For Autistic, ADHD & AuDHD women
This one day workshop is for Autistic, adhd and AuDhd women who hold space for others (personally or professionally) who run workshops, facilitate circles, work in the healing arts, write or speak, work with creativity or spirituality and who bring their Autistic, adhd or AuDhd into what they do. If you are an autistic, ADHD or AuDhd women you will know that it brings both it’s joys and it struggles. Our world has yet to understand that it’s not us that’s broken, but the system itself and that we can’t and/or don’t want to conform to a system that feel misaligned with our values, ways of thinking, doing and expressing. I believe we have a unique and essential role to play at this time on earth in how to heal our broken world. But it seems the more we express our true selves the more pathologized we get. We are here to make big change and if we come together in mutual support and collaboration we can do so much more than alone. It begins with each of us personally finding our way to living an unmasked life, free of shame and self-judgement. This one-day workshop provides an inspiring space to discover how to live and celebrate your full, unapologetic and magnificent neuro-diverse self with the gifts you bring to the world. “I discovered so many more things about myself today just by listening to other women talk about their quirks…I came away with an encyclopaedia of more understanding…I feel so differently about myself in the best possible way…” The workshop is about being freed from the hurt of a life time of being misunderstood, judged and shamed for being who you are. A lifetime of 10,000 tiny rejections and judgements delivered in a myriad of ways from subtly to overt over many decades from small children to the present day. These hurts sit in our bodies, hearts and minds. It is only relatively recent that we have begun to become aware of the depth and breadth of what it’s like to live with Neuro-diversities in a system designed for something very different. Incredible as it seems, we live with the struggles for decades without realising so many of them and then when we see them we are dumfounded about how we could have lived all this time not knowing. This can often bring a river of grief inside us for all that we lost or missed out on as a result of not knowing. Giving space to feel the grief is important as it brings with it more self-compassion and more capacity for kindness towards ourselves. It has the power to lift the inner critic from our shoulders that kept telling us we just need to ‘make more effort’. There is deep healing in the coming together too. Sharing our stories and experiencing the power of empathy from others can crack our hearts open in a way that we have not been able to reach – this alone heals so much because it has been such a huge missing piece in the story. It’s not where the story ends but it brings courage and strength to make the changes we long for in living a life that is truly free from shame. “..I am sitting here with tears as I think about the workshop. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so empathised with about being ADHD. I feel my life changed in some way today that I don’t yet get but I know it’s profound..” This is a space for experiencing authentic, genuine understanding and empathy for the struggles that have been and daily still can be challenging to navigate. We will gather as these women and really see each other. Can you imagine being in a circle of women who really get you - like really get you, not only do they get you, they delight in you, they empathise with the daily struggles you experience because they resonate. This is what happens in the workshop and it’s magical to witness. To see the healing unfold in each woman as she blossoms like a rose and light up the room with her unique essence. “..wow…that was like nothing I have ever experienced before…this changes everything, it was so much more than I thought it would be. I can’t thank you enough…
My own Journey
HOW IT ALL UNFOLDED
I have been on my own journey of self discovery in relation to my own AuDHD which I have had since birth. It has been passed down my mother and my Father line and my daughter is also AuDHD. I have spent a lifetime living outside of conventional society in part due to being a deeply spiritual, animistic nature based soul that has always preferred living close to the land and to the Mystery and being embedded within the natural world.
But also because I could not fit myself inside the rules laid down by society. I have struggled endlessly for decades in countless ways and it is only in the past 7 years that I have come to understand why some of how I am in due to what conventional mainstream society would call AuDHD. I fiercely rejected being labeled and boxed and pushed them away for many years. However in my journey of enquiry I came to see that for a time these labels have been useful not least as they helped with research as one can search terms online to find out more.
I do not believe however that being Autistic or AuDHD is a pathology to be fixed. I believe in essence it is our modern world and the culture we live within that is the problem. That many of my ways of being are a deep connected way of living with spirit at the centre of my life and in our modern world this is not understood or welcomed. In indigenous ancestral cultures people who are what we now refer to as Autistic or AuDHD where often the shamans or healers in the village, the seers and the edge walkers. There are of course challenges to be navigated in relation to social human relating and in extreme situations self care at a basic physical level. What I am exploring (and offering here in my work) is for women like myself who are what is termed as ‘Highly functioning autistic or AuDHD’
THE CLINICAL LENS
There is much on offer for autism and AuDHD in the mainstream through a clinical lens – one that see’s us as broken and needing to be fixed and changed so that we can better ‘fit in’ and follow the rules of conventional society and we have to squash many aspects of ourself down in order to succeed with that.
