What if you could hold your intention in your hands?

For our September New Moon Cacao Ceremony, I’m inviting you to bring a small natural object from home or somewhere meaningful to you.

Something from your garden or found on a walk.

A stone, seed, shell, leaf or piece of wood.

Nothing needs to be bought. Just something that feels significant to you.

You’ll place it on our altar when you arrive, and throughout the evening it will become a symbol of what you choose to tend, honour and carry forward.

As we gather in circle and sisterhood, you’ll be invited to slow down, listen inward, release what is complete and connect with what you’re ready to nourish.

And at the end of the evening, you’ll take your object home with you.

A small, tangible reminder of the intention you set.

Of what matters.

Of what you’re choosing to give your energy to.

And perhaps, over the coming weeks, every time you see it, you’ll remember:
What I tend, grows.

What you tend, grows.

This sounds simple but imagine applying that to your own life.

Instead of asking:What do I need to achieve?

You could ask:
What do I want to nourish?
What deserves my attention?
What brings me alive?
What relationship do I want to nurture?
What part of me has been asking to be seen?
What dream has been quietly waiting for me?

What would happen if, instead of scattering your energy everywhere, you chose a few things that genuinely matter and tended them with care?

Not perfectly or relentlessly but consistently.

A little attention, nourishment and love.

Again and again.

Seeds don’t need you to shout at them to grow. They need the right conditions.

And you do too.

This September New Moon, I’m inviting you to come and spend an evening slowing down enough to listen to what those conditions might be for you.

Good morning from France 🇫🇷☀️

I’m here visiting two beautiful people who, three years ago, were complete strangers.

We met by chance while out enjoying a gorgeous walk from Arbroath to Auchmithie near where I live in Scotland

At the end of the walk, my friend and I got chatting to this lovely French couple. They’d planned to have lunch at a local restaurant, but that didn’t work out, so we rummaged in our bags and shared what we had left of our lunch with them.

We offered to drive them back to Arbroath, where their car was parked.

Except, when we got to our car, my friend realised she’d left her car keys in my car at the other end of the walk 🤦‍♀️

So instead of a quick lift back to their car, we ended up spending the next hour and a half together, waiting for the bus and singing all the French songs we’d learned at school all those years ago!

By the time we eventually got back to our cars - which happened to be parked next to each others- we’d been invited to visit them in France.

So here I am sipping my coffee on their balcony. We visited them last year and now we’re back again.

Somehow, two strangers have become friends who feel more like family.

It got me thinking about all those little moments when something happens that feels like a complete pain in the butt.

The missed connection.
The delay.
The wrong turn.
The thing that doesn’t go according to plan.

Sometimes it’s not going wrong at all.

Sometimes, there’s something else unfolding that we simply can’t see yet.

Our forgotten car key didn’t cause a problem. It simply created the space for a connection neither of us could’ve planned.

So today, when something doesn’t go your way, pause before you decide it’s a problem.

There might just be a bigger story unfolding.

Because sometimes the detour is where the magic happens.

Much love, Karen 🫶

“Wherever you are drinking your tea whether at work, in a cafe or at home, it is wonderful to allow enough time to appreciate it”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

I love this quote because there’s something so simple about it.

A cup of tea, a quiet moment with the warmth of the cup in your hands.
The taste.
The aroma.
The pause.

Yet how often do we actually allow ourselves to be there for it?

We drink while scrolling.
While answering messages.
While thinking about what needs to be done next.

Always somewhere else. Always doing.

So today, I’m inviting you to pause.

Whatever your version of this is, be it tea, cacao, coffee, sitting in the garden, walking by the sea, listening to the birds, feeling the sun on your face.

Whatever it is, be there.

Not thinking about what’s next.
Not trying to make the moment productive.
Just being.

Be in the peace.
Be in the stillness.
Be in the gratitude.
Be in the love.
Be in your body.
Be with yourself.

Sometimes the most nourishing thing we can do isn’t another practice, another task or another thing to achieve.

Sometimes it’s simply to stop and be here.

In those little moments of presence, we remember what we can so easily forget.

This moment is life.

So, beautiful soul, take the time.

Sip your tea.
Take a breath.
Look around.

And actually be here for it.

Much love, Karen 🫶

What are you ready to prune?

I was out in the garden last night, cutting back what has become overgrown and it made me think about how often we do the opposite in our own lives.

Sometimes we keep tending things long after they have stopped nourishing us.

An old expectation.
A role we’ve outgrown.
A responsibility that was never really ours.
A relationship dynamic.
A belief about who we’re supposed to be.
A version of ourselves we no longer need to carry.

Letting go doesn’t always mean making a dramatic decision.

Sometimes it’s simply choosing to stop giving something your energy.

To stop feeding it.
To stop trying to make it work.
To stop carrying what is no longer yours.

