ABUNDANCE // 💫🌲❄️🙏🏽✨🍄🪶 I've spent today foraging across beautiful Welsh Countryside in readiness for this Friday's Down At The River 'Supper Club'.

Outside of what our farmers traditionally grow, their land also sports, incredible trees and plants (go chat with them, ask questions and look at the landscape!).

If you've been to one of our retreats you know my thoughts on supporting good, local produce.

Today, I extended that ethos as I purchased materials for Fridays Wreath Making, Supper Club (have you ever seen a Holly Bush so glossy 😍!?).

I think it's so important to know what you're consuming / working with, always supporting locally grown where ever possible.

There really is an abundance of magic out there!

I'm so excited to work with the best nature has to offer in making our wreaths this Friday (your supper, equally as special 😋).

If you'd like to join us, we've space for you. Here's the deets 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

HAPPY STRAWBERRY FULL MOON // in all her glory, at full luminous as of 03:44 GMT this morning. WOW! 🍓🌝

This Full Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius ♐ offers a time of great renewed energy. Think adventure, freedom, joy and contentment.

Here's the catch........

This Strawberry Full Moon will be the lowest, Full Moon we’ve experienced in years and she'll expose ALL (if you're conceling something, you might want to read on!).

It's time to clear out the conflicting energy & speak your truth. Gossiping mistruth, just won't do! If you didn't experience it for yourself, keep it out of your mouth and if you've done wrong, it's your time of ownership. This energy will serve you well, where TRUTH is concerned.

When it comes to relationships; do not leave any stone unturned! I'm talking about partnerships AND friendships.

This applies across the board; business, pleasure & beyond.

It's time to take out the toxicity! W**d out the wolves in sheep's clothing and LET THEM GO!

It’s time to savor life’s sweetness and connect with the love, trust and abundance surrounding us. However, before we can truly smell the roses, we've got to take out the TRASH!

Symbols of love, purity and prosperity will only present where healthy boundaries are applied. You know what to do, boo!

These energies are mega. Who doesn't love them a Sag!? ♐🏹

I can't wait to delve in deeper. Today's going to be a great day! ☀️

If you’d like me to read your Full Moon cards, you can book your audio, card reading now!

Audio Readings are infused with an energy cleansing and distance healing.

They can be re-played and listened to as often as you’d like and are send on email with a photograph of the card/s drawn.
