✨January Women’s Circle: Shedding & Shaping✨

A morning to release the skin that no longer fits, and shape what wants to grow from winter’s stillness.
Held through myth, creativity, movement, and shared reflection.

As we step into December - the season of light, gathering, and celebration - we’re also invited into winter’s quieter rhythm.
A time when nature softens, asking us to rest, retreat, and gently reset… even as the world grows busy around us.

If you find yourself holding both the sparkle and the overwhelm, you’re not alone.
And in the new year, when the festivities fall away, there will be a space waiting for you to come home to yourself again.

📅 Sunday 18th January 2026
📍 The Ishta Centre, Stone, ST15 8HD
⏰ 10am - 12.30pm
💛 DM to reserve your place

🌟 And if you’re looking for a thoughtful festive gift this year, why not offer someone you love the gift of time and space?
I have bespoke gift vouchers available for the January Circle - a gentle invitation to begin the new year with clarity and intention.

✨ World Dramatherapy Week ✨

For as long as humans have gathered around fires, we’ve shared stories to understand the world and our place within it. Dramatherapy continues that process - using story, image, movement and play to help us make sense of our experiences.

It offers ways to explore and express what can be hard to put into words. By working with objects, characters or creative expression, we can bring what’s inside us out into the open - where it can be seen, understood, and sometimes gently transformed.

Because Dramatherapy is an embodied approach, it doesn’t just involve talking about things. The process of Dramatherapy invites us to feel and experience change through the body. When we move, create and connect in this way, it can help the nervous system settle and new patterns begin to form.

And it can also be playful. Through play, we reconnect with our curiosity, imagination and sense of aliveness; the parts of us that often get lost when life feels heavy or overwhelming.

The British Association of Dramatherapists has invited us this week to reflect on our Dramatherapy superpower.
For me, the superpower of Dramatherapy is its innate ability to help us remember what it is to be fully human - to be present, to feel, to imagine, and to make meaning through story and creativity.