Like a gardener pruning back what has become overgrown, we can create space for something new to breathe.

I invite you to ask yourself the question:
“What am I ready to stop tending?”

And then beautiful soul, pay attention to what becomes possible when you do.

This is one of the invitations we’ll be exploring together at my New Moon in Virgo Cacao Ceremony on Thursday 10th September, 7-10pm in Inverkeilor Village Hall.

A gentle evening of cacao, guided journey, embodiment, sound and reflection.

A space to release what is complete and make room for what matters.

If you’re feeling the call, come and join us.

Much love, Karen 🤎

Being the “good girl” can look like kindness.

Until you finally realise how much of yourself you’re giving away.

If you’re anything like me, the people-pleasing can have become so deeply embedded that we don’t even realise we’re doing it.

We soften our truth.
We swallow the no.
We over-explain.
We anticipate everyone else’s needs.
We become who we think will be easiest to love, accept or approve of.

Somewhere along the way, we can lose touch with the woman underneath it all.

The people who truly matter in your life don’t need a carefully edited version of you. They need the real you!

Your laughter.
Your opinions.
Your boundaries.
Your needs.
Your messy humanness.
Your no’s just as much as your yes’s.

Real connection doesn’t come from being endlessly accommodating. It comes from being honest, present and fully yourself.

And yes, I know that can feel uncomfortable as f*** when you’ve spent a lifetime learning that being liked, needed or “good” keeps you safe.

Simply learning to say no isn’t always enough.
You have to start recognising the patterns that taught you to abandon yourself in the first place.

The ways you’ve made yourself smaller.
The beliefs that tell you your needs are too much.
The fear of disappointing people.
The nervous-system patterns that keep pulling you back into what feels familiar.

And then, beautiful soul, little by little, you begin to come home to yourself. Not becoming someone new but becoming more of who you were before you learned you had to be anything else.

When you stop living from people-pleasing and start living from self-trust, you make decisions because they’re right for you and not because they’ll keep everyone else happy.

You set boundaries without needing to justify every one of them.

You stop carrying responsibility for everyone else’s feelings.

You have more energy because you’re no longer constantly performing, anticipating and over-giving.

You become clearer about what you want, and braver about going after it.

You feel more at home in your own skin.

And perhaps most importantly, you get your life back.

The people around you don’t get less of you.
They finally get all of you.

But this time, so do you.

This is what real kindness looks like. Not abandoning yourself to make everyone else comfortable but learning to include yourself in the love, care and consideration you so freely give to others.

Much love, Karen 🫶

Where is your energy going?

Not where should it be going.
Not where everyone else wants it to go.
Not where you’ve become accustomed to putting it.

But, where is it actually going?

Your attention is powerful and what you continually give your attention to grows.

Maybe there are things you’ve been tending out of habit, guilt, obligation or out of fear of what might happen if you stopped.

Maybe there are other things quietly waiting for your attention.

Your body, your creativity, your relationships.
Your joy, your dreams and your own wellbeing.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about becoming more intentional about what deserves your energy.

Tend what matters.

That’s the invitation we’re exploring in our September cacao ceremony, as we gather in circle and sisterhood to slow down, listen inward and reconnect with what matters to us now.

You can’t think yourself into feeling safe.

You can know you’re safe, tell yourself you’re safe and understand that the situation you’re in is safe.

You can even have all the evidence to prove that you’re safe and still your body doesn’t believe you.

Your shoulders stay tense.
Your breath becomes shallow.
Your stomach tightens.
You stay alert.
You anticipate what might go wrong.

Safety isn’t just something we understand with the mind. It’s something the body needs to experience.

This is where I think so much of the nervous system conversation misses a deeper layer.

Regulation isn’t simply about telling yourself to calm doon!

It’s about creating the conditions where your system can begin to experience something different.

Where the body can soften, the breath can move and the protective patterns don’t have to work quite so hard.

This is part of what initially drew me to Silent Counselling.

It gives us a way to work with the body, breath and nervous system, rather than trying to think our way through everything.

Sometimes your mind already knows you’re safe but, ultimately, your body needs the opportunity to experience it. Again and again.

And that’s where the work begins.

I offer 1:1 Silent Counselling sessions as part of my client packages.

And spaces are also available for my next online Silent Counselling Practitioner Trainings on
Sat 12th & Sun 13th September or Sat 7th & Sun 8th November.

Day 1 is an opportunity to experience the work for yourself, with personal healing and growth at the heart of the day.

Days 1 + 2 are for those ready to step into Practitioner Certification.

If you’re curious and wondering whether this could be the right next step for you, DM me and let’s have a chat.

There’s no pressure. Just a chance to explore it, ask your questions and see what feels right.

Much love, Karen 🫶
