Join us for this half day workshop to rekindle our inner fire, gently emerging from the sweet embrace of darkness to the new cycle of light and life that awaits.
Working with meditation, mantra, movement, poetry, journalling and more, we courageously offer our hearts to the alchemical fires of our generative energy to release the old, welcome the present, and shape what’s to come.
Imbolc is a time associated with Goddess Brigid, bringer of light, fire, fertility, healing, poetry and protection. These gifts support us in the metamorphosis from seed to stem, bringing the fire, nourishment and holding required to transform from a place of visioning and incubating to a time of creativity and growth.

Drawing on a 5-minute meditation from the inspiring Sophia Ansari that has taken on a life of its own in my own practice and offerings.
𝘽𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜: compassionately exploring what has brought us to where we are now. Leaning into the past as the foundations and fertiliser of where we are now. Moving beyond our self-story into the simple yet profound power, wisdom and healing of presence.
𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜: through the galvanising power of our values and our spirit, what gifts do we have to bring out into the world? Recognising that we do not have to ‘save’ the world or anyone else, but only find what is truly ours to offer. Where are we headed? Who are we becoming? What metamorphoses are in motion and how can we nourish them? Letting go of the destination. Trusting the unfolding. Welcoming the mystery.
𝘽𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜: connecting to self, others, nature and spirit. Deepening our sense of community through listening in. Knowing that we have a place in the family of things. Allowing our bodies to both love and be loved. Finding awe in the every day. Sinking into the group container, our own hearts and the natural world to find that we can be seen, supported and celebrated.
