Yesterday was the ancient festival of Lammas, connected to the Celtic honouring of the first loaf harvest; it was an expression of the harvest goddess Demeter in all her glory. It falls on the mid point between summer solstice and autumn equinox. Although no longer celebrated, what it represents is evident all around me in the fruits, vegetables, nuts, fields of grain, and vines all of which are ripening and giving, so that we may benefit by them. The local bakery window is full of harvest […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® July Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-july-newsletter/): July Greetings A glorious abundance of summer sun and flowers have created Midsummer magic recently and I had the pleasure of seeing Mid Summer Nights Dream in a beautiful outdoor venue as the twilight descended and fairy lights lit up the natural stage under the trees. A Midsummer treat! What a special time of year it is with the full force and abundance of nature blossoming all around us and so many flowers blooming their beauty into the world.Gorgeous scented lavender and roses now adorn gardens and parks and are always a colourful delight in Summer. Lavender is such a […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® June Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-june-newsletter/): “Flaming June” by Fredrick Lord Leighton a Pre-Raphaelite painter. Welcome To My June Newsletter Summer is arriving, and with it the abundance of flowers and foliage in nature. I love June and the colours it brings; the roses and tasty red English strawberries! The name June derives from the Roman Goddess Juno, the chief female goddess, wife of Jupiter. She is connected to the Greek counterpart, Hera, wife of Zeus. Hera and Juno represent the queenly woman who has a partner (outer or inner!) and is established in her adult womanhood. So it’s a very good month for getting married! As the […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® May Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-may-newsletter/): Creative Soul Journeys® Day Immersion RetreatDiscover the Goddess in You‘Opening and Blossoming to Life’Take time Now to Appreciate Your Body and SoulSaturday May 11th 10.00am -5.00pm Creative Soul Journeys® Day Immersion Retreat Do you need a day off for you?

The cycles of nature, and the journey in our inner soul life are a recurrent theme of my work, of the Myth of Persephone (Hymn to Demeter) and the Life/Death/Life cycle described inhero journeys, and all cultures myths. How will we take up this inner journey of transformation and renewal? Myworkshops endeavour to support this […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® March Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-march-newsletter/): Spring is coming!   Do you need a Spring clean? Maybe your house and belongings, maybe your energy, maybeyourbeliefs,yourbodyandyoursoul? When our system gets sluggish, it is a sign we are restoring unprocessed feelings,inner mind clutter, unmet wishes, stuck creativity, and a lack of movement. Maybe giving and receiving is out of balance too. Maybe we need to refresh and change, however small. Do you recognise this? We are heading towards the Spring Equinox and will see the light increasing overnight when the clocks change. We are also on the path towards the Resurrection of nature and ourselves. How do we […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® January Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-january-newsletter/): Dear Friends Happy 2024! Many people have remarked on how challenging 2023 has been, on a personal level and a world level. We are living in times of struggle, which has the potential to new growth, new ways of being and culturally a new paradigm shift. However, it asks each one of us to enter into our own hero’s/heroine’s journey of initiation and transformation. The archetypal mythic journey has always involved setting off on a quest, meeting one’s ally to help guide and support us with the obstacles we face, then comes a time of despair, ennui or ‘death’, with […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® December Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-december-newsletter/): Dear Friends In winter, nature has ‘gone to ground’ there is a spell of enchantment, a sleeping, a waiting and a listening in nature. As we journey deeper into the winter darkness towards Winter Solstice it can be a struggle to keep our inner light and warmth as we busily manage our daily life. How can we foster the inner energy to keep going with health and vitality during the winter? How can we keep emotional equilibrium? Support is important whether it is in the form of supplements, dance, singing, crafting, staying close to a fire to listen to a […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® November Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-november-newsletter/): Dear Friends Welcome to My Newsletter at this time of the changing of the clocks and the darkening into winter. At this threshold time, the ancestors are said to come closer, where the wise woman crone Hecate (in Greek Mythology, who now becomes the witch of Halloween) sits at the crossroads of the two worlds. This was originally the eve of Samhain in the Celtic culture, a sacred and significant time, where the Life/Death/Life cycle is acknowledged and honoured. It is a time when the dead are acknowledged (Day of the Dead in Mexico, or All Souls Day and Remembrance […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® October Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/october-newsletter/): Dear Friends We all possess the energies of the masculine and feminine in ourself, however we identify our gender. These qualities exist in us all and can be more or less prominent in different individuals. They can also be described as dominant and