Samhain
We locked down on the witching night....
Samhain.
the night when
the veil between worlds is the thinnest,
when witches ride
hard across the night,
when the dead surge to rescue the living
from their mire,
when the full moon
calls us to wilderness,
wakes our wolvish sensing to the
fleshy,
rotten,
scat,
of fabrication,
and manipulation.
You may think this locking down
is of your making,
but we who know,
are hibernating.
Waiting.
I curl my tail around me,
warmed
by others
at my back,
breathing in
moist
dark
earth
as we gather energy
and lie beneath the wasteland.
knowing where the chalice lies
and that we will rise to claim it
in the spring.

I have over 30 years of experience and qualification in various therapeutic and meditation/mindfulness based approaches. I work with change. Some changes we chose, others happen to us. Sometimes we know we want to change but don't know how. Sometimes we don't want to change but external events or people are forcing us to change. The menopause, children leaving home, the end of a relationship or job, becoming a parent, coming out, bereavement are just some of the personal changes I support people with. I also work with people who want to make changes to their life and wider world in response to social issues such as Covid, the climate crisis and racial, sexual and gender inequalities. Times are changing whether we want them to or not and we need to be nimble, agile, curious and open in order to part of the new story emerging. Work with me to get clear on what matters to you, what makes your heart sing and what kind of future you want for yourself and those you love. It is possible to live differently, get in touch to explore how.
