...to the well... in memory of a wonderful woman. Sonja Eckl, known to many as Ganga. She inspired me to do Ministry Training. She connected me with lots of amazing people, bringing together therapists and others in the Health Oasis. She trusted me with her weddings and other ceremonies when she wasn't well enough to do them... She was so loved by so many and blessed so many couples with ceremonies over the years. She's left a deep hole in the community. As there won't be a

A gorgeous Samhain ceremony with @space_for_grace_scotland and our women of the wheel (part of A Year With the Wheel). We journeyed back through our female lineage to find the gifts the grandmothers passed to us. And explored the wise, knowing, intuitive, nature connected, earth loving, healer and holder in us... the 'witch' within. We wove all the gifts of all the generations back into ourselves. So much insight... wisdom... connection and synchronicity as always. My gift fr

We record our Year With the Wheel Lughnasadh ceremony. Lughnasadh falls at the traditional time for holiday, so it ensures we can have a holiday and that our Women of the Wheel don't miss it. One of the unexpected benefits of recording was that I could experience it myself this morning! With my crazy, spun-out summer diary, I woke early to spend an hour listening back. It was so gorgeous! Even the parts that made me laugh at myself (is 1000 000 000 a billion? Surely its not

I woke up with an empty diary (other than volunteering at Youth Club tonight)... No zooms! Awesome! Of course I could've spent the day writing ceremonies, updating my website, doing some banking, uploading blogs... but after a lazy morning when I asked myself 'What would bring me joy?' the answer took me by the hand and led me outside... reminding me to grab a sketch book, paints and inks on the way. I knew where I was headed... to hold ceremony, to have an encounter with a b

I'd been having some awareness about integrating the inner masculine and feminine. I seen in meditation that the two altars I'd most recently created had the same form, the female form, with womb containing egg, ovaries and birth canal. In the second altar I added a tall vase and placed the egg into it (it looked pretty phallic from the side! Did I unconsciously bring the masculine into the feminine?!) I'd also became aware in meditation that this second altar mirrored the s

This altar has been a long time in the creation! Normally I create a new altar for each Wheel of the Year festival... intuitively gathering items from around my home and from nature, to create something of beauty - an offering if you will. Every six weeks I dismantle the last festival's altar and allow the new one to come forth. But I was away at the Solstice, then caught up in Christmas, socialising between Christmas and New Year and away again at New Year.... So this is m

My dreams have been crazy for months... lots of them... super vivid... multiple in a night... remembering them enough to write down the next day. So I started some dream analysis... My first session was a 1:1. The teacher said it sounded like my subconscious was trying to communicate something. She asked which dream I wanted to work with and I chose one that was so memorable I felt like I could climb back into it. I talked her through it... although its never that easy to do

Loved the honouring of Imbolc and Brigid at a ceremony I held tonight with a dear friend... We journeyed with Brigid the Goddess and Brigid the Saint. Here's an imbolc doll I made earlier today from twigs and moss and sheep's wool and yarn and fabric. She has a wee sack to carry my seeds of intention into the Spring. #imbolc #ceremony #doll #altar
