Someone once asked if I was a witch. I think it was meant as a compliment or at least that is how I received it! I do live on the edge of a village in a garden full of herbs and black cats 😆 Past life regressions have helped me heal lifetimes of persecution although a little residual fear can creep in from witch and mother wounds when I claim a little more authority in my work. Is it really safe to share feminine healing arts?
The trainings and therapists I have sought out over the past 20 years have been for my own soul’s healing and growth and what I share reflects that journey… an initial 2 years of yoga teacher training when my kids were very little (life saving monthly respite, I’m forever grateful to my husband ) 18 months of meditation teacher training a few years later, lots of other ayurveda and yoga trainings, a year long women’s leadership course with Red School (menstrual cycle awareness). From my early 30s onwards I developed an insatiable spiritual thirst - there were crystals, the Cathars, Mary Magdalene, angels, the goddess, I sat in cacao ceremonies, buddhist and Hindu temples across the world, shamanic journeys, darshan, sound baths, fire ceremonies, learnt to play the harmonium, joined in with the positivity vibe, hugged trees, visited psychics, had sessions of somatic experiencing, cord cutting, past life regressions, made vision boards, did laughter and every other type of yoga (I draw the line at goats)
I listened to ‘truths’ people I thought were more ‘spiritual’ than me shared that I wouldn’t entertain now! Thank goodness for this journey teaching me discernment. I’ve read a million( ish) books and attended a thousand (ish) workshops. Some of it resonated deeply and healed profoundly, some of it was fun way to spend time with friends and some of it I let go of. Some of it I have returned to over the years to go deeper.
What I am most grateful for is how my need for more authenticity and integrity is at the heart of who I am and what I do.
Outside of life itself’s rich teaching experiences (and there are many 😅) my own therapy of choice these days alongside my meditation and cycle awareness practice is ongoing birth trauma healing, (the work of Ray Castellino) and ancestral healing with a beautiful Family Constellations group.
Oh and my answer to the witch question was ‘I work with light and the earth’. My response was surprising to me but I elaborated with a little more conviction, ‘I work with the energies of the earth and light’. I think this is what I mean…I integrate the energies of nature and spirit into my guided meditative and movement offerings and I sit alongside you in sharing circles not as a wiser, more knowledgeable authority but as someone who tries to befriend both the dark and the light and live from the heart and at this stage of life has realised they know very little for certain 😆
I like to think of my offerings as both mystical and practical in a welcoming, comfortable space nestled in nature.
So if you fancy a bit of that have a look at what’s coming up in September and October. I’m so looking forward to being with you,
With love and warmth,
Claire
