Your Soul Family

We seek calmness and the wisdom to be found there by building and painting a soul map back to our unconscious mind or soul. We seek to show others how to do it. The Your Soul Family (YSF) logo represents transformation and learning.

A soul map is a geometric picture that represents you and the key people in your life along with the relationships you have and the key life lessons you may be learning.

2023! What can you expect from the coming year?

January brings a fresh start: simplify your life to allow more space for joy….

At the moment there is plenty in the world to worry about – inflation, energy crisis, war, mortgage and rent increases. Many of my friends have said they have stopped reading the news as much of it promotes fear or is depressing.

You are part of humanity and your behaviour has an impact whether you consciously recognise it or not. You are part of the collective consciousness of humanity and therefore contribute to steering our journey.

World calamities give us good reasons to change. Some call it the ‘burning ground’ and it’s a driver for doing things differently from the past. read more

Meet Alison Wem: Global Woman Club, Paris (zoom)

What an inspiring group of women are in the Global Woman Club. I went to meet them in London and found women who are passionate about their lives and what they do.

From all walks of life and nations, this group of women resonated with one another in being pro-active about their lives to make them what they want, rather than the circumstances they found themselves in. All have businesses which they are either their main career or they run alongside another career or family responsibilities.

Global Woman events are held each month across the globe to share wisdom and to support one another. read more

Can great rugby and great Italian food be combined?

ENGLAND V SOUTH AFRICA

In the final match of the series, England will play South Africa on 20 November 2021 in what will be the first meeting between the sides since the Rugby World Cup 2019 final. This also sees the Springboks back at Twickenham Stadium for the first time since 2018, England edging that game 12-11.

Great Italian food will be served at the match from a vintage Ape Piaggio food truck by Spaggetti on the Road 

Take a look at their fantastic menu that combines the “street“ gastronomic tradition with the Italian cuisine and always ensuring a high quality standard. read more

How are we coping with so many people dying of Covid-19?

Grieving for a loss or trying to support someone who has lost a loved one?

All of us experience grief at some point in our lives.  When we experience it for the first time it can come as quite a shock.  It is often not talked about so it is hard to know how to deal with it.

In the UK over 100,000 people have passed as a direct result of catching Covid-19. On average for each person who passes, 8 – 10 people feel the loss of them in their lives.

The population of the UK is approximately 68m people and up to 1m of them are currently grieving. Many of them are young adults who did not expect to loose a parent so soon. 1m people is nearly 1.5% of the population, so probably all of us know someone who has lost a loved one and is grieving. The UK is not the only country in this situation. read more

Covid-19: is it providing us with an opportunity to permanently change our lives?

Is Covid-19 creating a burning platform for change?

While it may not go away totally and we will have to learn to live with it, Covid-19 has forced us to change the way we are living and to consider what is important to us.

Loved ones are at the top of our prioritises – not unsurprisingly. Leading a simpler life has been a new experience for some and has made people question whether they need all of their ‘things’. Nature is valued more. Relationships and happy experiences enrich our lives. read more

Covid-19

Many people have asked me if I think there is a purpose behind Covid-19. I believe it is offering us learning and healing on so many levels. The Spring lockdown was like humanity pressing the ‘pause’ button. Most of us were restricted to our homes with little external stimulation. It gave us time to reflect on who and what was important to us in our life.

As a result many people are choosing to live their life differently.

Certainly in London there is a building trend of people deciding to live outside of the city where there is more space and nature. They are limiting their work time in the office and commuting only when necessary. read more
