About

Welcome

Hello! I'm Carly and I'm so glad you've found your way here.

​​

It's been a long meandering journey to find my way back home. To animals. To writing. To who I always was beneath it all. 

​

I spent nearly a decade working with women in the wild. Yoga, circles, hiking, swimming, resting, singing, dancing and story telling.

​

And then the initiation of ​birth and mothering and I I felt an unerring impulse to change what I was doing but had absolutely no idea what lay ahead.

​

I dropped into trust and was led home to animals and writing, the first loves of my childhood. ​

​

And yet still I find myself working with women.

​

This time with ancient crafts in our hands to soothe our souls and lift our hearts.
 

I began spinning as a way of processing the fleeces we produce every year but continued as a way of processing my mind and emotions.

 

Spinning, knitting, felting and rug making became the place my hands went to in the quiet moments.

​

Turning pasture and water into yarn. Shifting anxiety and rumination into peace and creation.

​

Over time I've found something very special happens when we gather together as women to spin yarn as we have for thousands of years.

​​​

So today, alongside home educating my daughter we have have a small little fibre herd of llamas and alpacas and offer spinning and fibre crafts workshops with their beautiful fleeces.​

Rewilding Women

​​

In my decade of working with women in nature and natural settings, I have come to see the many ways that our modern world and our enculturated captivity affect our capacity to thrive.  

​

We are born wild and gradually accept the limitations of our domestication until our wilder heritage is known to us.

 

Many of us spend a lifetime suffering as a consequence without knowing why. 

​

Some of us lose the capacity to cope with the modern world along the way.

 

At the time it feels like breaking but we soon realise that it is in fact breaking free. 

​

 These pivotal moments connect us back to our hearts and our wilder heritage.

​

We catch the scent of home and long to return.

​

We have awakened to the culturally imposed bars on our windows and this cannot be undone. 

​

​We are the women breaking free of captivity.​​
