What The Wild Gatherings Are
Our gatherings are not just events. They are pauses in the rush, invitations to connect with yourself, others, and the land around you. Whether among the lavender in full bloom or in the quiet hush of a winter afternoon, each one is designed to hold space for reflection, conversation, and presence.
Future Gatherings
The next dates are taking shape… as soon as they’re confirmed, you’ll find them here.
I can’t wait to welcome you into these moments of pause, connection, and presence.
Gather with us this autumn for a restorative day of journaling, connection, and wild beauty.
About this event
Sometimes life feels too full to hear yourself think. The to‑do lists, the caring for others, the constant hum of "what's next?" leave little room for your own voice.
This is your invitation to pause. To step into a wilder, quieter space — where leaves whisper, water ripples, and the pace of life slows to match your breath.
In the stillness of the Kent countryside, you'll be guided to journal, reflect, move mindfully, and connect with nature. You'll release what no longer serves you, give yourself permission to dream again, and leave with clarity, intention, and a sense of what your next chapter could be.
What You'll Experience
Over the course of the day, you'll be guided through a series of grounding, inspiring, and creative practices:
Bypass the inner critic and let your truth flow freely onto the page.
Connect to the rhythm of your breath and the land beneath your feet.
Explore where you are now, and where you feel called to go.
Release what no longer serves you back to the earth.
Unlock new perspective with creative art technique.
Access your intuition through imagery and symbolism.
Simply be, in wild beauty.

Past Gatherings
Pause In The Lavender - Summer 2025
A warm July afternoon brought friends and strangers together among rows of lavender, where conversations mingled with the hum of bees.
We shared stories, picked blooms, and let the day unfold without hurry.
Here are a few glimpses.
Who it’s for
For women (often 40+) who’ve given everything to everyone else and feel drained or stuck. You know something needs to change - you just want a steady guide and a sane way to start.
Past participants share their experience…
TESTIMONIALS
"The buzzing of the bees was like a mantra"
I have really enjoyed the time to Pause in the Lavender session.
The buzzing of the bees was like a little mantra during the session and the fragrance of lavender just overwhelmed me.
I enjoyed the breathing exercises but in particular the session about what is on your plate. It was such a visual reminder writing everything down – like putting everything down what is on your mind and allowing yourself space to think. I was so relaxed after the session and slept very well. I have popped the lavender bag in my handbag and the next day at work I sore I could still smell the lavender and thought that I was hallucinating, but just forgot I have a real souvenir from the day before.
"I left feeling grounded"
I had the most gorgeous evening at the Lavender Fields, hosted by the lovely Heather. The setting was absolutely stunning peaceful, calm, and filled with the scent of lavender in the air. It was exactly what I needed
We did some beautiful breathwork that really helped me unwind and reconnect. I left feeling so grounded and relaxed… and I actually had the best night’s sleep afterwards!
The Radiant Pause
CASE STUDY GROUP IS STARTING SOON
