As the light grows, spring invites us to open up, to find balance and to recognise our growth 

brought to you by Kindred Soil

Dear , 

Welcome to March's newsletter. A little later than I had planned - as some of you will have seen on instagram, I have been moving house (and across the country from London to Bristol!) and it has been a busy time - made more complicated by having no Wi-fi... 

Thank you all for your understanding and support - I have been weaving things behind the scenes and am excited to start sharing these with you. 

In this newsletter you'll find: 

A spring-based invitation in the form of journaling prompts. 
New offerings - Spring Equinox and updates on other offerings that are very nearly ready! 
Some incredibly kind words of feedback from recent events 

Spring invitations

The Spring Equinox is one of two calendar Equinoxes, where there is balance - day and night are equal in length. This is part of the movement of spring - the move back towards the lighter and warmer days.

I write this to you (sitting at my own desk - which feels wonderful!) watching large snowflakes fall into our little garden in Bristol in the UK. It seems that the warmth of spring has not yet arrived here, I wonder whether you have had warmer weather or are still in winter temperatures?

What is definitely coming is the light. The lengthening of the days, with more and more hours of sunlight coming. We can see this as an invitation to start to open ourselves up, and to look outwards. 

My invitation to you for this month...

Should you choose to accept it... Is to follow the invitation to be inspired, and to allow the light in. After our hibernation and introspection of the winter, the growing light can be seen as an invitation to bring our dreams that we have been planting in the winter soil, out into the light - just as the plants and flowers are beginning to do (even if they are under a blanket of snow today!) 

Here are some journal prompts to support you in exploring this invitation and these are in two parts. The first invites the dreams and desires we want to see bloom (and these can be as small or as big as feels right for you). The second part invites you to take time to recognise that, just like plants, we need nourishment to bloom, and exploring what that might look like for us.  

The prompts are: 

I have planted the seeds...

I want to bring into the light...

I am feeling inspired to...

and

I will offer myself...

My priorities will be...

I will nurture my dreams by...

New Online Offerings

Spring Equinox Celtic Wheel Event

Monday March 20th, 12-1.30pm UK time

Marking one of the two Equinoxes (the other being Autumn), we will explore inviting balance, nurturing growth and opening up our dreams to the light. 

More info and tickets available now on Eventbrite

Digital Resource Shop

You can now download and access resources immediately. As I have only just opened the shop there are a few offerings (including a mix of paid and free resources) but over time this will grow. 

You can check out the Digital Resource Shop on the Kindred Soil Website here

To be released soon...

Circle Journey Offering

I mentioned this in the last newsletter, and it is still germinating but is nearly ready to be shared! The move and lots of life stuff has slowed the process down but it is coming into the light soon! 

This will be a group journey across a few months, where we meet every few weeks for live sessions, and inbetween there are invitations to engage in somatic and mindfulness practices to embed what we are exploring together. The seasonal idea is that this eases us into spring and the beginnings of summer in a more embodied and connected way. 

If you are interested I've created a form to show your interest, as well as giving me some input as to what you feel would be most supportive and interesting for you. Those who have filled out the form will be added to an early access list and I will send you an email once the offering is live so that you can book a space if you would like to.

Feedback

Below are some kind words of feedback from participants in recent Kindred Soil events. I cannot express how much receiving feedback means to me as a practitioner weaving these offerings together - thank you all so much. 

Imbolc Celtic Wheel Event

"The Imbolc event was a perfect opportunity to pause and sit in the space between winter and the lengthening of the days and all that that means to us as humans and to me personally. The poetry, reflections and meditations were all beautiful. Harriet was so welcoming and held a beautiful space to just be, in communion."

"The event was incredible. It helped ground my thoughts as my brain fills like it goes a million miles per minute yet this really helped me feel connected to myself, the people within the circle and stopped my thoughts from spiralling which is incredible. Harriet has a way of making me appreciate things that lift my spirit and make me feel more comfortable in the world and that is such an incredible gift. As a bedbound person having things to look forward to is incredibly difficult but I ended up leaving the event feeling hopeful (and not in a toxic positivity kind of way) but just grateful that I get to witness the changing of the seasons without having to do anything and with that brings the hope of new golden moments."

February Circle Event 

"Having space where you can truly and honestly be yourself and find yourself is wonderful. To be able to say your inner most thoughts without judgement is something special. Truly a magical place. Thank you"

"The circle spaces, even though with the same build up, are so completely different everytime. And I think that's so wonderful. It's beautiful to see the change in some people and the courage and love grow. The circle spaces are my really needed time to just be and connected at the same time."

"February Circle event was nourishing and supportive. As always Harriet creates a welcoming space where I feel I can bring all of myself to the table, the vulnerable parts as well as the confident. I experience a strong connection with other group members, as I am nourished by their authenticity. At the end of the Circle I feel I have come home a little more to myself. Lovely experience. Thank you."
