This feels by far like my greatest rite of passage yet. The journey to motherhood! Pregnancy! An exhilarating, intensely vulnerable roller-coaster gestation period where I have found strength and incredible support from my soul sisters around me. The world will never be the same and sometimes I am just overwhelmed by this blessing of life. I must be ready! But some days I am kicking and screaming as I wrestle with my inner pixie who just doesn’t want to grow up and claim her full power and responsibility as a woman. 38 years of only taking care of myself, and a few furry friends along the way have created and affirmed a selfishness of my life and all my own childhood nuances and fears leaping out of the cupboard to taunt me and tell me of the shadows of childhood/motherhood. Supportive, warm beings whispering in my ears of what a wonderful mother I will be only slightly lessens the fear of the harm that could come from projecting my crap onto this divine little being. I feeling the heightened sensitivity to all noises, smells, our patriarchal focused world … and again I dive into the deep dark reflective well that I know so dear, craving for a matriarchal, flourishing community of life around me. How can I bring this little being authentically into a world that I know is madness? There is nothing like this before that has shown me that now is the time to carve out the dreams that have been lingering in my heart, now is the time to plant the seeds to really create a future living integrally and in tune with nature and the ancient wise ways! Such a blessing to receive this gift!! I already feel the mama energy in me and wow … its quite incredible!
Are you one of the 50% of us who suffer from undiagnosed food intolerances?
Do you feel tired all the time, no matter how much sleep you get? Do you find it hard to shift the pounds despite a seemingly healthy diet? Do you have IBS symptoms that your doctor can’t explain? If so, it is worth investigating whether your diet is a major contributing factor. Continue Reading
This is an opportunity to work with me through the stars and planets in the cosmos IN PERSON IN JERSEY!!
And in much smaller group than I usually hold!
Also, until Friday 19th July it is being offered at a greatly reduced price!
Understanding and yielding my uniqueness through the codes in my astrological natal chart gave me incredible insight, and helped guide the course and flavour of my life from very early on and I want to give you the opportunity to reap the benefits of your uniqueness too, no matter how old or young you are.
This is fundemental and universal knowledge for life.
THE COSMOS IN ME is an exploratory, reflective, interactive, playful, fascinating and empowering journey into the recesses of your psyche, and a journey which aims to bring transformation in your relationships, family, career and all the aspects of life that you are calling it in.
What Potential Lies in Your Astrological Birth Chart?
Your relationship dynamics to your whole self lies in the wheel of your birth chart. Through reading and understanding your chart, together we will unravel:
The pathway and portal to your purpose on Earth.
Fully knowing your SELF and bringing play, celebration into who you are.
Understanding and embodying your feminine receptive/intuitive nature and innate needs for regeneration.
The potential within your mental realm, your communication and how to reap the best from it.
Your pathway to yield abundance and claim life’s bounty.
Your relationship karma and how to feel more empowered in the relationship you are in or call in the right partner for you
Your deepest wounds, strongest karmic lessons and how you can transform them to reap their power.
Your raw masculine assertive power and how to claim it fully in a way that aligns to better life on earth.
The endeavours that will help you personally to expand and flourish the most.
Understanding how future transits of the planets will influence/change your mood/energy/lifestyle.
This course will be solely taught by myself.
I’ve studied astrology in-depth since I was in my early twenties. I self studied through many books and had a personal astrology tutor who lived in Jersey. Since then I have consulted many professional astrologers and gained an even broader understanding of the planets and own relationship to them. My most resonant influence has been ‘Astropsychology’ a term coined by Carl Jung in the school of Analytical Psychology, and also sometimes referred to as Humanistic Astrology. This incorporates understanding and support from the greek god planetary archetypes as well as the main collective unconscious psychological archetypes, which form a common foundation for the experiences of all human beings.
This course is for you if you ….
Are wanting to reap, celebrate and embody your innate gifts for the benefit of all beings.
Are ready to uncover and transform the hidden power within the deepest wounds and challenges your life brings you, and integrate the empowered blueprint of your chart’s potential into your life.
Want to clear stuckness/depressive energy and immerse in an embodied flow that happens when tapped into your authentic needs.
Have a curiosity for understanding the universal connections and mythic realm within the fabric of the cosmos, and the links therein to your psyche.

Visioning & Awakening Soul Journey/Retreat
.
🌱 Chakra Soul Journey/Dance Meditation
❤️Vision Board Creating
🌱Sacred Sharing Circle
❤️Alchemical Body-Prayer Dance
🌱Conscious Communion
❤️Soup & Cake Share (GF+VE)
.
As the celebration of ‘Imbolc’ is upon us, we come together consciously in honour of the new seeds of awakening that are stirring inside of our cells.
