Our magical new apprentice, Naomi Alice is settling in very well. It’s a big deal when you leave your biz baby in the hands of others, but with the right people it is such a joy beyond when they take ownership and initiative and you get to watch them bloom and thrive!
Lovely work and message today, Naomi, well done!

Success isn’t always what you think it is.
I arrived in London with a Seat Ibiza, a duvet, £20, and a bin bag of clothes. I had a vision, and I made it happen—everything I imagined and more.
But here’s what no one tells you: success without soul feels hollow.
You can tick every box, hit every milestone, and still feel lost if you’re not following your true north.
Real success? It’s not about the title, the house, or the bank balance. It’s about alignment—living in tune with your purpose, your heart, and what actually lights you up.
So, ask yourself—whose version of success are you chasing?
Because if it’s not yours, it’s never going to feel like enough.
Lisa Marie
P.s. 6 months after this wedding and photo was taken I had a great spiritual awakening - because I wasn't following my true north. Queue deeep, dark night of the soul and deep solitude and self exploration for the next 4 years.
Best thing I ever did.

Hello, I’m Monika—The Magic Maker, Story Weaver, and Keeper of Wonder. 🌿✨
Stories have been woven into my life since childhood. My mum told me I spun tales as soon as I could speak and created worlds through play and imagination. Now, I weave stories filled with mindfulness, kindness, and wonder, offering them as gifts to the world.
🌿 Crafting Story Circles for Connection:
Through my Story Circles, I create spaces where hearts gather—where stories become bridges and souls meet. These circles are a return to the ancient magic of storytelling—a place to share, listen, and heal through words.
🌿 Creating Magic and Potions with Wonder:
As a teacher of magic and potions at Conkers Earth Magical Academy, I spark imagination through play, creativity, and wonder. Potions, like stories, hold power—the power to inspire joy, curiosity, and awe.
🌿 Teaching English with Heart:
As an English teacher, I nurture the voices of my students, empowering them to express themselves with confidence and clarity. Language is a portal to understanding and connection.
🌿 My Mission:
I believe that stories and magic belong in our everyday lives. Through my Story Circles, potions, and English lessons, I help children and adults reconnect with their creativity, their voices, and the wonder of the world around them.
Come and share the magic with me. ✨

The Telepathy Tapes
Have you listened yet? is here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. This podcast has been in my heart for so long, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Since opening , I’ve felt called to share this, because this is our world—our reality—and it feels so significant that this is coming to light now. It aligns perfectly with the deeper vision of everything we are building at Conkers Magical Earth Academy, nestled within Rock & Rose Rituals.
Right now, our academy is small, like a seedling, but the vision is vast. At its core, this is a safe haven for extraordinary children—those who are so often misunderstood, given labels like autism or ADHD. Here, we call it *Awesomeism.* These children are tuned into higher dimensions. They hold gifts and senses that reach far beyond what most people know how to see or understand.
I know this intimately because I was one of these children. When I was at primary school, my teachers thought there was something wrong with me. But I could hear and see what others couldn’t. Even then, I knew that one day, I would create a school for children like me—a place where they could feel seen, honoured, and celebrated.
At CMEA, we meet so many remarkable souls. Non-verbal children come to us and find ways to communicate through us. Some can see Beings that many of us are not yet able to perceive. One nine-year-old boy even demonstrated x-ray vision. These experiences aren’t unusual here—they’re part of the magic we witness every day.
This is our normal, and we welcome it with open hearts.
If you’re a parent of one of these gifted children, I invite you to listen to on Spotify or YouTube. It’s a powerful lens through which to understand the incredible gifts these children hold.
If you’re in Dorset & curious about what we’re creating here, please reach out. And if you feel called to this field of education or already work within it, I’d love to hear from you. Together, we can nurture spaces where these extraordinary children are seen, celebrated, and cherished. They are here to teach us, to remind us of the unseen, and to guide us into a new way of being.
