Receiving
A Sacred Reclamation Gathering
New Moon in Taurus,
Saturday 8 May 2027
9.30am to 12.30pm,
The Phoenix Tree, Edithmead, Somerset
The Invitation
What would it feel like to truly allow yourself to receive?
Not to strive for something. Not to earn it. Not to prove you deserve it.
Simply to open your hands and let it in.
Love.
Support.
Rest.
Beauty.
Joy.
Abundance.
Care.
For many women, this is one of the quietest and most difficult acts of all. Somewhere along the way we learn that receiving must be earned. That our needs should come last. That asking for support is weakness, and accepting kindness somehow leaves us owing something in return.
But that was never the truth.
This Gathering is an invitation to remember a different one.
Held beneath the New Moon in Taurus, we gather at a beautiful moment of quiet beginning. Every New Moon invites us to plant something new, but Taurus asks a particularly gentle question. Not what you can achieve, but what you are finally willing to allow yourself to receive.
Where have you convinced yourself that you must earn what your heart longs for?
Where have you closed the door to support because giving has always felt safer than receiving?
Where have you forgotten that you, too, are worthy of being nourished?
This morning is not about becoming more deserving.
It is about opening your hands to what has perhaps been waiting for you all along.
Beginning to Reclaim Yourself
Allowing yourself to receive is only the beginning. Sacred Reclamation is not about leaving believing abundance will simply appear. It is about gently recognising the ways you may have learned to close yourself to the very things that would nourish you, and beginning to choose differently.
Throughout the morning, you will be invited to reflect on your relationship with receiving. Not only receiving love or support, but receiving rest, appreciation, beauty, kindness, joy and the quiet generosity that life so often offers. More importantly, you will begin exploring what it might look like to welcome these things in ways that feel safe, meaningful and deeply authentic.
Perhaps that means accepting help without apology. Perhaps it means receiving a compliment without dismissing it, allowing someone else to care for you, or discovering that your own needs are just as worthy of attention as everyone else's.
There is no expectation that everything will suddenly feel easy. Sacred Reclamation is not measured by dramatic transformation, but by the small, intentional moments when you stop resisting what is offered with love, and quietly allow yourself to receive.
My hope is that you will leave not only feeling nourished and supported, but with practical reflections, meaningful resources and a renewed willingness to receive the life that has been patiently waiting to meet you.
What the morning holds
From the moment you arrive, you will be welcomed into a space that has been prepared with care and intention.
As you step through the door, you will be invited to receive a smoke blessing before settling around a long rustic table with herbal teas, decaffeinated coffee and homemade vegan and gluten-free treats. At the heart of the room, an altar of candles, flowers, crystals and seasonal symbols creates a quiet focal point for the morning ahead.
Together, we will move through guided meditation, thoughtful reflection, journalling and honest conversation. There is never any pressure to share more than feels comfortable, nor any expectation to arrive with answers. You are simply invited to be present, to listen to yourself, and to explore the themes of the Gathering in your own way.
Throughout the morning, you will have time to reflect, write, ask questions and consider how receiving might become 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, opened and reclaimed during the morning, carrying those reflections gently back into our lives.
Taking Sacred Reclamation Home
Throughout the morning, you will have time to pause, notice and gently explore what receiving truly means for you. Together, we will consider how openness, nourishment and receiving can become part of your everyday life, not as rare exceptions, but as a natural and deeply valued way of living.
Rather than leaving believing you simply need to become better at receiving, 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, opened and reclaimed during the morning, carrying those reflections gently back into our lives.

The Journey Continues
This Gathering completes the first Sacred Reclamation series, but it is not the end of the journey.
Sacred Reclamation was never intended to be something completed in five mornings. It is a way of returning to yourself again and again through the changing seasons of your life. Every time you choose to listen more deeply, to honour your body, to rest, to stand in your own authority or to receive what life is offering, you continue the work that began here.
I hope these Gatherings become a living part of your life. They may return in future seasons, perhaps carrying new stories, new women and new layers of the journey.
Until then, may you continue walking your own path with courage, honesty and devotion.
