A Spring Ramadan
I love the changing seasons of the month of Ramadan. As the years go by we are blessed to experience this sacred month in all the seasons here in the UK. Last year Ramadan was in winter. Just like a cave of stillness, I felt it was the perfect season for this month of deep […]

The Alchemical Ramadan
We have just gone through the religious month of fasting of 2024. Most people feel sad at the end of this miraculous month, and I do understand why , but for me the true magic of Ramadan is precisely because it is so short. This month of Divine Mercy is true inner alchemy and such […]

The Path of the Homemaker
When we think of the image of a spiritual life, we often imagine a monk, cloistered in a monastery, giving up wordly things, not worrying where the next meal is coming from and being extremely devoted and disciplined. Many of us often dream of a time when we can acheive this level of detachment from […]

Winter: Season of the Cave

Perimenopause: Our Golden Opportunity

This disconnection from ourselves and from our spirituality is the cause of much dis-ease. The medicalisation of menopause has been around for decades but there has been an exponential increase in the numbers of […]
Take a TourMovement lessons from Nature
Its information overload when it comes to advice about movement and exercise. We can log on to websites, insta, tik tok or listen intently to our group fitness instructors or PTs at the gym. We even try bizarre trends promoted by the celebrities. Everywhere we look there is another “newest evidence” in health and fitness. […]

The Nature Prescription
We are not really dying from diseases from the body any more but rather diseases of the spirit. This lifetime we have come to learn so much about the human body. We have learned to interfere and manipulate the tiniest biochemical processes with drugs and various poisons. But none of that will truly heal us. […]
