New Women's Circle April 2026
I am opening up places on a new women's circle, on Skye, starting in April 2026. Circle dates to be decided (based on availability), but likely Sundays 10am - 2pm. The circle will roughly follow the wheel of the year, although the dates will be between, rather than on, the festivals, so we'll start with an Ostara-Beltaine circle in April, and roughly six weeks later will gather for a Beltaine-Litha circle in May, and so on throughout the year, ending with an Imbolc-Ostara fe

#MonthOfMinistry 2026
This year everyone is invited to be part of #MonthOfMinistry Over the last three years, we Interfaith Ministers, have been posting about our diverse ministry on socials during the month of February. But this year we're doing something different! Inspired, in part, by the great loss in our community of Nicola Coombe, an Interfaith Minister dear to so many of us, who lived her life deeply committed to LOVE. #MonthOfMinistry this year is a call to loving action in the world.

In this 1 day course I give an explanation of the mind and how meditation works; teach you an eff

TWIA UK Wedding Celebrant of the Year
I felt like I'd been transported to an alternate reality. From the wilds of Skye, barefoot in nature, holding intimate elopement ceremonies, to all the glitz & glamour of the #TWIA UK Awards! There were stilt walkers with wings, indoor fireworks, magicians, a red carpet, an illustrator, a casino & the most fabulous array of glittering outfits! It was magical & a LOT! Mostly I just wandered around in awe 😆 photo credits @mattrockprophoto and @colinlaveryphoto As the award

I Taught the #Effortless500
If you are part of the #EffortlessTribe you’ll know I’ve been on a mission for the last wee while to teach Effortless Meditation. I received a message years ago to teach 500 people and this week, I did! It took me twelve years! Some years I taught lots of people (like when we traveled around the UK in our bus) and others (like in covid) just a few people online. I ran a giveaway for my 500th place and Brooke from Illinois won. It’s been an honour to teach every single pe

Womancraft Publishing's Newest Author
Today I was announced as Womancraft Publishing's newest author!!! Can you hear my happy squeals? Being a writer has been a long-held dream, probably the longest held, if I'm honest. I've been writing several books for years. This particular book came to me at the time of ordination; literally landed with me half-formed in meditation one day. I knew the sections, some of the chapter titles and I knew I would approach Womancraft to publish. Like many things in my life, it

Inspiring Women
Around forty women joined us to celebrate International Women's Day on 8 March 2025. We gathered at Skye Bridge Studios in Kyle of Lochalsh for a full day of inspiration, connection and empowerment. It was the third year I'd co-hosted an International Women's Day event. In 2023, we showed the film Girl Rising , which told the story of nine girls around the world, striving beyond circumstance, pushing past limits. Their dreams, their voices, their remarkable stories - captur
