Join the Retreat
Do you want to live a life more wild? Do you want to look up at dark skies, explore ancient rituals and quiet the noise for a moment? Then you’ve found the right place.
Welcome!
Come and join us as we follow the phases of the sun and moon, tune into seasonal recipes and books, and feel the joy of a simple, slow approach to life.
Let's walk through the seasons together shall we? Let’s gather at the Solstices and Equinoxes to find our way back to a simpler, slower pace of life. Let’s put down some roots, tune back in to the cycles of the moon and sun and feel some peace flow back into our bodies and souls.
Sign up for my newsletters and I will send you a regular slice of seasonal magic to help you live a life more wild. From soothing seasonal rituals and delicious recipes to ideas for celebrating the ancient seasonal festivals, my newsletters have been described as ‘warm, gentle and cosy’. My hope is they will find their way to you just when you most need them.
There are two levels; a free subscription plan for those who want to dip a toe in the waters first, and a paid Seasonal Retreat Membership for those who want to dive right into the cool refreshing water and swim under the stars.
Why take out a Seasonal Retreat Membership?
Free subscribers receive one free email from me a month. Think of it as a little nudge from me every so often to remind you that there is a simpler, wilder way of being.
Seasonal Retreat members get ALL the seasonal magic. Permission to look up at dark skies, follow the phases of the sun and moon, tune into seasonal recipes and gather online with like-minded souls at a few wild and ancient times of the year. At each of the Solstices and Equinoxes you will receive a package of (virtual) treats from me to help you tune into the unique Solar energy and ancient folklore of each season. And at the Solstice or Equinox itself we will all gather together in an online chat space to share the energy and magic of the day together.
Here’s what you get with each plan:
Free Subscribers get:

12 Monthly Notebook articles a year - these taster emails are packed with tips, recipes and ideas to give you a flavour of what seasonal living looks and feels like (hint: you’re going to love it). That might be enough for you. But if it leaves you wanting more, step forward the Seasonal Retreat Membership.

A deeper connection to the seasons
Whichever plan you choose I always try not to overwhelm your inbox and add to the digital clutter. My emails should land in your inbox just often enough to keep a seasonal thread of connection running throughout the year, but not too much to overwhelm you.
I designed this Seasonal Living community to be a peaceful, calming online space to help you to unlock a deeper connection to the natural world and settle into a natural rhythm. But I don’t want this to be something else you have to add to your to-do list. So there won’t be any intimidating group zoom calls, scheduled meetings, deadlines or coursework. Everything I send you will arrive gently and quietly in your inbox for you to enjoy and savour at your own pace. In a busy world, I want this to feel like a safe and warm place online to settle and rest for a while.
