Jackie and I have been having lots of fun experimenting with clay and printing ready to share with you at our Festive Community Crafting event! This is new venture for The Gentle Co and a way for us to have a fun, relaxed day together having a go at some different makes with Jackie’s lovely support. Jackie and I have held spaces together for years but this one focusses on Jackie’s passion for creativity, reusing and repurposing bits and bobs you have at home and giving homemade gifts. #festive #craft #reuse

Introducing my dear friend and colleague Liz who is joining me to facilitate the Samhain Gathering on 31st October. Liz will be bringing her clinical somatics practice, grounding dance and a supportive restorative pose to our group. Liz’s somatics is a very gentle movement practice which brings balance and regulation to the nervous system bringing ease and comfort through the release of holding patterns (tension) in the body. @intelligentmovementsomatics #grounding #samhain🎃 #embodimentpractice #somatics #lincoln

It feels like Autumn is arriving and over the past few years, as I have felt into living more seasonally I’ve discovered a deep love of autumn. It feels like a time when we harvest all the fruits of this year’s efforts and when we reflect on what grew and what didn’t this year and why. We save seeds and seeds fall to the ground already holding all the potential of next year. This is a beautiful time for reflection, gratitude, feeling gently into what’s coming and investing into that without need for any action yet. A time for pondering! And I adore a good ponder! #autumn #selfdiscovery #groupwork
