This might sound strange β€” but sometimes anxiety feels safer than calm.

Not because we want to suffer. But because the nervous system is wired for the familiar. It prioritises what it knows over what’s unknown β€” even when what it knows is painful.

If you grew up in an environment that felt unpredictable, or where stillness meant something was about to go wrong β€” calm can actually feel threatening. Your system learned to stay alert. To stay ready. And over time, that alertness became home.

So when you finally find a moment of quiet β€” in a meditation, a breathwork session, or just an unexpectedly peaceful afternoon β€” and something in you tenses up or pulls away? That’s not you doing healing wrong. That’s your nervous system meeting the unfamiliar.

The work isn’t to force yourself into calm. It’s to make calm feel safe enough to stay in. Slowly. Gently. Again and again β€” until the body starts to trust that peace isn’t a trap.

That takes time. It takes patience. And it takes someone witnessing you through it.

But it’s possible. The nervous system can learn new things. πŸ¦‹

Here's something I've learned this week that made a lot of sense to me.

For a while I've been saying to myself β€” "I am loved. I am safe. I am held." And I meant them. I wanted them to be true. But for the longest time, they were just words. Something my mind knew but my body hadn't caught up with yet.

Until I finally began to feel them.

And here's why that matters β€” because it turns out, affirmations don't work when your nervous system is in survival mode. Not because you're doing them wrong. But because the part of the brain responsible for receiving love, safety, and calm goes offline when we're stuck in fight-or-flight.

No amount of "I am safe" can reach a body that doesn't yet believe it.

The nervous system doesn't respond to words. It responds to experience β€” to slowly, repeatedly feeling safe enough to let something new in.
That's what breathwork does. It doesn't just tell the body it's safe. It helps the body remember.

And that changes everything. 🌿

RΜ·elease.
OΜ·pen.
AΜ·waken.
RΜ·emember.

This year’s Wild Woman Gathering is an invitation to free our voices, our breath, and our bodies.

To release what has been silenced.
To open to what is true.
To awaken the wild within.
To remember who we are beneath the expectations, roles, and stories we have carried.

For four days we will gather on rewilded land in the Scottish Borders, immersed in nature, sisterhood, movement, voice, ceremony, breathwork, sauna, wild swimming, and fire.

A space to be seen.
A space to be heard.
A space to be fully yourself.

25–28 June 2026

Notice what happens in your body when you read that.

For a lot of us, there’s relief β€” and maybe a little grief for all the times we pushed harder when what we needed was to slow down. The nervous system heals through repetition of safety, not through force.

Breathwork works not because it’s dramatic, but because it’s consistent. Small, regular doses of regulation build capacity over time. You don’t have to earn your healing by suffering through it.

We are SUPER EXCITED to announce that our Cacao & Dance Summer Celebration event will take place within the beautiful walled garden at outside Innerleithen!!!

There is something really special about being barefoot on the earth, feeling the breeze and the expansive feeling of being outdoors. This is our 3rd year at Traquair, and the previous years were truly magical β€” I am sure this one will be the most beautiful gathering yet. 🌿

Here’s what the evening holds:
🍫 Ceremonial cacao β€” a heart-opening ancient plant medicine to bring us into presence and connection.

πŸ’ƒ Ecstatic dance β€” wild, free, joyful movement to music that lights you up from the inside.

🎢 Sound bath to close β€” crystal bowls, birdsong, and the rustle of leaves to bring you gently home to yourself and nature.

We’ll be barefoot on the earth, moving freely, shedding the weight of the week, and celebrating summer together in one of Scotland’s most beautiful and historic settings.

This is your invitation to show up, let go, and dance your heart out. 🌸

πŸ—“ Friday 12 June Β· 6–9pm
πŸ“ Walled Garden, Traquair House, Innerleithen
πŸ‘— Dress-up ideas: Nature & the Elements, your brightest colourful self, sparkles β€” let your imagination fly!
