Have you ever considered that the perfect time to celebrate New Beginnings may not be during Wintertime?

👂Hear me out...

Winter is naturally a time of rest. The trees and plants become dormant. Animals and insects hibernate and hunker down. It is a time to conserve energy and there is an instinctive pull inwards.

☃️There is even the concept of Wintering - the mindful process of withdrawing to care for oneself.

Contrastingly, in the Springtime we witness the start of the return of light. Trees burst into bud. Critters begin to re-emerge. A literal time of New Beginnings and the Vernal Equinox.

🎑 Another more aligned time to celebrate could be Autumn - following the final harvest of crops. Taking stock and time for reflection - Autumnal Equinox.

The reason we have come to celebrate New Year in January is not in alignment with natural cycles - which is why it feels out of sync for many. It was created purely for administrative, political & symbolic reasons. Those who continued to celebrate in Spring were called 'April fools' and mocked.

🫂 When it comes to Re-mothering ourselves, it is important that we honour our own innate, natural cycles. Sometimes that means doing things differently to what we have been told or tell ourselves.

Share with someone who will appreciate this!

Re-mothering is not about going solo🫂

It’s about learning how to receive care 》from your body, your breath, from nourishing activities and from others.

This sits at the heart of my work with Yoga, Community groups and Birthkeeping support.

Welcome to The Mother Rite 🪷

A space where re-mothering means the practice of self care, nourishment, and community and where motherhood or matrescence is seen as a rite of passage to be witnessed.

🤍Yoga & Birthkeeping Support🤍

You don’t need to be calm, flexible, or “doing it right” to be here.

Save this if you feel at home.

❄️ Leaning into Wintering.

🤍 Giving myself permission to slow down, enjoy nourishing comfort food, and soak up all the family time. It's not about being unproductive, but about rest and restoration.

🌀 Embracing the natural rhythm of the season.

A bumpy/birthy day guiding followed by North Wiltshire HomeBirthers meet-up!

23/11/2025

Curious about homebirth? Passionate about homebirth? Come and chat with a cuppa in Calne this afternoon! For Mums, Couples, Children and Birthworkers welcome to join too! Get ready for powerful stories and powerhouse doulas bursting with wisdom to share 🥰

Don't forget we have a meet up meet up this afternoon, Sunday 23rd November.

The meet up is for anyone interested in homebirth, whether you have had a homebirth, want a homebirth or are just considering a homebirth. Ask lots of questions if you're a 'homebirth hopeful' or a 'homebirth contemplator' and share your experiences if you're a 'homebirth veteran'.

We will be meeting in the Lansdowne Strand (in Calne), in the Harris Room, which can be found by turning left after entering the main doors.

Birth partners and children are more than welcome, as are birth workers (doulas, midwives and antental teachers).

Whether you want to ask people about their experiences of giving birth at home, discuss local birth pool hire options or just or chat to others who are interested in home birth, do come along to this informal meet up.

Our meetings are open to anyone within the North Wiltshire area, from Swindon and Chippenham, to Trowbridge and Marlborough, and everywhere in between.

Although you do not need to book, it would be helpful if those planning to do so, did register their interest, by following the link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1964474570322