.
Many of us set resolutions or goals during the new year, but Imbolc is also a great time for goal setting and thinking about personal development that we’d like to see throughout the year.
.
This is also a great time for planning and creating ideas to help your enterprise grow. If you’ve been thinking about reinventing yourself, trying something new or coming up with new ideas, now is the time.
.
During our time together, a chakra awakening practice will be guided through song, meditation and ecstatic dance, with the beautiful aid of ceremonial cacao to align our intentions with our hearts (the central chakra and bridge between the ground and the ether chakras). The process creates an alchemy within our heart, minds and bodies and helps to expand us where we have contracted. We become less in our left brain and more open to our creative/dreaming side.
.
There will also be time to create vision boards to bring into the earthly plane texture and clarity to all our desires and intentions before we will end our time together with delicious soup and cake (vegan and gluten free).
Alexander Lee-Briard, Maria and friends will offer live music, creative vibes and song for the journey.
.
All materials will be supplied but if you have anything creative you’d like to use please bring it too.

In the days before our ceremonies we can use our creative visualisation potential to make the circle stronger and the medicine more profound by imagining ourselves in the circle together with intention for connection and openness to what wants to come forward.
Please prepare your body by planning to eat just lightly before the event or leave an empty stomach if you want to feel the effects of the medicine more strongly (do not worry the cacao will bring you plenty of energy), take no caffeine nor other stimulants (Alcohol included) before as the cacao is a powerful cardiovascular stimulant.
The Promise of Cacao
We will connect together with the guide of Cacao.
She adapts to the needs of each person and helps them to connect and feel openness in their heart. She offers a deep journey of healing our pathway to love and brings immense clarity of mind and profound insights.
She is said to reveal patterns, cultivate self-love, forgiveness, increase consciousness and support us in our path and personal growth.
In Western culture we’re not used to seeing plants as sacred, working with their spirit, nor allocating them certain powers. We are blessed that Cacao is now being quite widely offered as a medicine for connection and restoring our true humanity in the west.
Physiological Benefits of Cacao
Benefits are found in the neurotransmitter modulating agents that act as natural antidepressants. Its high valeric acid content blocks the stress hormones, while triggering the release of dopamine, anandamide and the endorphin phenylethylamine, all of which are known as the ‘bliss molecules’.
Cacao also contains the essential amino acid tryptophan, which increases production of serotonin, an important brain chemical that helps us remain positive and happy. These neurotransmitters also remain in the bloodstream longer after ingesting cacao, creating a natural antidepressant benefit, while the theobromine and caffeine content boosts energy levels and relieves fatigue.
The caffeine content is actually very low and it is the theobromine content (which translates to ‘food of the gods’) which increases energy. It is a cardiovascular stimulant rather than a nervous system stimulant (as in the case of coffee).
Cacao is the number one antioxidant food in the world, coming in with 15 times more of these awesome flavonoids than blueberries. These precious antioxidant flavonoids help in trapping damaging free radicals and heavy metals, clearing up corrupt cells from the system and supporting detoxification, as well as aiding in the optimisation of blood function and fortifying blood vessel and artery walls. This helps to improve circulation, supports the heart muscle and regulates blood pressure.
Cacao is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including being a top source of Magnesium, Manganese, Sulfur, Iron, Zinc, Potassium, Copper and Chromium in its raw state.
Precautions
Its best to consult your physician before booking a ticket if you are : Taking Antidepressants, taking hypertension medication, if you are Pregnant (it is likely still safe to consume ceremonial cacao but at lower doses) and if you have a heart condition.
What to Bring
Wear layers to keep you warm and clothes that you can move around in. Especially as for some of our events we may be OUTSIDE.
Blankets for lying on and one to put over you. Cosy comforts.
Plenty of water as we get more thirsty than usual with Cacao.
When we are in our bodies – moving to the echo of nature, to the pulse of life, we are at home. Our return home can be as simple as a choice to drop back down into the cells, muscles and bones of the body. It is the honest practice of the heart, and where we can allow our boxed away messiness to breathe and be alchemised by the communal exposure within a pulsating chapel of rhythm.
Where else can you immerse in a holy ground of truth, tenderness and courage whilst stomping ancestral dust into the ground?
Our mother vessel for the evening will be Cacao – in all her beautiful heart opening glory. An avatar of these intense and unpredictable times to help us return back home with each other and remember our interconnectedness and true humanity.
Maria will bring the medicine of Cacao and hold the Ecstatic Dance whilst Adrian Kent will share some Kundalini Yoga.
We will have some live musicians to bring some lovely vibes to the evening.
