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

​

I spent a decade facilitating circles of women in nature and a further two as an alpaca shepherdess. I began spinning as a way of processing the alpaca fleeces we produced and continued as a way of processing my mind and emotions and I've found something very special happens when we gather together as women to spin yarn as we have for thousands of years. 

​

These days I spend much of my time unschooling my daughter, writing when the moment and the time collide (which isn't often!) and offer spinning workshops in my home and at chosen locations.

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 unknown to us.

 

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

​

Some of us lose the capacity to cope with the modern world somewhere 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.​​
