October in my corner of East Devon: Rebalance, Reconnect & Restore
October in my corner of East Devon: Rebalance, Reconnect & Restore
There is something about October that invites us to slow down.
The brighter, busier energy of summer begins to soften. The evenings draw in, the leaves begin to change and there is a natural pull towards cosiness, reflection and quieter moments.
For many women, especially when life already feels full, October can be a lovely opportunity to pause and ask:
What do I actually need right now?
Not what needs doing.
Not what everyone else needs from me.
But what do I need?
This October, that's the intention running through Crystal Healing with Vicky in East Devon.
Rebalance
We spend so much of our lives responding.
Messages.
Family.
Work.
Appointments.
Responsibilities.
The endless mental list that seems to continue even when we finally sit down.
Rebalancing doesn't have to mean changing everything.
Sometimes it starts with creating a little space.
A crystal in your hand.
A quiet room.
A guided meditation.
An evening spent with other women without needing to perform, achieve or explain yourself.
For my October women's crystal circles, we'll be working intuitively with Garden Quartz, a beautifully layered crystal that feels particularly at home with this month's theme.
Reconnect
When life gets busy, it's surprisingly easy to become disconnected from yourself.
You can be getting everything done while feeling strangely far away from the person doing it all.
That's one of the reasons I created my women's crystal circles.
They're not about having all the answers.
They're not about knowing lots about crystals.
And you don't need to consider yourself particularly spiritual.
They're simply small, confidential spaces where women can pause, connect with a crystal and spend some time noticing what is happening within them.
There is something special about sitting in a circle of women who have all arrived with their own stories.
Different lives.
Different reasons for coming.
Yet often a very similar desire:
to feel a little more like themselves again.
Restore
Restoration doesn't always look like lying down in complete silence.
Sometimes it looks like stepping into a warm sauna.
Sometimes it's laughing with other women.
Sometimes it's choosing whether or not to take the plunge into cold water.
Sometimes it's sitting beneath a tree afterwards with a cup of tea and a crystal in your hand.
That's the thinking behind Sauna Soul & Stones at Pure Hiki Sauna in East Devon.
This October's experience brings together fire, water, stone and nature.
We'll spend time in the wood-fired sauna, with the cold water available for those who want it, followed by crystal healing, meditation and time to simply be.
There is no pressure to plunge.
No pressure to talk.
No pressure to do anything other than listen to yourself.
Sunday 11 October, 6–8pm.
There are currently three spaces available.
October Crystal Circles in East Devon
This month there are several ways to join me, depending on what feels right for you.
Exmouth | Thursday 8 October
Our October Exmouth circle will be centred around Garden Quartz and the intention of Rebalance.
There are currently three spaces available.
Topsham | Thursday 15 October
Our Topsham circle is currently looking very close to full, with final confirmations being made.
Online | Sunday 25 October
Not local to East Devon?
You can still join the circle from wherever you are.
Your sofa can be your circle space.
Your crystal can sit beside you.
You can make yourself a cup of tea, close the laptop afterwards and stay exactly where you are.
A new circle in Budleigh
I'm excited to share that I am bringing a women's crystal circle to Red Bay Pilates in Budleigh with the first one on 30th October date.
Meet me in Exmouth
I'll also be at the Mind, Body & Spirit event in Exmouth on Saturday 10 October.
I'll have a small Crystal Healing with Vicky stall with crystal bracelets and crystal healing tasters.
If you've followed me online for a while but we've never met in person, come and say hello.
I'd love to meet you.
You don't need another thing to achieve
Perhaps that's the real invitation behind October.
You don't need to turn this month into another self-improvement project.
You don't need to become calmer, more spiritual, more organised or more “together”.
Perhaps you simply need somewhere to pause.
Somewhere to breathe.
Somewhere to reconnect with yourself.
Somewhere you can put down the role you're playing for everyone else for a little while.
That's what I'm creating through my crystal healing sessions, women's circles and experiences across Exmouth, Topsham, Lympstone, Budleigh and online.
A sacred pause.
A little space.
A chance to come home to yourself.
Rebalance. Reconnect. Restore.
And perhaps October is the month you give yourself permission to do exactly that.
If you'd like to join one of the October experiences, or simply want to ask whether crystal healing might be right for you, get in touch.
