Honoring the Wheel: Celtic celebrations and rituals through the seasons

I am a heart-centred nature-based therapist, facilitator, and artist. I have a wealth of experience with children aged 2-18 in schools, community, and charity settings, including 6 years supporting autistic children. I also volunteered as an art therapist with adult refugees and asylum seekers for a year. My approach is rooted in my love of the animate earth and our interconnectedness with all beings.My deepest desire is to facilitate connection at a heart level within ourselves, with eachother and the natural world. The aim of which is countering and healing the predominantly separatist, individualistic, isolating patterns prevalent in modern society. I believe this separation is at the root of many current global issues, the biggest of all being the climate emergency. Dangerous misconceptions that we can plunder resources without impact to ourselves and other species, that there is an 'away' where we can throw waste, that we are not fundamentally dependent on a livable earth for our very survival. Thus my drive to heal this rift is strongly linked to my passion for environmental issues.

Year of celebrating celtic festivals. Journey through the seasons. Align with nature's cycles. Space to BE & see yourself mirrored in nature

Beginning at the start of the celtic year in Autumn, we will journey through the seasons, observing the equinoxes and solstices, carving out ritual space for ourselves. Deep nature-connection enhances wellbeing, supports our self-care, and honors the cyclical ebb and flow of our own energies. We will come into awareness of the seasonal cycles, the elements, and nature-symbolism and how it can relate to our own life-journey.If you&#x27;d like a ticket for the entire year see here for discounted price (updated to only include sessions from Feb onwards) https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/261700963627 1st date: 29th Oct.

Marking the return of light to the world as the days begin to grow longer again. An opportunity to descend into stillness, into the earth, deep into the foundations of our being.
