Its hard to believe mid august is already here but I can feel the wheel turning and the whispers of Autumn in my ear. Full of chlorophyll and insect nibbles, I see the leaves tiredly preparing for their grand descent. Berries and hazelnuts abound, and newborn bumble queens already searching for the perfect little hole to hold them through their long winter hibernation .

A glorious summer it has been, but for me a deep sigh of relief comes always at this time of year. My summer energy has begun to wane and a longing to cozy up and light the fire kindles in my bones.  For those of you who find this transition a struggle, I hope you’re soaking up as much summeryness as possible and feel fully satiated by the time the spinning wheel tips us into what us Canadians call Fall. The swallows and squirrels prepare for next season reminding me that change is afoot and a few seeds of my own are beginning to fruit this Autumn.

In these changing times it has become clear that to make space for new dream seeds to sprout, the time is also ripe to let go. After much reflection, I have decided to bring our Earthen Echoes Yin Yoga & Sound Journeys to a close in December. It’s a difficult decision but I feel ready to direct my energy into new creations. I sit here in humble appreciation for all of you that have been a part of the Earthen Echoes community. Our final event in December will mark two years at the Hex and will be our twentieth Journey. I’ve had the great pleasure of working with eight very talented musicians who’ve infused their own flavour of sound into the space. It has been an absolute joy to co-create these evenings with Lua Maria, Matthew Birch, Faze Al, Elise Yuill Cohen, Susie Ro, Helen Knight, Suzy Crockford and James Frost. Thank you to all who’ve joined us, for your presence and receptive hearts, for co-creating ceremonial space to come home to – I am forever grateful. It is my prayer that the echoes of these journeys continue to nourish you and your circles of care.

Our final Earthen Echoes dates are 11th September, 23rd October and 11th December (so remember to make note in your diary!) and I warmly invite you to join Elise Yuill Cohen and I on the 11th September for a deeply nourishing evening of Yin Yoga & Mantra Sound Healing.

It may be that after a break the inspiration flows to offer a pop-up Earthen Echoes event every once in a while but for now it feels time to bring this beautiful chapter to a close.  If you would like to continue working together, I also offer small group and one to one sessions, feel free to contact me if you’re interested.

Thankfully falling fruits have seeds inside them and I’m delighted to share that I’ll be continuing my studies with The School of Experiential Learning for the second year of the Experiential Anatomy Training and am honoured to be invited to assist on the first module – Cells to Skin – of Year One. I’m excited to announce that I’ve been invited to co-facilitate a Retreat at Sharpham House with Patti Summerville this November.

Here are a few snaps of summer in The Meadow – from path making to daisy picking, straw hackle weaving and lots of tea with the bees. We’re very grateful for our friends, Ross Perrett and Bex Clelland for helping us weave the new straw hats for our log hives in preparation for winter. We’re now waiting for all the wildflowers to set seed before we scythe this Autumn. We’re absolutely thrileld that the yellow rattle seeds we sowed a year ago have taken. Its going to be interesting to see how this semi-parasitic plant will encourage more wildflowers and weaken the tough grasses. The bees seem very happy in their home and have been busy preparing their honey stores for the winter.

Dear Ones,

As the smell of elderflowers fill the air and beautiful long days warm our sun kissed cheeks, I’d love to share Earthen Alchemy’s upcoming summer offerings and a buzzzzing Meadow announcement! I’ve also included an update on our privacy policy in alignment with GDPR.

This will be the final Museletter until the Autumn as I like to give my computer a wee break in the Summer months. All regular classes come to an end for July & August, however if you are interested in working together one to one or in a small group please do get in touch.

I warmly invite you to join Faze Al and I on the 19th of June for a Summer Solstice Celebration – Yin Yoga & Gong Bath – our final Earthen Echoes event until September, more details below.

Many Summery blessings to each of you.

With love and deep gratitude,

A series of monthly Yin Yoga & Live Music Events, Earthen Echoes is a unique practice inspired by the wisdom of the seasons – inviting you to dive into the depth of sensation through embodied awareness.

Honeybees have arrived in The Meadow! We’re over the moon as we welcome these beautiful golden creatures home! Last week they swarmed into the temple hive we built last year. With lemonbalm, prayers and welcoming hearts we lured them into The Meadow. What a blessing to have this home humming with golden beelight! We built our log hives in the traditional Tree Beekeeping method with Jonathan Powell of the Natural Beekeeping Trust last May. It is an absolute miracle when a swarm comes of their own free will to a home made by loving hands. Especially when you know that the making of that home has been considered fully with their well being and best interest at heart. Thank you Jonathan for sharing these ancient Beekeeping ways with us. Thank you bees, we’re so grateful to have you here in our beautiful little meadow, we love you so much!!!

Dear Lovely Ones,

Spring is springing and Earthen Alchemy’s offerings are in full bloom. Feeling inspired to share EA’s first Muse-letter – a collection of upcoming events, a glimpse into The Meadow and a little poetry of course…

Warmly inviting you to join incredible singer songwriter James Frost and I on the 8th of May for our next Earthen Echoes event – Yin Yoga & Beltane Love Songs.

Love,
