This week I signed up to a training course to become a certified Hypopressives Trainer for Pelvic Health. This curious curve-ball has actually been weaving its way into my life for the last few years, since I first attended a hypopressives class in Spain with a friend and was struck by the positive feedback fromContinue reading "Ancient and Modern"
Heart Fire
As I write this, I am sat in my home in central Portugal, surrounded by wildfires on all sides. The closest fire, which seems to be the most widespread wildfire in Europe at the moment (the current burn area has reached almost 85,000 hectares) and has been blazing out of control for almost a weekContinue reading "Heart Fire"
Gentle Power
Yesterday was 08/08, the Lionsgate Portal day, when the brightest star in our sky, Sirius, aligns with the Sun and Earth. I always find it a potent day. As it's in August, it's linked to the Leo constellation, and therefore carries themes of visibility, courage, personal power and leadership; what I would call more masculine,Continue reading "Gentle Power"
Ant Wars
A fiery, volatile energy swept through our land last week. The anger energy was present, it moved through us like a tornado, sweeping everyone up in its path, away from solid ground. And then it passed quickly, leaving fragility and tenderness, yet also clarity and tentative new insights, and a swift return to love, inContinue reading "Ant Wars"
Honouring Mary Magdalene
Having shared a piece of writing about Mary Magdalene just a few days ago, it subsequently came to my attention yesterday that today was the celebratory day of Mary Magdalene here in Portugal. She is definitely in the field... I brought her energy into my online yoga class last night, curious to see where thisContinue reading "Honouring Mary Magdalene"
We’re Just Tubes
This week we've been hanging out with the worms. We went to pick up a trailer load of nicely rotted down horse manure from our neighbour, Cat, in exchange for her taking the hay from our bottom fields for her horses. After a fair amount of shovelling, we discovered that, squirming around in the stillContinue reading "We’re Just Tubes"
The Path of the Few
I found this piece of writing from a few years ago recently and I love it so thought I would share it here. I remember it flowed through me from another place and timeline, Interestingly, yesterday was Mary Magdalene day I heard - one of the holders of ancient feminine mysteries. Labelled a prostitute, inContinue reading "The Path of the Few"
Hum Like The Bees
Hum like the bees. They know things we do not. They try to teach us through being. Become a unique cell in a multi-cellular organism, at every scale. At some point in evolution there is a quantum leap and cells become self-organising, drawn to work closely with other individuals dancing to the same tune, driven byContinue reading "Hum Like The Bees"
Hugging the Crocodile
I recently completed my 2025 'Coming Home, Yoga and Nature Immersion Retreat for Women' on our land and the richness and depth of the journey that myself and the circle of brave women who chose to join me have travelled together has touched my heart deeply. From the start, I felt a 'weaving' energy withContinue reading "Hugging the Crocodile"
Whispers of the Soul
Yesterday was an odd day here. One of the biggest power outages ever recorded in Europe took out the electricity and mobile phone/internet communication for the entirety of at least Spain and Portugal for a large part of the day. We were driving back home to Portugal from southern Spain, having spent a week inContinue reading "Whispers of the Soul"
