The Autumn Equinox fell on Saturday 23rd September; marking the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn. On this day, the hours of light (day) and dark (night) are of equal length, nature's reminder for us to restore balance.
A change in season can evoke many emotions in us, I wonder how it would feel to follow nature's example rather than fight it... Could the longer nights be an invitation to slow down?
As we move into Autumn, the season when trees begin to shed their leaves and remind us to let go, I wonder what could you release that is no longer serving you?
What would you like to welcome into that space?
As always, this month I have a range of mindfulness offerings to support your wellbeing.

What about Retreats in Sussex?
The Winter Wellness Weekend Retreat is now fully booked. Ylva and I looking at new venues and options to bring you another wonderful weekend of yoga, relaxation and community in the new year.
I am so very very excited and honoured to be working with The City Girl Network and their brilliant new Rural Sussex Girl group. This is a community created to bring women in rural areas of Sussex together. By connecting with like-minded people we can find a sense of belonging and it is so special to be a part of it!

However, we've just opened bookings for the November Saturday Slumber; an afternoon of creative rest with a local artist Love Art Studios.
