As I walked down by the river this morning with my daughter, we periodically paused to stand by the waters edge and plop in sticks and stones. We do it when we are by the sea too. We stand there for ages skimming stones and plopping pebbles, breathing in the water and offering our breathContinue reading “Water for water”

Recently I have been unexpectedly tumbled into a process around my willingness to be with and reclaim those parts of myself I have exiled for some reason or another. In this case, it has been around belonging and my heartbreak, grief and despair at the fractured state of humanity in these times. I am alsoContinue reading “Embracing the exiled”

Our hands reach and Fingers spread like Branches stretching out. We touch the heavens.Continue reading “Embracing down”

Our next Nurturance group will be on exploring our cells: the communities that live within ourselves and how they connect us to our wider environment, and each other. Some thoughts and inspirations: ‘Cells don’t live in isolation.

I wrote this poem to bring together some of the musings I have been having about motherhood and soul work. It saddens me to hear women say they lose their souls in mothering, although I understand it as a part of my truth too. My ongoing journey is in recognising my souls fulfilment in beingContinue reading “The soul in my motherhood”

And time and time again my body reminds me – slow down. Wait. Listen first. Movement can be evoke a timeless spaceContinue reading “The importance of arriving.”
