The heat has arrived in Andalusia.
And with it — that familiar pull to be outside and active. The world speeds up. The days stretch long. The self placed expectation that you should be keeping pace with all of it.
Maybe you are. Maybe you're already noticing something quieter underneath — a kind of low-level resistance you can't quite name. Something in you learned the silent pattern of the seasons and you know to prepare yourself - you know how to structure your days. Maybe its the first time you notice feeling a little more exhausted than usual.
In TCM, early Summer is linked to the Small Intestine's work — sorting what to let in and what to put down. The body's intelligence, running before the mind gets there.
This month’s blog post looks at exactly this: why early summer can feel destabilising before it feels energising, and what discernment actually looks like as a practice — not a concept. You will find some answers on something you instinctively knew or an explanation and guidance for a feeling that is new.
Horizon Circle
Life has its own rhythm in the South of Spain. Somehow it can be both hectic and slow at the same time. As much as we love this life that feels a little less framed than what we left behind coming here, it challenges creating wellness and exercise routines and keeping them.
We never quite find the time. Everything feels just a little too inconvenient, and life is too spontaneous?
Most options aren't built around your actual life. Fixed times, long sessions, a teacher somewhere on the internet with no connection to where you live.
Horizon Circle is a small online community for women in Andalusia. Yoga and Tai Chi / Qigong sessions every two weeks — thirty minutes, with replays so you practice when it fits, not when it's scheduled. And later this year, optional in-person sessions for those who want to meet in real life.
Same region. Flexible rhythm. Room to build from.

I will guide through a fluid Qigong practice continuing with the Fire theme of Summer with a special focus on the Small Intestine finding steadiness.
