Welcome to Hibernate, lovely. I’m so glad you’re here!
This gentle 5-part series invites you to slow down and find a moment of retreat in deepest Winter with me, Lisa Mabberley, from Mother Nurture & Wild
These Hibernate voicenotes, landing every couple of days over the next week, are for you to dip into and take what you need.
I hope they’ll support you as you weave your own version of a wintry hibernation, calling in the magic of this quiet season to nourish you in all the ways you crave.
Hit play above & listen in for:
For this final instalment of Hibernate we’re turning even further inward, seeking out our inner fire that sustains us and can always benefit from being fed.
I guide you through a meditation journey which I hope you’ll find supportive and insightful. In my introduction, I call it a mini-meditation, but whilst creating it for you it seemed to want to be a little more substantial than that - who was I to argue?! :-)
Episode length: 20 minutes 20 seconds
Inner fire reflection prompts:
After a guided meditation journey, it can be interesting to sit with the themes present within it and either develop your thoughts or note down what you’re noticing.
Though it’s lovely if they materialise, whole answers and complete clarity aren’t the goals here. Instead, hold these reflection questions with curiosity and allow what comes up in response to be enough for now.
Did you have a sense of what the ‘kindling’ might represent? What do you sense you need to gather in or call in to feed your flame?
What were you associating the fire in the hearth with? What did it speak to within you?
What is beginning to make sense or feel a little clearer?
What questions and wonders do you still have?
Journaling on these, taking the questions for a walk, talking them over with a deeply-trusted friend (maybe you both do the meditation and then discuss!) are all valid ways of exploring these prompts. As is just letting the experience be and seeing how your thoughts develop over the coming days.
Ways I can support you, if you need
If you’ve enjoyed Hibernate and you’re curious about my approach and offerings, here are a few ways I can support you…
January Offers:
The Clearing* - I currently have £50 off this single clarity coaching session. This is a 90 min coaching session ideal for when you have one specific question or area to focus on. We prepare beforehand with some focus-finding questions, then dive into your session where I coach with you to find deep, exhale-inducing clarity; we then have a catch-up call a few weeks later for added support.
*Especially supportive for when you’re beginning to emerge from hibernation and would love space held for you whilst you get super-clear about what you’re calling in this year or next season. Offer valid for Jan & Feb 2025 bookings. Subject to availability. Book here.
For when you’re emerging:
Root into the Year Workshop - please don’t be tempted to jolt yourself out of your hibernation before time, but for when you do begin emerging, my Root into the Year workshop is a gentle foot into the year and a claiming of it for yourself, through grounding practices and crafting your very own heart-centered, soulful manifesto, helping you send roots down into 2025. Usually
£25. Currently £15 - Buy here.

Coach with me
My deepest heart-work!
Through 1:1 coaching I can support you when you’re feeling stuck, lost, lacking direction or self-doubting. In this work, I meet your exactly where you are and support you to find the movement you need, whether that’s deepening your sense of Self, growing your trust in yourself and your self-belief or figuring out how you’ll thrive inside your motherhood and life. Often it’s some of all of this and I’m so here for this important work.
Unfurl - 1:1 Coaching* - we can coach together over 3, 6 or 12 months and you’ll find more details here
*I currently have 2 spaces available for 1:1 coaching. If you’re curious about having this kind of support, you can book in a free, exploratory chat with me here - I’d love to meet you!
Circle Magic
Held, my 6-month women’s circle journey, is a beautiful, supportive container for mums and those who hold others and includes monthly Sharing Circles, Co-journaling Hours and Wisdom Fire Circles. There is such magic within!
Join the waitlist for the next Held journey, beginning in the second half of the year.
Retreat-dreaming
In my own winter-dreamstate, I’m exploring the possibility of hosting a retreat this year. I used to hold them for Mums in a magical woodland in Herefordshire and I miss it so!
Join the interested list here if you might love this and, if I decide to make it happen, you’ll be first to hear!
Lovely one, I’ve so enjoyed sharing Hibernate with you this Winter season…
I hope you’ve found within this series some of the inspiration and support you needed to help you sink into your own desire to hibernate. And that you’ll write yourself the permission slips you need to seek out what might fill you up to the brim. You deserve to feel filled up.
Thank you for following along with me whilst taking this time for yourself. I would love to hear what you’ve enjoyed or found here, if you want to hop into the comments!
As I continue to hunker down, I'm sending warm cups of something lovely and piles of blankets, from my cosy Winter’s nest to yours. May the rest of your winter be all that you need it to be. Take care, lovely.
