I attended Clare’s Mindful Self-Compassion sessions and they were truly special. WIth a subtle blend of poetry, humour and mindful guidance, I felt able to reconnect with a sense of peace in a safe and loving space. The power of meeting with others to let go of old habits and loosen attachment to identity, to flow with the process of reinvention naturally, is a rare treat. Clare works with clarity and holds the space for exploration. She has a fresh and grounded perspective and her connection with nature is compelling. I was reminded of the fruits of a weekly practise, supporting motivation to develop mindful practices and improve interactions. Time well spent.

The weather was a little challenging however I am very glad I pushed through. Clare’s gentle direction and the group support enabled me to feel very connected and alive in the woodlands this morning.

It was a real pleasure to have met Clare yesterday and to be introduced to such a nourishing practice. I felt totally comforted easing into the guided walk and was brought more fully into the present moment with each passing moment. Despite having given meditation a good go for sometime previously, and having a keen interest in Mindfulness, I was pleasantly surprised with how fresh the exercises were to me and just how accessible each one was.

I also became increasingly more compassionate towards myself the further into the walk I went and it was just the type of healing I was searching for at that time. Coming into it feeling fairly fragile I was rewarded with leaving with a bit more of an inner strength and gratitude for the day. I would be very glad to be a part of this practice again in the next available one.

I felt my inner critic was preventing me from being in the moment and enjoying the practice at first. Clare helped me by naming the inner critic which meant I was able to acknowledge those inner thoughts and put them to one side and move on with the practice.

Lovely experience with Clare from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it- so insightful!

It was an incredible experience.  Being in a place that’s so familiar to me yet it feels so new because we were paying a lot of attention, moving slowly and mindfully through the woods. It was also a  lovely group of people, well held by Clare. A beautiful chance to deeply explore the woodland, highly recommended!
