Hey beautiful humans,
I’ve just been for a bike ride on May 17th with the @gazasunbirds in mind and people all over the world riding for #gaza and the #bigride4palestine this weekend.
Last year I rode the 107 mile Dartmoor Classic Grande with my two beautiful friends to raise money and awareness for #gazasunbirds today I rode in thought, reflection and individual yet connected solidarity with all beings.
Cycling shows me time and time again, we are all connected and so much stronger than we think we are.
This work in peace and solidarity is never about division, hate marches or othering it is about freedom to live a safe and dignified life , the right which we all have regardless of our lottery of birth.
By way of recognising the incredible work and inspiration of Gaza Sunbirds , if you buy my collection ‘Fuck It, Pass The Salt…Please’ from me in my shop through my linktree over the next 2 weeks, all proceeds will go to Gaza Sunbirds.
The collection is a funny, fierce and transformative collection of poetically turning trauma into muscle…💪😘🌊
Big loves

Ps. Big up to Klabu for all they do and their amazing kit .

This month we spent time connecting to and exploring our amazing matrescent bodies and the stories, colours, images, experiences held within. We created a gallery of amazing m/others, bathed in sound and took time for ourselves and our amazing bodies. The babes had a lovely time too.

Final session last Friday in March 1-3pm at Exeter Phoenix
Hello lovely people,
I’m not ‘not’ saying anything about the current state of the world fuckery, believe me, I’m in deep processing (poems to follow) but I am also staying creatively strong for women in different forms of activism. One of those ways is do further yoga teacher training to support women and people (believe it or not ALL women and people who live on the planet with female reproductive gear) with the joy, selfconnectionawesomeness of yoga at such a transformative stage of life (over about 15 years 😜).
I’m doing a glorious course in ‘Yoga for Menopause’ with @yinstinctyoga and this is my submission for this weeks homework explaining in an accessible way the 3/4 stages of menopause.
I’m absolutely looking forward to weaving all my learning into my Tending the Glow #yoga and #soundbath sessions at @the_hands_on_retreat
Big creative healing joy filled love to you all
Ceri xxxx
P.S oh and of course hooooooj thanks to @4nonblondes for this absolute gem of a song🫶🫶🫶🫶 I hope you appreciate the parody😍

Hello lovely people,
I’m just posting this collection of illustrations I’ve made over the last six weeks to support my ‘Tending the Glow’ yoga practice @the_hands_on_retreat as we head into half term.
And as we move in Februarys constantly raining ick there are snowdrop signs and lighter evenings to hold onto.
Spring is coming, and it will be glorious.
Thanks to @bookbag.shop for sharing my poem ‘Farmers Know’ and reminding me 😍
Big loves, Ceri xxxx

A photo bloom of a beautiful weekend giving myself the gift of creative process to process the shiz out of the shifts.
Starting with a supremely gorgeous collaboration with @lizzyhumber@exeterphoenix doing #yoga and #creativejournalling I then had a day to myself to be in full #perimenopause creative processing up on #dartmoor having finished reading the incredible memoir by @coryrichards 🙏 fuck that’s been a journey, highly recommended and a very dog eared book I will revisit for years .
And I’ve been preparing for my Monday yoga practice with my lovely ‘Tending the glow’ group at @the_hands_on_retreat
Trust in something glowy and bigger than you can see.
Big loves

What a way to end the month! It was such a pleasure to collaborate with @ceribakerflow bringing yoga and journalling together to support m/others, introducing a practice of rest and space making. Our theme was landing. January has been a long, dark month.
“I am allowed to arrive as I am”
Releasing the outer world and the contact pull of responsibility. Emptying and grounding, ready to receive. - Ceri

Last week I had a gorgeous weekend visiting an unnamed woman I happen to look a lot like. She took me to one of her favourite places, a tiny hidden church which shall also remain nameless. A quiet place for those who seek and create their own service, remembrance and reverence .
The word ‘visitor’ was in my mind, as a prompt from a creative sourcer/or …And this poem emerged.
Oh and I’m so glad I leave so much stuff in my car, definitely worth driving sound healing equipment around ….just incase 💫😘👌💫
Sound healing comes in all kinds of contexts, shapes, sizes. We are vibrational beings. I’m learning so much about what it does and might look like. I certainly hadn’t thought it looked like ‘Meatloaf’…💫🤗
