I started this blog five years ago to record our journey towards an off-grid lifestyle… It’s taken various detours along the way but hopefully provided an interesting read to our handful of followers… So although I haven’t written anything for a while, this year has seen us take a potentially huge leap forward in thatContinueContinue reading “A New Chapter…”

Emerge
Spring is my favourite time of year. It brings with it an awakening and unfurling from the darkness of winter… as new shoots of life start to break the surface… both in the mind and in the world around us…
Changing Seasons
Is it just me or do we all have slightly different perspectives as to how/when the seasons change? For instance… we’re currently reaching the end of the “summer holidays” and many of you with children I’m sure will be making the most of the last few days before school routines return with the start ofContinueContinue reading “Changing Seasons”
Signs of Summer
As I sit here watching the rain pour down the windows it feels like summer is still a long way away… but outside the natural world is blossoming and vibrant…
Well-Being in Nature
Join me for a walk in the woods and learn how nature can help you find more peace, inner calm and clarity of mind. The physical and mental health benefits of spending time outdoors is well documented. Being close to nature just feels good – we instinctively know this, which is why our leisure timeContinueContinue reading “Well-Being in Nature”

New Beginnings… again… and again!!
It’s always tricky when I’ve not posted anything for several months… not knowing quite how to begin again! Do I acknowledge or make excuses for the huge four month gap? Or just dive in again as if it was only last week? …Or waffle on a bit about not knowing how to begin!!! It’s soContinueContinue reading “New Beginnings… again… and again!!”
Reiki… as I see it!
A few months back a new client told me that she had been wanting to try reiki for years but didn’t know very much about it. She asked if there was some information on-line that she could read prior to our appointment. I didn’t quite know what to say… there’s loads of stuff out thereContinueContinue reading “Reiki… as I see it!”
The Art of Doing Nothing
There’s been a bit of a theme in this blog over the past few months… about slowing down, lowering the expectations I put on myself and letting go of a ‘need to achieve’… The circumstances that were forced upon us in March induced a much steadier pace of life and a re-organisation of priorities, allContinueContinue reading “The Art of Doing Nothing”
