In September 2008 I made the decision to stop travelling all over the country to give workshops and talks, base myself in my own locality of Derbyshire, and only accept work from within a 50 mile radius of my home. This means I have become more rooted in my own environment, and have had more time for local projects. I have, however, decided to accept a limited number of workshops, ceremonies or talks that take me further a field and both last year and this I have been thrilled to be working at Chalice Well in Glastonbury.

I have also begun to move away from running workshops on my own and have been enjoying co-creating workshops with other people whose heart-energy and experience I deeply value and trust.

I am continuing to develop ways that encourage all participants the freedom and power to create sacred and ceremonial space together and to co-create a loving, safe, supportive, inclusive workshop community from which to explore our deep innermost feelings. Using a variety of personal development techniques, ceremony, sacred craftwork, inner journeying, drumming and voice work we become open to what is alive in us. By creating new intentions and actions for healing we bring positive change into our lives, our communities and into the world. As always I am committed to creating connection to the Earth and her cycles of transformative and changing energy.

Workshop Programme 2010:

Turning the Wheel

Connecting to the rhythm of the seasons through each of the Celtic festivals and its underlying energy.

Each celebration includes co-created ceremony, a variety of deep and fun ways to bring connection and renewal to our relationship with the Earth, sacred craftwork, drumming, singing and community networking, so that we become alive to ourselves and the world around us and feel inspired to be fully present and active in these changing times.
