Meet clare e. potter — Words

We’re delighted to welcome clare e. potter to Y Gathering Gymraeg, where she’ll be bringing her words and poetry to our September evening of Welsh-language creativity.

Clare is a poet and radio presenter who works closely with communities, creating site-specific work and facilitating writing for wellbeing. Her work explores language, place, culture and connection, and she is currently also exploring writing for theatre.

Her achievements include translating for the National Poet of Wales, being a Hay Festival Writer at Work and winning the Royal Society of Literature/Jerwood Poetry Award for Cymru. Her Welsh-language pamphlet Nôl Iaith follows her new collection Healing the Pack.

We’re really looking forward to hearing clare’s words as part of an evening celebrating the Welsh language through art and creativity. 💚

🤍 AMENDED DATE 🤍

Whoops…! We’re only human and made a typo on the previous poster 🙈

The Winter Wellness event is happening on Thursday 10th December (not Thursday 11th December as previously advertised as that’s completely impossible!). We did manage to get the day & date correct for October though - so no changes for that one!

Limited spaces still available for both dates 🤍

Winter Wellness delivered by HerbyWitch 🌙 & Shelley Caviell 🤍

🌿 A little look back at this week's Good Stuff...

It's been a lovely week of connecting, creating, moving and getting outdoors. 💚

We've been busy making and stitching, sharing ideas, enjoying the outdoors and taking time to notice the nature around us. Our walking groups have been out exploring, while our two Yoga with Esther sessions have given people a chance to slow down, move, breathe and take a little time for themselves. 🧘‍♀️🌿

Our creative sessions have been full of colour, conversation and plenty of making — and, as always, there's been time for a cuppa and a good chat along the way. ☕️

It's the simple things that make these sessions what they are: getting together, having a go, learning something new, enjoying the outdoors and spending time with other people.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us this week — and to the people who make our Good Stuff sessions happen. 💚

Here's a little glimpse of the week... 📸

✨🖤🌙 t h e s a m h a i n c o v e n 🌙🖤✨

before Hallowe’en there was Samhain

The Gaelic celebration of the end of summer & harvest, midway between the autumn equinox and winter solstice, believed to be when the barrier between the otherworld and the living world was thinnest, when the fairies, spirits and gods could cross over.

It was celebrated with fire and celebrations to honour loved ones who had passed over 🤍

We’re taking a step back in time and visiting our pagan roots to celebrate Samhain with our own Coven on Saturday 31st October at Down to Zero in Pontyclun.

In our log burner-warmed bell tent in the middle of the countryside, there will be drumming & dancing (very possibly barefoot), grounding & fire, herbal potions (think restorative cocktails which are actually good for you!), hearty soup and spells (meditation & intentions). 💫

It will be an evening of connection to nature, laughter & calm.

Celebrating the change of the seasons the way we used too, with a cosy modern twist 🧡

Everyone welcome. Age 14+
(ages 14-18 must be accompanied by an adult)
