Seasons of bELONGING
What is seasons of belonging?
A year-long journey through the turning of the seasons, guided by nature, ritual and community.
There is wisdom in the turning of the seasons.
In a world that often asks us to keep striving, achieving and moving forward, nature offers us another rhythm. The trees do not rush their shedding. The earth does not question its cycles. Everything unfolds in its own time and quiet intelligence, inviting us to trust the same within ourselves. Seasons of Belonging is a year-long invitation to reconnect with the natural world and move through the ancient wheel of the seasons together. Each gathering marks a seasonal turning point—a moment to pause, reflect and return to what truly matters. Through ritual, nature connection, shared food, creativity and community, these gatherings offer a space to slow down and remember that we belong—not just to ourselves, but to the land, the seasons and one another. A place to gather. A place to listen. A place to remember.
Our founding circle: lammas - The first harvest
Lammas — The First Harvest
Our first gathering begins with Lammas, an ancient seasonal festival marking the first harvest.
Traditionally, Lammas was a time of gratitude and celebration—a moment to honour the abundance of the land, acknowledge what has grown, and recognise the shift from the fullness of summer towards the quieter days of autumn.
This gathering invites us to reflect on our own personal harvests:
What have we nurtured?
What has come into bloom?
What are we ready to release as the light begins to soften?
There is wisdom in the turning of the seasons.
In a world that asks us to keep striving, nature offers us another rhythm. The trees do not rush their shedding. The land does not question its timing. Everything unfolds in its own intelligence, inviting us to trust the same within ourselves.
Held in the meadow at the turning of the evening light, we will gather in circle, share seasonal food, create, reflect and connect around the warmth of the fire. Through ritual and sound, we will honour the transition of the season and create space to listen, receive and return to ourselves.
A gathering to slow down.
To reconnect.
To remember.

Mabon - A Gathering at AUTUMN EQUINOX
MABON — aUTUMN EQUINOX
Evening of Balance, Gratitude & Seasonal Reflection
As the days grow shorter and the air begins to cool, Mabon marks the Autumn Equinox—a moment of perfect balance between light and dark, inviting us to pause before the season turns.
This is a time to acknowledge all that has flourished, to express gratitude for the harvest within and around us, and to gently prepare for the quieter months ahead. Just as nature begins to slow, we too are invited to soften our pace, reconnect with what truly nourishes us, and find steadiness in the changing seasons.
Gather with us in the forest for a cosy evening around the fire, where we will honour the beauty of this seasonal threshold through simple ritual, meaningful conversation, gentle movement, and quiet reflection.
Together, we'll celebrate the abundance of the year so far, explore what brings balance to our lives, and create space to listen to the wisdom that often emerges when we slow down.
As darkness gently falls, we'll share a nourishing seasonal meal before closing around the fire with a gratitude ritual, carrying the warmth of the evening with us into autumn.
Together we will...
~ Pause and honour the balance of the Autumn Equinox
~ Gather around the fire in warmth and community
~ Reflect on the harvest of the past season with gratitude
~ Learn about herbs and practices to support us through the changing season
~ Journal and share in a supportive circle
~ Take part in a simple, seasonal craft
~ A simple soup and bread to share for supper
Leave feeling grounded, nourished, and gently prepared for the season ahead.

SAMHAIN - THE AUTUMN RETURN
The Autumn Return
A Samhain Day Retreat - Saturday 31st October
1:30 - 8:30pm
Early Bird pricing available until 28th September.
As autumn deepens and the light begins to soften, The Autumn Return invites you into a beautifully held afternoon into evening of ritual, rest, and gentle transformation.
Beginning at 1:30pm, we gather in the cosy yurt with cacao and opening circle, before easing into tea, sweetness, and stillness.
The afternoon unfolds through creative expression, restorative yoga and sound, and moments of deep rest — with space to pause, breathe, or step away.
As evening draws in, we come together to share a nourishing seasonal Samhain supper, before closing around the fire in a powerful release ritual — letting go of what is ready to be laid down, and returning to yourself with softness, presence, and quiet renewal.
“From the moment you arrive, you feel the care and intention woven into every detail. Her warmth, presence and ability to create meaningful experiences are truly special. What she offers is unique, heartfelt and genuinely magical. .”
