The Roundhouse

"  I have been trying, wanting, reaching and waiting for that right time to write… so, I guess it is now! I cannot tell you how extraordinary that first ever yoga class with you was… it completely shifted my transcendent existential journey to the next level.  " J Bly

"I joined Moonsisters in 2019 having had a strong desire to find a woman’s group as I turned 50. 

It’s been one of the most important and best decisions I’ve ever made. ❤️

I am so truly grateful and utterly blessed and feel so lucky that all the stars aligned and I found myself amongst dearest soul sisters, weaving, growing, learning, opening, loving, playing with such deep trust and holding. Set amongst the Roundhouse magic with our dearest tori ❤️ at the helm, with all her gifts she so generously shares. It’s safe, it’s nurturing, it’s sisterhood in its deepest form, it’s the best!"

"I joined Moonsisters in 2018 and am so glad I did. There is such a safety and constancy in being part of a circle that is held so well. Tori has a real gift for knowing intuitively what ideas and ceremonies to bring each month. It’s as if she brings a spark and then the fire grows between us all. And there’s a real bond of love and holding amongst all the women, so we can bring our most vulnerable parts but only if and when it feels right. I have definitely changed since being a Moonsister - my trust and joy in being a woman has really grown. I now understand the receptive strength we bring to the world and I feel so much more rooted as a result. "

"Also honoured to be a Moonsister, The work you do Tori is deeply profound and I would highly reccomend women to work with you in this group. Your grounding, sense of inner security, depth of wisdom and your ability to see, impart and hold has been such a gift to me. I am so grateful to you, our dear sisters and the wider Roundhouse community" Deborah Magonet Integrative Arts Therapist

"I have had the fortune & honour to be a Moonsister for the past 7 years ✨
Over that time the group has grown & changed - relationships deepening, different women bringing their own unique energies to the group, and the whole time Tori has skilfully held & supported the space for us all in our togetherness ❤️ It has been a real place of belonging for me, feeling at home with myself & others. I leave each session feeling safe, heard & rejuvenated. I’m then able to take that feeling out into the rest of my life with the knowing I have all this support behind me 🙏🏻
I would highly recommend joining MoonMelissae if you wish to find a greater connection with your true self, with nature and feel part of a true sisterhood" Farida Siddique- Charlick Cranio Sacral Therapist

"I have been part of Moonsisters for 3 cycles and even though I only knew one person when I joined I felt completely safe and loved by everyone in the group. Through the gentle yet powerful ceremonies that Tori creates, together we journey through a wonderful healing processes. I have been able to release layers of trauma and at the end of this cycle I felt I had come into a new consciousness or had a complete psychic change. I highly recommend Toris work" Mimi Secondary Art Teacher

"I’ve had and witnessed such wild transformations in Moonsisters for the 8 cycles i’ve been privileged to sit in circle - some women have come and gone over the years for whatever reasons but a core of us have remained and all who have journeyed with us past and present would probably agree that the lasting deep pure friendships that have evolved have been remarkable. It has been a place where you are truly seen in all your light and shadow and truly accepted for all those parts. That shadowy stuff that we all try and run from has been welcomed and celebrated and all through Tori's gentle hand leading us home, to ourselves. How exciting that a new group of women get to experience this gift. Truly an honour. " Nadia Lupo Project Manager

"So excited to know there will be a new women’s group opening up here ⭕️♥️. It has been, and continues to be a very special gift to myself, to be part of Moonsisters. Tori’s space holding is beautiful and honest and our evenings feel very safe for deep processing, re-membering, witnessing ourselves and being witnesses to others. Having been part of the Moonsisters group for 7 years, I feel I have a new layer around me. Hugely grateful for this experience in my Life. Thank you Tori, and sending love to the new group as it emerges and takes its own shape" Chloe Henegan. osteopath  

"I came across the Roundhouse just before the first lockdown in 2020. So serendipitous and such synchronicity, to find this community of like-minded authentic people, full of love, now my tribe, and hang out during such an auspicious period of time.

The Roundhouse is more than a community. It’s a home. The first time I stepped into the space I felt a huge sigh of relief. I did feel out of my comfort zone but I also felt deep down that the universe was introducing me to something so significant and an important next step on my healing journey. I felt something much bigger than me was pushing me. 

Tori is so welcoming to new and old comers alike. In my experience, she has a special way of making all feel welcome and special exactly as they are. 

The beautiful events such as conscious dance, pilgrimage, yoga, kirtan, workshops, etc. make me feel alive in a way I haven’t done in such a long time, almost childlike.  Being part of the Roundhouse community feels like a home coming, an initiation, almost like a rite of passage. Sitting in circle and sharing, baring my soul to others still makes me feel uncomfortable, pushing me to my edge but it’s ok and through this I’ve made deep connections and deep friendships. I’ve learnt how to trust again, allow myself to be vulnerable. No matter what I am feeling emotionally I have learnt that we all experience the same insecurities, emotions and this knowledge as well as being able to share in a safe space, where I feel truly held and loved, is so freeing. There has also been a lot of fun and laughter as well as the tears and I feel so much stronger and resilient. I’m growing all the time emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.

