A Year Of Spiritual Connection
“"For me the door to the woods is the door to the temple." – Mary Oliver
A cyclical journey through the seasons to explore, deepen, and embody your unique way of connecting to spirituality guided by nature’s wisdom, your intuition, channeled teachings, and the shared presence of community.
"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Mirroring the cycle of the seasons, this year long group + 1:1 journey will fertilise your inner landscape and deepen the relationship with your inherent spiritual nature.
Alongside a supportive community you will end the year with a sense of clarity and connection to yourself as both a human and universal being.
This is a year of soothing and tending to whatever is in the way of you truly embodying that knowing. It will equip you with the tools and practices to attune to source, support you to trust in your own inner guidance, and enable you to begin healing lifelong fears, patterns and beliefs.
Connection to self, to others, to nature, to spirit is what we all long for - and this is exactly what this year will provide you with.
“This year-long container gave me the space and structure to listen deeply: to my inner world, to nature, and to what wants to emerge. I found clarity, creative inspiration and a deeper sense of connection that feels like it will stay with me forever.”

“You may be at a crossroads in life, be in receipt of an invitation for a bolder you, or feel a call to do something new. In any case, this year will help you to take space to reflect on your life as it is. It will equip you with practical skills to navigate the inevitable internal and external challenges as they arise, and provide you with community that will support and reflect back to you in a way that will open you up and enable you to expand further than you thought possible.”

Gathering near Hampstead Heath in London and at Wakelyns Farm in Suffolk we will:
SEED Spring: Planting Possibility
As the earth begins to stir, this season guides you to awaken your spiritual life from the inside out. Through practices that attune you to the subtle nature of awareness, you’ll learn to listen deeply, begin to sense what is guiding you, and lay down the foundational roots of your journey.

“This year feels like a key that has unlocked my creative spirit. The mix of group gatherings, one-to-one sessions, and guided practices has helped me move beyond old blocks and into a deeper relationship with my intuition. Through the rhythm of the seasons, I’ve learned to trust my creative flow and to see my work as an expression of my spiritual connection. Halfway through the year, I already feel more grounded, open, and aligned and the right outcomes are unfolding right in front of me.”

"When we gather together, we practice opening up the confines of our separate self and become an interconnected body of love and understanding. We and our brothers and sisters are one."
— Thich Nhat Hanh
We will work as a group and 1:1
Group work will connect you with a community for life that will inspire and support you as you walk this path together. By nurturing your relationship with like-minded individuals whilst being held by nature, the stronger, more enriched, nourished and interconnected you will feel.
Individual 1:1 work with me will give you the space to go inwards and do some lifelong healing. We will unearth, care for and completely transform deep-rooted fears, patterns and stories. By unblocking, and thus releasing, attachments to our limiting beliefs, you will find a deep trust in your relationship with your universal, spirit nature. In the 1:1 sessions you will also receive direct, channeled guidance from Laurie to support you in opening up to trust fully in this lifelong journey.
My intention through this time is to hold you and the community in deep, divine love, presence and wholeness. Meeting the fullness of you, we will meet your connection with spirit, give it shape and witness you become the most expansive version of you. The seasons will act as our anchor and our source. Your connection with it will deepen through your commitment to the practices and your devotion to the process.
“This year is a gentle yet powerful journey of deep connection. It offers space to truly listen to yourself, to nature, and to what’s pulling you forward in life. Guided with such care from Laurie, it invites reflection, practices, and ritual that help you meet yourself with so much more presence and trust. The support of the group becomes a mirror, reminding you of your own wisdom as you build even more compassion for others. It opens pathways to connection you didn’t know were possible.”

Nature is our guide as we start and end on the spring equinox. We will mirror the seasonal cycles as we seed, land, tend, nurture and bloom. The year includes:
4 x weekend (2 day) spring, summer, autumn and winter in person gatherings in London
12 x 75 minute monthly individual online 1:1 sessions on zoom
A 2 night, 2 day in person final spring retreat in Suffolk

Unlimited support available throughout the year over email from Laurie
WhatsApp group for shared resources, inspirational reminders and peer support
“Working with Laurie was like opening a Russian doll - layer after layer revealing something deeper, more raw, and more real. What began as a search for direction and purpose turned into an unexpected journey inward. I thought I was going to figure out what to do with my life, but instead, I discovered how to be with myself. Laurie is an extraordinary guide. Her presence is powerful yet gentle, and the way she holds space in group sessions is truly magical. In her circles, you witness the depth of human emotion without judgment - you see people’s love, pain, and truth, and in doing so, begin to see your own. She cultivates an atmosphere of profound safety, where transformation naturally unfolds. The course didn’t hand me answers. It invited me to see the uncomfortable truths I often avoided. With Laurie’s guidance, I began to recognise my inner blocks not as flaws but as places asking for love, care, and compassion. I stopped searching outside and started creating space within - a space of rhythm, self-kindness, and greater alignment with life’s seasons. This journey was not easy, but it was exactly what I needed. I’m walking away with a deeper understanding of who I am. I am deeply grateful to Laurie for her wisdom, her intuition, and the beautiful space she creates for others to come home to themselves.”

