Taking Heart: a free Valentine’s session on self-compassion, understanding and kindness

This is an opportunity to offer a portion of this day for celebrating love, romance and connection to yourself with the intention of developing authentic self-compassion. We will begin with selecting Angel cards, going on to investigate the meaning of words like Spontaneity, Acceptance, Kindness and Connection, and moving into some gentle, dynamic exploration of how we can access such resources for ourselves in the year ahead.

Anyone is welcome to join, including babies and small children for those who are in the earlier stages of this kind of holding. Participant numbers are limited to 6-8 (depending on how many are accompanied small dependents) so sign up in advance stating whether or not you’ll be attending alone. This is a free session with donations towards the Moon initiative welcome to cover the hire cost of this beautiful workshop space (suggested £10 per person).

Alexa Edelist is a UKCP-registered psychotherapist, Couples Counsellor and Creative Director of Gems of Mazal - an initiative spanning almost two decades of blending creative action with therapeutic process and intention. You can find out more here about Alexa’s offering at Moon.

Taking Heart can sit as a stand-alone workshop or as a prequel to Alexa’s 12-week psychodrama psychotherapy group, From Equinox To Solstice: Evolving Kindness with the Sun, Moon and Internal Seasons, which begins on Tuesday 4th March 2025 and will run weekly from 9.30-11.45am at 20 Great Portland Street, London W1W 8QR. If you would like more information email me at  or call or SMS on 07850 304948.

📰 What’s the latest in Women's Health News 📰 ⭕ What’s in a Name? ⭕ Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). This change is important as it reclassifies the condition from a reproductive issue to a systemic endocrine and metabolic disorder. The removal of ‘cyst’ reflects an inaccuracy in terminology, as what this actually denotes is arrested ovarian follicles. The inclusion of ‘metabolic’ highlights that this condition can affect the whole body and should be treated as such. ⭕ Cancer Treatment Wins ⭕ The NHS is now offering a new targeted therapy (mirvetuximab soravtansine) for women and people living with ovarian cancer. The drug combines a ‘homing’ antibody with a cancer-killing medicine which attaches to ovarian cancer cells. This means that many living with ovarian cancer won’t have to suffer through chemotherapy. As patient Patricia Hill says, “it’s been incredibly positive… this is the first time that I’ve actually been able to get on with my life.” ⭕ English Caesarean Birth Rates ⭕ A recent report has highlighted that over 40% of births in England are now surgical, one of the highest rates in the world. This is an increase not reflected in other European countries or the USA. The report cites “demographic, health, social and health system changes in England”. However, this has not been accompanied by an improvement in outcomes for babies and maternal deaths have increased. Find out more: Ambia, J., Alderdice, F., Knight, M., Rowe, R., Sanders, J. & Carson, C. (2026). Short report: International comparison of caesarean birth rates, 2020 – 2025. University of Oxford. ⭕ National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce ⭕ The independent investigation by Baroness Amos, which underpins the National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce, is due to release its final report with recommendations later this month. Following this, the Taskforce will publish a new national action plan for maternity care – watch this space.