Why are many of my events centred around Ecstatic Dance?
ecstatic
ɪkˈstatɪk
adjective: feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement. involving an experience of mystic self-transcendence.
noun: a person subject to mystical experiences.
It is the mystical momentum that happens when we put ourselves intentionally into motion, within community to let our truth speak through our bodies.
It is the practice of the heart
It is the offering of the soul to life.
The remedy for stagnation.
The remedy for heartbreak.
The remedy for numbness.
A unique place and time with the invitation to show up just as you are.
Not for entertainment, not with expectation, not to people please.
A place and practice to bring our boxed away messiness into the open to breathe and to play.
To have a chance to be witnessed and transformed by the alchemy of conscious exposure.
To know that all parts of us are welcome. Somewhere. Without censorship.
A practice to surrender to the bubbling potential that arises from our surrender to being an intrinsic, colourful, bright and also shadowy part of nature.
Our ecstatic dance community knows the medicine that comes from being truth.
We are the medicine for each other.
An offering en masse baring the beautiful and painful imperfections of life.
Where else can you adventure into the heart of your spirit with inclusivity and full permission to let go of all right and wrongs?
Where else can you fall at your own feet in awe and wonder at the mystery of the fabric we weave together?
Where else can you burn freely and wildly in the alchemical fires of passion and transformation?
Where else can we find safety in the vulnerability of showing your soul, whilst stomping millenial karmic dust and tribulation into the ground?
Here we honour each other and the tenderness that arises from the re-connection of the cells in the body.
A homely playground of truth, tenderness, bravery and curious willingness.
An 8 week intensive dance-sing-prayerful-movement immersion into the mysterious spiral fabric of your body and psyche.
Influenced by wonderful mystics and teachers such as Caroline Myss, Toko-Pa Turner, Ram Dass, Reginald Ray, Gabrielle Roth and Joanna Macy. You are invited to be part of a core group working deep with the past, present and future to claim the power you have lost on life’s journey.
Starting in April 2022, if you cannot attend the whole journey, it is also possible to book individual sessions.
🌈 Our chakras connect strongly with our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. They are healthy when we are empowered and energised through life experience, initiations and environmental factors. They are weakened through personal trauma, ancestral trauma, illness and stagnation physically, emotionally and spiritually.
🌈 We can claim back lost energy in them with enquiry, reflection, witness and embodied movement; acknowledging our interconnectedness and with that, our intrinsic need to attend to our wounds – becoming our own sovereign healers.
🌈 What can you expect?We will work through the heart rendering and powerful medicine of ceremonial cacao with self enquiry, movement, mantra, meditations, kundalini yoga and with each other as compassionate comrades to restore balance and wholeness into ourselves within each theme of each chakra. This is a full-bodied exhilarating and liberating journey but also one that works on a profound level in our wellbeing and psyche.
🌈 Everyone is welcome.Whether you are seasoned in personal growth through chakra work, or whether you are completely new, you are welcome to join us. If you joined for a past chakra journey, this will be unique, with new exercises, modalities and meditations.

Dear friends
You are invited to join us for a rich ceremonial journey with the sacred plant medicine, cacao.
Cacao adapts to the needs of each person and helps them to connect and feel openness in their heart. She offers a deep journey of healing our pathway to love and brings immense clarity of mind and profound insights.
She is said to reveal patterns, cultivate self-love, increase consciousness and support us in our path and personal growth.
In Western culture we’re not used to see plants as sacred, work with their spirit or allocate them certain powers. There is a lot we can learn from plants and knowledge from native culture. We are blessed that cacao is now being used as a medicine for connection and restoring our true humanity in the west.
What to expect?
We will begin within 10 minutes of arrival time (please arrive at 6:15 to have plenty of time to settle) and we will officially open and set our sacred container. The middle part of the ceremony is a shared group experience with cacao and a guided ecstatic dance body-prayer. We will end with a closing where we give thanks, and acknowledge what the group created during our time.
What to bring?
Please bring many warm layers. Especially if we will be outside, the temperature drops a lot once the sun goes down. Also bring a blanket and water and some food to share at the end of the journey. Bring a camp chair if you do not wish to sit on the ground.
How to prepare?
It is really helpful for the ceremony if you lightly fast during the day and avoid alcohol, caffeine, meats and dairy for 24 hours before.
Outside venue
If the weather is good the ceremony will be held in an outdoor location on the North East of the island. All participants will be notified 24 hours in advance if this is the case.
Precautions
Its best to consult your physician before booking a ticket if you are : Taking Antidepressants, taking hypertension medication, if you are Pregnant (it is likely still safe to consume ceremonial cacao but at lower doses) and if you have a heart condition.
