A gentle invitation for January
Hello Reader, As we move into January, I wanted to share a couple of spaces I’m holding this month — both created as places to pause, reflect, and come back into yourself at a steady, human pace. One is online, free and open to everyone. The other is a small, local circle in Sedbergh for those nearby. There's more info on both gatherings on the website if you need it. Free Online Ritual Gathering - Wednesday 7th January Wild Rose Gatherings are free, lightly structured online sessions...
Finding Your Voice (Even When It’s Hard)
Hey Reader, How are you?If you're new here, welcome to the fortnightly Journal. In this one you'll find my latest blog post, 'How to Speak Up When You’re Scared (Why It Feels So Hard + How to Find Your Voice)' - and oof, this got me right in the puddings this week. Finding (and using) your voice is such a process, and a messy one at that. In this post, come along with me on the journey, and we'll also look at some practises to begin on this part of the path (many of these I talk about in The...
Simple Rituals to Restore Joy
Hi Reader, How are you? Are you feeling the push/pull of November's energy - the one that's basically in our bones to soften, to slow down and to continue the journey within (I'm personally feeling this even more with Venus about to head into the 'underworld' behind the Sun) - mixed with having the pace of everyday life turned up to 11, too many things to remember (and thats just what 'day' it is at school this week that stuff needs preparing for, someone remind me when it's Christmas Jumper...
Healing ancestral wounds and reclaiming your voice
Welcome to another Wild Rose Journal! I'm writing this one a little more ahead of time than usual - because it will be half term when this goes out. Enough said!! It's also now a time of year when the Scorpio Hermit in me needs reminding that I actually can't disappear into my metaphorical cave, however much it's my default setting. Despite having 3 kids, I still dislike the commercial 'Haribo-Halloween' as I call it. I prefer to stay home and do my rituals... The day after Halloween/Samhain...
Sacral Chakra: Reclaim Your Emotional Flow & Creative Power
Welcome back to the Wild Rose Path and to this latest Journal issue - It's been a while since I started the Voice Reclaimed Series, but here we are finally with the next installment - all about the Sacral chakra, and how it relates to reclaiming your voice and speaking from your own truth. If you're like me, you keep an eye on the astrological goings on, and HELPFUL YouTube videos (Lee Harris' Energy Report...I used to do Energy Reports with occasional cameos from then-toddlers... maybe I...
Moving Through Change + Founding Round of Rose & Ashes
Hi Reader, How are you this ass-shifting Eclipse season?! It's all change here, new jobs, new routines...but with the newness is not-quite-the-end of the oldness. There's a little bit of 'hanger-on' left! Of course, the beginnings and ends of cycles are rarely clean-cut. But right now really feels like a time of change - collectively in the bigger picture, and on a personal level - right down to the roots. Often the re-rooting can hit us the hardest - a real shock to the core. Although we...
A Ritual for Remembering + First Look at Upcoming Offerings
Welcome to this issue of the Wild Rose Journal! As I'm writing this, I feel like it's a real time of transition - outside there's a thunderstorm rolling through the fells we live under; inside the kids are going batshit crazy because we've got to the point where the school holidays have gone on tooooo long... and next week my youngest will be starting school properly - so for the first time in I-can't-remember-how-many years, there's Mon-Fri without at least one small person to look after....
What Happens in a Women’s Circle? — A Wild Rose Path Reflection
Hey Reader, For this issue of the Wild Rose Journal, I want to share what really happens in a women’s circle — beyond the ideas and expectations. It’s a space to show up as you are, hold the messy and the quiet, and connect with others who understand without needing to explain. A Personal Note: My Journey into Circle Facilitation But just before we dive in, I'm excited to share with you all first that from this autumn, I'll be training with Sister Stories to deepen my skills as a circle/group...
A gentle invitation: reclaim your voice & new ways to connect
Dear Wild Rose, Sometimes the most radical thing we can do is come home to ourselves — to slow down, breathe, and listen deeply. If you haven’t yet, The Voice Reclaimed, my free 3-day workshop, is still open for you. It’s a gentle invitation to begin reclaiming your voice with breath, ritual, and heart-centred reflection. No pressure — just space to be exactly as you are. Since our last email, I’ve shared some new reflections over on my Substack: Sitting with Rosemary: Scented Memory, Lived...
What’s happening this month (and a free gift)
Hi Reader, Now that the move to Wild Rose Path is underway, here’s a quick update on what’s happening this month — including June's women’s circle, a free resource for new mums, and the latest Journal post. Wild Rose Renewal Circle – Sunday 22nd June (Sedbergh) Women have gathered in circle since forever—to find comfort, share what we know, honour life’s changing seasons, and gently let go of what we’ve been carrying. As we speak (or just listen), we see our own struggles and joys reflected...