The structure
Where and when
London venue: Highgate Society and Omved Gardens
For our London gatherings we will meet around Hampstead Heath. This will be the land on which we roam and connect to through ritual and ceremony as we watch your visions grow and take form. For the cooler months, we will make use of the Highgate Society or Omved Gardens as our base. Both are private spaces, very close to the Heath, with a number of cafes and shops within easy walking distance. More info on the venues here and here
Suffolk venue: Wakelyns Agroforestry farm
For the final spring weekend together we will stay in the farm’s 16th Century, Grade II listed building - a classic Suffolk longhouse arranged over three floors, with the oldest part of the house dating back around 500 years. Each shared, twin room is beautifully arranged with its own bathroom. We will be nourished with breakfast, lunch and dinner with food from land and nearby. You will see the food growing in the crop and tree alleys and observe it turned from seed to soil to kitchen to plate. The farm itself is set in 23 hectares of land and is surrounded by the wild countryside of Suffolk. We will spend much time outside on the land and perhaps even take a dip in the nearby sea. You can read more about the farm here
“I’ve done personal growth work before, but this feels very different. The seasonal rhythm, the practices, the deep inner work - everything felt aligned with who I am. I learned how to hold my fears, tend my desires, and really plant seeds for the life I am truly here to live.”

FAQs
Is this for me? It’s for you if you long to slow down and listen more deeply to yourself and the natural world. If you feel the calling to explore your spirituality in a way that feels authentic, embodied, and grounded as you reconnect with your creativity, intuition, and inner guidance - all the while supported by a community of like-minded souls walking a similar path. If you desire to find sacredness in the everyday - in the changing seasons, in rest, in growth, in being, then this is for you. You might be at a threshold, maybe sensing that something within you is ready to awaken, or that your connection to life wants to feel more meaningful and alive. This journey offers a gentle structure and a circle of support to help you discover your own way of communing with spirit through practices, rituals, and reflections that honour both your individuality and your universal nature.
Can you share the core philosophy? At the heart of this year is the belief that spirituality is not something to seek outside ourselves, but something we return to - a remembering of our natural belonging to the earth, to one another and ultimately to our own, inherent wisdom. This year invites you to explore spirituality as a lived, embodied practice. Through communion with the cycles of nature, you begin to see that your own rhythms of growth, rest, creativity, and transformation mirror the rhythms of the world around you. Rather than offering a single path, this journey encourages you to find your own way of connecting to spirit - be that through communion with nature, in creative expression, meditation, ritual, or the simple but entirely profound act of listening.
How many people will be joining? Places are limited. I am only opening this up to 10 people so we form a deliberately intimate group. If you have been called to this section of the page, I attest that you are more than likely meant to be here. Much of my guidance, as you will experience, is not to question where spirit takes us. I myself have learnt to trust who comes my way - everyone with their own divine teaching to share. You will know if this is right for you, I simply ask you to trust that pull.
Do I have to commit to the whole year? Yes. For the coherence of the group and for you to realise your vision and get the most out of this journey, It requires your commitment. When you break down what you are required to attend, it may feel more digestible: 4 x in person London gatherings, 12 x online 1:1 sessions and a 1 x 2 day Suffolk retreat. If you want to join but there are dates that you already know you can’t do, please reach out.
Will there be support in between the sessions? Absolutely. I will be available as and when you need for questions, advice and support. The 1:1 sessions will give us time for this specifically but if there is more you need beyond this, I would always encourage you to reach out. There will also be a dedicated whatsapp group for the year in which we can share things that are inspiring us, reflections on moments in the year and a place to land and be held by the group as you need. More than anything, I want for this to be a deeply impactful and transformative year for you - so whatever I can do to support that, I’m here.
Is there an age minimum? 21+ this is suitable for anyone who has enough life experience and a desire to commit to their spiritual path.
What happens at the end of the year? As the year completes its cycle, you arrive not at an ending, but at a deepened way of being. The final season and retreat invites you to embody all that you’ve discovered: the practices, insights, and connections that have become part of your spiritual life. You’ll be guided to reflect on your journey, honour your growth, and celebrate how your relationship with spirit, self, and nature has evolved. Through ceremony and shared community, you’ll integrate what you’ve learned into your everyday life carrying forward a living, breathing spiritual practice that continues to unfold long after the year ends. You can of course continue to work with me further should this feel of support on your journey.
I can’t pay all the money upfront, are there payment plans available? Absolutely. A deposit will be required upon signing up to secure your place but the remainder of the payment can be scheduled to land in batches across the year. Please don’t let finances be a barrier.