receptive, active/passive or focussed/diffuse awareness. When we can access both qualities they enable a full and creative life, conversely if imbalanced can cause suffering and sometimes ill health. What qualities do you associate with masculine and feminine?Do you judge one as somehow better than the other?How do they appear to you? As for what qualities?How do they […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® September Newsletter 2023](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-september-newsletter-2023/): Dear FriendsSeptember and a time for many new beginnings in the cycle of life. May you all have good beginnings this month. I would like to share with you all a bit about what participants experience in a Creative Soul Journey Retreat.We are the heroes/heroines of our own personal mythology. In our body, we carry the archetypal energy of the different mythical motifs and stages of our journey toward wholeness and meaning. We can identify and explore those archetypes that support and inform the mythic dimension of our current stage in life, relationships, aspirations, and challenges.I have explored the role […] - [August Inspirations! Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/august-inspirations-newsletter/): August Inspirations! August 1st is the old Celtic festival of Lammas, which celebrated the first harvest and the fruitfulness of the mother. This was personified by the goddess Demeter in greek mythology. We can see the wheat being harvested now and the fruits beginning to ripen. I picked my first few blackberries yesterday and noticed the reddening apples, still small but full of their potential. In Italy, the ripe peaches are abundant on the trees and juicy to eat! The decorative offering from Bali (shown in the above right photo) honours the goddess and her fecundity and to ask for […] - [Creative Soul Journeys June/July Inspirations](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-june-july-inspirations/): I had the good fortune to spend time in Bali recently, attending a special ceremony (see photos), as well as experiencing the divine offerings in the form of flower bath rituals and other delights. Beauty and pleasure are all around and I would love to offer retreats there one day! In the meantime I will infuse my UK based retreats with the essence of Bali dreams! With Midsummer solstice already behind us, we can enjoy the magic of nature and our summer nights dreams. Can we harness the energy of summer for our own life and reconnect to pleasure and […] - [May Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/may-newsletter/): May Day Abundance to you all!I have just enjoyed facilitating the wonderful retreat, Phases of a Woman’s Life. The group bonded so well and opened up to safety and support, daring to listen in deeply to themselves. I have included some photos below and participants feedback, maybe next time it can be your turn to give this to yourself. The process rejuvenates us and reconnects us to our truth and to our creative energy. Inspiration arises from the support of the group. May is always a lush month in nature with the bursting forth of bright green leaves and the […] - [Creative Soul Journeys® April Newsletter 2023](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/creative-soul-journeys-april-newsletter-2023/): Welcome to Spring! Eostre was the goddess of Spring to the people of ancient times and she brought new life and light to the world. She has lent her name to what is today one of the most important Christian festivals of the year. ** In ancient myths there is again and again the image of Life followed by Death and Rebirth. New life comes in Spring and the egg is a symbol of that new life. The symbol of water is also connected with Easter and Spring with its renewing and revivifying element. My Creative Soul Journey Retreats and […] - [March Newsletter - 2023](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/march-newsletter-2023/): Welcome to March! Daffodils beckoning Spring and getting a snow covering!!We are facing the unexpected in every way! It takes resilience to meet all life’s and weather’s challenges. Here is a cheery poem about daffodils! (from I wandered lonely as a cloud – William Wordsworth) I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o’er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.…For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of […] - [The Life, Death, Life Cycle](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/the-life-death-life-cycle/): Article for SCAP magazine – Spring 2023 Many of the most famous myths speak of a Life Death Rebirth cycle, as far back as the stories of Gilgamesh and Innana, the protagonist must endure a journey to the underworld. Innana is left to hang on a hook for three days, until some very small helpers come to bring her back to life. In Egyptian times there is the demise of Osiris by the murderous hand of Seth with Isis who finds the parts of his body and thereby enables his subsequent rebirth. In the greek myths we hear about the […] - [February Newsletter - 2023](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/february-newsletter-2023/): There’s hope! When February arrives, and the days are lengthening, we can feel the expectation and anticipation of Spring with its promise of new life. The festival of lights and the waking of natures slumber, was held on February 1st, as Imbolc. It was the Celtic festival honouring goddess Brigit, and is also the return of Persephone from the Underworld, which became in the Christian tradition honouring of St Bride and of Candlemas on February 2nd.The quintessential flower of this period is the snowdrop (in the UK), the first flower to peep out of the ground, whilst in the trees […] - [January Newsletter - Star of Wonder!](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/january-newsletter-star-of-wonder/): Creative