Hooray we are through the darkest part of Winter. Thank goodness today is Imbolc. The beginning of the beginning of the new year. In my book ‘Wild Self’ I suggest rituals you can perform to mark the festivals of the year, here are some ideas for today:

• Walk through your dark house holding a lit
candle. You could place a bowl of milk, some
snowdrops, or a symbol of fertility – it could be a
photo of your pregnant tummy or a corn doll on
your altar.

• When you’re out and the sun is shining, take a
moment to face the sun and express gratitude
for the life that it gives us.

• Make an earth candle to honour our
connection with Mother Earth, who nurtures all
the seeds and roots of plants that are waiting for
spring sunshine. Choose a spot in the garden,
and prepare the ground preferably a day before,
to let insects move on. Consider how much wax
you have for your Earth Candle. Make your hole
accordingly and pack the soil firmly; you can add
some sand if you like. Use a stick as a candle wick
and melt Christmas candle stumps or beeswax
granules in an old saucepan. Pour melted wax
into the prepared hole in the ground, insert the
stick, and allow to cool. Light your Earth Candle
and rejoice! Spring is coming!

• Join a group and learn how to make Brigid
crosses. I gathered with a group of women to do
this and honour the earth – quite a tricky job if
you’re ham-fisted like me.

• Plant a tree. We planted an olive tree and underneath it added a lock of hair of my beloved and a message from darker times for Mother Earth to transform.

If you had met me thirty years ago, you would have found a journalist in London, documenting the world’s spiritual shifts but still searching for my own solid ground. My journey to where I am today didn’t happen in a straight line—it took a meeting with the Dalai Lama, a trek through Tibet, and a profound realization: we are a culture that has lost its roots.

I’m Emma Pruen. I’m a Transpersonal Coach, a Shamanic Practitioner, and a Systemic Constellations facilitator. But more than that, I am someone who believes that our modern ‘stuckness’—that heavy feeling of burnout and disconnection—is actually a call from our wild essence to come home.

What does that mean in practice? It means I help people look at the hidden dynamics in their lives. Whether it’s an ancestral pattern that isn’t yours to carry, or a nervous system that has forgotten how to breathe, I use earth-based rituals and systemic work to help you find resolution.

Why ‘Wild Self’? I wrote my book, Wild Self, after an 18-month journey across Britain. I wanted to find the « shamanic nation »—the people and places reconnecting with the land to heal our modern souls. From sweat lodges to forest bathing, I discovered that the courage to be wild isn’t about being reckless; it’s about being authentic.

Today, I work between the UK and The French Retreat near Bordeaux (which I co-founded with my late husband, Matthew). Whether we meet in a group circle or an online coaching session, my mission is the same: to help you exercise the muscle of courage and step into a life of purpose.

I’m so glad you’re here. Tell me in the comments—where do you feel most « at home » in nature? 🍃

I’m thrilled to announce the publication of my book ‘Wild Self’ this spring. It’s a comprehensive guide to spiritual and nature-based healing across Britain, focusing on the restoration of the ‘wild self’ through ancestral traditions. I explore diverse shamanic practices, including drum journeys, soul retrieval, and the significance of power animals, while also addressing modern developments like forest bathing and deep ecology. I introduce the medicine wheel and the Celtic wheel of the year, which align personal growth with seasonal shifts and the four cardinal directions. Beyond theory, there are practical rituals—such as building stone cairns and creating home altars—to help individuals foster a deeper bond with the earth. I also list practitioners across Great Britain offering a map for those seeking community or professional training. Ultimately, the work advocates for a profound shift in consciousness to remedy the modern sense of disconnection from the natural world.

I am a Transpersonal therapist offering workshops, retreats and one to one coaching. The word ‘transpersonal’ literally means ‘beyond the personal’ - or ‘more than’ personal. I moved into this way of working as I found it frustrating when a therapist couldn’t really work with my soul or spirit and just worked on trying to fix what was wrong. One person described it as: ‘In most therapy, the Self is like a house you are trying to repair. In Transpersonal therapy, the ‘Spirit’ is the light inside the house—and the realisation that you are not the walls, but the light itself.’ It’s not religious but an open framework that accommodates everything from deep religious faith to secular humanism and connection with nature, especially nature in my case. I offer workshops in Family and Systemic Constellations which I put on Eventbrite, Shamanic Healing, Retreats at and one to one coaching. You can book through the link my bio. I’m always available for a free on obligation chat if you’d like to know more

If the western astrologers, Chinese astrologers and all the wise folk I talk to are anything to go by, last year wasn’t just challenging for me. It seems we’ve all been going through it in our different ways - and next year promises to be a much better one. Here’s to that! Have a lovely New Year’s Eve and a much better year everyone. ❤️🥂❤️

When I tell people I’ve climbed to the top of the great pyramid they often imagine it’s like climbing stairs - oh no - this lovely pic shows exactly what it’s like. When I lived in Egypt, people regularly fell off it and died, so just as well it’s now forbidden. But sitting on the top was the most incredible experience, I’ve never forgotten it. Brace yourself there’s going to be more of this - I’m getting very excited about returning to Giza in a few weeks.
