Movement is powerful. And the movement I guide you into through with Awakened Bellydance is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.
It is ancient movement, it is sacred movement, it is feminine movement, it is life changing movement.
Women that feel the call to Awakened Bellydance come out of it changed in ways that often cant be put into words !
There has always been an inner knowing that women comming together in sisterhood, have a special kind of power.
Women together in sisterhood, who do Awakened Bellydance, experience the freedom and release just as our ancestors always intended.
This year I have been working on the most beautiful monthly offering and our first one ever is coming up this month!
When: Sunday 25th October 2026
Where: The The Fishermen's Chapel- leigh on sea
4pm till 6pm
A nurturing space of sisterhood.
Awakened Bellydance
An opportunity for creative expression through art
A time to reconnect with your body, your breath, and your inner knowing

Do you know I run a unique womens circle ?

At Rivers Sisters of Alchemy , monthly gathering I combine ancient dance movements, specific sound tracks and creative expression?

Its on at The Fishermens Chapel - Leigh on Sea
Sunday 25th Oct 2026 | 4pm – 6pm

With so many of you saying how stressed you are, how exausted you are, how everything can sometimes feels overwhelming or just too much to handle lately- I feel its so important this week to remind you about Your Root Chakra: Your Foundation, Your Power !

RELEASE AND RECLAIM !

Something big is shifting
The air feels different. The body knows.

As we turn the wheel into autum there’s a pull toward change, release, and new beginnings.

This is an invitation to slow down, drop into your body, and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

Through movement, breath, sacred dance, visualisation and sound, you’ll be guided into your body — into presence, grounding, and connection.
And into a deeper journey of release — letting go of old patterns, conditioning, and anything that no longer belongs to you.

Jane will dance along with you, demonstrating how to use this combination of sacred dance movements, breath, energy work, and conscious communication to get you to a deeper state of grounded connection.

You will become fully grounded, present, and connected to your own body and to your Self and mother earth — on all levels.

This is a space for women to come together, reconnect, and create from a more rooted place.

No dance or creative experience needed — just bring yourself

If your body says yes… trust it.

Spaces are limited to keep the circle intimate.

By combining this cosmic energy with Awakened Bellydance and creative expression, you will:

Ground deeply into your body and the Earth
Release stagnant energy, ancestral conditioning, and patterns that no longer serve
Awaken your intuition and embodied wisdom
Integrate your new energies into your body, so the insights land and guide you in your life and business
move with love, honesty and deep presence

This is a 2 hour session — to move, breathe, and create and anchor your energy with clarity and presence.

~ Come in comfy cozy layers
~ A scarf for around your hips - no jangly ones this time please!
~ Yoga mat and blanket
~ Journal and pen


Cant wait to dance with you

When was the last time you gave yourself space to move, create and simply listen to yourself?

Not to get anything done. Not to meet anyone else’s expectations. But to reconnect with the part of you that can get lost in the busyness of everyday life.

This is your invitation into River Sisters of Alchemy — a unique women’s circle combining Awakened Bellydance with creative expression, guided by Jane Rivers.

It's hard to imagine the women living my life 10 years ago or even 5 years ago ( like in the first photo), is the same women that is living my life today ( second photo)
So when I hear someone say that "people don't change"
I smile to myself because I have my own personal experiences that prove otherwise
BUT that change didn't come easy
When I started to wake up I had to face up to some very harsh realities
that forced me to take responsibility for myself and make some very different and often very difficult decisions and choices
After too many years of living unconsciously ,
Trying to live a life, that for much of it went against every cell in my body ended up making me depressed
Getting myself into debt trying to create the perfect home life & successful business to prove my worth gave me constant anxiety
Building my business at home because I was to afraid to not be their for my kids
Putting the dreams, needs and fears and insecurities of the man I thought I would be with forever before my own became exhausting
Rejection, conflict or lack of empathy every time I asked for what I needed or wanted sadly left me very confused and unable make discissions for myself for a while.
BUT
A little over 5 ears years ago
I took my power back
I made that choice to put myself first !
I would no longer let anyone over step my boundaries
I would no longer accept aggressive behaviour & lies . I was able to asked him to leave
I would no longer live beyond my means filling my life with stuff to make myself feel better
I no longer needed to drown myself in alcohol at every opportunity
Now in so many ways I am so abundant and thriving - no longer just surviving !
Would you like to start changing your life too ?
Work with me - 1 to 1 online for 3 or 7 sessions of Awakened Bellydance and lets start shifting the S**T thats been holding you back !

Today I have created a whole new circle of 8 Pocket Goddess Dolls, in the beautiful, earthy colours of Autumn, and as I sat with them all together, I found myself thinking about the turning of the Wheel of the Seasons, and how important it is for us to stay connected to these natural rhythms.

