A wonderful evening last night as the vocalists began their part in the AWENA Community Music Project!

Great vibes, fun and musical wonder. We started the acapella song written by the lovely @hannahlawmusic who led us all into the beautiful lyrical journey about the River Severn.

Thank you to everyone who came and all the musicians/songwriters who have been a part of the project so far!

If you’d like to join us for the next 6 months, finishing in the recording studio, message to find out how you can be involved.

So much love 🫶

Shamanic Breathwork
4th September
6.30-8.30pm
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Join us for a special Shamanic Breathwork Journey as we enter the threshold of Autumn, a season of transformation, reflection, and renewal.

Through the power of breath, we will explore the guidance, healing, and insights this seasonal gateway offers, allowing us to root more deeply into ourselves and our innate wisdom.

Through conscious connected breathing, be guided into an expanded state of awareness, a rhythmic flow where the breath bridges body, mind, and spirit and intention, energy and mystery weave together as medicine

As you journey deeper, receive energy healing and the gentle drum as you release to a specially curated playlist to support the potency of your experience.

This is an opportunity to return to the body, to be held in curiosity and expansion by Mother Earth. A time to shed, receive, and to remember that in stillness, life is quietly reawakening beneath the surface.

The mystery awaits….

Standing at over 5,000 years old, this glorious Yew in Defynnog, Wales was an honour to sit with.

The vibrations are still wandering through the very cells of my being and I kinda just wana shout from the rooftops how amazing the medicine of our land is, the ancient wisdom of the plants & trees, of the stone people and animals, of the Earth, the elements & the rhythmic cycles of nature.

More photos & musings to come…

Clarity 🌿

Being away here in Brecon with the gorgeous @jojo_lunar I have asked these hills, waterfalls, the land to guide me into clarity.

So much has changed recently yet, so much brewing into becoming and I’ve been feeling vulnerable, scared, grief and having to completely let go to the waves of the universe, to the journey of my soul in trust that the truth always exists in purity & being.

I feel in the valley of a huge transition and it’s far more uncomfortable that usual. I’m used to change, movement and shifts but this one is pretty uncomfortable…..old patterns & narratives are presenting with intensity.

I remember listening to a talk once and someone said that when you don’t know the way, when you can’t see where you are going, this is when you are on the true path.

So many amazing things exist and to come.

Feeling this so much.

Thank you to this land, the spirits, the energy & holding of our beautiful, wise mother. To my friends who have truly supported and loved me 💚🌿

This lake is calling, my favourite place. Looking forward to a Brecon adventure with @jo.gill_wildly.embodied next week. This land is so close to my heart 💚

Coming home to love……

Love is what we are, we can spend lifetimes looking for it in others, but love is already being within us, we are born of love.

It’s sometimes too easy to slip into a place of fear, of wounding, inherited conditioning, especially when we see so much going on around us and if the shadow is to rule without integration, but remembering that love is not separate of us or outside of us is what I was reminded of today by a dear friend.

That whatever happens, you are ultimately love and you can choose to live in this vibration within any dynamic. How LOVEly does that sound?!

So, sending love all beings on our journey home ❤️