Soul Journeys® Wishing You a Fulfilling 2023! We are still in the twelve days of Christmas ending with Epiphany on the 6th January. I am intrigued how various Christian festivals are steeped in older traditions, which connect us to ancient times, to world wise cultures. In England we do not mark the 6th January as much as in other countries. Historically and mythologically it is a very important date. The three wise men who followed the star brought their gifts to Jesus, later it was the date of the Baptism of Christ. It is older than Christmas and celebrated […] - [December Creative Soul Journey Newsletter - Darkness into Light](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/december-creative-soul-journey-newsletter-darkness-into-light/): We are approaching winter and the busy festive season … it can be a struggle to juggle all the demands, but by having inner light to guide us, maybe we can keep hold of our heart’s values. In winter, nature has ‘gone to ground’ Humans wrap up and need to hug for warmth. We move inwards as the days darken, seeking warmth in our inner fire, the fire that we kindled from the summer sun, to sustain us during winter. With advent we make ready for a celebration, a birth within us. The sun’s journey comes to a moment of […] - [November Creative Soul Journey Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/november-creative-soul-journey-newsletter/): Welcome to My Newsletter at this time of the changing of the clocks and the darkening into winter. As many already know this is threshold time, where the ancestors are said to come closer, where the wise woman crone Hecate (in Greek Mythology, who now becomes the witch of Halloween) sits at the crossroads of the two worlds. This was originally the eve of Samhain in the Celtic culture, a sacred and significant time, where the Life/Death/Life cycle are all acknowledged and honoured. It is a time when the dead are acknowledged (Day of the Dead in Mexico, or All […] - [October Creative Soul Journey Newsletter](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/october-creative-soul-journey-newsletter/): As we approach the darkness of the autumn, it can be easy to feel swallowed up by the daily tasks of the busy autumn season and the stresses of the current world in which we live. How do we withstand external pressures and find strength and steadiness within? This is something I am asking myself lately. Stories and myths can provide images of ways to keep steady with a path to follow; Vasilisa carrying her lantern through the dark forest from Baba Yaga’s house, Ariadne holding the string to not loose her way in the labyrinth or Odysseus binding himself […] - [September Newsletter: Endings and Beginnings](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/september-newsletter-endings-and-beginnings/): Creative Soul Journeys® September Endings and BeginningsThe season turns and our attention is on harvest time, new terms, new projects and now of course a new PM and Monarch.With the Queen’s passing, it is apparent how much she meant to people and how she she embodied an archetype, the female matriarch and queen Hera in her highest form, upholding values, traditions, the church. The commentary made by all the public figures are honouring her, and indirectly honouring the feminine presence underpinning the fabric of our society.I have become more aware of this lately after working with the archetypes.The cycle of […] - [Contribution to the Book: The Vital Words of The BodyVital Development® Patricia Martello](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/contribution-to-the-book-the-vital-words-of-the-bodyvital-development-patricia-martello/): Report of my research The Provision of Vital Development as part of a Therapy Programme at Nightingale Hospital, London: - [Article for Kindred Spirit Magazine Summer 2022](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/article-for-kindred-spirit-magazine-summer-2022/): What is it about myths? Myths have been described as man’s oldest way of describing the world and human beings. For millennia they have informed communities on how to live and have provided imaginative explanations of the origins of life and existence. Joseph Campbell studied world myths and religions in depth, he discovered that, ‘All over the world you find similar stories and myths arising from very different cultures, with similar themes or journeys or characters, so what does this tell us? There are universals connections, through what Jung called the collective unconscious and archetypes. These are primal patterns or […] - [August News](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/august-news/): August 1st is the old Celtic festival of Lammas, which celebrated the female principle of the earth; celebrating the fruitfulness of the mother and the first grain harvest. This is personified by the goddess Demeter. We can take a moment in our busy day to acknowledge ourselves for what we give and receive, sow and reap. It can sometimes be forgotten. I try to do a simple practice of saying at the end of each day: something I am grateful for, something I acknowledge myself for and something for which I acknowledge someone in my life. It can make a […] - [The Goddess of Spring! Bring Your Wishes into Reality](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/the-goddess-of-spring-bring-your-wishes-into-reality/): Spring is bursting with fresh bright green, and the resurrection of nature.

It overlooks the valley towards Rome and behind it towards the village of Nerola on the hill.   Nerola is famous for being the location where Neroli essential oil originated in the 17th century when a count wished to win over the lady of the castle and delivered to her a courtyard full of orange blossom flowers. She decided to use them to create an enticing scent, which became coveted throughout the courts of Europe!

