Hay cut at Satori....feel a bit sad as was so teeming with butterflies and grass hoppers....can you hear them? First poppy on the land in four years the day it happened...to commemorate? x
...this philosophy has definitely helped me evolve my dreams of getting a philosophy degree, becoming a reflexologist as well as evolving the healing retreat at Satori....challenging as stepping through my fears has been, and it has been challenging, the rewards are beyond words!...blessings and love for you and your dreams...make them a reality! xxx
Lovely lady :-) beautiful words to remind us to be kind to ourselves...life is tough enough! x
This is exactly what I believe and am offering. The simple thing in life are so important, and Nature is it...our path to true healing x

This is a fabulously beautiful part of the world where you are surrounded by nature.
Tucked away, you can escape your usual routine and explore the fields and woodland here.... idyllic!
I learnt so much on the recent wild foraging outing in this stunning and peaceful land.
Emma has a passion for sharing her vast knowledge of the native plants around us and a humble awareness that our experiences and relationships to them are constantly changing too. Her eloquence of expression was wonderful to listen to.
Encouraged to walk in silence through the land & staying attentive to our feelings as we approached each plant was refreshing and beautiful.
Holding the leaves of different plants in my palm & finding a place of stillness within me, I was amazed how much each plant affected me in different ways...physically & emotionally. A powerful remembering of how much there is to learn when we take time to listen.
I enjoyed the slow pace of the afternoon & yet was surprised that time too had slowed which is a wonderful feeling these days for most of us!
A truly special afternoon that I cannot recommend enough. Thank you Emma xx
An amazingly beautiful place which has been carefully and lovingly brought into being a space for reflection nurturing and restoring balance to both the surroundings and the people who visit. HIghly recommend!
