Innate Wisdom Circle:
Autumn Season

Three candlelit evenings at CloudZen Studio in Margate, one a month from October to December. Each evening stands on its own, but they’re built to follow on from each other, so I’d love you to come to all three.

Where: CloudZen Studio, 92 Grosvenor Place, Margate, CT9 1UY 
When: Wednesdays 14 October, 11 November and 9 December, 7pm to 9pm 
Places: 14 at most. Pre-booking essential. 
Included: Handouts and a workbook every session.

How an evening runs

The studio is lit by candles and a real fire, and scented for that month’s work. There’s herbal tea all evening.

We start with a short welcome and some movement to get you out of your head and into the room. Then the main practice for the month, a few minutes with a journal or sketchbook, and Threshold Circle, where you can speak, be heard, or simply sit and listen. You can pass whenever you like. We finish with restorative yoga or guided relaxation.

You’ll take things home each month (balms, tea blends, a workbook) so the practice carries on between sessions. There’s also a full-day immersion each season if you want to go further.

October: Gratitude

Wednesday 14 October

A gentle start. Grounding movement building into a heart-opening flow, with rose, cardamom and frankincense in the room. Then a long reclined gratitude practice, moving slowly through body, mind and spirit.

Gratitude is one of the few states reliably shown to move the nervous system out of threat and into rest, which is why we begin here rather than with anything that asks you to let go of much. Journal or sketch, then our first Threshold Circle, kept light: a single word is plenty. We close with self-massage and a balm to take home, plus a gratitude tea blend.

November: Reclaiming Your Essential Self

Wednesday 11 November

By now the group knows each other, so we go deeper. Neroli, cedarwood and spikenard, chosen for self-love and boundary work. The practice is an old one, passed down and refined through generations of women, for finding the ties that still hold you to particular people, outcomes or an earlier version of yourself, and consciously cutting them.

Most of the work is at the sacral centre, with shorter passes at the heart and solar plexus. Free journalling or mark-making leads into Threshold Circle, with tulsi, lavender and rose tea, then restorative poses. After that kind of release you need to lie still for a while.

December: The Fire Ritual

Wednesday 9 December

Close to the solstice, and the close of the season. We open standing, in Goddess and Warrior poses, and this month the palo santo, frankincense and myrrh are burned rather than diffused. A cauldron of candles sits in the centre of the circle. On parchment you write down what this year, and the older inherited stories of self-doubt underneath it, asked you to put down.

Then you carry it to the flame yourself and watch it go, with the circle as witness. No need to reframe anything or decide what comes next.

Threshold Circle closes the season with the old elements chant (earth my body, water my blood, air my breath, fire my spirit), then restorative poses. You’ll leave with a Burning Ritual Pack for home: three white candles, a release prayer, your own parchment, and an incense resin and herb blend.

Wednesdays, 7pm to 9pm.
