Last sunday we gathered in the Yurt and held our son a ceremony to honour an important right of passage for him, to celebrate him and support him as he approached his first week of Forest School.

Sadly, he had a really difficult first experience of nursery. After months of perservering, he just couldn't settle in the environment. He was overstimulated in the setting, developed intense anxiety, had nightmares and frequent meltdowns, so we took 4 months off trying to rest and reset.

We were determined to navigate the whole thing differently this time, marking this huge moment with intention and in ceremony, just as we do for many occasions & milestones in our family.

As you might predict, our son is very familiar with the idea of 'circle' & 'ceremony'. He regularly gathers his teddies to sit in circle, smudging them, drumming for them and passing a talking stick around. He asks for 'mummy son circle' and we sit with cacao, sing, whisper intentions and he pulls our cards.

For a child who is a non-stop mover & sensory seeker, it still shocks me that he can drop in to sacred space like an adult. He just gets it. I guess it's in his blood ❤️

For his special ceremony, he was surrounded by his closest, most favourite people and we each offered gifts to support him; a protective talisman to wear, a worry monster, some beautiful new books, bubbles (of course) and an incredibly delicious cake made by the gorgeous Mostly thinking about food (because he KNOWS it's not a ceremony without Tareg's cakes 🤣).

The following morning, we followed the magical fairy trail through the woods and found ourselves at the Forest School gate. He was visibly nervous, yet after a big cuddle and kisses, he went off into the woods with his new teacher and didn't look back.

When I collected him, he was calm, regulated, had eaten all of his lunch and we had a gorgeous afternoon afterwards. This has never happened before.

He returned the following day and again a few days later - with the final drop of shocking me to my core. He simply ran through the gate, without even saying goodbye! So excited to be there.

I don't really have words for the sense of relief I feel, knowing that he feels safe and secure.

I have no doubt that this setting is so much more suited to his needs than the previous one, which plays an enormous part in how easy this transition has been for him. Yet I truly believe that the ceremony we held had a profound impact on his level of understanding of what was happening on a deeper level and therefore an acceptance of the change to come.

The ceremony helped to make sure he was prepared energetically, emotionally and physically and that he felt deeply supported.

Perhaps you are also navigating a personal shift or your family is moving through a time of transition right now. I would so love to know whether you already honour this time in your own way or whether perhaps this story may have inspired you to 🙏🏼

I was so immersed in the last 2 days that I didn't take a single photo.

So thank you to the sister who kindly took this video of me warming up the crystalline beings! 🤍

Luckily was there to capture some of the many beautiful moments.

I want to celebrate for creating such a unique and powerful conference, full of inspiring speakers, wonderful practitioner s and an authentic, uplifting atmosphere.

A place where women are in full support and celebration of each other, are able to be honest, raw and real.

Grateful for the connections made and the existing relationships that have been nurtured.

Thank you for having me back to close the event with Cacao & Sound (for a 3rd time!)

I have just been looking through my phone at photos of June and July and realised that over the last couple of months, I must have shared Cacao with over 150 beautiful people and offered a sound journey to over 200 people.

Attending 3 festivals Sowena Cornwall CIC 'Sunshine & Soul', Robbie Debenham 'Soundbath' and Rock Oyster Festival has offered me the opportunity to connect with SO many wonderful beings and share snippets of my offerings with people who might never have heard of a 'ceremony' or 'plant medicine' or felt the unbelievable effect that sound can have on their nervous system.

I absolutely bloody love what I do and am so grateful to each person who has spent time with me in some capacity during one of these epic festivals. Whether you've tasted your first sip of cacao, sat in a tent, closed your eyes and connected to your heart, trusted me to drum over your body, pulled a card and shared what has come up, booked on to a circle or ceremony or paused and had a chat with me - thank you.

If you are new here and you'd like to be kept up to date with upcoming offerings, please DM me your email address to be added to the mailing list. Or just say hey!

And for August, I am having a little break from my work, spending much needed time with my little team and attending Medicine Festival with no space holder hat on! eeeeeek!

With Love,
Ali 🤍

NOW SOLD OUT

This evening might be for you if:-

- You'd like to explore or deepen your ability to connect with plants from these lands;
- Life has been non-stop recently and you'd like to lay down, stop doing and receive some deliciously healing sound;
- You have no time for small talk and you seek authentic and honest connection with other women (with no screens in between you!);
- You feel the need for re-establishing your boundaries and/or energetic protection;
- You have a yearning to step into a space where you instantly exhale, feel your body soften, surrender into relaxation and are celebrated for honouring every single one of your needs, with no need for explanation or justification.

