Settling In, Slowing Down & Finding Our Rhythm

Wow… what a week it has been!

After all of thr planning, dreaming, manifesting, carrying boxes, building furniture, building shelving, updating websites and wondering if there would ever be an end to the endless to-do list, (there isn’t..!) The Goddess Haven has officially opened its doors inside The Conscious Breath, Kingswood.

And what a beautiful first week it has been! We’ve welcomed visitors into the new space, shared conversations over crystals and candles, held our first Friday Wind Down, gathered for Weekend Witchery, and most importantly, we’ve begun to breathe our energy into the space itself.

The room has been cleansed, awakened and blessed with the combined energy of the beautiful weekend witchery group.

The altar is in place, the shelves are full, the treatment room is welcoming clients, and slowly but surely, The Goddess Haven is becoming exactly what it was always meant to be, a place of connection, healing, learning, and community.

We have so much gratitude for the opportunity we have been given, a special thank you to Dean for allowing us to share his space, if you haven’t had chance yet, please do check out his website for some of the incredible offerings running alongside ours: https://www.theconsciousbreath.co.uk

June Has Arrived! (even if it doesn’t feel like it right now)

Although I can’t speak for the entire country, here in Bristol we’re currently enjoying what can only be described as “slightly wetter and windier than ideal June.” Crazy, seeing as just a week earlier saw the hottest temperatures of the year!

But the rain has certainly been making an appearance, yet, even through the grey skies, something is changing… The days are noticeably longer. The mornings arrive earlier, the evenings linger a little longer, the gardens are bursting into life, the trees are fuller and the birds are busy.

Summer is quietly approaching whether we’re ready or not.

There is a lesson in that, growth doesn’t always arrive beneath blue skies and bright sunshine, sometimes growth happens during rainy weeks too, sometimes we need to water the soil to allow the growth to fully bloom.

This Week’s Moon Journey

Sunday & Monday – Waning Moon in Aquarius Moving into Pisces

The week begins with reflection. Aquarius encourages us to step back and look at the bigger picture.

What have you learned recently?

What has changed?

What deserves your attention moving forward?

And then, as the moon moves into Pisces, things begin to soften.

Pisces invites us to listen rather than push.

To dream rather than plan.

To feel rather than analyse.

Aquarius to Pisces Ritual

Make yourself a warm drink.

Light a candle.

Write down three things you have learned about yourself over the past month.

Then write down one thing you would like to understand more deeply.

Place the paper beneath a crystal, book, or meaningful object overnight and allow your subconscious to continue working with it.

Wednesday – Moon in Aries

After the dreamy waters of Pisces comes a spark.

Aries doesn’t like waiting forever, at some point, reflection must become action.

Not huge action, not life-changing action. Just the next step.

The email.

The booking.

The conversation.

The first page.

The first attempt.

Aries Ritual

Write down one thing you’ve been putting off.

Set a timer for ten minutes.

Start… Not finish… Start.

That’s all Aries asks of you.

Friday & Saturday – Moon in Taurus

As we move towards the weekend, Taurus reminds us to slow down and enjoy what we’ve created.

Taurus understands that growth is not just about striving, it is also about receiving, appreciating, enjoying and resting.

Taurus Ritual

Prepare your favourite drink.

Wrap yourself in a blanket.

Step away from your phone for fifteen minutes.

Ask yourself:

“What in my life is already beautiful?”

Sit with the answer.

Spotlight This Week – Sunday Pages – A Gentle Weekly Hour of Reflection & Reset

One of the things I’m most excited about this week is the beginning of Sunday Pages Journaling Group in its new home! Everything feels a little more intentional.

Tonight’s session is a completely free taster and offers a gentle introduction to a variety of journaling approaches designed to support self-awareness, reflection, healing, and personal growth.

You’ll be free to explore:

🌙 Weekly release and call-in prompts

🌙 Moon phase reflections

🌙 Sabbat and seasonal themes

🌙 Dialogue writing

🌙 Unsent letters

🌙 Therapeutic lists

🌙 Guided reflective exercises

Everything is provided, including prompt sheets and guidance, making it accessible whether you’re completely new to journaling or have been filling notebooks for years.

You don’t need to be a writer, you don’t need perfect handwriting, you don’t even need to know what to write, you simply need a willingness to listen to yourself.

Immediately afterwards, we’ll be moving into our Simply Sound Sound Bath, offering a beautiful opportunity to reflect, release, and then settle into deep relaxation.

A Grounded Reflection

This week I’ve found myself thinking about how much emphasis we place on big moments.

The launch. The opening. The achievement. The milestone… But often it’s the quieter moments that truly matter.

The first cup of tea in a new space. The first person through the door (Thank you Eloise!)

The first conversation. The first shared laugh. The first moment where everything begins to feel real.

As we move through this waning phase and towards the next cycle, perhaps that’s something worth considering. 

What small moment deserves your appreciation this week?

Weekly Intention

“I honour how far I have come. I trust where I am going. I allow myself to grow at my own pace.”

Wishing you a beautiful week ahead.

Until next week,

With love,

Marie
