Lets Step In, Macclesfield (2026)

31/03/2026

2 spaces available to join the online Nature Business Circle for nature-based facilitators ~ we begin on the 21st April 🌿

This online circle is designed as a simple, supportive container to help you stay focused, take action and flow with the season as you develop and grow your nature-based work in a sustainable, heart-led way.

Together, as a group, we’ll meet regularly through the year to reflect, plan and be supported as your work evolves alongside the seasons.

A light-touch mentoring and accountability space where you can:
🌿 stay focused on your goals
🌿 get support when challenges arise
🌿 celebrate progress and learning
🌿 share ideas, resources, and receive feedback
🌿 plan your events and offerings

The rhythm follows the seasons of the year, with deeper planning sessions each quarter and lighter check-ins in-between.

Includes the Reaching your Audience 2.5hour Workshop as a replay before the first live business circle sessions start on 21st April.

With optional WhatsApp group and accountability buddy.

The intention is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence, without feeling like you're doing everything alone.

This is for those trained or who are currently in training to become a nature-based facilitator e.g. forest-bathing guide.

If you're interested you're very welcome to join, and we can happily set up a time to speak so I can share more about this offering and we can meet before you decide if it's for you. If you're curious to find out more please do drop me a message or email amanda@letsstepin.com

Looking forward to getting started soon!

Warm spring wishes,

Amanda

🍀We are all guardians of the earth, whether we know it or not 🍀

This Earth Day, join us for a simple act of care for the land we love at "The Edge".

Together with the National Trust rangers , Helen from and we’re gathering for a relaxed morning of community action to give something back to nature.

After a collective clean we’ll come together for a guided meditation of gratitude with Amanda, followed by gentle sound with Helen, before sharing a warm drink together.

This gathering is a small but meaningful way to be part of that collective care.

Calling in my sisters & brothers, collaborators & space holders, of heart, healing & hope across the land ✨💚🍫🌎🎶🥁💃🔥🦅🦉

I can’t hold this in!

It bubbles excitedly & eagerly within me having returned from Scotland.

1st, a story of how this calling has been birthed over the spring equinox....

Driving up to Scotland, I reconnected with the expansive, peaceful freedom I feel when travelling.

I journeyed first to Tynemouth where the path I walk now began in 2019. Emotions arose returning, sadness for something that hadn’t been.

When I 1st stepped onto this new adventure to create a life of happiness I dreamed of buying a camper-van & travelling around the UK visiting lands near & far, seeing where the wind took me. But covid & lockdown put a stopped to that & my path unfolded in a different although perfect way bringing me to my homeland of Cheshire.

Back on the road last week with the trees passing by, I felt the fire ignite to be travelling again.

In the Cairngorms, I connected with more of my why & how. I returned to that 1st step I made in the forest all those years ago where I stepped in to uncover & walk my heart’s path & this is what I am to help others do with cacao, nature & ancestors as our guides.

So, I am being asked to travel again, to visit land & hearts with cacao bringing us together as one.

To gather together near & far for opening, healing, connecting & becoming our hearts, our gifts. And in doing so, collectively we will heal the earth & heal humanity one patch & heart at a time.

But, I am not to do this alone, I am to join hands & hold together with my dear sisters & brothers of heart & earth, those known & those yet to met.

So - come say hello! Let’s bring soul’s together for the magic to unfold. For tears to be released, fires to ignite, heart’s to be healed, truth to open, beauty of soul to unfold.

I will travel to your land, we will hold together as one.

I wait for you in my DMs 😆 or drop me a hello below.

With love, healing & hope,

Amanda

Dear Cairngorms 🗻✨

4 days in the magic of the Cairngorms for the Spring Equinox, I could have stayed forever!

My spirit tingled as soon as I saw the Scottish forests on the drive up, I felt free, a curious explorer of the land.

When dear Karen announced her retreat ~ I knew I had to be there, not knowing why. As it drew closer I knew here lay the missing pieces. It couldn’t have come at a better time, all happens when it does for a reason.

