Some top tips ready for the ice from our dear friends at The Forge ❤️🙏
Breaking the ice for a dip may look like brilliant fun, but it is a risky business. In our blog this week, we share our ten top tips for staying safe when the water freezes over.... here's a summary:
1. Never dip alone
2. Don't walk on the ice
3. Hands before axes
4. Acclimatise well in advance
5. Eat before and after
6. Protect your body
7. Know your spot
8. Stay within your depth
9. Don't go under the ice
10. Dress quickly, warm up slowly
Mums been gone for over 11 years.
And yet she is never far away.
My hands stop me in my tracks most days.
They capture her in a moment. Her in me and me in her.
Especially as I get older, we appear to get closer,
As if time is folding us back together.

Are you breathing?

Fascinating stuff here and absolutely not news to us.
We still find it wild that these beautifully mushrooms grow naturally in our fields, are free and aren’t addictive, yet consuming them is seen as wrong or bad.
Meanwhile alcohol is legal (for example), and man-made pharmaceuticals that can be addictive, cost a lot and can come with horrific side effects are somehow fine.
If this is something you're curious about, get in touch.
Psilocybin appears to alter brain networks linked to repetitive negative thoughts, which may explain how the drug helps to treat some mental health conditions

Hey you, feeling a bit lost right now?
Maybe you’ve got ideas but no plan.
Maybe you’re spinning your wheels, waiting for something to click.
Or maybe you just need one focused day to breathe, think and figure your s**t out (I can't be on my own with that?!)
On Monday, I’m running a full-day online workshop called “Make a Bloody Good Plan.”
It’s grounded in neuroscience and NLP, designed to get you out of your head, into your body, and moving forward with clarity.
You’ll:
✨ Get clear on what you actually want
🧠 Learn how your brain + body impact your motivation
💬 Work with others who are ready for change
🗺️ Leave with a real plan (and the energy to follow it through)
You can join from anywhere in the world.
Sliding scale pricing - £45 / £75 / £95, no questions asked.
It’s a simple, powerful day to press pause and make sense of what’s next.
If that’s what you need - Monday’s the day.

Bodlondeb Retreat is a beautifully converted old stable nestled beneath the rolling hills of North Wales. The Retreat offers a rustic yet modern design, with an adaptable studio space and accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests across 3 bedrooms - making it the perfect space for a mindful getaway.

We have three functions:
Home to Both Feet Retreat: professional intensive actor training course
Bodlondeb Retreat: Courses for amateur actors and anyone wanting to boost confidence, encourage spontaneity and develop their mental well-being.
Available to hire: creatives, theatre companies, artists and well-being practitioners looking to rent an inspiring space with on-site accommodation.
Who are we?
The retreat is run by husband and wife duo Steph and Iain, with a helping hand from their two small children Fox (2 years old) and Pip (6month old). Steph is an entrepreneur, NLP Practitioner and mBit coach, theatre director and acting coach who specialises in The Meisner Technique. She is the founder & company manager of Both Feet Actor Training, training professional actors all over the country with a focus in Leeds and Manchester. Iain was a chef, kitchen manager and food developer for nearly 15 years but hung up his whites in 2018 to be the main carer for the children, allowing Steph to focus on her teaching, directing and running the family business.
