Do you feel as though you drag yourself through winter? Does it feel depleting, a struggle?
Are you looking at this winter with trepidation?
Do you find yourself trying to race through to Spring, instead of savouring the deep, rich opportunities of these dark months?
I used to simply try to push on through, not listening to my body, to my mind, to my soul. I suffered as a consequence.
Instead…
We’re going to walk kindly, resourced and in community through winter, with connection to self and nature, completing as we tip into spring!
We’re not going to try and run, race or push through winter – it’s not that time of year.
It’s a time for inner stillness and wisdom, for embracing the dark as well as the light.
It’s a time for being cozy, and nourished, for continuing to embrace everything nature has to offer us.
A rich opportunity to embrace cyclical living
A time to equip ourselves with the resources we need.
Yes, we have real-life commitments - let’s resource ourselves for them.
gathering:
~ together, nourishing through connection
~ drawing in the resources we need
Our themes will be explored through the lens of nature connection and embodiment
my offering to you:
We’ll walk together through winter, November to March, with curiosity, self-compassion and connection.
We’ll combine supportive in-person gatherings with bespoke resources to guide your own personal explorations outdoors in your chosen natural spaces.
This programme is deliberately designed to expand across a spacious time frame, from November to March. It asks your commitment to self, and will reward it. You’ll walk through winter and into spring with greater self-efficacy and with the support of me, our practical, research-proven tools, and an amazing group of women.
Combining techniques from the worlds of coaching, embodiment and nature-connection, you’ll be resourced and regularly restored, throughout a time that many people in the Northern Hemisphere feel depleted, uncertain, less engaged and less motivated. Like never before in this generation, people are feeling trepidation for these months.
Join us.

You’re ready to embrace the possibilities that visioning in these dark months can open up;
You want to create and maintain balance and trust in self throughout this ‘darker’ season;
You want to explore how deeper connection with your body can build greater understanding, trust, awareness and choice;
You’re looking at the challenges of this coming 2023-4 winter with some trepidation;
You need a space to step into regularly to replenish, reconnect, recharge, re-orientate;
