changes, emotional upheavals, endings, or awakenings that felt disruptive but necessary.
The dragons remind us: destruction is part of creation.

The Hierophant (V) – wisdom and sacred structure.
After the storm comes grounding. The Hierophant invites you to root your learning in something sacred - your practices, your inner truth, your connection to Source.
This is integration - rebuilding not from the mind, but from meaning.

💭 Looking back on your week:
~ what truths have surfaced for you?
~ what structures are crumbling?
~ and what wisdom is asking to take their place?

✨ For me, this reading lands deeply. After my own quiet retreat, I can feel how these energies mirror my path: releasing old forms, honouring truth, and stepping into something more intentional. It feels fitting that this week also marks the launch of my upcoming Silent Retreat - a sacred space to listen, restore, and return to what’s real.

If this reading resonated for you, I’d love to hear your reflections. What part of this week’s flame spoke to your own experience? Feel free to share in the comments - your words might spark something for someone else too.

With love & flame,
Vanessa

🌿✨ Silent Retreat – April 2026 ✨🌿

I’m so happy to share that I’m preparing a 3-night, soul-nourishing silent retreat for a small, intimate group this coming April.

It's called The Stillpoint Within - a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and listen beneath the surface.

This retreat is for those who feel ready to step away from the busyness of life, and reconnect deeply with themselves.

You'll be guided through breathwork, silent walks, creative expression, and energetic alignment.
Held in nature and simplicity, this retreat offers space to meet yourself without noise, without pressure - just presence.

✨ Spaces are very limited (6 guests) to keep the experience intimate.

The venue is currently being finalised, but if you feel the call and would like to be the first to hear when bookings open, you can join the waitlist here:

🔥 Friday Flame – October 3, 2025
Page of Swords | Ace of Cups | Two of Wands

This week the energies continue to be intense - solar flares, Schumann Resonance off the charts, astrological shifts - and many of us are feeling it in our bodies, hearts, and minds. The dragons step forward with a story of curiosity, opening, and direction amid these heightened energies.

⚔️Page of Swords – the curious seeker.
When the energies are intense, our minds can feel scattered. The Page invites us back into curious observation. What ideas, insights, or information has been surfacing for you this week? What have you been learning or seeing with new eyes? Stay curious, not overwhelmed.

🏆Ace of Cups – the open heart.
Amid all the mental activity, the Ace of Cups pours a softer energy. It calls you back to the heart: to presence, compassion, and self-nourishment. In heightened times, the heart is your anchor. Where have you felt a new tenderness, an emotional reset, or the first stirrings of joy returning?

🪄Two of Wands – the choice point.
These energies aren’t random - they’re gateways. The Two of Wands shows you at a threshold: something in you wants to expand, to step out of the old and into the new. What vision is calling you forward? Where are you being asked to hold your spark and choose your direction with intention?

Looking back on your week, what insights surfaced for you amid the intensity? Where did your heart feel a shift? And what future might be quietly calling you as you stand at this threshold?

With love & flame,
Vanessa

🌟 The 7 Realms of the Golden Path — New Cohort Begins Next Week 🌟

The 7 Realms are opening again next week, and I feel the flame stirring.

This is a journey of deep remembrance. A path through seven sacred realms that awaken your essence, clear away what no longer serves, and connect you back to the pulse of your soul.

Each Realm is a frequency, a doorway, an initiation. Together, they form a map of soul healing - one that gently dissolves distortion, activates the golden light within, and attunes you to the Christed heart of divine oneness. This is a journey of vibrational elevation, guiding you into resonance with the golden frequency of Source, where your essence shines clear and true.

I created this journey because I know how powerful it is to be held in a sacred container when you’re stepping into the unknown. We are not meant to walk this path alone. In this journey, you will be held - by me as your guide, by the dragons who walk beside us, by your own spirit team who walk with you always, and by a circle of kindred souls rising together. This is a sacred container of remembrance, activation, and co-creation.

✨ What’s included:
- Weekly transmissions and guided meditations for each Realm
- Reflective workbooks with rituals, affirmation, and prompts to embody oneness
- Live weekly group calls for support and integration

📅 Next cohort begins: Monday 6th October
📍 Spaces are limited - this is an intimate, energetically curated circle

💛If your heart is stirring - trust it.
The Realms are ready to meet you.

Join the Golden Circle of Realm-walkers: a 7-week spiritual journey through realms of healing, remembrance, and activation, guided by Vanessa/Threnai. If you are longing to open your Christed heart and embody divine oneness, and walk a sacred path of healing and higher vibration, then I invite you t

🔥 Friday Flame – September 26, 2025
Ace of Wands | Seven of Pentacles | Sire of Wands

This week, the dragons speak of sparks, patience, and sovereign fire.

🪄Ace of Wands – the spark of new fire.
Something has stirred in you this week - a fresh idea, an inspiration, or a desire to begin anew. The dragons remind us: it doesn’t need to be fully formed. Honour the spark. Even the smallest flame can light the path ahead.

🪙Seven of Pentacles – the pause of patience.
Not every seed sprouts overnight. This card asks: where are you being invited to pause, to trust the slow unfolding? The dragons whisper: tending is as sacred as igniting. Your devotion, even in waiting, shapes what is to come.

🪄Sire of Wands – the sovereign of fire.
This is the dragon of mature flame - fire that is directed, not scattered. He asks: how can you hold your passion with steadiness? Where can you lead with clarity, so that your spark becomes not a fleeting blaze, but a guiding torch?

The story of this week:
🔥 A spark was lit.
🌱 Patience was called for.
🔥 And now you are asked to rise, holding your fire with steady vision.

✏️ Looking back on your week, where did you feel the spark? Where were you asked to wait? And where might you be ready to step forward with grounded passion?

✨ For me, this reading echoed the rhythm of my past two weeks - the pause while I was away, the spark of renewal on my return, and the reminder to hold that fire with steady vision. It felt like a personal mirror as much as a collective one.

With love & flame,
Vanessa

✨I’ve just returned from an incredibly powerful weekend in Wales, with the Circle of Light, and my heart is still glowing. ✨

Together, we held sacred space to transmute heavy collective energy, anchor light codes, and support each other in the work that only we can bring. Each of us carried a unique element of this work, like threads weaving into a greater tapestry, and together we formed a circle that amplified our intention, our love, and our remembrance.

We were held and protected by guardian spirits, including plenty of dragons 🐉, their presence anchoring strength and courage. We also received a beautiful, unexpected message from a bat in the middle of the day reminding us that guidance often comes in mysterious and magical forms.

All of this was preparation for the equinox and the second part of the Year 9 collective journey - a time of balancing, release, and planting seeds of transformation for what is coming next.

I'm grateful beyond words for the circle, for the land, for the unseen currents, and for the dragons who remind us that magic is real, and that we are never alone in this work. 💫

Something very special came home with me from the Spirit Fayre....this beautiful Mother of Dragon bowl 🐉💜

The story behind it feels like pure synchronicity. As many of you know, I walk the path as the Mother of Dragons. So when this majestic bowl appeared, I knew she was meant to journey with me.

I'll be incorporating this bowl into my 1:1 Dragon Mother's Embrace programme, using its sound and energy to support transformation and sacred connection with my clients.

If this video resonates with you, I'd love for you to share your thoughts and experiences below.
