Unearth the Wild Within
A one year seasonal course for all women of all agesWhat is it for you to be a woman?
Following the Celtic Wheel of the Year, journey deep into yourself through Yoga, Somatic movement and ancient wisdom, honouring and aligning with the natural rhythms and cycles of the seasons, the moon and yourself and exploring your connection to nature and your true self and how this ripples through into your relationships with others.
Unearth the wise and wild spirit that resides in all of us, that innate knowing that requires no other guru but ourselves, the Earth and the natural cyclical wisdom we have around us.
“My calling to complete the [Unearth The Wild Within] course at came exactly the right time – little did I know what challenges lay ahead in 2019 and how invaluable the support and strength of our amazing group would be.”
Why join me on this journey?
The course emphasizes a feminine, non-linear somatic approach to movement, drawing from my dedicated somatic and intuitive movement practice, somatic psychology, and authentic movement training.
Within this course, we delve deep into eco-somatics, receptivity, and relationships – how we connect with the Earth, other beings, and our community. Ritual and ceremony are integral to our journey, making the course a transformative rite of passage. It often becomes a stable, supportive resource, a fulcrum, for people attending who may be going through tricky transformations or significant life transitions.
Cyclical and seasonal wisdom are vital components. We work with the current seasons of our lives and our unique cycles in each gathering. Foundational to the course is womb health and wellbeing, incorporating Womb Yoga, Well woman yoga therapy, Shamanic Womb Wisdom practices, somatic breathwork, Restorative Yoga, and meditation.
Seasonal and Cyclical wisdom have long been my passion, woven into every facet of my work and embodied existence.
Creating a safe, inclusive space for women to connect and find solace, nurturing a strong circle evolving over a year’s sun cycle, was my dream. In 2019, that dream materialized and it was immense a really beautiful experience.
Although Covid disrupted future plans, I’m now excited to take this course online, incorporating both in-person gatherings and enriching home playwork outside in the landscapes close to your home. The extra piece I’m excited about is a week-long retreat where we unite in person. (I’m still working through when during the course this will be but dates will be out as soon as possible).
Unearth the Wild Within offers ample time for sharing, moving, exploring, learning, creating, and profound introspection. Its initial birth was a process, and now I’m thrilled to present the revamped online version in 2024.
If this resonates with your register your interest now and you’ll be the first to know once dates and timings are finalised.

“We would all arrive at our circle, a little frazzled, broken, despondent – all in desperate need to share, express ourselves and gather our inner strength. Your wise, well researched insights helped to curate that space.”
Your year long adventure and exploration into body and earth…
The final details are still being worked through but we’ll meet for nine online sessions throughout the year around the Celtic Wheel of the Year Festival dates AND we’ll meet in person for a week long Retreat!
