⚠️ Warning: Life Changing ✨

I’ve spoken about this a lot recently, but the change I’ve noticed in myself since joining and then holding women’s circles has been huge.

I’m less stressed. More present. Life’s challenges don’t seem quite so overwhelming, and I genuinely feel happier.

Am I perfect? Absolutely not.

But I do feel more connected to myself, and I’m getting better at navigating whatever life throws my way.

What’s beautiful is that I see this change in the women who return to circle too. More confidence, more calm, and more trust in themselves.

We’re all rooting, rising, and growing together 🌿

What a magical community you’re helping me create ✨

If you’re feeling ready to join a circle you can send me a message, or find the link in my bio to book 🫶🏻

Love,
Zoë 🌙

Beyond the Circle ✨

Whilst monthly women’s circles are at the heart of Root and Rising, they’re not the only way we can gather together.

I also offer bespoke experiences for life’s special moments, including

🌿 Mother Blessings
🌙 Bridal Blessings
🫶🏻 Baby Naming Ceremonies
✨ Witchy Birthday Gatherings
🤍 Private Women’s Circles
🌸 Workshops & Collaborations

Each gathering is thoughtfully created around you, blending relaxation, connection, creativity and ritual.

If you’re looking for something a little different to celebrate a special occasion, I’d love to create something beautiful with you.

Love,
Zoë x

Full Blue Moon Gathering 🌕

Quite possibly my favourite altar so far! Most of the flowers came from my garden too, including the huge rose in the centre from a new plant. What a showstopper ✨

It was such a beautiful evening gathering with you all. And this circle felt especially meaningful because, for the first time since starting Root and Rising, every woman attending had been before.

To welcome you back again and again is something I don’t take for granted. I feel so blessed to hold these spaces, and so grateful for the community we’re creating together 🤍

It was also the first time I got teary in circle.

Being vulnerable myself has taken a lot of courage. Sometimes I still think I need to have everything figured out, or show up perfectly… but I don’t. I’m just another woman navigating a beautifully messy life alongside all of you 🌿

There is still one space remaining for our next gathering on the 14th June if you would like to join us ✨

We’ll be welcoming the Strawberry Moon in Gemini, exploring themes of abundance, gratitude, curiosity and healthy communication 🫶🏻

Love always,
Zoë x

The Full Blue Moon 🌕

Should I have posted this Saturday? Yes
Is it still relevant? Also Yes ✨

The energy will hang around for the rest of the week, and it’s still the perfect time to complete the little seasonal ritual.

Was amazing to gather with everyone on Sunday evening after a crazy and hot half term 🫶🏻

1. Slowing down is not lazy 🌿

2. I already know the answers to many of my own problems, I just need time to find calm and listen to my intuition ✨

I see this reflected in the women who join our circle too. No one needs fixing. I truly believe what most of us need is time.

Time for ourselves.
Time to relax.
Time to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that get buried beneath responsibility.
Time to create and reflect (and get a little woo as it’s a lot of fun!)

We all need spaces where we can simply be. In a world that constantly asks us to achieve and keep going.

Being a part circles has genuinely changed me as a person, and I feel so honoured to now create these spaces for other women too 🫶🏻

With love,
Zoë 🌙

Every altar starts life on my kitchen table ✨

This time my daughter helped me create it too, which was so wonderful( (and far less stressful than I imagined 😅)

This Ta**us New Moon has pulled my attention back to my foundations, highlighting the places where I don’t feel fully steady or supported.

I’ve been trying to make more time for myself to help, but as always, I find myself distracted by this app… and the endless to do lists running through my mind. The past couple of weeks have felt like a battle of wills, and if I’m honest, I’m just a little tired.

But Gemini season is coming, and I’m ready for its vibrancy, and movement. Bring on the sunshine and summer plans ☀️

Love,
Zoë 🌙

Lilac season is almost over 🌸

This syrup has the most beautiful floral flavour — perfect over ice cream, drizzled onto pancakes, or added to a cheeky evening G&T every now and again ✨

One of my favourite things about living seasonally is discovering flavours you’d never find on a supermarket shelf 🫶🏻

Should I bring some along for everyone to try at our next circle?

Love,

There are so many layers to a women’s circle ✨

You would have thought by now that I could accurately say what a woman’s circle is, and what happens in one. But the truth is, it is extremely complex.

We gather to relax.
We gather to simply be, and stop needing to achieve.
We gather to slow down.
We gather to rediscover ourselves.
We gather to find community.
We gather because we know the power of women.
We gather to re-awaken lost traditions.
We gather to balance our energy.
We gather for a little bit of magic and creative ritual.
We gather to quieten our minds, so we can really listen to our thoughts.

I could go on, everyone arrives with a different reason as to why they have joined, but everyone leaves feeling lighter, calmer and ready for the best sleep they’ve had in ages.

If you’re feeling curious to discover circle for yourself please send me a message and I can give you all the details to book 🫶🏻

Lots of love,
Zoë 🌙✨

Beltane in Highworth ☀️

What an absolute joy to celebrate this ancient festival in Highworth. If you’ve never been before, I’d really recommend experiencing it at least once.

There is nothing like community, celebration, and wonderfully eccentric British traditions (especially when they’re full of love!) ✨

Exploring these seasonal festivals and forgotten traditions is something I love weaving into my Wheel of the Year circles too.

Our Summer Solstice gatherings are coming soon, held at Berry Farm on 21st June and Ashra Wellness on 26th June 🫶🏻

Look forward to seeing you there,

Love Zoe x
