I’m not going to lie, I do love Christmas but our nervous systems can take a bit of a battering at this time of the year, which is why I’ve teamed up with a local Reflexologist to offer an afternoon of Wellness Reflexology. 

This is a hands on learning experience where you will hear about how this ancient healing system works and how you can use it for yourself and with your family to improve your wellness, reduce stress, relieve pain, improve sleep along with a multitude of other wonderful benefits this complementary therapy offers. 

The session will be led by Victoria Mitchell, an experienced clinical reflexologist and Chi Medics practitioner. There will be time to ask specific questions and of course to try this therapy for yourself. 

We are offering this as part of our Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands initiative on 
Sunday 23rd November 3.30pm - 5pm
at Bradnop Village Hall. 
All are welcome, adults and children alike. 
The full details are shown below including how to book your place. 
We would love to see you there if you can make it.

We invite you to join us for a whole weekend of Yoga to unwind, meditation to de-stress, good food to nourish and soul to soul connection to inspire and transform.

Welcome to our Return to Nature Yoga Retreat!

Our venue is set amongst 18 acres of gardens, meadows and woodlands with views of Eryri mountains and Llyn Nantlle. The space consists of comfortable twin rooms with shared bathrooms, our private Yoga studio and communal places to relax. All food is freshly prepared on site each day and is made with locally sourced and home grown biodynamic produce. The kitchen team take pride in offering seasonal, nutritious food made with love, care and imagination.

Today sees the start of our next 6 week evening Yoga theme which is inspired by the Moon! One of my all time favourite Yoga practices that I love to do at this time of the year now the Moon is our main source of light as it leads us further and further into those darker days. I know this can be a dread and feel like a difficult time for a lot of us, but the dark can be a wonderful, nurturing place if we can just embrace it. 

Come and join us for our gathering of Following the Flow - Yoga to connect with the seasons on 19th December 2025, 7pm - 9pm, at Ipstones Memorial Hall Staffordshire.

With all this letting go and completion, I can now focus my energy on the projects that feel good and right - one of them being Following the Flow - our next evening is coming up on Friday 31st October where we explore the energies of Samhain and our ancestors. You can find the details for this below.
And another project that is feeling good and right is Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands. This initiative has been born from a really good place of wanting to ‘be the change we wish to see’. Please do come along and support our events. 

We have our next session this coming Friday 17th October and I would love to see you there. All are welcome - adults and children alike.

Friday 17th October 6pm – 7.30pm at Bolton Gate Farm, Weston Coyney. Staffordshire

Come and join us for an evening walk with conservationist Amy Dutton, who shares her love of creature spotting and ID, and exploring the dark.

All are welcome to this session as we build your trust and love of the dark, showing our children this is not a place to fear, but rather a place of so much life and potential.

We will be looking for bats before they start their hibernation and getting up close with moths as we see how a moth trap works.

Why are moths attracted to the light? Why don’t they just come out in the day if they like the light so much?

What owl sound is that?

What do bats like to eat?

How can I attract more wildlife into my garden?

What can I do to help support and sustain life after dark?

Lots of questions we will hopefully find the answers to in this Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands session!

Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands is an initiative that aims to provide the local community with knowledge on a vast range of Earth based subjects which will widen understanding and perception of the land on which we live and inspire future guardians of our wonderful planet.

Our curriculum covers lessons from soil quality and allotment planting to navigation and star constellations. There is a blend of community learning, spirituality, Earth care and Self-care. Our events are open to families with children aged from 5+ and adults alike. We are a nomadic group, travelling around the Staffordshire Moorlands, meeting on a monthly basis. Come and learn new skills through human to human connection and sharing knowledge as a community so we can all grow together.

Exchange: £15 for an adult. £20 for a family of 3 or less. £25 for a family of 4 to 5

Some of you may remember that last September we came together to take part in the Deepak Chopra’s 21 days to abundance. During September we are really supported by Nature to ‘count our blessings’ and plug into abundance and gratitude rather than scarcity and miserly ways. Nature is providing so much nourishment for us at this time of the year - September is harvest season - fruit, berries and nuts are ripe for picking and hopefully the veggie patch has provided a glut of goodness for you to enjoy long into the Autumn. Traditionally this is the time to show our thanks and what better way than to come together as a community and share all the goodness we have in life! And another bonus is that it’s completely free to join! 

Finding Your True North Yoga Retreat.

Arrival from 4pm on Friday 16th January 2026. Depart 11am on Sunday 18th January 2026.

