Septembers Newsletter
We started the month with a wild and moody walk at Keyhaven, and it bought to close the evening pub walks for this year, although, if you fancy an evening walk with a difference, I will be holding the moonlit walk on the October full moon.
We also walked at Pigbush and listened for the rutting red deer at Queens Bower.
During October, we will take a walk through the nature reserve of Royden Wood, and enjoy the autumnal colours of the ancient woodlands to meet one of (what I believe to be) the oldest and impressive oak trees of the forest, along with the ever popular moonlit walk.
Octobers Illuminating the Human Potential workshop is learning more about self regulation. This workshop is about restoring balance and well-being by supporting our body, spirit, mind and soul just by tuning in and listening to our bodies alert system and following subtle signs.
I am holding this workshop at Ibsley, New Forest and Penton Mewsey, Andover.
If you would like a halloween/samhain aimed at adults, come along to one of our popular events, but hurry tickets are selling out!
Join Linda from Slowhayes Alpacas and me for an evening of warmth, community, and seasonal celebration as we welcome the turning of the wheel together.
Come and enjoy a magical evening around the fire beneath the stars as we celebrate the ancient origins of Samhain and Halloween.
Together, we'll share delicious vegetarian food and honour our ancestors as the veil between worlds is said to be at its thinnest, marking the turning of the Wheel of the Year towards the darker months.
As the seasons shift, we'll explore how to embrace the quieter rhythms of autumn and winter through reflection, intention setting, and meaningful connection. Gather around the fire to eat, drink, laugh, and share stories, just as our ancestors did for generations before us.
Enjoy a lantern-lit walk through the meadows among the alpacas before settling into a guided meditation to deepen your connection with the earth, the sky, and the natural world.
If you wanted to make a real evening of it, Linda's beautiful shepherds hut is available to let that evening. Finish your evening off under the stars and wake amongst the farm animals and nature. For more details, contact me or Linda directly.
At last, some positive news for the New Forest: the Equine flu has passed through, allowing the drifts to take place from October. Please follow the signs and maintain a safe distance for your own safety and that of the riders. Pannage season has begun, though you might need to search more diligently for the pigs this year. It seems fewer commoners will release their pigs due to the scarcity of acorns, but fortunately, the beech trees are compensating! By the start of the month, the last of the migratory birds will be departing, and we're currently in the height of rutting season. Again, keep your distance if you hear the deer roaring, both for your safety and to avoid disturbing them. Hearing the deer from afar can be just as enchanting as seeing them. Follow the signs, stay on the paths, and enjoy the changing season.
Energetically, I have noticed in my clients and myself, and time of reflection. A time to understand where we are on this journey of life and what we want to call in and what we want to let go of. It's very significant as we reach the autumn equinox. A point of balance, polarities, and shifts in our own personal season, and a time of letting go under the weekends harvest full moon.
FYI...
Recently, some of my regular clients have inquired about whether I would teach Reiki. I'm happy to announce that next year, I will be offering courses. With 25 years of experience in Reiki as a master/teacher, along with studying other modalities and learning to achieve lasting results by trusting my intuition and understanding the body's language, each Reiki level will provide traditional teachings and much more. This will help you discover your authentic approach to working and utilise your strengths for impactful outcomes.
If you are looking for an authentic teaching, with an intuitive twist and ongoing support, you may want to consider learning Usui Reiki with me.
I am in the process of having a new website created, so dates cannot be found on my site yet. I have already fully booked the course next year, but if you have an interest in coming to learn with me, reach out, and with enough interest, I will run another.
Thank you for reading, and your ongoing support.
