Your path is yours to walk. But you don’t have to walk it alone. 💖

The spiral reminds us that our journeys rarely move in a straight line. We circle back, meet familiar parts of ourselves in new ways, and keep finding our way home, each time with a little more tenderness and truth.

This January, Sacred Spiral returns to Morocco for a water-themed retreat at the beautiful Atlas Kasbah, near Agadir. Lindsay, Georgie and Dymphi will share sunrise Sufi whirling, Flow Dance Meditation, voice activation and a floating sound journey, with space to listen for what your own path is calling you towards.

19–24 January 2027 | Morocco

If Morocco is calling you, comment “SPIRAL” below or send us a message and we’ll share the retreat details.

Some of my favourite adventures this year have been with this beautiful soul, Georgie 🙏🏼✨

@walkwithwomen I’ve been wanting to write a few words to honour our friendship and the journey we’re sharing.

My mind and my heart keep coming back to Konya, we travelled together this summer. For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s the city where Rumi lived, and a place deeply connected with Sufi whirling. Turkey brought me a grounding I can’t quite explain and a sense of recognition. And I’m so grateful that you were able to witness this and mirror it back to me.

I love hearing what this practice means in your own life and your witnessing your personal exploration and connection to it.

And I’m so grateful for our @sacredspiralretreats and what it’s becoming for us. As place to gather what we’re learning, let it deepen and give it room to take shape together. And also for our beautiful home in Morocco, and that we get to bring this work there together. We have a handful of places left for 19–24 January. If you feel drawn to join us, send us a message. ✨

Thank you @kenkenjohnston for taking these photos of us in Greece last week. We’ve spent so much time traveling together this summer and didn’t have any pictures to honor and remember the journey and now we do! 🤗 📸

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation.

See you next year, @bonjukbay 🌅

July was a difficult month for me.

Which feels strange to say, because on the outside, it probably looked like an incredible one.

I travelled to beautiful places. I facilitated. I trained. I met amazing people. I had experiences I’ll never forget.

But behind the photos and the beautiful moments, July challenged me in ways I wasn’t expecting.

I was triggered more times than I’d like to admit, and there were moments where I reacted from a deeply emotional place that I’m not proud of. Things didn’t unfold the way I had hoped they would, on many occasions.

My training didn’t go as planned, and I was forced to learn some pretty valuable lessons.

I felt unwanted in a place I deeply loved. I felt hurt by people I cared about. I questioned myself, my choices, my path… almost everything.

And honestly, I was exhausted.

For most of the month I felt burnt out, unmotivated and disconnected from myself. There were moments where I wondered what I was even doing and whether I still wanted any of it.

Because Instagram doesn’t show that part.

It shows the sunsets, the travel, the magic, the beautiful experiences.

It doesn’t always show the messy, uncertain, emotional human being behind the camera.

And yet, one of the biggest gifts of this month was the people around me.

The people who showed up. Who listened. Who held space. Who reminded me who I am when I had forgotten. Who loved me even when I wasn’t showing up as the best version of myself.

I’m incredibly grateful for every person who was a rock for me this month.

For loving me through the messy parts.
For accepting me when I was emotional, exhausted, confused and human.
For reminding me that I don’t have to have it all figured out.

I finally feel like I’m coming back to myself.

And I’m walking into August with a much softer heart, a few more lessons, a lot more self-awareness, and an enormous amount of gratitude.

Thank you to the people who held me this month.

You know who you are 🤍

What a joy it was to play with my sisters and brothers (Iris &İris, Arian, Mariska, Sophie, Lizzie), L.uai, reconnecting with our inner children at Bonjuk through ecstatic dance and cacao. 💛

My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the beautiful space that was created, the genuine connections we shared, and the laughter, presence, music, and love that flowed throughout the day.

A heartfelt thank you to Mason for his cacao, Pina Baran, for the inspiring music and ecstatic dance journey and to all the beautiful souls who poured their hearts, making this gathering so special. Your love, presence, and dedication were deeply felt and appreciated.

Thanks to Bonjuk Bay for the beautiful playground.

Thank you to each and every one of you. I'm so grateful our paths crossed on this beautiful journey.