You are invited to join us for a weekend of solace, realignment and relaxation in the peaceful Derbyshire Dales.

Held in a beautiful, remote landscape with the sound of the nearby river, there will be daily Yoga practices, guided meditations and bedtime Yoga Nidra’s to prepare you for sleep. There will be opportunities to craft and time to meander through the local countryside and cosy up in our luxury accommodation.

I hope you’re all enjoying the late Summer vibes. Our dogs have been enjoying rolling around in the golden fields, we’ve been enjoying the juicy blackberries and finding what I think are the biggest acorns we’ve ever seen!

I keep getting sniffs of Autumn on the air and with it September and the start back to school is now not that far away. 

With the new academic year nearly here, plans for Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands are being released. I’m excited to share that the doors are opening even wider from this September to welcome the WHOLE community! This offering is no longer just for families - everyone is welcome to come and learn with us!
One of the main points from the feedback received was that people with no children had an interest in the sessions but couldn’t come along as children had grown up and left home or they were living a child free life so I now invite the Wisdom Keeper to select their audience so there will be sessions just for adults, just for families and for everyone. I’m hoping it helps to make the initiative more inclusive and allows the learning on offer to spread its roots even further.

Sunday 21st September 2025 at Brown Edge Community Allotment.

All are welcome from children aged 5+ to adults, to join us for this session with Jodie Walker, an avid gardener with over a decade of experience in setting up and maintaining community allotment spaces, based on no dig and organic principals. Bring your spades for this session as we get out in the fresh air and hands on at the community allotment! Jodie will be sharing her experience from over the years on how to ‘live off the land’ in a harmonious way, inspiring us to become more self-sufficient and giving us lots of tips on what we can grow in our own space, no matter what the size.

Exchange: £15 for an adult. £20 for a family of 3 or less. £25 for a family of 4 to 5

The next 6 week evening Yoga theme is some what different! I asked the Thursday class if they wanted to focus on anything particular and pelvic floor came up - something I’ve worked with a lot through my own personal journey of becoming a Mother and also something I’ve shared with countless women through pregnancy and postnatal Yoga. 

We often think about women when we talk about the pelvic floor but in fact pelvic floor exercises are just as important for men and ALL women regardless of if you have had children or not. 
The health and strength of the pelvic floor sits beside the health and strength of the back and abdominal muscles. You can’t have one without the other and vice versa. 

What a Summer we are having. Glorious weather, warm, balmy days and still, quiet evenings. It feels like we’ve been in the season of Summer for so long already and we’ve only just arrived at July! 

I really have to keep reminding myself to soak in this time of year and keep finding pockets of time to notice the beauty.  Lifting my head up out of the busyness to stop and take it all in. And when I’ve heeded to this, I’ve felt so much better. There’s been a deep ‘ahhh’, a dropping down, a soothing of my Soul. And then I think, why haven’t I done this sooner?! Why, haven’t I taken some time out to sit and rest and soak it all in.

Saturday 5^th July 2pm – 4pm at Pickwood Woods, Leek. Staffordshire.

Our Wisdom Keeper for this event is social forester and bushcraft instructor Nick Hulley of in2thewildwood. Nick has over 20 years’ experience of delivering all aspects of environmental education and primitive skills and applying mindfulness to the woodland setting. Mindfulness informs him how to move in the woods, how to use all his senses to feel the forest and how to apply his skills with thoughtful consideration of the natural world and our impact on it. Come along and learn from Nick’s rich skill set to become more in tune with Nature and confident in the wilderness with your family.

Families with children aged 5 to 16 are welcome.

I qualified in Pregnancy Yoga after my second son was born and offered local classes for many years. I still see some of the Mums around now with their not so little babies! Some now being 7 and 8 years old.
I paused the classes during covid then went on to offer one to one classes only. Visiting Women at their homes and offering Pregnancy Yoga there. 

Anyway, it seems the time has come to restart the class, welcoming Pregnant Goddesses and supporting them with the practice of Yoga! The classes will be offered as a 5 week course and we start on Sunday 22nd June at 6.30pm at Dilhorne Recreation Centre. 

One of the things I love about our Yoga classes is the people I meet. I see some of you more than family members as you come along to class week in week out! So many friendships have been made and lots of things in common discovered. We are not a ‘clicky’ bunch by any means so if Yoga is one of the things you’ve been wanting to try or return back to, please feel free to come along. I’m pretty sure you’ll love it and know for sure you’ll feel a greater sense of wellness and love for life than before.
