The Wild Circle

Spaces for ritual, reflection and connection. Women's circles in Gloucestershire and online. That beauty is access to joy.

I believe in beautiful spaces for women to come together in safety and solidarity, to find sanctuary and soulful connection as often as they need it. I trained in circle facilitation with Sister Stories, and believe in their mission - that ‘going to circle’ should become as commonplace for women as going to yoga. I believe in the importance of slowing down and connecting with yourself and your com

munity of sisters. I believe we need ritual in our lives, something that signals to our minds and bodies that it is time to stop, to reflect, to be curious and open. I believe we all deserve the chance to spend time in the presence of beauty. That we all deserve to make time for joy. I believe in being inspired by the words and stories of others, that all women, all over the world, all have a story to share and something to teach us.

~ our quiet power ~

“Kindness moves through us like sap, like blood, until our limbs rub up against each other, and we remember: We are not one, but part of a sacred grove.” James Crews

I am still soaking up the inner warmth and the feel of sunshine in my heart that has been with me since Saturday.

Every time we run Ground & Gather, it feels like a momentum of growing wisdom, fronds of kindness rippling out from our circle, an absolute sense of quiet power and infinite grace.

Part of our ritual this time was to connect with a big, open ended question inside us. To write it down on a leaf, a bark, a stick. And then to place it somewhere in the woods a amongst an ancient root, in the crook of a branch, in a nest of leaves. Entrusting the question of our lives to the great wisdom of nature, of the endless cycles of life, of everything in its time.

The woods are taking great and nourishing care of those questions now, holding them in ancient wisdom and trust, waiting patiently to see what emerges as we open into the path ahead.

And of course, also, this summer edition we created a woodland feast - 20 women, gathered around a long table amongst the trees, eating home-cooked food, sharing their stories and lives with each other, in the most simple and sacred of ways.

Our next retreat is in September - and is already half sold out. If you'd like to be there, to welcome the new season and quiet power of being together in the woods, then head to the link in our bio.

Circle last week. What potent, powerful magic. Warmed by the evening sun, gathered in my garden, around this altar of flowers, held by each other, by nature, by the earth, by circle. Beautiful, enormous, courageous hearts offering stories and truth with such grace and vulnerability, witnessed with compassion, curiosity and attention.

I was moved to hear that two of the women in our space had found the grounding power of circle to be a tonic for them in challenging months, a held, embodied memory of safety and support that they returned to when the overwhelm threatened to land too heavily.

While another woman arrived in our space after a difficult and emotional day, which she navigated by knowing she had this community of women to land in.

This moves me beyond measure - to know that the spaces we hold together reach their threads out wider than the 90 minutes we are together. That the medicine and the magic stays with us, a steady companion for our lives.

If you'd like to make a regular practice of circle you can join me once a month, on a Tuesday evening, to be held in this very special space. Sign up at the link in my bio

We're planning something really special for the summer edition of Ground & Gather - a shared feast together, under a canopy of trees; a women's circle held in a wild woodland glade; sunny afternoon hammock lazing; meditations standing barefoot on the earth; and a beautiful ritual that allows us to integrate and embody the simple, sacred power of being together in the woods.

These woodland retreats are becoming such nourishing and powerful days together, and we'd love for more women to experience the beauty of grounding and gathering in nature.

We're already half full, so head to the link in our bio to book your space - we'd absolutely love to have you with us.

An invitation to circle. To hold yourself and your stories with infinite care, to meet truth with compassion, to be witnessed in our, joy, pain, uncertainty, in our knowing and our not knowing.

A couple of spaces left in circle tonight - link to book in bio

So looking forward to tomorrow. So blessed that this is my life. Never ever not entirely and completely indebted to for making this a reality.

The training starts again in April and it's deeper and more expansive and comprehensive than ever. It truly truly has changed my life. If you would like more info on the training please DM me or head to

I love this. The stories of others are the things that awaken truth within. They're what unlocks our hearts and reminds us that we are not alone. They are what connects us more deeply to the mythology of our lives and our lineage. Our stories deserve to be told, to be heard, to be witnessed. Not in a noisy space where everyone is competing for a voice - but in a beautifully held, safe, brave, courageous space that centres deep witnessing, trust, compassion and honouring. This is the space you'll find with me, in all my circles and retreats.

Slow morning. Going gently with a tender heart. Today is always rough. Not just the absence of anywhere to send a card with heartfelt words, not just the posy of flowers from my garden that I take to a grave rather than the warm hands of my mother. Not just the choice between going to church with my family (which I like to do on Mothering Sunday) and watching the boys play a football match (which I love doing). Not just the expectation of a day that is meant to feel special but which my children are often too tired, too little, too emotional to really honour in any meaningful way. So I'm going slowly. Feeling into the what feels possible without asking more than anyone needs to give. Right now, that means drinking a damson gin in my new 🌶️ glass from my husband, and scrolling photos of my mum, mothering me by being with me so gently and constantly as I raised my babies.

Sending love to those with a mother and without one today. And those with children and without children. Everyone matters.

A snapshot of future magic. Bluebells. Green shoots amongst the trees that, warmed by the sun in the coming days, will bloom into precious bluebells.

Bluebells that (crossing everything) are going to be out when we gather in the woods a week from today. Bluebells that will encircle our circle, that will carpet the woodland floor with spring colour. A simple, beautiful reminder of nature's resilience. Of everything in its time.

When we gathered in this place in November, the ground was hard, the earth was closed for the winter. It seemed impossible that life would come back to the quiet, frosty ground. But under the earth, held safe in the fertile soil, the bluebells were resting, waiting, gathering, nourishing, knowing, trusting. This too shall pass. Winter has softened into spring.

Come and walk amongst the bluebells with us. We have two spaces left for our Spring retreat. Link to book: https://www.thewildcircle.space/retreats
