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...

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.

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

​Celebrate the turn of the seasons towards the light. Together, we prepare the ground, honouring ancestral rituals and emerging into spring from a place of deep earth intuition.


Come and tend to the year ahead with:

🌿Gentle restorative movement to emerge back into the light

🌿Soothing self-massage and regulating breathwork to calm the nervous system

🌿Attunement to your heart's desires through yoga nidra, a meditative practice intended to induce deep relaxation and inner awareness

🌿A candlelight poetry ritual to inspire your year

🌿Nourishing food to close

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.
