What a beautiful start to the month 🧡

This morning was our first Coffee With Purpose gathering for June and it has left me feeling inspired by the warmth, wisdom, honesty and support everyone brought to the table.

No two gatherings are the same and it’s all from the energy you bring each time sharing your stories, wins, loses, troubles and joys… I feel truly honoured and grateful to be a part of your story.

If you’d like to join us this week we still have tomorrow in Marlborough and Friday in Clanfield and there is space for you at our table.

Grab yourself a ticket this afternoon with the links in the bio 🧡

For May we are celebrating our friend Georgie of and 🌿

One of the most beautiful things about this community is being surrounded by women whose work is rooted in genuine care, and Georgie embodies that so naturally. We were so glad she found her way to our first Oxfordshire meeting. It felt like she was always meant to be here.

As an Occupational Therapist specialising in child and adolescent mental health and neurodiversity, Georgie supports nervous system wellbeing in deeply thoughtful ways, creating spaces that feel calm, compassionate, neuroaffirming, and restorative for children, young people, and families.

Her work is a beautiful reminder that when people feel truly safe and understood, they can show up more fully in the moments that matter most.

If you don’t already follow her, please do, her accounts are as beautiful as the work she does. I’ve had the privilege of attending her forest bathing sessions and can’t recommend them highly enough 🌿

Upcoming Seasons and Solace events:
→ Sat 13 June | Forest Bathing & Wild Swim
→ Fri 19 June | Monthly Forest Bathing
→ Sat 27 June | Forest Bathing Family Day
→ Fri 10 July | Wellbeing in Nature for Small Business Owners
→ Sat 11 July | Forest Bathing & Wild Swim
→ Fri 17 July | Monthly Forest Bathing

Georgie also offers free telephone consultations, individual therapy, and parenting coaching online, in person, or as walk-and-talk sessions 🧡

Have you felt that before? There’s something that happens when women gather with intention. You can feel it the moment you walk in the room.

The conversations flow, the ideas spark and you leave feeling more like yourself than when you arrived.

That’s The Shire Collective. A space where connections come before pitches. Where ambition is soft-spoken but supported.

If you’re still looking for your people, the doors to our next Coffee With Purpose gathering are open. The ticket links are ready and in the bio.

Tell me below how you feel when sitting at The Shire Collective table? 🧡

Celebrating our Shire Collective friend, Abby of Abigail Holgate Millinery.

One of the most beautiful things about the Shire Collective is the diversity of creativity within our community, and Abby brings something really special. I absolutely adore having her as part of our community.

Based near Marlborough in Wiltshire, Abby designs and creates stunning millinery pieces that are anything but ordinary. She offers ready-to-wear pieces, suitable for all seasons and occasions, alongside a bespoke service to design and create individual pieces just for you. All hats are available for hire and purchase.
Her work is playful, intriguing, colourful, and full of personality, each piece crafted to stand out, not blend in.

As Abby so beautifully says, “you don’t have to be fashionable in order to be stylish — being who we are is by far the most interesting thing a person can be.” Her hats are about finding that missing piece “that little bit of extra something that makes you feel gloriously confident and authentically you.”

And at the heart of it all is her passion. As Abby shares, “millinery is my total and utter passion. It provides challenges every day and I look forward to meeting my clients, learning all about them, and sending them on their way feeling like they can take on the world.”
What I love most is the experience she offers, not just beautiful pieces, but a welcoming space where you can explore, enjoy, and find that perfect finishing touch, free from pressure.

You can experience her work in person at the following POP UPs:

📍 The Golden Lion Gallery, Ramsbury (SN8 2PE) - Wednesday to Saturday, 11am–3pm, from 27th May through 6th June

📍 The Marlborough OPEN STUDIO’S in Froxfield every weekend in July.

She is a brilliant example of the creativity, individuality, and passion that lives within the Shire Collective - women building businesses that truly reflect who they are.

If you’re craving connection, inspiration, and a community that celebrates you as you are, why not come join us in May 🧡

Once again, another month is flying by and it’s been filled with joyous moments and memories 🧡

As always, it started with Coffee With Purpose gatherings - an event which holds so much for me and I have some very exciting news to share shortly.

There’s been signs of Spring in the air more often that not now and being surrounded by blossoming nature, blue skies and fresh air certainly makes a world of difference to our energy doesn’t it?

April has also seen the start of our next phase of coaching as part of with The Growth Programme starting this week. A three-month course with monthly check-ins for all attendees who are ready to take their businesses to the next stage in their journey.

How has April been for you? Share the highs, and the lows, and how you are feeling about the last few weeks. Each step is still a step taken whether big or small 🧡
