Update: Summer 2025 Sacred Pause Rescheduled

We’re sorry to share that this year’s Summer Sacred Pause is being rescheduled to May 2026.

Due to family and health circumstances, both Nikki and Emmalene are being called to pause and tend to personal healing and care. As ever, we honour the path of the feminine—listening inward, prioritising what truly matters, and trusting the timing.

We deeply apologise for any disappointment this may cause. 

“We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.” —Joseph Campbell

With love,
Nikki & Emmalene xx
