🍂 Here are some of the photos ( all taken with permission), from the event that Faith and I facilitated on Saturday. What a privilege it was to host The Gathering event in Copford with such a wonderful group of people. 🙏🧘‍♀️🎼❤️. My thanks to everyone who came and who left such beautiful feedback! There were some touching stories from those who had brought items along for the community mandala in the photos. The afternoon was a time for reflection on what was important for us to take forward into the autumn and winter. Also, what it was time to let go of or at least to hold on to less tightly - just like deciduous trees know it’s time to be letting go of their leaves, 🍁 gently. Not all at once. But before they do, they gather in nutrients from those leaves to help them thrive through the winter months. We nourished ourselves too… with some gentle yoga, yoga nidra (sometimes called sleeping with awareness), and a relaxing Soundbath featuring the expansive sound of large gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks, Freewave, rainsticks and much much more. My thanks to all who came, to my daughter @faith_mcallister, to husband Richard for all the ferrying of equipment and props, to all those who trusted us to hold a safe and nurturing event for them, to the admin at the hall who provide us with a great space to use for our events…and to @nicola_chantler for her wonderful retreat the weekend before, that helped give me the rest I was very much in need of. (Nicola please tell your mum I used the delicious fudge brownie recipe she made and also made some mango chewy flapjacks from the same Deliciously Ella cookbook). I will back at the same hall this evening to offer some more yoga, breathwork and relaxing meditation later this evening so if you would like to come please message me. Copford is only about 20 mins from Colchester by car and there is free parking. #colchesteryoga #restoration #soundbath #relaxation #autumn by @cheriecatchpole

ARE YOU FEELING THE CALL?

The call to slow down a little now summer is ending? To feel pleasantly restored? To breathe just a bit more fully? To stretch and move, and then find blissful rest as you bathe for a while in glorious sound? 🍂

Faith and I are collaborating this Saturday afternoon (26th), to offer you the opportunity to gather in what supports you, and perhaps loosen your hold on what doesn’t. 🍂

Two and a half hours of sanctuary, restoration and stress release in a beautiful autumn-themed setting. 🍂

It’s our last collaboration of the year, and there are a few spaces left if you feel called to come. Tickets are £39. 🍂

Faith has been working internationally and in London this year, and will be bringing her own special blend of breathwork, sound, yoga and somatic movement. 🍂

I’ll be guiding you through a yogic sleep practice (Yoga Nidra), as well as surrounding you with the sounds of our carefully curated collection of professional instruments — including large gongs, singing bowls, merkaba, FreeWave, drums, chimes and much more. 🍂

So do have a look at the details on the poster, and drop me a message if you’d like to join us.

It’s time to gather. 🍂 by @cheriecatchpole

🌳 WHAT? A FREE guided 90 minute mindfulness walk with (hopefully!) small group of other lovely like-minded people.

🌳 WHERE? Marshall Estate, Coggeshall CO6 1TN

🌳 WHEN? This Sunday, 13/09 at 11.30am

🌳 WHY? Because the health benefits of immersing ourselves in nature, slowing down, and breathing woodland air are numerous and profound. And Markshall Estate is so beautiful!

🌳 HOW? Please comment below or just message me, and I’ll send you more details. (Please note transport and entrance fee to the estate are not included.) by @cheriecatchpole

I am so full of gratitude- to all those who come and support my classes. I just love having the opportunity to share what I love - creativity, connection, movement, stillness - with sights sounds and smells to delight the senses. Also full of gratitude to Jennie Wadsten Sharma, Melanie Cooper Yoga Faith McAllister and yougi__london for the fantastic new essential oil blend I have been using this week in class. by @cheriecatchpole

The grounds at Kesgrave Hall in Suffolk are home to some magnificent, well-established trees—including this beautiful old holm oak, yew trees, chestnuts and splendid hornbeam.

Spending time among trees can do remarkable things for us. It can help regulate the nervous system, lower stress, support immune function, encourage deeper breathing and even influence digestion through the close relationship between the brain, breath and gut.

And then there are the benefits that are harder to measure: the sense of perspective, the feeling of being held within something older and larger than ourselves, and the simple pleasure of looking closely enough to recognise one tree from another, and perhaps noticing, as I did the insects and birds, I was sharing my walk with.

The more I learn about trees through my sylvotherapy studies, the more fascinating they become. 🌳

I’ve been so busy recently, but I am in the process of planning a free forest bathing stroll in Coggeshall - just comment if you’re interested in joining me. I think it would be a lovely thing to do as a little group. by @cheriecatchpole

Just a little video of my garden after the rain, and highlighting the tenacity of an avocado grown from the pit… it didn’t give up!…even when it was was really struggling. With time and love, it was able to find other ways to flourish.

Don’t give up on yourself. Be like my avocado! Give yourself time to rest. Reach out for support if you need to. You can flourish again. ❤️‍🩹 by @cheriecatchpole

We look at a forest and see hundreds of individual trees. But beneath our feet, there’s a whole network of connection going on that we can’t see.

Through their roots and their relationships with fungi in the soil, trees exchange nutrients and chemical signals. Older, well-established trees can sometimes support younger trees growing around them. A forest is far more connected than it appears from the surface.

I love that as a reminder for us too.

We’re not designed to carry every difficult season entirely on our own. Sometimes we’re the strong one, with enough energy to reach out and support someone else. Sometimes we’re the one who needs to lean into the people around us.

So maybe check in on your people today. Share your strength when you have some to spare, and allow yourself to receive it when you don’t.

There’s something rather comforting about remembering that nature has always understood the importance of connection, community and shared strength.

Have a peaceful, grounded Thursday. 🌲🤍

I took this photo at the Marshall Estate in Coggeshall recently. If you’d be interested in joining me and a group of others for a free meditative walk there soon, please mention below. At the moment I’m just seeing if there would be any interest in the idea. You’d be responsible for yourself, your transport and admission fee. This vast estate is very quiet and beautiful- the perfect place for some guided, relaxing ‘Sylvotherapy’. #trees #woodlandwalk #mindfulness #wwlkness #phytoncides by @cheriecatchpole
