October you beauty 🍂

You may have ended with a cold but what a glorious and colourful month you’ve been!

1 - a moment of beauty at Alderley Edge National Trust on the monthly forest-bathing walk
2-4 - Creative Connections, my new forest-bathing and cacao experience had a wonderful beginning
5 - British black bees have taken up residence at the Dell, so happy to have their presence on the land and to have spent the afternoon with them and their keeper 💕 Cacao circles now have honey from the land how amazing is that! Adding to the potency of the medicine.
6 - carving out time for my own creative practices felt so good

7 - First frost!

8 - 1:1 In To Heart sessions on the land

9 - running! We’ve stuck at it, love it and are nearly at 5k! Thanks to the Bollington Harriers!

10-12 - another glorious morning at The Tawny Hotel as I get to know the estate ahead of this weekend’s first forest-bathing walk there (visit The tawny to join)

13 - finding gems on October’s forest-bathing walk at Alderley Edge National Trust (2 spaces left for 21st Nov)

14-15
- family time with the pumpkins!

16 - bestie came to stay and we both got🤧!!

17 - samhain practice at home whilst resting up with a cold

18 - every day (until I got ill) started with cacao morning practice and I really noticed the difference with this being the way the day began

November is already proving to be glorious out on nature. Don’t forget to wrap out and get outside! It’s good for you!

With love for the month ahead

Honouring those that came before🕯️🔥✨

A special point in the cycle is approaching, Samhain, when the layer between worlds is at its thinnest ✨

A special opportunity to pause and welcome connection with your loved ones who have passed - ancestors, friends, family, those who might have had a bearing on your life 🙏🏼

How often do we speak of the dead? Sharing memories from when they were here. Stories you were told or witnessed first hand to keep the memories alive.

Last year I held a cacao fire circle for Samhain, it was something I felt I had to do - centred around conversation with our ancestors. I didn’t know how it was going to go but as always I trusted in the calling from cacao. I made cacao on the fire, we lit a candle for a someone special or all, wandered within, sharing stories, laughter and tears that wished to be present.

It was gentle, beautiful and brought to life something that once upon a time would have been a normal part of life.

Bringing my ancestors (land, lineage and soul) into my present day is (I don’t want to call it a practice - it’s something that’s arisen naturally and gradually since beginning my journey to heal my (past life) witch) something I’ve been ‘doing’ now for it must be 5 years. Now it’s a part of my daily life, and it brings so much grounding, depth, and gratitude to each day.

This year, at the Dell, I’ve experienced the presence of Ancestors of the Land, too magical for words and it feels so keeping that after a pause holding cacao fire circles that has ended up being a year long, that the first circle since last Samhain takes place for this Samhain!

I was gifted a full sun’s cycle of deepening into my own connection with cacao and the land, and confirmation from Spirit of Cacao that she very much wishes to be shared on the land here 💚

How the universe works in mysterious ways.

If you’re curious to sit gently with other women in a space of love and warmth to honour this time you are so welcome to join

👉🏼 last spaces available for Samhain Cacao Fire Circle, Saturday 31st October evening, in Gawsworth

I’ll be holding cacao circles inspired by the seasons - DM for more

With love,
Amanda

Are you a Nature-Based Facilitator?

Are you looking for your nature biz besties who will put a smile on your face on those days it all feels too much?

The forest gates open soon to join the online Nature Business Circle for 2027.

If you feel you'd benefit from a simple, supportive space to help you stay focused, take action, and flow with the season as you grow your business in a sustainable, heart-led way - we'd love to have you join us!

The circles rhythm follows the seasons of the year, with deeper planning sessions each quarter and lighter check-ins in-between

Plus lots more to dip into like co-working & connection sessions, themed working sessions (like neuroinclusive facilitation), focused for five 1:1 access, resource library...

In April, 9 nature-based businesses joined me - they had all voiced that they wanted to journey through the year, connected and supported in likeminded community.

They were looking to:
- connect with other passionate nature businesses
- bounce ideas, share best practices and information related to the work we do
- be supported with accountability and structure to help plans and progress
- be inspired, and find direction
- learn from each other, to see that it's possible to run a nature-based business
- have quiet, guided reflection to tune into what feels right
- to grow in confidence and boost their energy

If you'd like to be a part of a community that's passionate about sharing the power of nature and believing in the positive impact it can have on our future - come and take a look!

The gates open soon to join the 2027 circle!

The wait list remains open this week, with a bonus 1:1 for those that join by 26th October when gates open fully. Message for more information or drop a 😄 below

Do you know a nature-based facilitator? Tag them below or send them this post.

With love,
Amanda

Join me on an autumn morning forest-bathing walk at Staffordshire

Forest-bathing is a therapeutic practice that focuses on the sensory experience of being in nature - what you can see, feel, hear and smell. Named after its Japanese origins “shinrin-yoku” meaning “to be immersed in the atmosphere of the forest”. It is deeply restorative and relaxing.

