I am spending my first Christmas out of England in a long time. My partner and I are going away to Geneva for the festive period, and I can’t wait. I am so excited to experience a different culture, to take in the sights, and to truly spend quality time with Matt. This is our first Christmas together and to spend it out of the country, creating our own traditions as a couple based on both of our cultures is really exciting to me. This is my focus this year for Christmas. Generally I don’t teach throughout December, so I can soak up every moment of quality time I get with my family and friends. After working ridiculous hours for so many Christmases before, this is now my priority. Rather than giving gifts this year, I am gifting things that mean we have to spend time with each other. My family are all older now and we all have our separate lives, often spread across Europe. It’s hard for us all to get together, as we have our own commitments. I want to create that time, through the gifts I give. I am valuing that more and more the older I get. I hope I take this into the New Year, with a New Years resolution of creating connection with my family more, whether that’s a text, a call or a visit. Regardless of what it is you get this year, if you are lucky enough to be able to spend quality time with partners, family or friends, know that this is the true gift, the one that we so often take for granted all the rest of the year round.
If you want to give the gift of time to a loved one this Christmas – time to themselves, time to rest and time to discover – then why not get them a voucher for one of my offerings. I am giving out gift vouchers for 6 week class blocks, events & workshops (such as ‘A Date With Your Soul’ in collaboration with Parties by MJS on 18th February), private classes or coaching. You could even give a voucher for the deposit for our April retreat! If you want to give a personal gift but aren’t sure where to begin, please feel free to contact me and I can help advise.
Our December Moon Bath for the Winter Solstice is sold out, however we are holding another to open the New Year on Thursday 5th of January. If you wish to attend and kick start the New Year the way you mean to go on then reach out to book.
The first 6 week class block in the New Year will kick off week commencing 9th January, with beginners on Monday’s and General Level of Wednesday’s at Saints Green Place. For more info visit the classes page of my site.
And finally, if you haven’t already seen, my mum Sam (from Elysium Holistic Therapy) and I have launched our very first abroad retreat – the ‘Listen’ Retreat in Andalucia this April. Birthed from our own journey of listening to the whispers of their heart, this retreat will be a beautiful mother/daughter collaboration that you won’t want to miss. We are so passionate about it that there is an entire page dedicated to it on my site, giving you all the information you need. For anything else, get in contact.
This is my last post of the year until 2023, so it’s with that I wish you the most healthy, happy and fun filled Merry Christmas. I can’t wait to serve you in the New Year.
Om Shanti,
Ciara X