We are so often caught up in the busyness of life, always doing, always giving, always moving on to the next thing, that sometimes we forget we are part of nature too.

Autumn gently reminds us that everything has its season. The trees begin to let go of their leaves, the days grow shorter, and we too are invited to slow down, turn inward, and perhaps release the things we no longer need to carry.

We are not meant to be blooming all year round.

There are times for growing and blossoming, and times when we need to draw our energy inward, nourish ourselves, and listen to what is happening within.

This is some of the energy I have been holding as I created these little goddesses, imagining them finding their way into someone's hands, sitting on an altar, beside a candle, or tucked into a pocket as a gentle reminder to pause and reconnect with yourself.

And as I placed all eight together, I felt the beauty of them forming a circle.

There is something so special about gathering in circle, creating a space where we can share what is on our hearts, listen to one another, and remember that we don't have to navigate every season of our lives alone.

There is something deeply nourishing about being witnessed and heard, without needing to fix anything or have all the answers.

Perhaps this is one of Autumn's greatest invitations. To gather, to reflect, to let go, and to nurture what we need as we move into the quieter months.

These eight little goddesses have come together as their own circle, each created with love, care and intention, carrying a little reminder of the magic that can be found when we reconnect with nature, with one another, and with ourselves.

I always feel that the right creation will speak to you in its own way, finding the person who needs it at just the right time.

So here they are, my new little circle of eight Autumn Pocket Goddesses, created with so much love.

I'm offering them here to my followers first before they go live on my website

Have you ever stopped long enough to ask yourself truely and deeply ~ is this the life I dream of or am I just unconsciously following a path ?

Have you ever dared to ask what else is possible ?

I did !

This was 5 years ago when I said "No More"
to everything I knew and had believed as being the only path for me. After 33 years in a relationship.

I started to put myself first , rebuild my life . I went to Egypt (First ever major flight and trip out of the country ) to train for the first time as an Awakened Bellydance Sisters of Alchemy facilitator

What a journey of self discovery and adventure.
Stepping through so many fears and finding parts of me I never knew existied.

Climbing a mountain by moonlight was amazing but the bigger challenge was when I thought of going back down in daylight, but that fear of heights soon dissipated as we all walked together, totally present with every step and in ore of the breath taking views
Here we all are taking a moment to enjoy the stars on a mountain platue,
It is still one of the most amazing and life changing experience's ever !

Never under estimate yourself or the adventures you are capable of going on.

I'm a great believer in doing the things that light us up and following the opportunities that arrive when we commit to ourselves.

Today was one of those days.
This morning at The Fishermen's Chapel in Leigh on sea, I gave a talk about how art and creativity can have a positive effect on our mental health and wellbeing.
Even though Ive often given these talks about my own experimces, this time I was able to interject with some of the new information I learnt on the first session of my HICAT practisioner training with Devine-Creative Education

This was followed by a fun intuitive group session to get us over the fear of freely being creative,
Dropping into the process rather than trying to perfect the perfect piece.
Calming our nervous system, our heart rate and our our thoughts.
There was lots of smiling, giggling and fun creating.

What a way to spend a couple of hours on a monday morning.

Creating Space is open at the chapel
Every Monday (except bank holidays)
10 till 11.30 am

On Friday you may remember I was starting my HICAT HYBRID practisioners course.
Holistic Intergrated Creative Arts Therapy Training.
With Katie Tucker at Devine-Creative Education

Well ... Firstly a huge thankyou to Katie for so warmly welcoming us into her home and creative cabin !
Katie and her cabin both have the most beautiful genuine, calm and loving energy.
Starting the session in circle , with gentle intros and meditation was a wonderful way to relax into the day.

Moving through to discussing the science and theory of the first module, with both printed and digital formats to fill in as we went along, was really helpful for me as I sometimes struggle to be on my computer for long periods.

A windy walk in the park after a light lunch really lifted our energy again.
In the afternoon we were seated around the table, we watched a very interesting ted talk and discussed the theory some more.
Then we got to explore some of the creative arts therapy activities. I'd already done these once or twice at home before hand. The first ones I realeased a whole lot of anger I hadnt realised I was holding against myself !
So I was honestly surprised that when I came to do it again on Friday how much I was aware of myself, my thoughts, the mental control patterns I was going through. I was able to pause , witness and continue in a different way.

Viewing how the other students had completed the same activity and how they expressed their experince was also extremely interesting .
My first insight into how it may look in a professional setting.

The day felt well paced and relaxed.
With plenty of time to connect outside the "class room setting"
My questions were all heard and answered putting my mind at rest. With a group chat so we can support each other between sessions, Im really excited at the possibilities this course will bring !

TO THE WOMAN WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY

To the woman who has lost her spark.
To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
This is to remind you whose daughter you are.
This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.
Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.
It’s really pretty simple.