I entered a portal, to heart, ancient earth and its wisdom. Held so deeply by the land, ancestors, spirit, and those gathered.

I released a 1000 tears, let go of fears I know not the name of, opened new parts of my heart, connected deeper to spirit, activated my voice, received wisdom from the land, strengthened my fire, and gained a deeper understanding of my heart’s path and the role I came here to play.

Thank you dear land
Thank you Cairngorms
Thank you forest, its trees and mosses
Thank you lochs and rivers
Thank you dear spirits that live amongst the trees
Thank you land so alive with wise teachings
Thank you dear birds, the winged ones
Thank you air, earth, water and fire
Thank you to the ancestors of us all
Thank you cacao
Thank you to the medicine of the souls who gathered

Forever in my heart, forever changed x

As I land slowly home this week my heart’s path comes more into vision, parts of me I’ve unknowingly been shying away from are no longer held back. I’ve been reminded of why I stepped onto my true path - that anything is possible and I am back to going courageously all in - the brave, strong heart warrior has returned!

Magic weaves beautiful new tapestries from my heart. All wishes to unravel with speed so I stay grounded and connected to be present with this feeling of being full and open in my heart.

Let’s step in to the heart, back where my journey began amongst the trees

With love, gratitude and abundance,

Amanda x

With thanks to for the wonderful experience with your winged friends

Weekend with nature ~ how we spent our days outside!

After a winter of deep burrowing it felt soooo good to be back out side amongst nature for 2 full days this weekend.

I'm so grateful the warmer weather is here!

Beautiful morning spent up at Macclesfield forest on Saturday, I went in the search of 2 pines - as John Muir said "between every 2 pines is a doorway to a new world" so it felt like the perfect spot for cacao and the meditation I wanted to 'do'.

Sunday morning, after Skye's besties birthday party (we've started a (local) trend of celebrating our dogs birthday - it's so much fun and a good excuse to have a hot cuppa and treat whilst the dogs wrestle and play!)

It was then on to the nature space to do some preparation for the new season. The other week I had some help from those who completed The Elements of Wellbeing journey with the hedgecutting (it's looking mighty fine still). This week I created a new rose bed and we installed a new herb planter that my dad had made that now needs filling! Helpers welcome!

It was extra special to plant the roses on International Womens Day, bringing their heart healing, feminine energy and beauty into the space. Fingers crossed they are happy in their new home.

Rounded off by mum's roast dinner, before being on a guest panel at Nature & Therapy IWW celebations which was a nourishing way to end a wonderful nature filled weekend.

I'd love to hear what you got upto in nature this weekend?
Let me know in comments or over message.
Are you spending more time outdoors now the weather is slowly warming up?

With love,
Amanda

p.s. Lmk what you think of my first edits reel with voiceover!

2026 Opening The Land ✨

You are warmly invited to join me for a gentle morning to pause, give thanks to nature, and open the season together.

Honouring this land that holds and support all that have been and will gather here.

Nature gifts us so much and so it is so deeply important to give thanks and show respect to nature in this way. This is very much the practice I hold in my heart, and everyday amongst the noise of this world I have to continuously return to these ways so not to be distracted by the unnatural ways of the world today.

And so, as the season begins to turn and the first signs of spring start to appear, we’ll gather to welcome the return of the sun, warmer days, and a new year of gatherings in this beautiful space.

An opportunity to step away from the busyness of daily life and spend quiet time in nature - offering gratitude for the winter season before gently turning towards the months of growth ahead.

We’ll begin by gathering around the fire with a warming cup of ceremonial cacao, before slowly walking the land together in reflection and offering.

Gentle flow for the morning:
✨opening with gratitude around the fire
✨ceremonial cacao with heart-connection practice
✨2026 intentions & gratitude tree
✨ gentle walk on the land
✨ short introduction to the Elements of Wellbeing & 2026 offerings
✨ connecting in heart-led community

You are warmly welcome 💚

📍Gawsworth, Cheshire

A contribution of £15 is suggested, if you’d like to join and finances are tight please send me a message with your suggested donation