[wpforms id="889"]   Time & Location Booking by arrangement Forest Row, Forest Row, UK About the event The session is a supportive and therapeutic space for a nurturing and relaxing art session. One technique I use is called wet-on-wet, which is water colour paint applied to damp paper for specific colour exercises. I also offer pastels, crayons, charcoal and painting for expressive artistic therapy, which enables the individual to express feelings and inner images on paper. Together we can discuss its meaning for you and your life. How it can help: - Colour is everywhere around us and within us and we need to absorb and experience colour for our health and wellbeing. - The use of specific colours applied in this way nourish us and allow us to experience and explore a colour mood with imagination. - Specific colours each have a particular effect on our inner emotional and physical self. - When we are depleted of energy and life forces (such as in depression, burn out, stress) using specific colour exercises can help to restore balance within us. - When using the colour in the painting exercises, our breathing can become relaxed and it promotes calmness. - By applying the colours slowly and gently the person experiences the depth of the colours. - It is a relaxing and enjoyable activity, which creates a meditative absorbing mood. - It does not require any previous artistic experience. - Painting with colour gives vitality and nourishment and depicting elements of nature and the seasons connects people to the outside world, and to inner rhythms. - Encourages interest in surroundings of past and present. - Links people to their lifestory. - Encourages cognitive functions such as memory and concentration. - Helps coordination and visual capacities. - Helpful for people feeling down or depressed. - Encourages social interaction with others. - Helps give life meaning and purpose - [Returning Home - Sealskin Soulskin](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/?p=910): New dates coming soon | Location to be announced   Level 2 Full Day Exploring the story: Sealskin Soulskin Homing and Returning to Yourself Register your interest and we'll be in touch with further details Register your interest and we'll contact you with more details.

[wpforms id="889"]   Time & Location New dates coming soon Locations details announced soon About the event 'It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure', - Joseph Campbell   Join ‘Journey into the Labyrinth’ for an adventure inspired by the hero/heroine journeys found in many archetypal myths such as Theseus and the Minataur, Odysseus’ journey, and Innana and Persephone's journey to the underworld. All over the world we find similar stories and myths arising from very different cultures, with similar themes, journeys or characters. They contain archetypal images and motifs which offer us potential wisdom on our path through life. The hero’s journey is found again and again, what is that journey? It involves a preconscious state and a setting off on a quest into the unknown to meet the fear of the darkness, the monster and trials and tribulations. Will the individual rise to the challenge, will s/he listen to the wise guide who accompanies and helps? Will s/he return from the adventure with increased insight and even a gift to share with the community? Working with the images that these myths bring forth we will discover their resonance in our life. We may ask questions such as, What is the journey of discovery we might need to make in our current life? What fears do we need to face? What area do we wish to mature into? How can we find patience and rest for ourselves? We will discover the treasures that lie within us and how we can bring forth new possibilities for our life. We will explore the seven stages of the hero’s journey and discover how to enrich our life with awareness and return with new creativity. If you wish to open to a new adventure or if you already are on a path of self discovery, then this transformative workshop will support you to understand the stages of the hero/heroine’s journey. Inspired by the work of Steiner, Jung, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Joseph Campbell, Marion Woodman, Vital Development and Anna Halprin. Suitable for people who wish to enquire within and transform aspects of their life and to support creative CPD for therapists to support their and their clients journey. Be the hero or heroine of your life! What are the changes you wish to make in your life? Inspired by classical myths, we will go on a creative, inner journey of transformation, to bring forth new possibilities for our life. Workshop using the power of myth with art and movement. Transformational workshop inspired by myth and deepened through movement to music and arts. An enriching day to be creative and experience the power of myth as a catalyst for change, with expressive art and movement to music. Find your inner treasures and new possibilities for our life. Shake off old patterns that prevent you being fully vibrant in your life! Many of the challenges we face in life are illustrated in the archetypal myths found in many cultures, such as Ulysses, Theseus and the Minataur, Vasilisa and Persephone's journey to Hades. The journey that the hero or heroine goes on in the myth can be understood to describe the journey of facing our fears and overcoming them and awakening with renewed wisdom and self knowledge. - [The Butterfly Project](https://creativesouljourneys.co.uk/?p=886): New dates coming soon | Location to be announced Level 1 Transformation through the life/death/life cycle of the Butterfly Woman.

We move inwards as the days darken, seeking warmth in our inner fire, the fire that we kindled from the summer sun, through the autumn with the meteor iron strength, to sustain us during winter. We listen to the nature’s (mother earth) and her heartbeat. The sun’s rhythmic journey comes to a moment of transition and a turning point at the solstice. We mark the turning by being ready for a new direction in our life. With advent we make ready for a celebration, a birth within us. We raise our hearts upwards to celebrate the birth of the new sun and light that will increase and the cosmic Son. We each take our candle and each one journeying on life’s path to the centre, light it from the source. We are now re-sourced to shine our light in our life and in the world.