I am so grateful and feel so blessed. Thank you Tori for realising your vision for the Roundhouse Community. Thank you to everyone I have met so far. " Tracey Harper Nutritional Coach and Therapist

" The Roundhouse and its community have changed my life! A friend kept recommending I go there, and when I finally dipped my toe into a yoga session one pivotal morning, I quickly fell for the place. Very soon, that regular Friday treat became a highlight of my week. A place to make like-minded and inspiring friends, join beautiful gatherings - including Moonsisters - and embrace a new way of life. As the years went by, I slowly introduced my previously 'mainstream' family, who also felt the Roundhouse magic! Tori and the Roundhouse have become focal points for us all. Time spent there feels beautiful, purposeful, restorative, nurturing and full of community - a place to find your authentic self and connect with a meaningful way of life. Thank you, Tori and the magical Roundhouse - we love your unique offering to the world."

Judith Hurrell (author of The Moon Almanac and The Little Book of Witchcraft)

"The Roundhouse, what a gem to have found. A magical beautiful sacred space surrounded by stunning nature. So far I have enjoyed a range of amazing offerings such as conscious ecstatic dance, children’s yoga and summer camp, a shamanic sweat lodge, sacred ceremony, kirtan, family constellation and I have recently booked for a singing event also run by another incredible teacher. Such a gift to have a space in Hertfordshire to let go of the outside world, come together with like minded open hearted people, and reconnect. I'm very grateful.’ 

Roxana Noor (Woman and Girls Empowerment Coach)

“I love being in the Roundhouse. It’s beautiful, cozy and safe, like being in Mother Earth’s womb, connected to all the elements. It’s a space for nourishing experiences and the ripples of what we do there, send waves of goodness through me, and across the planet. Created, and held gently and powerfully by Tori's love and generosity for life on Earth.  Thank you. You have done so much for me, over the years. What we do at the Roundhouse has had such a profound effect on my life, I find putting it into words very difficult. Just thank you! “ 

Sylvia Baronin Von Hahn (Natural Voice Facilitator, Contact Improvisation Teacher and Wild Swimmer) 

"What a gift of life it has been to meet and co-create our wedding ceremony with Tori! She was totally brilliant from start to finish. Tori has excellent communication skills and showed genuine care and attention to our needs leading up to our ceremony. Not only did she spend time with us as a couple prior to our wedding day she also gave us individual healings which were of tremendous help to us both.

Our ceremony turned out to be an extraordinary, magical and powerful prayer for our family's happiness! We would not be able to do this without Toris' presence, wisdom and guidance.

So many people shared that it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they have ever been to. And it truly was! The day we will always treasure and remember. We are eternally grateful to you Tori!"

"Tori is a wise and sweet souI. I approached Tori with an idea; mostly a dream of something I had more feelings for than words. I wanted to reclaim my birthday, turn it into something beautiful and cathartic that would feel healing meaningful for me and my nearest and dearest. Tori magically weaved together all my feelings, the elements and facilitated pure alchemy. Her deep, grounded presence was offered through every stage of the journey from conception to birth. If you are looking for soul-level nourishment, then Tori is the perfect human for you."

- Jamie Abrams, Embodiment and Partner Yoga Teacher UK Dec 2021

"I met Tori at the 8/8 Lions gate pilgrimage in Summer 2022. Despite me joining pilgrims 2 days later, from the first moment I felt like being part of this huge, loving family. 

As it was my first ever pilgrimage, I was a bit worried if I can do it. However, throughout the whole journey I felt supported, safe, taken care of by the group and knew that senior pilgrims were always there, available for whatever was needed.

Our days of walking were filled with music, songs, magic, moments of group reflection and dream sharing, creating beautiful altars and rituals, family breakfast/lunch and dinner, nature appreciation, peaceful walking and so much more.

I will be forever grateful to Tori, Mark and others for organising transportation and transfers of camping gear, bringing delicious food and sharing their beautiful presence. 

What an amazing experience, what an amazing group of beautiful people. Thanks for allowing me to be part of this pilgrimage! ❤️"

"I experience Tori as a visionary, fearless and vulnerable, in a beautiful and real way. Her life is her healing, and that is what she offers, healing directly from the purity of her heart. I have seen Tori grown into her Medicine Woman Being throughout the years. The depth of commitment to her journey, the passion within which she enters the profound wisdom therein, shows in the way she is able to see to the heart of the matter, offer her frequency of spontaneity, creativity, and the encouragement to dare to be ourselves in the most pure, uncensored way. If there is anyone in my life that reflects back to me my own strength, wisdom and beauty, it is Tori. And that to me is a true medicine person". Gricel Salazar- Lewis (crainio Sacral practitioner) 

 
"I’ve had many different experiences with the round house community, from the annual pilgrimage to movement Monday’s and even living on the land there! I have found all of them to  be very heart opening. Tori is a perceptive space holder who manages to bring spirituality in a way that feels warm and fun :) Alexandra Schaefer