Yarrow is a native perennial herb, with many healing benefits, including supporting menstrual cycle regulation, reducing heavy bleeds and relieving pain. It was carried by Roman Soldiers to stop the bleeding of wounds.

Yarrow is a protective herb, helping us to seal up leaks in our energetic field and re-establish healthy boundaries. It supports us when we may feel emotionally drained or experiencing sensory overload (excellent for us neurospicy!!)

The Yarrow we are journeying with has been grown in my allotment in Cornwall. We will work with the plant in a variety of ways, including freshly picked, in a tincture that's been macerating since the Full Moon in Capricorn and a fresh lovingly brewed tea.

If you are interested in finding out more or joining us in circle, please follow the link in my bio.

Send me a DM for a discount code if you'd like to bring a friend 🤍

A couple of weeks ago, I had the absolute honour of holding a closing ceremony for the magical Amy Jones - Business Strategist | Yoga-Trainer | Podcaster business mentor retreat at the breathtaking The Zen Den .

The women in circle had spent six months inside Amy's container, exploring their purpose and deepening into who they are and what they offer.

As I dreamed into this ceremony, I saw imagery of these women in a sacred period of gestation and labour of love, reshaping the way they approach their businesses, rewiring old perspectives, and preparing to rebirth their offerings in a way that feels deeply aligned with who they are now.

My intention in holding the space and guiding the journey was to create an energetic threshold for each woman to approach. Where she could meet the parts of herself that had protected her until now, thank them for all they had done, and lovingly release them from being the decision-makers.

In their place, she was invited to meet the version of herself who lives in deep trust, in her own wisdom, her worthiness, and her capacity to receive success, abundance, happiness and balance.

From there, she stepped through a symbolic portal, rebirthing herself into a world that was ready to receive her, celebrate her, and welcome her unique offerings.

The closing ritual felt super potent and brought a HUGE smile to my face. Each woman was invited to meet her mentor, Amy, one final time at the threshold, receive her closing words of affirmation, and then step through the portal into the waiting embrace of her sisters, who welcomed her with open arms and wholehearted celebration.

Whilst I always begin with a clear intention and theme, it's incredibly important to me that I drop into the energy of the room when I arrive. I listen deeply to what arises in the space and trust myself as a channel for something far greater than my words can explain, so each woman can receive exactly what she needs.

I'm so grateful to Amy for trusting me completely to follow my intuition and create a ceremony for her community at such a meaningful point in their journey.

I genuinely love this work. Whilst I'm wonderfully inconsistent on social media, I like to think I make up for it with

June! What a glorious month of ceremonies and circles (a seperate post is necessary for the last two events of the month I think ✨️ Amy Jones - Business Strategist | Yoga-Trainer | Podcaster

A gorgeous 1:1 ceremony supported by cacao, sound, journeying and energy work.

Being held by the beautiful Caroline Wade and Merrewyn Conlay at the 'Wild & Wise' gathering in the Yurt

The Mother-Daughter Circle

It is such an honour to hold women and their daughters in circle.
Welcoming the girls in to witness and experience the power of women sharing honestly, with vulnerability and listening with compassion, supporting without advising and learning that rest does not need to be earnt.
Showing them the importance and beauty of building a connection with the land, the plant spirits and the energetic realms (and realising that they are already so deeply connected!)
And we learn just as much from them!
I am reminded by the girls that creativity cannot and should not be rushed, that playfulness can (and should) be injected into almost anything and that young people are the most intuitive, connected, unfiltered and magical beings.

Mother-Daughter Circle creations!

Magic infused Wands/ Talking sticks for each mama-daughter pair.

My heart burst open when I received a message the next days saying that a Mother and Daughter had already used the talking stick at home.

