The Monthly Edit - April 2025
Spring is here! With the Spring Equinox marking the official change of seasons on March 20th, the Earth is tilting towards the Sun, bringing us longer days, warmer weather, and fresh energy. This season is all about renewal, growth, and stepping into brighter, lighter days - both literally and figuratively.
I've been relishing the brighter mornings and making the most of the sunny weekends with trips to the countryside. There’s something deeply refreshing about feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin and taking in the fresh sea air. This year, I’ve also started planting seeds earlier than usual, and I’m excited to see what this season will bring - both in the garden and in life!
Spring is a great time to reconnect with your sense of purpose and ensure you’re living in alignment with your values. Just as nature awakens and grows, we, too, can take this opportunity to reflect on what truly matters to us and how we want to shape the months ahead.
Living a values-driven life means making choices that reflect what is most important to you - whether that’s creativity, connection, health, or adventure. When we act in alignment with our values, life feels more fulfilling and intentional. By tuning into what nourishes your spirit, you’ll set yourself up for a season of growth, just like the plants emerging from the soil. Embrace this fresh start with open arms and an open heart!
Creativity, Well-being & Purpose: A Day to Reconnect with Yourself
As spring unfolds, we naturally feel the urge to refresh, reset, and realign with what truly matters. The changing season is a perfect reminder that growth and renewal are always possible - especially when we take time to pause and reconnect with ourselves.
This is the inspiration behind my upcoming Creative Health Day Retreat on May 31st, a full-day experience that blends mindfulness, values-based living, and creative expression through pottery.
Many of us lead busy lives, often caught up in routines and expectations that leave little room for self-reflection. But what if we could slow down, tune into our intuition, and explore what brings us joy and fulfilment?
Mindfulness & Living with Purpose
The morning session of the retreat is all about exploring the connection between authenticity, well-being, and personal growth. Through guided discussions, we’ll delve into thought-provoking topics, including:
How mindfulness can be a tool to navigate life’s ups and downs
What it really means to live a values-driven life
Why people-pleasing can take a toll on your health
How tapping into intuition can guide you toward better well-being
These conversations encourage deep self-reflection, helping you uncover small but powerful changes that align your life more closely with your core values.
The Power of Creativity
The afternoon invites you to switch gears and embrace the meditative nature of pottery. With your hands in clay, shaping and moulding your own ceramic pot, you’ll experience the calming and restorative effects of creative flow. There’s something deeply satisfying about working with natural materials and creating something tangible - a reminder that, just like clay, our lives can be shaped with patience and intention.
A Lasting Impact
To ensure you leave not just inspired but supported in making lasting change, the retreat includes an optional one-to-one follow-up coaching session. This session will help you reflect on your experience, integrate insights, and set meaningful intentions for the months ahead.
The Creative Health Day Retreat isn’t just a workshop; it’s an opportunity to pause, reconnect with yourself, and walk away with tools to cultivate a life that feels more joyful and authentic.
If this sounds like something you’d love to explore, I’d love to have you join me on May 31st at The Letcombe Studio, Oxfordshire. OX12 9JD for this enriching experience.
Would you like to bring more creativity, presence, and purpose into your life? This might be the perfect opportunity to start.
