Women of the New Earth™ invites you to

Gather Around the Fire

Lay down some of what you've been holding. Step back from the searching. Come and practise living more of what you already know, alongside women who know they were never meant to find all the answers alone.

Three live online evenings · 20–22 October 2026

Free to join · Gather with us at The Well

Perhaps you don't need another answer.

Perhaps you've already spent years getting to know yourself.

You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, practised yoga or meditation, journalled, received coaching or therapy, explored your patterns and learned to listen more closely to yourself.

You know the importance of rest, boundaries, self-trust and listening to your body.

And yet there can still be moments when everything you know feels much harder to live.

You may recognise yourself here:

  • You know you need to rest, but still override yourself.
  • You feel the boundary, then worry about disappointing someone.
  • You know what is true, then begin questioning yourself.
  • You understand the pattern, but still find yourself living it.
  • You feel connected to yourself alone, but lose that connection when relationship becomes difficult.

There comes a point when perhaps the next step isn't more inner work to understand ourselves. It is creating places where we can practise living what we already know.

And perhaps we were never meant to do all of that alone.

Three evenings around the fire

As we move deeper into autumn, we are opening The Well for three evenings of practice, conversation and connection.

There is something about this time of year that naturally invites us to draw closer, listen differently and consider what we are ready to stop carrying with us into the darker months.

Not another course to complete.

Not three evenings of sitting and taking notes.

A space to slow down, come back into relationship with yourself and experience what becomes possible when we practise alongside other women.

For three evenings of embodied and relational practice, held with warmth, curiosity and space to experience rather than simply take in more information.

Fire one · Tuesday 20 October

Return

Lay down what you've been holding.

We'll begin by stepping back from some of the searching, carrying and managing and returning our attention to the body, the heart and what is already here.

We'll explore the space between knowing ourselves and actually living what we know, and begin listening differently to the wisdom we already carry.

Can I hear myself?

You'll leave with

A felt sense of returning to yourself, and greater awareness of where you may have been overriding what you already know.

Fire two · Wednesday 21 October

Relate & express

Meet yourself in relationship.

Many of us can feel deeply connected to ourselves when we're alone, walking in nature, practising yoga, meditating or journalling.

And then another human being enters the picture.

This evening we'll explore what happens to our connection with ourselves when we are seen, misunderstood or emotionally activated, and experience some of the relational practices at the heart of Women of the New Earth.

We'll explore what it means to express something true while remaining connected to ourselves and to another.

Can I stay connected to myself while being connected to you?

You'll leave with

An experience of staying connected to yourself while being seen and heard by another woman.

Fire three · Thursday 22 October

Embody

Live what you already know.

The aim isn't to become women who never wobble, contract, become frightened or fall into an old pattern.

It's learning to recognise those moments and knowing where to return.

We'll bring the previous evenings together through embodied and relational practice, exploring how we can return to body, heart and presence and create more space between an old pattern and the way we choose to respond.

We'll explore what becomes possible when this begins to ripple into our relationships, work, creativity, leadership and the way we meet our lives.

Can I live what I know when life actually meets me?

You'll leave with

A simple embodied experience of recognising activation and returning to greater presence and choice.

This gathering may be for you if...

  • You've already done a significant amount of inner work and sense there is another layer asking to be lived.
  • You want to trust what you feel and know without continually questioning yourself.
  • You want to stay connected to yourself in relationship, even when something difficult arises.
  • You want to express your needs, boundaries, feelings and desires with greater honesty.
  • You're tired of carrying and working everything out alone.

You don't need to arrive having figured anything out.

You simply need to be willing to come as you are.

What if the next part of our inner work happens together?

Many of us have spent years doing our inner work alone.

We've learned to understand ourselves, recognise our patterns and find our way back to centre.

But relationship can reveal things we cannot always see when we're alone.

Gather Around the Fire is an invitation to experience another way of practising. Not by fixing one another or finding more answers, but by learning to remain connected to ourselves while being seen, heard and supported by other women.

None of us is here because we have perfected this.

We are women practising it.

We came to this work through different paths, and between us through years of personal, professional, spiritual and embodied practice.

Yet some of our deepest learning has not come from finding another answer. It has come through what relationship has revealed to us, and through learning to practise another way together.

The work we share inside Women of the New Earth has grown from this lived exploration of what it means to return to ourselves, remain connected in relationship and bring more of what we know into how we actually live.

We're not teaching you how to become women who never wobble.
We're practising another way of meeting the wobble.

Returning to herself

Working with Lorna and Katherine has really settled me in a way that was completely unexpected. My sense of gravity has changed from my head, all the way down to my heart.

Finding another way in relationship

I notice the shift instantly when I enter this space. Sometimes I arrive nervous or tired, but when we are all together, it transforms into joy, presence and energy. I feel my heart again.

Serena

Practising what she knows

I always feel safe, heard and accepted with Lorna and Katherine. Every time I spend time with them, I leave with a deeper understanding of myself and a greater sense of trust in my own path.
