Opening hearts & spreading love at Wild & Wild festival on Sunday… 🤎

It was SO much fun! I had such a heart full day. What an amazing day! Meeting so many wonderful people, thank you so much for coming to visit my little cacao calm corner 🙏🏼

My favourite part of days like these are the people that I meet, the conversations we share and moments of heart connection that happen over the cauldron of cacao! 🍫

Thanks for drinking ALL the cacao! The cauldron was kept topped up and was drunk dry! ✨

I only got a few moments to do a run around the other stalls saying hi! It was so lovely to see (thank you for the beautiful 💐), .within.by.dr.nathan , and so many more I didn’t get chance to say hi to!

Adored seeing gorgeous beings and catching up with .events

And making lovely new connections (thank you for the book 💫)

A massive well done to and the team for such an epic day! Thanks so much for having me and cacao!

Still on a high!!

If you didn’t get a chance to come and try some cacao and would like to order online - there’s link in my bio.

Each order comes with a starter guide so if you’re making cacao at home for the first time there’s a recipe, advice on how much to drink, tips for making with intention & a simple practice to follow.

Come say hi here on social if you were at the festival 👋 ❤️

With love,

👀Looking for something different to celebrate a special occasion or threshold crossing? 🌿

Jogged by a birthday forest-bathing booking for friends this week I wanted to let you know that I offer private gatherings and experiences!

Time with nature for you to be together - whether that’s celebrating, connecting, exploring or simply BE-ing.

Each private experience is different, created just for you and what you’d like. I can weave in forest-bathing practices, cacao connection circle, quiet meditation, cooking on the fire together, rituals and more!

Over the years I’ve held hen dos, cacao circles for friends, birthday celebrations and relationship exploration for couples.

Whether it’s for a few or a group of you, I adore holding special space for you to share.

If you’re looking for something a little different - an experience that connects you deeply, creates special memories, uncovers parts of you that you're friends haven’t seen (the softer, sensitive and silly sides), and is fun.

Then I’d love to pick up exploring with you for this Summer.

Pop me a DM or email [email protected]

With love,

Amanda

The call to the land 🌿

As spring moved toward summer the physical draw I felt to be with the land grew stronger 🧲

I just wanted to be out on the earth 👣

Spring was unusually cold here & it felt like summer would never come! I daydreamed of days & nights at The Dell. The beautiful nature haven where I hold gatherings & 1:1 space.

A land I’ve been connected with for 6+ years 🙏🏼

It has a peaceful energy, a sense of healing in the air - gentle yet strong, with a presence that feels ancient.

Then last week, a warm window arrived. I grabbed my stuff & headed out 🎒

When I arrived I noticed a bees nest 🐝 Awesome I thought - I’d been wondering how to deepen my connection with the bees & there they were. A message felt clear: you silly human, if you want to connect deeper just spend time with us. We are your teacher!

The Bees are woven into Egyptian & Celtic tradition - there is so much wisdom here.

After a mini panic, a call with a beekeeper, I settled into 4 magical days & 3 nights on the land with Skye my 2.5yr old Border Collie.

We slowed to nature’s pace, tended the plants, spent time with the trees. Skye settled more each day. The nights were alive - the wind 💨 , a frog circled 🐸 , a bird flew in 🦅!

And so was I - alive! This is what feels so right - being on & with the land, life simplified.

And the bees buzzed happily. We meditated together. 💚💚💚

Fingers crossed for a warm dry summer because this is where I’ll be & I’d love to welcome you in too.

Our gorgeous litter picking community morning is back! 🌿

We had such a glorious morning in the woods together for Earth Day that we all wanted to make this a regular gathering - a chance to come together, give back to nature and simply enjoy each other's company.

There is something so special about watching everyone wind their way through the trees, pausing to pick up litter, enjoying a little solo time and naturally falling into conversation as path's criss-cross.

Tina, the litter picking pixie, had us laughing and crying with her beautiful story last time - and I'm so happy that she'll be joining us again to inspire us before we arm ourselves with litter pickers and bin bags, courtesy of the rangers.

Helen, from will weave her beautiful healing sounds through the morning as we walk - a truly special and serene backdrop that made last time feel so magical.

We close by gathering together for a guided connection and gratitude meditation lead by me, Amanda from - sharing stillness and nature as a group.

Afterwards the morning continues at for hot drinks, yummy food and more conversation for those who'd like to linger a little longer.

Dates for the rest of 2026:
7th July, 10am
7th October, 10am

Free to join, booking required (link in bio)

Look forward to seeing you there.

Love Amanda, Helen and Tina

Bee Rights 🐝

A hive of around 50 bumblebees have taken over last year’s bird nest in the shelter where I hold cacao gatherings.

At first I was delighted they’d moved in but then I had a moment of panic as I’ve been dreaming of spending as much time here as I can & on a hot day last week the hive was so active I was concerned this wasn’t the most sensible idea!

So I hopped online to find out about bees & reach out to those in the know!

My explorations lead me to the Chairman of Stockport Beekeepers Association who I had the most fascinating conversation with.

