Welcome to the Dare to Blossom Newsletter
Hello dear friends - it has been suggested that the next Compass Rose Programme should come right at the top here so you do not need to hunt for it.... rather than me rather apologetically placing promotional information at the end, so here goes.The first taster session is very soon, Wednesday 2nd July, simply reply to this email for the Zoom link.
Summer Programme: 'Coming Home to Yourself'
Reflections: Meditation
Coming up: Autumn Programme 'True Essence'
Ten Years of Magic Carpet Rides Circle: Monday 30th June
Summer Programme: 'Coming Home to Yourself'
What does ‘Coming home to yourself’ mean for you?
When I first heard those words, many years ago now, I felt tearful. I realised I had no idea where ‘myself’ might be let alone how to find my way home there. Over the years I have connected with many people who have helped me along the way, some of whom would have had no idea what that help meant for me.
This is really the essence of all of the processes I offer to you if you purchase the Dare to Blossom Rediscovery cards or my books, especially the most recent Your Compass Rose Speaks: Rediscover Your Inner Wisdom. We are simply walking home together.
And why would you invest your time and money in joining me in this special group?
- Together, we share laughter, tears, insights.
- Together, we offer support to each other.
- Together, we witness each other in a safe, non-judgmental space.
- Together, there is so much magic created in the gaps between the structure and processes I offer.
- Walking alongside each other, we can step through into 'what next', however that looks for each of us, will you join me?
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss how to make it work for you in this time of stretched finances, please do contact me, and/or come along to one of the taster circles, details below.
The programme will run from the week beginning Monday 14th July through to Friday 22nd August, with the live Zoom gatherings on Wednesdays at 11.00 am UK time. If you miss any, or would like to listen again, you will have private access to the recording.
There will be taster circles on Wednesday 2nd and Wednesday 9th July at 11.00 am. You can book via the links (which take you to Facebook), or contact me here.
The fee for the full six weeks is £175, with a discount for those who have attended previous paid programmes. Simply contact me to pay by bank transfer, if you are in the UK, or PayPal if elsewhere in the world.
I have flexibility to offer special rates if you feel this is for you and need to find a way to make the finances work for both of us - please simply contact me to discuss. I would love to have your company as we walk alongside each other for a while.
The six weeks will take us around the Compass Rose, from Week 1 in the centre, in Peace, through North, Purpose; East, Passion; South, Power; West, Progress; and finally Return to Peace in the centre in Week 6. I am preparing details of the detailed programme now and will update the website page soon.
For me, today, my first response is - ooh, a new colour. Still a gentle shade but different. Bringing in the midsummer green of the mature trees around my home here in Cornwall.

If you would like to join me in reflection, ask yourself the questions here, and write in your journal. Or, if you prefer, read on and come back later.
- What is your first response?
- To the word? To the colour?
- What else is there?
- And, what else?
- What is your response to the words together? How do all the colours connect?
What else is there?
Meditation - I often feel I am not very good at meditating. I find a guided visualisation such as the magic carpet rides I offer gives me access into a meditative state more easily than trying to empty my mind. The deep green of Meditation, and the word itself feels like a marker as we enter into the second half of 2025. a pause for reflection. A choice to make on how to move forward from here.
What is your response to all the words together? How do the colours connect?
Right now, I do not have an answer to my own questions here, and that is fine.
As always, these are simply my first responses, today. another time they would be different and so will yours be. There are no 'rights' or 'wrongs' to this process with the cards, simply what is present here today for me, and for you.
Coming up: Autumn Programme 'True Essence'
For those of you busy during the summer months, or who would simply like to look ahead to 'what next?', the autumn programme will be 'True Essence', following the flow around the Compass Rose as always. Details will be in the August newsletter, and on the website as soon as possible. The planned start date is week beginning 8th September, with the Zoom calls on Wednesdays at 11.00 am UK time. Before then there will be taster circles on Wednesdays 28th August and 3rd September.
Ten Years of Magic Carpet Rides Circle: Monday 30th June
Just squeezing this in before I send this newsletter out to you. All through June I have been hosting celebrations - and I will of course continue to recognise the unexpected and extraordinary power that the apparently playful and light-hearted Magic Carpet Ride visualisation has shown.
The last of these events is on Monday 30th June at 7.30 pm UK time. If you would like to join me at that time, here is the Zoom link.
Thank you for joining me here this month, any thoughts, feedback, or questions are always welcome.
