Hey gorgeous souls!
March is here and I can feel Spring is approaching, it's lovely to notice more blue skies, crisp cold air and brighter sunsets. Ive been in nature more and have lots of lovely plans for my weekends that are free this year. Im so happy to have booked a holiday and have nice things to do over the next months, so much to enjoy!
This weeks classes are themed around Spring, where our energy begins to feel as those its ready to emerge from the deep cave of hibernation we may have found ourselves in. Our motivation starts to reappear, our energy levels might feel a little more stable and you are ready to start manifesting and making new plans for the future.
The Solar plexus & the Root Chakra are playing a big part in this energy of Spring. Within TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) we also celebrate the element of wood where we rebirth, growth & expansion. The organs related to Spring are the Liver & Gallbladder, so some techniques you may recognise when I brought it into classes just before Christmas based on another perspective, Anger! Its going to. belovely to share this practices with you and I hope you enjoy what's to come.
Please find below a brief outline of news this month:
- You can now enjoy two back to back Forest Sound Bath sessions in the forest. These have been sold out to full capacity for month's so opening up a second session opens up more space for you all to enjoy a practice at a different time that might suit your day better.
- Relaxation Yoga & Sound bath sessions will run monthly on a Sunday evening 4.00-5.30pm, this will remain at this time throughout the whole year.
-Myself & Rebeccas 'Nurture & Nourish' session has had a name change, this is to respect another local teachers event with the same name. Our session is now called 'Comfort & Calm', the session is has exactly the same content as before, they are incredibly special.
-The workshop capacity will be limited to less than before, with more workshops running I want to offer more for everyone, and at a comfortable number for more personal touches.
-Every session is suitable for everyone, if you're ever curious to come along to a class or workshop you will be held and supported the whole way! I promise once you come to one session, you'll be hooked!
-Please read my terms and conditions before booking, I no longer offer refunds but am happy to transfer your booking (72 hour notice) to another workshop free of charge. Cancelling your place after a workshop has be held is not valid. I hold a no photo policy, this is why you never see the magic of my sessions online! I'm there in my full presence and firmly honour that what I offer isn't about me, but its about you, in your energy and vulnerability. You, however can take photos before and after the session!
UPCOMING EVENTS

NAME CHANGE!!!
"NURTURE & NOURISH" has been renamed - "COMFORT & CALM"
I have renamed this session as I want to respect another teacher I know who offers a session with the same name. Its difficult with so many teachers within the surrounding areas (I know many of them very well!) all sharing their own personal sessions with similar themes in mind. I make a very personal effort to not step on other teachers toes, I respect their personal teaching 'territory' and wont copy & paste their hard work they share from the heart. So when I came across Nurture & nourish from a lovely local teacher I only felt it right to amend the name to support and respect her offerings too!
The name change does not change the session in anyway, you're still going to be guided and cared for in the most loving way possible!
COMFORT & CALM
1.30-3.00PM
Monthly Sundays in The Forest (indoors)
I'm so excited to share these collaboration sessions with you all this year, myself and Rebecca have co-hosted lots of workshops together before and have manifested our very unique teachings together to create an in depth immersion to relaxation & self inquiry. Rebecca, trained priestess works with astrology & many other magical tools that can help us gain more spiritual awareness when we have more of an understanding of the cosmos. Each month in these workshops she will share a small talk about whats happening astrologically at that time of year, it's fascinating and can offer reassurance when things are a little hectic in your life. Along side her wisdom you can enjoy being wrapped tightly in blankets, head massage, guided relaxation and sound healing instruments placed on and around the body. Let's get comfortable & calm.
These are more personal sessions so the capacity is low.
SELF CARE SUNDAY SESSIONS
Self Care Sunday sessions are the most beautiful get togethers that help us to rebalance, reset and refresh our bodies and minds for the week ahead. These self care sessions are a staple within Victoria's offerings and even though they're only 2 hours long you will be filled up to the brim with many practices, techniques and tools to nourish your heart & soul!

FOREST SOUND HEALING SESSIONS
These sound bath sessions in the forest are the most beautiful workshops where you can pause, rest and drift off into the deepest state of relaxation.

No experience is needed, just a need for rest. This is a perfect practice for everyone, busy minds, all facets of stress in modern lives. This is the perfect place to reset. I want to fill this space, with gorgeous souls, where we can enjoy the reminder of being human. That we can all be held, without interaction or expression, that we can all softly fall into stillness and ease, comfortably without expectation.

FAMILY YOGA SESSION!
This month myself and my gorgeous boy Gus are sharing another family yoga and sound bath session on:
Saturday 16th March!
10.00-11.00am in the Forest space for family time that's mindful, playful and
connected. Ages 3+ welcome!
We will be running these outdoors throughout the school holidays too, I'm just arranging and confirming dates!
Online yoga returns to the timetable and I'm so happy with this decision! After a few months of sharing in person on Monday evenings I've had a fair amounts of blips running the class and made the decision to end the term on the 25th March. Having gone online two weeks ago due to the cold weather the connection with everyone online, the feedback I've received and reach to my yogis who live far away its been a huge success. So Ive deceived to stay online for the foreseeable!! You do NOT need experience to join me online, enjoy practicing in the comfort of your own home, grab your cushions, practice in your Pjs and even share the class with your family or loved ones.

Sweet Potato & Spinach Curry
Im in love with making curries this month, Ive been absolutely inspired by the beautiful lunches I ate at my Vipassana course last May and havent stopped making them since! This is simple, wholesome, packed full of goodness and great for all the family. Its low spice (I had Gus in mind) but you can add a chopped chilli if you fancied it a little warmer!
Here are a few playlists that are wonderful to listen to anytime of day, you have a little two playlists that can help you shake out tension, have a little dance or just enjoy something different to listen too!
