Mornings to Pause — A Slow Garden Morning

A small, slow gathering for women. Sunday 12 July · 9:15–10:45am · The private garden behind the Almonry, Ely.

Some mornings deserve to be met slowly.

This is a gentle gathering for six, held in a quiet garden behind the Cathedral — ours alone, before the day fills up.

No making. No achieving. Just noticing.

We open our senses to the garden — the light, the green, the air on the skin. We walk slowly, with nowhere to be. We notice together, and share a little from the heart, if we wish. And we close with tea, taken slowly, and a quiet moment of gratitude for the morning.

It's a morning to come back to your senses. To find a little stillness before the week begins.

🌿 Somatic Integration

Through gentle body-based guidance, we'll close the morning by noticing what has shifted. Where is there more ease? Where has something softened?

What's included: a guided slow walk, the senses opened gently, two seasonal whole leaf teas, and a warm, slow atmosphere. All you bring is yourself.

Please note: This is an outdoor gathering. Please dress for the weather and wear something comfortable for slow walking. In case of heavy rain, I'll be in touch.

Six places, so it stays intimate.

Your Facilitator

Pauline grew up in Hong Kong learning food as medicine from her Po Po (granddma) — ginger tea before symptoms appeared, soups for prevention. When eczema taught her to listen to her body's messages, she rediscovered what her culture always knew: the body speaks clearly when we're willing to hear.

Now an ICF Level 2 Body-Oriented Coach (The Somatic School, UK), trained in Polyvagal Theory and nervous system regulation, she bridges East Asian ancestral practices with modern body science — helping women find their way back to themselves, one slow morning at a time. 2,000+ coaching hours, including 500+ with neurodivergent professionals in workplace settings.
