The Body as Oracle
A Sacred Reclamation Gathering
Full Moon in Taurus,
Saturday 21 November 2026
9.30am to 12.30pm,
The Phoenix Tree, Edithmead, Somerset
The Invitation
Your body has been with you through every chapter of your life.
It has carried joy and grief. Stress and celebration. It has learned what feels safe, what feels overwhelming, what asks too much of you, and what allows you to breathe more freely.
Long before your mind has found the words, your body has often already noticed.
Perhaps through the tightness that arrives when you agree to something you do not truly want. The exhaustion that no amount of sleep quite eases. The steady feeling of unease that quietly tells you something is no longer aligned. Or the unexpected sense of peace that lets you know you are exactly where you need to be.
Your body is not simply something you live in.
It is part of the conversation.
This Gathering is an invitation to begin listening.
Held beneath the Full Moon in Taurus, we gather at a beautiful moment to pause and pay attention. The Full Moon illuminates what has been hidden, while Taurus invites us back into the wisdom of the body, the senses and the quiet certainty that comes from being fully present.
Where have you learned to ignore what your body has been trying to tell you?
Where have you overridden your own needs because life seemed to demand it?
Where has your body continued speaking, even when you felt unable to listen?
This morning is not about fixing your body.
It is about rebuilding your relationship with it.
About discovering that perhaps your body has not been working against you after all, but gently trying to guide you home.
Beginning to Reclaim Yourself
Listening to your body is not something that happens in a single morning.
Like every part of Sacred Reclamation, it begins with awareness and is strengthened through small, intentional choices that become part of everyday life.
Throughout the Gathering, you will be invited to explore how your body communicates with you, what it may have been holding on your behalf, and how you might begin responding with greater honesty, compassion and trust.
Perhaps that means recognising when you need rest before exhaustion takes over. Perhaps it means noticing the difference between tension and ease when making a decision. Perhaps it means allowing yourself to honour your body's limits without guilt, or following its quiet nudges instead of constantly questioning them.
There is no expectation that you will leave with every answer.
Instead, my hope is that you leave with a different relationship to the questions themselves. One rooted less in criticism and more in curiosity. Less in fixing and more in listening.
Because Sacred Reclamation is not about becoming disconnected from yourself in a different way.
It is about learning to trust that your body has been carrying wisdom all along, and taking the first small steps towards living in partnership with that wisdom every day.
What The Morning Holds
From the moment you arrive, you will be welcomed into a space that has been prepared for you.
As you step through the door, you will be welcomed with a smoke blessing. From there, you will gather around a long rustic table with herbal teas, decaf coffee and homemade treats, and space to arrive fully into the morning. Conversation begins to settle. The pace begins to soften.
At the heart of the room, an altar has been laid with candles, crystals, flowers and oracle cards. It is the still point around which the morning unfolds.
From that place of quiet presence, we begin.
Throughout the morning, you will be guided through meditation, reflection, breathwork, journalling and honest conversation, each offering a different way of reconnecting with the wisdom of your body. There is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable. You are invited simply to notice, to become curious, and to explore what your body may have been communicating all along.
Together, we will explore how the body responds to the way we live, the choices we make, the boundaries we honour or overlook, and the pace we ask ourselves to keep. Rather than judging those responses, you will begin learning how to meet them with greater understanding, compassion and trust.
Before we close, we gather together around the altar, standing in a circle, facing one another. In that closing space, we honour what has been witnessed, what has been felt, and what each woman is choosing to carry forward.
You will leave with more than an idea of what it means to listen to your body. You will leave with practical reflections, meaningful resources and the beginning of a relationship that you can continue to nurture long after the morning has ended.
Taking Sacred Reclamation Home
Throughout the morning, you will have time to reflect, write, ask questions and consider how the wisdom of your body might become a more trusted part of your everyday life. Rather than leaving with inspiration alone, you will begin creating your own personal practices of Sacred Reclamation, supported by reflections and resources that you can continue returning to long after the Gathering has ended.
Before we close, we gather together one final time to acknowledge what has been witnessed, felt and understood during the morning, carrying those reflections gently back into our lives.
