We’ve made the decision to reschedule our Beltane Celebration and instead are going to hold a crafting and music event in the summer (new date coming soon ✨).

We want to make sure we can create the kind of experience you truly deserves, so rather than rush it, we’re choosing to give it the time and care it needs.

All tickets will be fully refunded, and we’ll share the new date as soon as it’s confirmed.

We understand this may be disappointing for those who were planning to join us, and we really appreciate your support.

That said… we’ll still be at the garden this Saturday from 1–4pm 🌿
If you’d like to come and have a wander, see the space, and get a feel for what’s growing here, you’re very welcome. We’ll have tea and biscuits on for an open afternoon.

And if you’ve been feeling the call to get involved…
We’re in a beautiful phase of building and shaping the garden, so if you’d like to lend a hand, share ideas, or just be part of bringing this space to life, we’d love to have you there.

Thank you for being part of what we’re growing here. We’re really looking forward to bringing this to life with you very soon 🔥

Step into the fire of Beltane.

A threshold.
A spark.
A call into the life that’s waiting for you.

Join us in the Zala Wellbeing garden for a day of creativity, connection, and rising energy as we welcome in the brighter half of the year.

Move through hands-on crafts, sit with a henna artist, share in a laid-back garden picnic, or simply arrive and feel your way into the space.

As the day builds, so does the energy.

We’ll gather around the Beltane fire for drumming, ceremony, and collective intention—a space that’s alive, expressive, and held.

Here, you’ll be invited to:
✨ Call in what you’re ready to grow, create, and become
🔥 Burn away what you’re ready to release

Expect rhythm.
Expect movement.
Expect a little bit of fire in your bones.

This isn’t about sitting quietly.
It’s about stepping forward.

Come as you are.
Leave ignited.

Crafts will be charged separately, all from £5-£7.

Henna is not included in this and artist will set her own price, starting from £5.

Please bring cash on the day for crafts.

This week I was honoured to hold ceremony with , and for the Children’s Fire.

Many of us came together to grieve, to process what so many carry, and to stand in care and protection for children and young people. To call an end to the abuse and harm they experience, and to remind ourselves that this part of life is delicate and sacred. We are here to protect them.

During the ceremony, Charlotte invited us all to speak out against harm when we see it. To protect the vulnerable in whatever way we can.

There are many ways to do this. If challenging something directly doesn’t feel possible, you can report it. You can be a safe person in someone’s life. You can be someone others know they can come to.
I’ve said it many times—secrecy is what allows abuse, harm and trauma to continue. Don’t be a secret keeper. Be brave. Break the cycle.

At the event I shared two free worksheets for emotional regulation and managing overwhelm. I’ve attached them here and can send them to anyone who would like them. Please share them. This knowledge should be accessible to everyone.

My next event will be on 2nd May, where we will be coming together to call in the future we want to live in. A space to focus on what we are building, not just what we are moving away from. You are very welcome to join us.

Things are changing beautiful ones. There are always people who want to do good. Find them when your faith feels shaken. Big love.

How often do check in with your partner or a loved one?

Hello, Caroline Melilli here!
I was never good at having difficult conversations before I met my husband, it seemed much easier to ignore things and hope they go away... but I've been getting better at it over the years and these days, it feels strange not sharing how or what I am feeling!
My husband and I have started doing "Tuesday chats". Pretty self explanatory stuff, we cosy up in the evening with a tea (or a wine depending on the mood), blanket, fairy lights and a record on.
We use that time to sync up our calendars, talk about any past or future plans but also more difficult subjects.
This week, I said "I really need our Tuesday chats early" so we sat down and I shared that I've been feeling quite overwhelmed recently. That everything was becoming too much and that the amount of things we had planned for the summer felt too much.
My husband agreed, and said he too had been feeling overwhelmed.
So we talked, looked at what plans could be moved or changed and came up with an evening routine where we will stop watching TV an hour earlier so that our bodies and minds can wind down better. In that hour, we plan on doing some stretches, a simple skin care routine and some journaling before bed. We talked and talked all evening and I went to bed feeling calmer than I have felt in weeks.
And you know what, something has lifted since that conversation! We are so excited, we have a plan and we feel like we are in this together which is lovely.
It's never easy starting a conversation like this, especially if you're not sure of what or how you are feeling... but sometimes just starting the conversation will help you find the words and feel seen and heard!

Attached is a little document to help you approach and navigate difficult conversations, and we are always here to listen or help you!

Wild teas 🍵🫖
Such a great way to get into foraging, though you will probably need to add some lemon juice and honey to make it taste less... herby! (add the honey when the tea has cooled down to get all the health benefits).
I've got some nettles, some red dead nettles and ground ivy that I get on my dog walk.
This is meant to be great for hay-fever, which i have started getting in the recent years and so far symptoms have been fine 😊
I'm pairing this with some honey from our village and drink it cool on a hot day like today! 🌿🌞

Hello everyone, Caroline here!
I felt a little wobbly last week due to having my contraceptive implant after 8 years of having it, and dealing with this hormonal imbalance affected/is affecting my eyes which has been very triggering because of my past issues with them.
I was also spending the entire weekend alone for the first time in my life, at the grand age of 30.
So what did I do? I took my basket, my knife and my dog Leela on foraging adventures!
I went out and thought I'd pick some plants I knew would help support my body through this big change.
Made nettles (which is brilliant for regulating hormones) , garlic mustard and ground ivy pesto, which I served with pasta, courgettes and broccoli. It was delicious and being out in nature never fails to help when I feel a bit low! I also made tea with the water I blanched my nettles in for extra goodness.
There’s nothing like foraging a nutritious meal to stop feeling powerless and start feeling in control of your life and health.
I actually credit a huge part of my recovery to foraging, because it gave me a purpose, got me out of the house and in nature when I was at my lowest, 3 and half years ago.
I'll be sharing more about my journey and foraging in the future, in the mean time I'll just remind you to do plenty of research and forage responsibly if that is something you're interested in 😊

Do you actively try to get out of you comfort zone?

Hello, Caroline Melilli here!
I am on a part of my healing journey where I actively try to get out of my comfort zone and this month has been the busiest for this so far!
I used to be so anxious that I struggled to get out of the house, couldn't get on the tube to get around London, I even stopped driving for a while and everything was a struggle.
I couldn't be away from my husband because it felt that he was my only safe space and the only one who understood what I was going through.
Fast forward 3 years and all of this seems like a lifetime ago, a distant memory!
These days, I am getting many opportunities to try thing, old or new, and if my first thought is "I probably couldn't do that" then I especially try to give it a go.
What's the worst that can happen? Worst case scenario, I can't do it but it isn't the end of the world. I could try again or just decide it isn't something I want to re-try.
I am yet to find something I haven't been able to do. Some things are easier than others of course... reverse parking in a tight spot while there's a car waiting behind me, that's not too difficult and is over quickly.
Driving my van to a hen do for an entire week end where I didn't know many people, flying by myself or spending an entire week end home alone are all big things that require some more work.
Writing this? Also out of my comfort zone!
For all of those, my brain's first reaction was to think "no way can I do this". But pushing myself to do all of them has proved me that I can do things, no matter how big or small!
Slowly, my brain is rewiring, I even get exited to try doing things that scare me and it makes me think "what else can I do?"
So, is there anything you can try to do to get you out of your comfort zone this week?

Picture of me practicing driving my van before having to drive 3 hours away for the hen do, because it's very big and I had never driven it by myself before!
