SUMMARY:Cauldron of Illuminations ~ for neurodivergent women
DESCRIPTION:Soul reclaiming work for  ASD\, ADHD & AuDHD Women 				\n				\n				\n				\n					A Journey of Soul Work with a small circle of sisters - starting at the Autumn equinox\, spiralling through the Winter illuminations\, and out the other side into the Spring equinox. \nDesigned specifically for women who are either Autistic\, ADHD or AuDhd\, who are wanting to live a neurodivergent spiritually aligned and empowered life. 				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					An animistic future/ancient sacred appraoch to neurodiversity				\n				\n				\n				\n									If we go back beyond our modern society’s constructs (and still true in indigenous cultures today) of neurodivergent people were not seen as a ‘malfunction’ or wrongly wired. They were in fact often the musicians\, the shamans\, the healers\, the seers\, the visionaries. The ones who questioned the norm and felt things at a deep level. They were the one’s who kept the collective consciousness of the tribe awake\, aligned and in harmony. They were and are naturally more connected to the sacred\, to spirit. They were respected and valued and equal in community and society. I also believe that the neurodivergent people were the one’s who naturally have a strong connection to that which exists beyond the ‘normal world’. An ability to experience\, sense and connect with spirit directly. Many psychics\, seers\, healers and clairvoyants were and are neurodivergent. At some point along the way it was decreed by the ‘great leaders of our modern world’  that in order to best create an effective workforce and control the masses they decided there was a particular way we ‘should’ be as a human. If you did not fit into that then you would be labelled as ‘faulty’ or broken or less that and we know the story and how this has played out. And it is STILL playing out. “It is no measure of success to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”Jiddu Krishnamurti.Just like the vast and wide diversity of the natural world\, humans are also naturally widely diverse and this is the way it is meant to be. I do not believe that it is neurodivergent people that are broken\, or malfunctioning\, far from it. I believe it is our modern societies and systems that are malfunctioning and broken\, and the remedy it to change our societies and systems rather than ask the neurodivergent people to adapt or put up with it. The systems need to change. In nature each animal or plant lives in a specific type of environment that best suits its optimum chance of surviving and fully thriving. If you take that animal or plant out of its optimum environment and put it into an environment that’s not suited to its needs it will slowly find it more and more difficult to survive\, let alone thrive and it’s the same for humans. But we have set up our societies and ways of living that suits only certain types of people and rather than recognise that it’s the environment that is creating the struggles for those people\, we say the person is the problem and they should change to adapt. I believe that 90% of the struggles that neurodivergent people experience is because of this. We decide the animal is the problem rather than the environment they have been forced to change to and it’s the same with people. We say the person is the problem not the environment. This is in my view yet another example of the madness we currently exist within.  								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What is Cauldron of Illuminations about ?				\n				\n				\n				\n									Neurodivergent women need spaces where they can learn how to let their wings open and feel confident to live their true selves. This is powerful medicine on its own when neurodivergent women come together to support each other to do the same it becomes an alchemical cauldron of transformation. Our voices\, talents and gifts are needed in the world. This is what Cauldron of Illuminations is about. It is a space to heal the harms from before and to practice how to be our full unmasked selves. We have been silenced long enough ! On our own the silence is harder to change and our lives stay smaller than we want them to be. “I have seen over and over again the healing that happens when a circle of neurodivergent women come together and show up unmasked. It is quite something to experience; empowering\, healing\, inspiring and strengthening”The starting place for many women\, is often an experience of a thousand light bulbs switching on as you see clearly the whole thing. Then the experience of having someone listen and empathise brings tears of relief as your whole life suddenly make sense. Then comes the grief of all the missed opportunities. This pain runs deep and it needs to be integrated in order to be able to fully live our true soul self without apology and in total joy of who we are. If this is you\, or you are further along the path cauldron of illuminations\, this is a space that needs all of us. No two humans the same\, and this is also true for neurodivergent people. Listening with an open heart is the pathway to healing. Our journey is to get curious about ourselves and others so we can widen our lens of understanding and care.  								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Can you relate ?				\n				\n				\n				\n									\nHave you discovered you are a Neurodivergent woman and you’re trying to make sense of it all ?\nDo you find yourself wondering how on earth you could of not known your were neurodivergent your entire life when it seems so glaringly obvious now ?\nAre you exhausted from a lifetime of masking and pretending ?\nIs there deep grief\, anger and pain when you look back on your life\, and the opportunities missed because of not knowing ?\nDo you have an inner critic that tells you just to try harder to adapt ?\nHave you found that therapy never really quite hits the target somehow\, and you were left believing it was your fault ?