October 2026 Autumn Compass Rose Programme

 Will you join me for a gentle turn around the Compass Rose? Beginning in the centre point, Peace. Visiting North - Purpose, East - Passion, South - Power, West - Progress, and returning to Peace for week six.

Along the way you will be offered weekly and daily prompts, inclucing group cards from ‘The Wisdom of the Four Winds’ deck by Barry Brailsford from Mew Zealand. We will meet each Friday at 2.30 pm UK time on Zoom for an hour of individual cards from the Dare to Blossom decks, and a magic carpet ride guided visualisation.

In the words of a previous participant:

“Mary, thank you again for your kindness, guidance and the wonderful space that you have created in my life these last few weeks. I love the Maori connection of your work and have been fascinated by the power of the stories and messages I have received. The journey around the Compass Rose has brought me clarity and a deeper sense of calm.”

I am offering three taster circles where you can experience the flow of the process for yourself, and find out more about the full programme.

These will be at 2.30 pm on Fridays, 9th October, 16th October, and 23rd October. Simply contact me to receive the Zoom link or if you are on Fcebook, look out for the events.

Please note that our clocks go back an hour on Sunday 25th October so the Zoom call times may be different where you are in the world after that date.

More practical details below.

The private Facebook group opens: Saturday 31st October. If you do not use FB I can send you the materials by email.

Start date: Sunday 1st November - Week 1 materials shared for Peace - with a new set each week

Monday to Friday: daily prompts shared (more details soon if this is new to you)

Friday 6th November: Week 1 Zoom circle at 2.30 UK time, lasting around one hour. A private recording will be shared with all signed up to th programme even if you were not able to attend live.

Repeated each week for the flow around the Compass Rose:

Week 2: Purpose

Wek 3: Passion

Week 4: Power

Week 5 Progress

Week 6: Return to Peace

Fee payable for all six weeks, including materials/prompts, Zoom circles, and recordings: £180.

This can be paid in two instalments, £90 before we start and the second payment before we finish.

I can also offer discounted fees for you if you are strongly drawn to join us but your circumstances mean you cannot pay the full fee.

Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss this.

And if you are a Stay Connected member (meaning you have taken part in previous programmes), the full fee is £150, again with special rates if necessary for you to be able to take part.

A final word from another past attendee:

“My sessions with Mary and The Compass Rose were not at all what I thought they would be. What I experienced was a much deeper, richer and valuable process than I could have imagined!

Mary helped facilitate a process and magical journey of finding clues and keys to unlocking doors within, and helping me to gain a fresh new perspective within myself and in my life.

Mary’s naturally gentle and sensitive approach is very supportive and nurturing and I would highly recommend this powerful process of The Compass Rose - what an amazing and enjoyable journey of self discovery it has been!”

September 2028 - Blossoming

 

September 2026

Hello dear friends,

Since I last wrote work has continued on the decking and access ramps around our new home, and our collection of plants in pots is flourishing despite the drought - and helped by some rain over the past few days. We have experienced an almost total eclipse of the sun, and that same week I had to call 999 for an ambulance twice for my husband., made even more 'interesting' by the car breaking down (on eclipse night) on the way to pick him up from the hospital. Thankfully things seem to be settling down now.




The dappled sunlight through the trees created a beautiful effect, and we took a quick glimpse through our eclipse glasses.

Reflections: Blossoming
Even though September heralds Autumn here in Cornwall, there are still many blossoms in my garden, despite the ravages of the fire, plus the drought that has affected so much of the UK and Europe. Over the last few days we've had quite a bit of rain and even the plants in pots are looking much happier.



The bright pink geranium on the far right in the picture is one we have had for years. I have to be quite ruthless in cutting it back every year as it can get very straggly, but so far that has worked and I have been rewarded by a gorgeous show of colourful blossoms.

This leads me to reflect on where else in my life some literal or metaphorical pruning might be beneficial. We have already lost so much in the fire, and I am very grateful that my wooden office/studio survived. I have begun sorting out the clutter in there and transferring a few decorative treasures into our new home. At some point I will need to get rid of a whole lot of things I no longer need.

Alongside the pots a number of Datura plants have sprung up, we haven't had those growing here for years but the seeds must have been lying dormant until the fire or the disturbance of the soil prompted them to germinate to produce seedlings and now flowers.



I wonder what new revelations and insights will emerge for me over the months ahead?



What does Blossoming bring for you tight now? What is your first response? To the word? The colour? What else is there? And, what else?

You may like tor reflect in your journal, or simply to bear the word in mind as you go through your day.


New Compass Rose Programme: 'Through Unravelling to Re-Weaving'

A new eight week programme taking you through the Compass Rose flow from Peace in the centre, via North – Purpose, East – Passion and then exploring what is Unravelling for you. Is this through circumstances or choice? Maybe a combination?

Then onwards to South – Power, and to choosing which unravelled threads to keep for your new tapestry, and the pattern you wish to weave. West is where we review the progress we have made before Return to Peace in the Centre Pont, the place we have never left, always been connected with throughout our explorations.

Will you join a small group of people who will meet once a week on Zoom and share a private Facebook group where I will post weekly and daily prompts?

To help you decide I am offering two free taster sessions, also on Zoom, ahead of the start in mid-September. The dates are Tuesdays 8^th and 15^th September at 11.00 am UK time. These events are available to book on Facebook,(click on the links above to take you straight there)  or simply contact me  for the Zoom link or if you have any questions. There is absolutely no pressure to sign up, simply an invitation to spend a gentle hour together in a small group and experience a little of the magic we create together in the in-depth programmes.

The private Facebook group will open over the  weekend of 26^th and 27th September with the weekly and daily prompts beginning on Sunday 27^th.The fee is £208 for the full eight week programme, including the weekly Zoom calls, with a private recording of each one in case you miss any, or wish to listen again as the magic of each circle unfolds.

There is an option of paying in instilments and of discounted rates for anyone who is strongly drawn to join us but whose financial circumstances may mean this is a challenge. As always there is a special rate for those who have taken in previous Compass Rose programmes with me.

Please follow your intuition, your inner wisdom, to first decide if this does feel right for you, now.

(PS I know the photo shows a plait rather than a weave - but I had fun playing with these fragments of rug wool inherited from my mother.)

More details will be available on the website soon.
