Dear ones,
on this beautiful July full moon, I am delighted and deeply honoured to invite you to join and my yogini sister Mischa Varmuza for our Autumn women’s ritual and yoga retreat in Glastonbury: The Feminine Prayer – October 18-20 2019.

When we come back to this precious body, rooted upon mama earth, and join together in ritual and prayer, we remember a time when we we free from the illusions of separation, comparison, fear: a field of acceptance and unity. Join us as we r ..read more