\nHas your life in aspects been a struggle to ‘cope’\, with senses overwhelm\, regular burnout and your Neurodivergent needs not being met ?\nDo you carry a lifetime of hurt and trauma from being either misunderstood\, shamed\, mocked\, judged\, ostracised or made wrong ?\nDo you feel like your mind is often like a 10 lane motorway of thoughts ?\nWould you like help making sense of your childhood neurodivergence through shared shared experiences ?\n								\n				\n				\n				\n					Reclaiming and living our magnificent selves 				\n				\n				\n				\n									Would you like to feel genuine joy and celebration about being a neurodivergent woman ?Would you like to harness your gifts more and live them ?Would you like to receive more empathy and kindness with the difficulties you experience ?Would you value a space to feel your grief and to be supported in that ?Would you like to get a deeper/wider understanding of your neurodivergent self ?Would you like to get to a place were the good things totally out weigh the things that feel hard  ?Would you like friends who are also neurodivergent and get you ?Would you like to live a life unmasked and easeful ?Would you value a journey with a group of women who get you\, like really get you ?If several or more of these questions resonate with you\, this Cauldron of Illumination may hold deep gifts for your journey… 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									“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…”								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					The healing power of coming together 				\n				\n				\n				\n									The winter hearths journey is about liberating ourselves from the hurt of a lifetime of being misunderstood\, judged and shamed for being who we are. A lifetime of 10\,000 tiny rejections and judgements delivered in a myriad of ways\, both covert and overt\, over many decades starting in childhood. These hurts sit in our bodies\, hearts and minds.  There is deep healing in 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. This is a space for experiencing authentic\, genuine understanding and empathy for the struggles that have been\, and still can be challenging to navigate. We will gather as women and really see each other. Can you imagine being in a circle of women who delight in you and want to see your gifts lived? This is what can happen when we come together and it’s magical to witness. To see the healing unfold in each woman as she blossoms like a rose and lights up rooms with her unique essence. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									“..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…								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									\n				\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					My own Journey				\n				\n				\n				\n									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 through both my mother’s and my father’s lineage\, 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 struggled endlessly for decades\, in countless ways\, and it is only in the past 8 years that I have come to understand why some of how I am is due to what conventional mainstream society would call AuDHD. I fiercely rejected being labelled\, 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. THE CLINICAL LENS There is much on offer for autism and AuDHD in the mainstream through a clinical lens… the lens that sees us as broken and needing to be fixed and changed so that we can better ‘fit in’ and follow the rules of conventional society. We end up having to squash many aspects of ourselves 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 neurodiverse through the lens of a spiritual and soul based being\, and how to bring forth their gifts to the world\, and feel authentic and resourced in that.  I believe with a passion from over 30 years of work with women\, 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 recent years\, as I have been more vocal on social media about my own journey\, and with hundreds of requests from women who know my work\, there’s been a call 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\, please join me. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									“..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..”								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									\n				\n					\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					You do not need an official diagnosis to join !				\n				\n				\n				\n									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 is designed for women who are Autistic\, ADHD or Audhd (either diagnosed or self identified but\, know yourself enough to know) who already have some 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.  								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Journey offers…								\n				\n				\n				\n									A space to unmask and be your fabulous authentic full self with other kindred spiritsTime out of life to really focus on you and find ways to transform the old stories and old ways of being that no longer serveA space to feel the grief and be held in loving kindness Deep circle sharingNervous system regulation practices especially effective for neurodivergent women.Time in nature connecting to her wisdom and guidanceCrafting and activities to help the hands and brain relaxRitual and ceremony on the land and in the ceremonial EarthLodgeExploring and deepening the essence of our gifts through the lens of spirituality and sacred gifts Cauldron of shared ideas and practices in service to deepening our sacred gifts								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Logistics				\n				\n				\n				\n									Fees:£2\,000 standard £1\,800 low income £1\,600 Concession (limited availability\, book early) Payments plans are offered and if you opt for this full fees must be completed by the start date of the training.  Dates 2026 – 2027:Circle 1 – 16-18 October Circle 2 – 27-29 November Circle 3 – 8-10 January Circle 4 – 26-28 February Circle 5 – 8-11 April (nature immersion) To reserve a place:You pay a holding deposit of £295.
