Circles & Workshops

This is a space that brings me a lot of joy! Here, we join together to deepen our community in and around Bristol, creating safe containers for sharing wisdom and clearing our path. Have a scroll – there are a few things coming up...

*On pause until 2026 - check back in the new year for updates*
A circle for those socialised as female and the stories our bodies carry.

Contribution: minimum £5 donation. For those unemployed or on low income, contact me to contribute another way.

Spreading mostly by word of mouth, we get together roughly every two months, with the next date agreed together so that as many people as possible can come along.

As well as unburdening our hearts, with curiosity we explore topics like collectivistic vs individualistic cultures, tangible actions to create a felt sense of community, and how to find joy in our shared reality. The October circle will include a deeply restful yoga nidra!

We usually start by landing together with delicious snacks, as well as a check-in and short meditation. Next, we connect by sharing in pairs, before moving into time for each person to share in full circle.

We aim to welcome diverse identities within those who were born in biologically female bodies. We check pronouns at the beginning of each circle, and welcome feedback for continuing a sensitively held space.

 

You are welcome to come as you are, and are encouraged (with no pressure here) to bring your gifts – be they song, movement, pair or group work.

Feel free to reach out to me to learn more while we're hibernating.

Om Shanti - Peace

I'm delighted to be co-hosting a Beltane celebration with fellow 500+ hour trained yoga facilitator and neuroscientist, Anna Raven.

Join us to celebrate the turn of the seasons towards warmth. Together we'll honour natural rhythms through ritual and explore practices that support stepping into the fullness of spring.

This is a space to awaken what is ready to be lived, and to tend the creative spark that carries you forward.

 

Come and kindle the bright fire with:

🔥 Grounded yet dynamic movement to awaken the body-mind
🔥 Breath practices to cultivate inner fire
🔥 A heart-centred yoga nidra to listen deeply to intention
🔥 A candle-lit poetry ritual to nourish what is coming into being
🔥 Shared snacks and warm drinks to close and ground the work

 

A gathering to meet the growing season with presence and care.

Open to all levels of experience. Please reach out with any questions or to discuss any access/dietary needs.

TESTIMONIAL

Love for previous offerings

From Jen, a workshop regular

"A beautiful, welcoming space was created by Helen and Hannah, where we explored summer herbs and firy movement. Helen is very knowledgeable and happy to share her experience and love of herbs. Hannah led a calm yet strong yoga session ending with a beautiful, powerful ritual. The song has rippled through my days since. Thank you so much. 🧡💛❤️"

From Frances at Into the Quiet

 I was looking for something just like this, where the community aspect was really well held and genuine. It felt truly nourishing and well paced, and I came away feeling rejuvenated.
