The Returning Woman
This year-long spiral immersion is an invitation to return. To return to yourself, your body, and the power that has always lived within you. To the woman who is fierce, intuitive, creative, and unapologetically present.
You will walk an ancient spiral path through eight archetypes of the wild feminine, each one exploring a different aspect of what it means to be a woman. Each archetype carries both gifts and shadows, offering a different way of understanding ourselves, our relationships, and the many seasons we move through in life. The journey moves with the Wheel of the Year, from Samhain to Samhain, and it ends where all true journeys end. With you - The Returning Woman. A woman who has gathered the wisdom of each spiral and woven it into her own life.
Drawing on earth-based wisdom, embodied spiritual practice, and the deep patterning of archetype, Belinda and Fionn will guide you on a journey of self-discovery and inner alchemy. Together they bring two different perspectives that naturally complement one another, creating a space where curiosity, embodiment, creativity and honest conversation can sit alongside ritual, mythology and the wisdom of the natural world.
On this path you will meet the hidden parts of yourself, reclaim what has been lost, and rise into embodied feminine leadership.
This is more than a personal journey. The shifts you make ripple out and support a collective remembering. When we gather together and share our stories, we give each other permission to be seen. It is in being witnessed that we begin to rise.
This is how we return to ourselves, together.
What Women Are Saying About Our Workshops
I thoroughly enjoyed this set of spirals, beautifully facilitated by Fionn and Belinda. I especially appreciated how each of them brought a distinct approach, and how naturally their approaches complemented one another. I looked forward to our monthly circles and the opportunity to explore the mystical and magical alongside deeply meaningful topics, conversations that are so often considered uncomfortable or unpalatable elsewhere. The course materials are rich, thoughtful, and deeply supportive. Fionn and Belinda are both stellar souls, and it was an absolute privilege to journey alongside them.

Your Guides
Belinda and Fionn view the world through two distinct lenses, and it's this difference that makes them work so well together.
Fionn Leitch
Somatic and Shamanic Practitioner
Fionn is a Somatic and Shamanic Practitioner, ceremonialist, and energy alchemist with over 16 years of experience supporting others through deep personal and spiritual healing.
She weaves together breathwork, somatic practices, ancestral ritual, and energy medicine to help people reconnect with their voice, power, and inner wisdom.
She is a trained Shamanic Practitioner, Priestess, and certified Breathwork and Somatic Guide. Her training includes Reiki (Master Teacher), Family Constellations, and Cacao facilitation. Her deepest learning, however, comes from Mother Earth, the trees, the animals, and the people she’s honoured to walk alongside.
Fionn has a deep love of story and archetype, which she infuses into her work and invites others to explore the deeper patterns that shape their lives.
Having walked her own healing path through religious and childhood trauma, Fionn brings compassion, clarity, and integrity to the spaces she holds. Her approach is trauma-informed, heart-led, and rooted in the belief that the medicine we seek already lives within us.
Belinda Haig
Earth Mother
Belinda is deeply rooted in the everyday and she brings that groundedness into everything she creates.
Working with fibres is her deepest craft, spinning and weaving, transforming the raw into something comforting and alive.
She also creates spirit dolls as a way to connect with the world. Each begins as a simple form, but she sits with them for weeks, listening for their message, understanding what they want from her and what they wish to offer the person they are meant for. Through this slow and intentional process, each doll becomes something unique and powerful.
In this offering, Belinda brings the grounded, nurturing energy of Mother Earth. She believes that to be a witch is to be a woman, and to be a woman is to be deeply connected with the Earth, listening for her wisdom and receiving what she offers.
In this immersion, she also brings her gift for Tarot, holding space for the women in the circle to read the symbolic language of their own lives.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.

Why We Answer the Call?
For centuries, women have been taught to shrink, to conform, to hide their true selves. To second-guess themselves. To soften the truth until it fits. To live at arm's length from their own bodies. But the body remembers what the world taught us to forget, and now is your time to return to the wisdom of your body, to trust the truth of your own voice, to meet yourself with greater presence, and to reconnect with the quiet power that has always lived within you.