I for one have no desire to do this and my work is offered to women who also wish to deepen their relationship to themselves as being autistic AuDHD through the lens of their spiritual being and how to bring though their full gifts to the world and feel authentic and resourced in that.
I believe with a passion from over 30 years of work with women and women in leadership that when women come together basically anything is possible. My intention in birthing this body of work is to slowly build a network of kindred spirits and to change the narrative, change culture and arrive at a place where we are honoured and needed in our world for the work we do and how we do it.
In the past year or more as I have been more vocal on social media about my own journey and with hundreds of requests from women who know my work – to put my 30 years of experience as a space holder and spiritual guide into helping and supporting others who are autistic / AuDHD. Finally I feel the call is too strong to not open up the pathway. I am an animist, a seer, a healer a truth teller, a heart that can hear and can champion women. If this calls to you also please join me.
Who's it for ?
You do not need an official diagnosis to join !
This is not a medical, clinical or educational day for learning about symptoms or theories through a clinical lens. If you would like to learn more about that then I recommend deepening that enquiry in all the way you can, through online research and by connecting with other women who are further along the path of understanding to you.
It feels important to be clear about who I can best serve at this time and how as I cannot help everyone who is neurodiverse. I feel I can best serve women who are walking a resonant path to me. So this offering is for highly functioning Autistic, ADHD / AuDHD women who’s work is supporting others.
It is designed specifically for high functioning Autistic, ADHD and Audhd women (either diagnosed or self identified but that you know yourself enough to know) who already have reasonably good understanding about ‘their’ Autism, ADHD / AuDHD and are ready to explore a deeper enquiry of how to fully live in this world and bring your gifts.
I am inviting women who are open to exploring or who already believe that this is not a diagnosis to be ‘fixed’ but a way in which spirit works through you.

Autumn Queen and Edge Walkers Cauldron
For those who feel the call to honour both the deep wisdom of the changing body and the sacred intelligence of a different way of being in the world, this is a powerful invitation into a 2-day immersive weekend.
While each workshop carries its own distinct medicine, when experienced together, Autumn Queen and The Edge Walkers Cauldron form a profound and intentional arc… one that bridges embodied transition with soul-led identity, weaving together the personal, the archetypal, and the unseen.
On Saturday, Autumn Queen opens a deeply nourishing and empowering space to explore menopause as initiation rather than decline. This is a reclamation of sensuality, intimacy, and selfhood… an invitation to meet the Autumn Queen within you. Here, the changing body is honoured as a gateway into deeper truth, sovereignty, and embodied wisdom.
Then on Sunday, The Edge Walkers Cauldron offers a very specific and sacred gathering created for Autistic or AuDHD women (diagnosed or self-identified), and for women who support them. This is not a clinical or educational space, but a deeply resonant one. It is for those who experience their neurodivergence as intertwined with their spiritual path as seers, space-holders, healers, and edge walkers between worlds.
Held as a cauldron of shared understanding, this day invites you to deepen into the knowing that this way of being is not something to be fixed, but something to be honoured, refined, and lived. It is for women who already hold some awareness of their Autism or AuDHD and are ready to explore how to fully inhabit their gifts…
Together, these two experiences create a unique and powerful container supporting you to move from the inner threshold of physical and hormonal transformation into the wider landscape of identity, purpose, and spiritual expression.
The 2-day Flow:
Saturday – Autumn Queen Workshop
–camp on the land of EarthHeart–
Sunday – The Edge Walkers Cauldron
You are welcome to attend either workshop individually. However, for those who feel called to this deeper, more integrated journey, honouring both the body’s transition and the soul’s unique path, we invite you to join both as a 2-day Weekend Workshop Package.
🜃 Come as you are. Honour your body, your wiring, your wisdom.
There is nothing here to fix — only something to remember. 🜃