Another Mama shared this:

"it’s just hit me how important today has been...Like such a sacred initiation for her, and for me as her mother too. It’s literally got me in tears thinking about how today is a day I will never forget..What a blessing and a privilege. Thank you from my heart for offering and creating this space: it’s soooo beautiful and so needed. Not just for the next generation & us too, but our ancestral line - both ways! - who will undoubtedly benefit so much from the healing"

And that sums it up really ❤️

This circle might be for you if...
• You feel disconnected from your womb space, yet you can sense there is wisdom, pleasure, grief, creativity or rage waiting to be heard.
• You feel a knot in your throat when you try to express yourself honestly and freely.
• You find yourself people-pleasing, shrinking or holding back to keep the peace.
• You are longing to connect with yourself and other women in a way that feels more authentic.
• You are ready to trust your own inner knowing rather than seeking external validation.
• You already walk the path of womb and voice work, and recognise the unique power of gathering in circle with other women.
• You find it difficult to sing, speak or sound freely because you're worried about how it might be received.
• You feel disconnected from your intuition, your body, or your authentic expression.

🌑

During this Dark Moon Womb & Voice Activation, we will be held by the medicine of Mother Cacao as we gently open the channels of the womb, heart and voice.

Together we will journey through:
• A sharing circle
• Calling in the Spirit of Cacao & sitting with her medicine
• Voice activation practices
• Womb connection rituals and guided practices
• Space to receive messages and wisdom from within
• Time for rest, reflection and integration

There will be opportunities to connect deeply with the women around you, as well as moments to turn inward and simply be with yourself.

No experience with cacao, circle work, womb work or voice practices is needed.

If you are interested but have any questions, please reach out.

I look forward to welcoming you into circle

With love,
Ali 🤍

2 SPACES LEFT

Gather in circle with us under The Strawberry Moon, a personal favourite of mine (being a Capricorn Sun & Moon!) to connect with the Spirit of Cacao, drop into a protected and nourishing space that is held with care and integrity.

I often tend to fly through the summer season, filling my weekends, staying up late to make the most of the sunshine and generally moving at a fast pace. When we reach the autumn, I can feel quite exhausted and realise I haven't stopped for a while.

The Full Moon in Capricorn offers us an earthy anchor during the height of summer. A chance to slow down, honour the part of you that needs rest and connect deeply with other women and the sacred land around us.

No experience of circle, ceremony, cacao or meditation is necessary.

Last night's Beltane Circle under the Full Moon was truly incredible.

There was a wild, fizzy and wonderful connection between the women who gathered in the Yurt. Ultimate acceptance, love and compassion was felt the whole evening and each of us was able to tap a little more deeply into her own unique expression. It was unexplainably powerful.

I have been navigating a shift in my own personal relationship with Cacao recently, and as such, the way I am holding space is also naturally changing slightly. I am learning to deepen into and trust in the medicine I have to offer in a new way. Flowing and guiding eaxh practice completely intuitively, allowing myself to channel - with far less constriction from my inner critic and moving into new levels of vulnerability and bravery.

I am forever in complete awe of the absolute magic that happens when women gather. The ripples of energy, the tears, the silliness, the sense that our ancestors are with us in the space, the freedom to express and healing that comes from sharing, being heard, witnessing and existing amongst sisters. It's a remembrance of how we should gather and I fu***ng love it.

If you feel called to join us, my Summer Offerings are now live on the link in my bio. If you are interested but not sure if it's for you, please reach out.

With love and gratitude,
Ali

Yesterday I had the true privilege of holding a Mother's Blessing for a gorgeous soul who has been attending my Mother-Daughter Circles for the last 9 months (the first one when she was just 2 weeks pregnant!)

It has been so special to witness her journey through this pregnancy and then welcome her into ceremony yesterday, surrounded by her closest sisters.

Together, we sat with Mama Cacao, shared in circle, crafted a gorgeous bracelet infused with prayers and intentions, softened into a sound journey, shared delicious food, filled a jar with affirmations and love notes for Mama's post partum time, had special 1:1 connection and bump painting time and an intimate closing ritual allowing space for mama to be held in any way she needed.

Mother's Blessings are a deeply powerful way for a community to gather around an expectant mother.. to hold her, nourish her, celebrate her, witness her and listen to her. To remind her how supported she is.

Whether it is her first or seventh baby, every mother deserves to be held in this way.

It feels even more special that the first ceremony to be held in the womby embrace of the Yurt since her rebirth was a Mother's Blessing.

Thank you Jackie, for trusting me to hold this space for you. It is a real honour and I cannot wait to welcome you back to circle, babe in arms ❤️✨️