With so much love and gratitude. ✨🤍

In Cappadocia, I :
– found myself surrounded by wildly creative, deeply ambitious souls.
– received approximately 732 sage cleansings. I’m spiritually covered for the year.
– breathed, deeply, a lot, maybe too much. And cried – woke up too much early but happy. – got slightly drunk on cacao. – made it my personal mission to never miss a Turkish breakfast. – tried to catch a pistachio on a mountainside. – met soul sisters, the kind of women who remind you that goddesses walk among us. 
I left with a heart overflowing with love and everything this place allowed me to feel ✨ credit photo : everyone except me

✨Inner & Outer Journey✨

Wow, it’s taken me some time to finally land after the last few weeks, but I’m finally having some chill solo time and it’s been exactly what I’ve needed.

I thought I was being clever by planning my training back to back with inner & outer journey and joining the two together in Cappadocia. In hindsight it probably wasn’t the best idea as I didn’t have time to integrate from running my training before jumping in to inner & outer journey.

Unfortunately I was completely exhausted and feeling depleted for Inner & Outer journey and I really feel like I didn’t make the most of it as I spent a lot of time resting and not participating in the workshops.

But I really enjoyed facilitating my session and I’m so grateful to everyone who came along and supported me. Thank you 🙏

I got to see some old friends and I met so many lovely people. I really didn’t take many photos as I was trying to enjoy the moments and be as present as possible, but here are a few favourites.

Thanks to everyone who made this week really special and most of all thank you to @rosaaygun & @fatihymag for the heart and soul you both poured in to this event to make it incredible for everyone who attended. I feel so honoured to have been part of it 🤍✨

The Connection Table has been a concept I’ve been thinking about for a little while now. ✨

In a world where we feel like we’re connected with one another because we’re hyper-connected digitally, we are actually living in a time when we’ve never been more starved of human connection.

For the first time in history, loneliness is now recognised as a public health crisis. 1 in 3 people report to feeling chronic loneliness. And a lack of social connection has been reported to carry the same mortality risk as fifteen cigarettes a day and is linked to higher rates of heart disease, stroke, dementia, anxiety and depression.

And I believe a key reason behind this epidemic of loneliness is our increasing connection to technology and our decreasing connection to ourselves. Because the truth is, you cannot meet someone else at a depth you haven’t yet met yourself.

That is what The Connection Table is here to help combat.

And what an incredible way to launch the concept at the final dinner of @innerandouterjourney_ ❤️

Still landing after @innerandouterjourney_ in Cappadocia. My heart is full.

Sunset and sunrise dances, dinners deep underground, hikes trough this magical landscape, music in caves and ancient churches, and workshops with some of the best facilitators out there, all of it helping us meet ourselves deeper. Because that is where it all begins: within. Connecting to our own inner world. Our truth. From there we move outward. Expressing ourselves. Connecting to each other and to this ancient land.

This was one for the books.

So much love to @fatihymag & @rosaaygun and the rest of the Inner and Outer crew for making this all happen!

🙏🤍

The greatest tragedy isn’t that we lose ourselves. It’s that we become rewarded for it,

Rewarded for sacrificing ourselves.
Rewarded for overachieving.
Rewarded for people pleasing.
Rewarded for abandoning our truth.

Until one day our bodies ask us a question our minds cannot answer. “When did you stop listening?” Healing isn’t becoming someone new. It’s having the courage to return to who you’ve always been. A beautiful and truly emotional experience for so many in the audience after my powerful eye opening, thought provoking talk on the power of gut intuition. It truly moved the room in ways I didn’t expect 🥹Thank you @innerandouterjourney_ for such a beautiful experience, and for allowing me to witness the love, tears, breakthroughs, and transformations that unfolded during my session. Moments like these are a reminder of why I do what I do. There is nothing more meaningful than watching people reconnect with themselves and leave a little lighter than when they arrived 🤍🤍🤍

And so grateful to my incredible photographer for capturing these special moments,

Second year back at the @innerandouterjourney_ in Cappadocia, and once again… no words that fully do it justice. ✨

One of my favourite parts of this retreat is the music, the celebrations, and the connection, old friends and new ones who feel like they’ve been in your life forever. Themed nights where we dressed as ethnic mosaic, the colours of the valley, a gala dinner under the theme of LOVE. Every night was its own activation.

I truly believe Turkey and Cappadocia especially is a portal. ✨ Not just for your own transformation, but for transformation through connection.

When a like-minded group of conscious people, healers and teachers come together in one place, it elevates everyone’s way of thinking and being.

This retreat has given me a family. And I came home, again, changed. 🤍
