Hello

I'm Sophie, the creator of Woven Earth.

Woven Earth was never part of a big business plan. It has grown slowly over time, through a mix of life experience, a deep connection to Nature, my own healing journey and a desire to help others feel whole again.

For years, I didn't have a clear direction of what I wanted to do, I was desperate to find my purpose. I tried many jobs, I even owned a successful dog grooming business for years, but something always felt missing. When chronic back pain forced me to give it up, I took it as a sign from the universe to pause, heal and rediscover who I truly was.

A transformative trip to Peru was what eventually shifted my perception - I had been searching so long externally for answers only to realise, everything I needed was within me - (puke - cheesy I know, but it's true!)

My purpose wasn't a single thing to find, or an end goal, it was the journey itself - it was all the things I had been doing outside of 'work' - my interests. As is true for all of us - we just have to follow our joy, what lights us up is our purpose, our contribution to the world.

And so Woven Earth was born. It started with Reiki - my years spent dog grooming gave me opportunity to listen to many books on energy, spirituality, quantum mechanics and everything in between, this fuelled my fascination for how energy works and led me to becoming a Reiki and Seichim practitioner.

Next came the monthly Moon and Cacao ceremonies. I had already trained as a Cacao facilitator simply to deepen my connection to the plant medicine and learn everything I could about it. It was during that time I was introduced to shamanic journeying (entering an altered state of consciousness) my first experience of this blew my mind and opened up a whole other world - quite literally! When in an altered state you can visit unseen realms and meet your spirit guides. It sounds crazy to the western world but it is something our ancestors would have done often, before we lost our connection to the natural world. Many cultures around the world are still very much in touch with shamanic practices and I believe collectively we are slowly finding our way back to it.

Being able to receive help from my own guides has been a huge part of my own journey. It was never something I imagined sharing, I was too embarrassed to speak about it openly, but at the start of 2024 I was given a very clear message that it was time to share.

I decided to combine Cacao, journeying and astrology (another passion of mine that I have been studying via multiple teachers, courses and books) into one single offering - New Moon and Cacao Circle. I'm so glad I didn't let my embarrassment stop me - I love witnessing people meet their guides and find comfort in the community that's created at these circles.

I will continue to weave my interests and things I learn along the way into new offerings, as I believe that is what I am here to do.

So far I have gained a level 3 qualification in Ethnobotany - teaching me how to identify over 100 different plant and tree species and their traditional uses. I continue to attend foraging classes and make herbal remedies, there is always more to learn when it comes to plants!

I completed a course in intuitive herbalism which opened my eyes to the world of plant communication and connected me to my own intuition on a deeper level.

Also, I'm currently in my first year of training to become a shamanic practitioner, furthering my knowledge of the unseen realms and learning new ways to enhance my 1:1 energy healing sessions.

These may seem like lots of separate things, but to me they are all threads, creating the web of my purpose.

Woven Earth continues to grow and evolve, helping people re-wild, heal and find their true selves, because behind it all, my biggest take away from my years of searching for meaning, is the fact that WE ARE NATURE, and everything in nature has a built in purpose, a blueprint - acorns know to grow into Oak trees, baby turtles know how to find their way to the sea, and back again to lay their own eggs years later - we too are born knowing what to do. Sometimes we just need a little help remembering.

I hope this gives a better understanding of the mission behind Woven Earth, and how I may be able to help with your own unique journey.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

If you have any questions or insights, I would love to hear from you!
