Welcome

Hi I’m Raye, a senior Yoga Alliance accredited Yoga and Meditation teacher and Shamanic Healing Practitioner, currently living on a river boat. I travel around in a camper van called Kali to help people Meditate with more ease (as most people think they can’t do it!), was adopted by a stray cat whom is now called Tara and I write Poems and Blogs on the Magickal, Mystical and Mundane aspects of life.

I hope through my musings and offerings to awaken your Spirit, to encourage you to rest more in the Present moment, connect you more deeply with your own Heart, invite your own inner muse to express itself fearlessly, to inspire revelation and connect you with a growing community of like-minded Souls through no nonsense Spiritual and Magickal practices, Retreats, Workshops, Poetry and Storytelling Events.

Whats On..

Join me, as part of The Silent Revolution, for Heart Words Meditation practice and discussion, mostly Monday nights, 7.30pm on zoom. I’ll help you to Meditate with Confidence.

You’ll create personal Mantra (Mantra means “to protect the mind”) through Self Enquiry which you’ll use to help anchor you in the Present moment. Clear stress from your nervous system and experience more Joy. No previous experience necessary. Register here.

Next Meditation Cafe is Monday 29th April 7.30pm.

Saturday Night @ The OM is becoming a regular thing! These events run every 6-8 weeks. Each event I compere and invite a headliner and support act to join me in exploring a specific theme.

Nibbles and refreshments in the break, created by Debbie OM, go down a treat! The next event is tbc.

Poems & Blogs

I invite you to have fun exploring my content by exploring the tag cloud at the bottom of this page to find previous blogs and poems that might interest and inspire you.

The featured one above, Dancing In-between the I’s, has had two standing ovations to date as a spoken word piece and is very revealing of my history, the struggles with anxiety, sensory overwhelm and panic attacks that led me to practice and then teach Yoga and Meditation.

The most requested poem at open mics has been God and Cheese. Most laughs.. Ode to Jeremy Clarkson and Divorcee’s Shame.

I love writing in rhyme and found I have a knack for Tarot in Rhyme readings! If you’d like a personal reading or if you’d like me to write a bespoke poem for you, a loved one, or for any occasion, please contact me.

Please take a moment to press the “like” button and share in the comments if you enjoy, can relate to or are inspired by any poems or blogs. It all helps.

I look forward to connecting with you through words, in the Silence (if you join me in The Silent Revolution) and maybe in person through my offerings and Poetry events.

BLESSED BE

Offerings

Many people ask me if I’m actually a Witch and my answer is usually, “It depends on what your definition of a Witch is!” Before the word “Witch” got a bad name, Magickal practitioners of all sorts were revered in many cultures all over the world. Witch is interchangeable for Wise Woman/Man. We were known… Continue reading Offerings

What you love/like the most about classes:

The three classes are different. Each session starts with a Heart meditation which I now do every day. I particularly like Mondays as we journal and do muscle activation.

Any changes you’ve noticed in your body or mind:

My body is getting stronger and I am getting more confident in the poses. I am more aware of what is going on in my mind.

Any revelations:

I thought I needed to be able to see the teacher but Raye is very good at explaining what you should be doing and I am finding I don’t need to see her. It is certainly helping me to be aware of my posture.

Note: I (Raye) am visible on zoom should you need to look).

Why you would recommend people to join us:

Raye is an amazing teacher and incorporates so much wisdom into the classes.

What do you love/like the most about classes:

The time I absolutely love. The 7 – 8 am starts my day off perfect. I love the weave of inner work, flow, strength and your smile that lights the screen. My body feels alive and ready to take on the day.

Any changes you’ve noticed in your body/mind:

Strength, flexibility with focus and a spring in my step!

Any revelations: I HAVE SOOOO MISSED YOUR FLOW!!!

Why would you recommend people to join us:

You were my first yoga teacher to take me under your wing on a damp winter’s eve many years ago. I was a complete novice but with your outstanding teaching, you gave me confidence and the wings to explore the wonders of our body’s strength and the inner selfSo for anyone out there wanting to grow with their yoga practice then these online classes will be right up your street. Take the plunge you won’t regret.