After learning about what the bees were up to he reassured me I’d be absolutely fine sharing space with them as long as I give them their space.

So, that’s what I did & we shared a very enjoyable 4 nights co-habiting together!

Inspired by Maidstone Borough Council who in April this year became the first UK council to formally adopt a Rights of Nature framework.

I decided that it was ok for me to potter around the bees but not fair on the buzzy ones or the humans ones to hold gatherings in the space.

So until the bumble bees complete their natural cycle & the nest is no longer active there are no cacao gatherings at the shelter.

The bees come 1st

Bumble bees naturally seek out sheltered cavities such as old bird nests, hollow trees & other hidden spaces to tend to their young & ensure another generation thrive. As older trees & wild spaces disappear, suitable nesting places become harder to find.

Rights of Nature is the idea that nature has an intrinsic right to exist, thrive & evolve. These principles are increasingly being recognised in laws, policies & decision-making around the world, creating a voice for rivers, ecosystems & the wider living world alongside human interests.

I’ll let you know when gatherings are back at the shelter & in the meantime I’ll be holding meditation & cacao evenings within the circle of trees on dry, summer nights.

DM me “Summer” to be in the know.

Love to the bees & you,

Amanda

Personal share😍

I've been avoiding posting recently.

Not because I don't know what to say or don't want to share -

Because I've been enjoying BEING where I am & I've wanted to FEEL & be with the shifts I've been noticing within.

Work is no longer consuming me ✨

I thought that it was my priorities that had shifted that caused this change - but my business is super important to me - the shift is that it's no longer taking over through fear or pressure or expectation.

It's taken a while to get here & it's been so blooming lovely to just be with it.

The ties that bound me to the old ways have gone.

I don't feel the same shoulds anymore - to work hard, to push, to grow for egos sake of being 'bigger'.

My life is coming into balance in a more harmonious, peaceful, content feeling that is ever has.

If you knew the career version of me you'd know this is a biggie!

I sacrificed so much personally for my career, not that I knew it at the time. I just thought that's what we had to do - put our all into our work, that burning out was just a full week.

6+ years since I left my career & I finally I feel change take root 🎉

I've wanted this automatic behaviour to go so much, but it's taken time. Even 1 or 2 yrs ago I still felt this pressure. Change has been gradual, as it often is, but now it feels here to stay.

My system needed to know I'd be safe - that I can keep myself safe.

I got a parking ticket for spending more than 2 hours at the gym, in the middle of a 'work day'! I've not done that since I was 22 & in bikini prep mode for St Tropez! 😆

For 2 days this week it's been noon since I sat down to work - because my other needs are of equal priority & I trust I'll get everything done in right time (side note I'm way more focused & productive).

So, I've been enjoying being with the feels this brings -

Of trust over fear, that all will be ok, that everything is unfolding as it's meant to.

Doing so I'm living what I know in my heart is true.

Last week I lived on the land, 4 days sleeping out at the Dell because - my whole body has been calling me there. So much more to share about this soon.

With love,

Amanda

Oh la la! What a glorious evening in the sunshine with the moon coming into bright fullness above.

We gathered for this month’s evening meditation and deep rest last night at Tegg’s Nose Country Park, 10minutes outside Macclesfield.

What gorgeous weather we had!

Taking this time to step away from the busy world to pause and be guided through meditation practices.

It’s so wonderful to have regulars for this evenings, scheduling it out in their diaries so they have this space to reenergise and be.

Tuning gently into their inner landscapes whilst held by the beautiful view of the forest and rolling hills, witnessing its own changing landscapes.

Grateful that the regulars bring their family and friends to share in this special evening, and to see conversations naturally spark between those that share common interests as we share tea together at the end.

This sessions are suitable for beginners, and run monthly in partnership with

Next dates:

Forest-bathing at Alderley Edge National Trust yesterday 🐌 ✨

The most gentlest of walks yesterday, I was joined by two friends, a gift from one to another.

Two women who spin many plates ~ work, family, children, life… constantly in thinking, planning, giving and being productive. Always thinking about the step four ahead.

Normally my forest-bathing walks are fully booked weeks ahead which I’m very grateful for. When I see a small booking for 2 or 4 I know this space is meant for us only.

Yesterday was absolute confirmation that this space will be what it needs to be for those who are there.

We went so slowly, once they’d settled into the practice and noticed the difference forest-bathing was making to both what they were experiencing within the woods and how they felt within themselves they embraced this time for this with open arms.

Lying on a tree to be held and supported, hugging a tree to feel the energy travelling through the tree into their body. Being with a bumble bee hoovering over the earth, taking in the beauty of a magpie’s emerald tail.

Standing in stillness, lying in rest, pausing to be.

In doing so emotional were released, worries and wants shared with the woods, a deeper understanding of the chapter they were in.

Mind, body and soul revived 🙏🏼

So grateful for these mornings shared together, how special they are.

👉🏼 next forest-bathing walk Saturday 13th June 10am-1pm
With cacao tea amongst the trees, 10% of ticket goes to National Trust charity.

I wonder who will join me 💫

With love,
Amanda