The Tawny, with the abundance of pools, peace, wildlife, trees and plant life is the perfect spot for a forest-bathe!

Visit The Tawny to join me on a guided walk though the seasons —> 7th November

Hope to see you amongst the trees,
Amanda

A little something for my fellow nature facilitators 🌿

I've loved mentoring forest-bathing students and practitioners over the last few years, and one thing keeps coming up: running a nature-based business can feel quite lonely, and many of us are working things out on our own.

So I've started a separate mailing list just for facilitators.

Once or twice a month I'll share seasonal planning prompts, business reflections, and news of what's growing in this part of my work, including the Nature Business Circle (which opens it's doors again very soon!).

It's completely separate from my usual emails, so only join if it feels useful.

It’s been 7 years, today, since a nadir in my path changed everything.

A nadir is a low point, rock bottom, and mine was a panic attack on the beach after a long day at work.

A low that became a turning point. After years of ignoring the quiet voice asking for more, and sacrificing my dreams and needs for a career, I couldn't continue.

That panic attack scared me, and it became the beginning of a new, pinnacle path - my adventure to uncover my happy life guided by my heart.

What made it all change?

The fear of uncertainty - what would happen if I left my job, how will I earn money, what if I can’t figure it out… was replaced by the fear of what I was experiencing as my new certainty - having a panic attack and worrying about where my mental health was heading.

Certainty and uncertainty traded places that night. Certainty became a scary place to be and uncertainty became endless possibilities, anything that I wanted it to be - exciting.

An essay I wrote a year ago that was long-listed for the Wild Muse Nature Prize shares more about that night and how I entered a liminal space with nature that helped me see this guidance. DM or comment below for the link.

Curiously I’ve been having this same conversation with women in their late 30s to mid 40s a lot recently. Connecting over being caught in this uncomfortable place of wanting change but not knowing how and worrying about what everyone else, and the challenges of change alongside responsibilities.

As we talk I share a little of my journey, and listen to the challenges of where they are now. It brings me so much joy (and I hope comfort for them) to now be able to hold someone else through this scary life transition - something I so desperately needed 7 years ago.

If this sounds like you right now, I'd love to hold space for you. I have one opening for a 1:1 In To Heart journey beginning this October. DM to begin with a complimentary 45-minute call, with no obligation, simply a chance to talk it through. If it eases your path even a little, it will have been time well spent.

With love,

Amanda

Meditation & Deep Rest for Winter ❄️🧘‍♀️🫖

I'm super happy that our monthly meditation sessions have found a Winter home at The Wellbeing Space in Macclesfield, it’s a beautiful space that is perfect for us to practice together over the cold, dark months!

This is the same monthly session that I hold outdoors at Tegg's Nose Country Park over the summer months. It's become a popular session, with regulars and new faces coming together to practice, take break from the chaotic world and simply be together. I'm really grateful The Wellbeing Space have welcomed us in so we can continue to gather and practice in this way - even more important to support our wellbeing over the dark, cold months.

The sessions will continue to be inspired by nature and the seasons, as we explore different practices each month. Suitable for beginners, all welcome.

📆Winter dates, Fridays 6.30-8pm:
October 30th
November 27th
December 18th
January 29th
February 26th
March 24th (Wednesday)

🔗Booking is essential via https://www.letsstepin.com/events or email [email protected]

“Thank you for a very special evening of shared meditation practice... I thoroughly enjoyed it. My permission to pause worked beautifully thanks to you. A wonderful evening to reset.” Janet

See you there!

With love,

Amanda

Something really magical happened on the land at The Dell as summer turned into autumn 🐝

We now have 3 hives taking residence, a patch of the Dell in the new woodland planted 3 years ago that’s dedicated to the 🐝

Cared for by the most gorgeous beekeeper that on Saturday I got to spend the afternoon with. Getting up close to the bees as she shared so much knowledge and I enjoyed experiencing the different energies of the hives (the tone is set by the queen), the varying sound of their buzz and the absolute joy of being with the bees and helping to care for them 💚

For those that have been following for a while you’ll know we had a nest of honey bees take up residence in the fire shelter - something that made me super happy to have them on the land but it threw a spanner having to pause gatherings until they moved on.

I was sad when they left, and made a wish for bees to come back in a different capacity! So it feels like I manifested their controlled return.

We are so lucky to have the presence of bees on the land, they are more ancient than us humans and there’s so much they can teach us. Also can’t believe I’ll now have Dell honey for cacao fire circles 😍

It was the hum of the bees back in summer 2019 that connected me with my angel spirits, a message I needed at the time, and opened my awareness to the unseen.

Always notice the animals, birds, winged ones and creatures that crawl and wriggle - that cross your path and be open to the messages or medicine they have to share with you.

Here’s to our 🐝 friends being super happy in their new home, and the gifts of their energy being shared with those that gather on the land.

👉🏼 join a gathering for women on Samhain 31st October, fire cacao circle at The Dell, Gawsworth (4 spaces available)

Blessed and grateful,
the land and I
