Happy Solstice weekend… we have had Summer Solstice celebrations on our land for the last 7 years or so… it’s the guardians of the Red Tent St Albans, which I am one of, and the Men’s group in St. Albans who hold and organise this. It’s one of my favourite days of the year- a day filled with friends old and new, ritual, games, music, laughter and above all, community. We need this more than ever. In a world that feels more and more fractured and broken, I feel the importance of creating pockets of togetherness, connection to life, reverence for our earth. ☀️ ☀️☀️

42 years of friendship….
From sleepovers to (Turkish) weddings, homework, holidays, family dramas, loss of parents, 5 kids between us, trans Atlantic moves… a lot has happened … and beautiful food has always been at the heart of it, somehow. So glad that you mums love for cooking and sharing food was instilled in you, … and rubbed off a little on me…
On to the next 42 years 🥰

It was time to get my 5000+ emails down….
And all the treasures I found…. The perks of not deleting all emails…..

Can you relate ?

And so, only nearly 20 years later than everyone else, I read ‘s “Eat, Pray, Love” for Ethel first time- and finished the last chapter, well, with view of Gili Meno…. (IYKYK)

I don’t know why I hadn’t read it before- I guess I was too busy with my own version of the storyline- and then with kids etc. - and somehow her other books always seemed more intriguing…

So good to finally be having a holiday where I can actually start AND finish a book.. 🏝️

☀️ how about you? Have you read Eat Pray Love? Or any other of Liz Gilbert’s books?

Last picture is actually a photo of Gili Meno, where we stopped on our snorkelling trip 🤿 🐚 🐠

Yesterday marked 10 years of our Red Tent circles in St. Albans. That’s 121 times that we created a space for women to gather, to sit in circle, to be heard without judgement, to listen deeply, to bring all of us…
We have traversed so much… births, deaths and loss, illness, pain, joy, celebrating each other and holding each other when we needed it most.

Often women feel hesitant to come to their first circle… the subtle mistrust of whether we can truly feel safe with others often sits deep….

For me, I wouldn’t know who I would have become without them. It made a huge impact on every aspect of my life, deeply personal parts as well as professionally. I found my people- it made me feel connected and I didn’t know how much I needed to be in a group of women that was not just made up of -in my case at the time- new mothers.

Red Tents are not for profit, we all do the work on a voluntary basis and we drop the roles we otherwise hold when we gather in circle. It’s a beautiful and precious and much needed movement - and I love how it spreads through the roots around the world.

Do you sit in circle with other women? How does it support you? And if not, why not?

⭕️❤️🔥🐺

PS: if you live close by and would like to join us, dm me and we’ll ll direct you. Otherwise have search in google and see if you can find one near you.

This is the reason for almost everything I offer. To support people to get off the hamster wheel, to connect deeply with themselves, with nature within and around, to rest deeply.
This Sunday afternoon, we rest together for an hour. You can join by following the link in my bio xx
(And it always helps if you share this with others ;-)

Yoga Nidra is my most treasured medicine for deep nervous system soothing. It is the most simple (lay down, listen) and nourishing practice I know. Especially for women who can feel their bodies shifting towards (peri) menopause. I’m offering an online practice this Sunday 11th February at 5pm. £15.
The link is in my bio. Any questions, please ask. Xx
