You Don’t Know Me

KnowMe, poetry

A friendly face

A welcome smile 

‘Gentle’, ‘nice’ how it riled

What they see as kindness;

Interpretation ’soft’

No clue of the strength her pain made her steel

Not weakness, resilience she learnt

Wisdom; seeds grown in her own pit of darkness

The Unnurtured, nurturing, 

Rising above, starting from nothing

With real eyes see what she’s become

Beyond the surface a courageous soul

Standing up, again and again when life took its toll

The care and healing she bestows

A gift of her own alchemy flows

What you see isn’t what you get

The fire in her burns stronger and yet

Sometimes all she wants is to be held, be free, safe, 

To be heard without judgement

At her own pace

Other times her body enflamed 

A burning desire to run and seek life

Explore, claim, before it’s too late 

There’s more to this woman than meets the eye

A feisty minx, fun, powerful, untamed

Cross her and you’ll be sure to know

Sit with her and she’ll help you grow

Her chest beating wildly

The passion, the drive 

Trying to live as though it’s her last joy ride

Making mistakes, learning fast

You think you know her, its just the start

She’s all of these things, more still

to reveal

An enchantress, a warrior, a lioness heart

✨

As always words are my own. 

Much love beautiful souls 🙏✨💚✨

The Mother Wound

“The mother wound is deep.” What does this mean to you?

During a meditation in February 2020 this phrase came to me over and over again. This is a wound that needs healing for so many of us.

The more I think about this phrase the more I think about the many ways it’s true.

It could be our own experience of motherhood. It could be the decision we make not to mother. It could be the relationship with our mother or even our parents relationship with their mothers.

There are so many aspects of the mother wound that have implications on us and our daily lives yet to think about them and how deep and complex they may be takes time and patience and compassion to ourselves and others.

The first solution is to learn to mother ourselves and honour who we are as women. How we mother ourselves, our animals, children, how we create with art, words, with food for example, by celebrating what we create and ourselves we begin to honour the Mother archetype.

The second thing we can do is be grateful for the planet we have. The wound to Mother Earth is deep, we need to recognise this and we need to connect back to the ancient mother.  We have strayed so far from simplicity and the beauty and natural resources she has for us.

Acknowledge where the mother wound is right now in your life and start to do what is need to heal the wounds.

What is a Women’s Circle

Women's Circle Essex

I have been holding space on and off for women for over seven years. I believe every woman can benefit from the connection and sisterhood that comes with them.

Women’s Circles were for a long time a huge tradition, they still are in some form across different cultures.

There is a lot to RE-learn about the traditions of women’s circles and why they’re important to our communities and to women’s overall wellbeing and there is also a lot behind why they phased out, which is why the healing is important as we find our way back to ourselves and each other without fear.

Women need to RE-member the importance of Sisterhood and the gathering of women holds so much potential to heal, women as a collective, our community, our world. 

A Women’s Circle or Red Tent is time for you, to reconnect to yourself and your sisters. To reconnect to our divine feminine power. 

A women’s circle brings us back to our roots. connecting us to ancient traditions and vital knowledge we’ve lost, our true nature. Together we find our way back to ourselves through rituals and sharing of our energy.

Holding space for women is an honour.  Each circle will have a slightly different theme although the format remains fundamentally the same.  When I hold space the room will be, cleansed and protected and filled with energy that is pure love and of the highest intended frequency. All aspects of the circle are optional, you can just come and soak in our collective energy.  Come whether you feel you need or it or whether you wish to support other women, your energy is always welcome no matter where you’re at. 

You can bring crystals, photos of loved ones to place on the altar or anything else you wish to be infused with the energy in the room we create. 

If you know someone that would benefit from our circle please invite them they will be made to feel very welcome. I know it can be a bit nerve wracking coming to something not knowing what to expect and we’ve all been there. It’s worth it.
