Inner Autumn and Outer Imbolc (late winter): How we can honour our womanly and Earthly cycles.
My Inner Autumn is here, enter raging mean mum mode, unable to mask my frustration in the school yard after my 3 year old was so badly behaved in his sister’s school assembly that me trying to manage him talking and clapping during presentations, breaking up bits of bark, pulling along screeching chairs, running around, […]
Women’s Circles. Female friendships.
I wanted to complete my share about the @mamahood.my.way Self-Care Sanctuary by talking about the sacred and magical space that women’s circles create.

But here’s the thing, you don’t need to be to benefit. And the benefits are great. If you need convincing, my no. 1 […]