The feminine archetypes are older than the conditioning that has shaped so many of us. The Crone, the Maiden, the Lover, the Mother, the Wild Woman and the other archetypes we encounter throughout the spiral are living patterns already moving in you, waiting to be met, embodied, and integrated. By walking the spiral with each of them, you begin dismantling the conditioning that has kept you small and reimagining what it means to be a powerful woman at this time.
Each archetype offers something different. Together they invite us to explore our creativity, our capacity to love, our instinct, our discernment, our courage, our grief, our joy and our wisdom, gradually revealing a fuller picture of what it means to be a woman.
The way we meet ourselves shapes the way we meet the world. As we learn to trust our bodies, honour our boundaries, nurture our creativity and stand more honestly in who we are, those changes naturally ripple into our relationships, our families and our communities. This is the foundation of feminine leadership. Not leading through performance or perfection, but through presence, integrity and the courage to live in alignment with who you are.
Returning Woman offers a space to explore who you already are, held within a circle of women who are equally committed to meeting themselves with honesty, curiosity and compassion.
Every meaningful change begins with the relationship we have with ourselves.
A Sacred Invitation to Remember
A year-long spiral journey through the feminine archetypes, weaving together embodiment, mythology, seasonal living, creativity, ritual, women's history and the wisdom of the natural world. As you move through each spiral, you'll gradually build a richer understanding of yourself and your own experience of womanhood, supported by a community of women who are equally committed to living with greater presence, courage and authenticity.
The spiral culminates in the ninth and final gathering, where you step into the centre of the circle as the Returning Woman. She is the integration of everything you have explored throughout the year. She is the woman who has met each archetype, welcomed both their gifts and their shadows, and discovered what those experiences mean within her own life.
Are you ready to meet her?
The woman who trusts herself a little more than she did yesterday.
The woman who is curious about what it means to live from her own truth rather than someone else's expectations.
The woman who knows there is more of herself still waiting to be discovered.

The Returning Woman
A Path of Remembering and Returning
Journey Begins 1 November 2026
Nine live spirals unfold across a full turn of the Wheel of the Year, from Samhain to Samhain. Between each spiral, threshold months offer space to rest, integrate and allow the experiences, practices and reflections to settle more deeply into your life.
Becoming needs space as well as heat for alchemy to unfold.
Each spiral centres on a different feminine archetype, weaving together embodiment, seasonal wisdom, mythology, women's history, creativity, ritual and the natural world. Through discussion, ceremony, movement, crafting and shared enquiry, you'll explore both the gifts and the shadow of each archetype, discovering how she is expressed within your own life.
Together, the spirals create a year-long exploration of what it means to be a woman, inviting you to meet yourself with greater honesty, curiosity, compassion and presence as the journey unfolds.
Spiral 1 (Sunday, 1 November 2026)
The Crone – The Descent
The spiral begins at Samhain, when one cycle comes to an end and another quietly begins. The Crone invites us to honour endings, release what no longer belongs, and discover the wisdom that can only emerge when we stop resisting change. She reminds us that every ending creates the space for something new to begin.
-
Enter the circle and the ancient tradition of women gathering together.
-
Meet the Crone as the keeper of endings, thresholds, and deep knowing.
-
Release what is complete: roles, stories, and selves you have outgrown.
-
Develop the capacity to stay with yourself through endings, uncertainty and change, discovering the quiet strength that grows when nothing needs to be rushed.
Spiral 2 (February 2026)
The Weaver of Dreams – The Kindling
As the first stirrings of spring begin to emerge at Imbolc, the Weaver of Dreams reminds us that every new beginning starts quietly. Before anything becomes visible in the world, it begins as an idea, a longing or a whisper asking for our attention. This spiral is an invitation to notice what wants to emerge and to begin giving it shape.
-
Work with the energy of Imbolc: new life, rising light, quickening.
-
Kindle intention through candle ritual and sacred crafting.
-
Explore what wants to emerge in this next season of your life, and begin giving it shape through creativity, intention and practice.
