Is it time for you to come play? This is a lovely day where we celebrate all that we have experienced this year and look forward to an amazing year coming.

What an incredible time to be alive!

Scotland is waking up – powerful lands & people & traditions and it feels as if the whole of existence is going through birthing pains . . . .

The Celtic celebrations of the eight Sabbats forming a portal into the wisdom of the land and of the seasons …

*********************

As we mark the ebbing of winter and the coming of spring, and celebrate the returning light, come join us in a celebration of your own potency and potential.

The word ‘Imbolc’ translates as ‘In the belly’ – it is the time when our ancestors gave thanks for making it through the cold months, and though more were to come, they could see the light and warmth and growth of spring return. This time is the time of Bride or St Brigit who is the goddess or the patron saint of the hearth; of home, warmth and the safety of the womb, as we prepare for all that will be born into this year. This is the time to hold the vision of all that you call to yourself for this year.

Using story telling, music, movement, touch & laughter we connect to our own power, the weave of sensuality, sexuality & spirituality, & explore what it means to be embodied at this time.

In praise of a previous events:

“The morning session was woman only and, when you opened sacred space, I felt such a deep connection to all of the other women. I felt very honoured and safe in your Playshop and that gave me the confidence and will to explore my lack of relationship with my belly. Once I had accepted that it was safe to do so, that was when I could feel my healing beginning. I also felt that my healing and the power in my belly was helping other women – and not just those in the Playshop. It felt more universal than that. I heard myself asking ‘why have this amazing power and not use it for good’?

A wonderful morning of music, tears, laughter, speaking, listening and support – all beautifully facilitated and organized by you Gillian, thanks.” ~ female participant (Into The Belly)

"Gillian is very skilled at creating and holding a sacred space where people feel safe to go deep and share the parts of themselves that they keep hidden from the world. She was very present and caring at the workshop." ~ female participant (Into The Belly)


"I wanted to say thank you for the playshop on Sunday. I had never attended anything like this before and was incredibly nervous beforehand. That nervous feeling disappeared almost as soon as I entered the room and I think that was down to the positive energy, both from you and the others present.

Everything I did that day was new to me but the environment that you created made it a very safe and secure place to gain new experiences. I felt able to explore myself in the company of very warm, accepting people. I really appreciated the fact that there was no compulsion to share if that would make me feel uncomfortable.

The atmosphere was amazing and the music was so suited to the different aspects of the day. I enjoyed all the different exercises and found that I was being stretched to think about me and my relationship to other people and to the Earth.

The circle at the end of the day was truly wonderful with everyone being honoured by the group in the way that they choose. I found it took me some courage to ask, but being so beautifully hugged by the entire group was an experience I will never forget – I can still feel it almost a week later.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful day." ~ female participant (Honour The One)

"A lovely playshop that lived up to its title! " ~ male participant (Honour The One)