-
Explore rebirth: what wants to come alive in you this year?
Spiral 3 (March 2027)
The Maiden – The Beginning
At Ostara, the Maiden arrives with the spring. She carries innocence without naivety, wonder without apology, and the courage to begin again.
-
Reclaim beginnings: curiosity, play, possibility.
-
Plant seeds of intention in ritual, and in the earth.
-
Meet the parts of you that were never allowed to be young, hopeful, or free.
-
Practice taking small courageous steps, even when certainty hasn't yet arrived.
Spiral 4 (May 2027)
The Lover – Love, Desire and Relationship
At Beltane, the Lover calls you into full aliveness. Together we'll explore the relationship between sexuality, creativity and spirit, and the invitation to become more deeply present in your own body.
-
Reclaim sexuality as sacred, empowering, and yours.
-
Explore the link between sensual energy, creativity, and the life you are making.
-
Understand how culture has shaped and constrained women's pleasure and desire.
-
Create space for honest conversations about intimacy, sensuality and sexuality, free from shame, judgement and expectation.
Spiral 5 (June 2027)
The Mother – The Nourisher
At Litha, the height of the light, the Mother teaches the art of tending: gardens, bodies, communities, and self. We honour the long lineage of midwives, healers, and wise women whose hands held the world.
-
Explore nourishment that does not require self-abandonment.
-
Gather plant wisdom and the healing traditions of the women who came before us.
-
Meet the Mother within: the one who tends, protects, and provides.
-
Practice receiving as deeply as you give.
Spiral 6 (July 2027)
The Shapeshifter – The Mask and the Truth
The Shapeshifter knows every form you have ever taken to survive. Together we'll explore the roles, identities and masks that once protected you, recognising the wisdom they offered while discovering who you are beyond them.
-
Identify the masks and roles you shapeshift into, and what they cost you.
-
Explore transformation as a conscious practice rather than a survival response.
-
Work somatically with the felt sense of who you are beneath the performance.
-
Reclaim your fluidity as power: the ability to change without losing yourself.
Spiral 7 (August 2027)
The Wild Woman – The Fire Within
At Lammas, the Wild Woman brings the heat. This spiral honours anger and rage as emotions that deserve to be heard rather than feared, recognising the ways they have been suppressed, misunderstood and silenced in women for generations.
-
Honour anger as a valid, powerful, and transformative emotion.
-
Understand the cultural suppression of women's anger and its cost to our bodies.
-
Work somatically with rage: letting it move, speak, and inform.
-
Channel your fire into boundaries, truth-telling, and change.
Spiral 8 (September 2027)
The Bone Gatherer / Wise Woman – The Harvest
At Mabon, the Bone Gatherer walks the field of the year and gathers what matters. This spiral is about harvest, discernment, and the deep wisdom of knowing what to keep and what to lay down.
-
Gather the harvest of your year: what you have grown, learned, and become.
-
Explore abundance as a felt state rather than an achievement.
-
Honour the wise women of your lineage and the wisdom carried in your own bones.
-
Practice discernment: choosing what comes with you into the next turning.
Spiral 9 (October 2027)
The Returning Woman – You
At Samhain the spiral comes full circle. This final gathering is about recognising the woman who has emerged through walking with all the archetypes. The Returning Woman (you) has explored each aspect of herself, embraced both the gifts and the shadows she has encountered, and returns to her life with a deeper understanding of who she is and how she wants to live.
-
Step into the centre of the circle as the woman you have become.
-
Gather together the wisdom, practices and experiences of the past year, recognising how each archetype has shaped your own understanding of womanhood.
-
Celebrate with ritual, music, gratitude, and the witness of your circle.
-
Cross the final threshold: from the spiral into your life, as her.
What Women Are Saying About Our Workshops
This course was an incredible experience, guiding me on a deeply personal journey to connect with my goddesses and awaken the goddess within. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully put together, it also introduced me to a circle of amazing women. Fionn and Belinda complement each other perfectly in their teaching, and I’m excited to see where they lead me next on my journey.
