✨✨✨D R E A M S C A P E✨✨✨

I have always had an ability to envision, imagine and create images.. when I was young it was described as a ‘vivid imagination’ which lead to being unable to sleep for most of my youth and often lead to seeking out someone to sleep alongside. Even in my adult life I’ve experienced waking to running full speed down the corridor, beings in my room, a punk rocker on my bed with a terrier dog and other weird and wonderful things that have driven my husband a little crazy!

Over the past decade, I’ve noticed that at certain times, my dreams alter. There is, what I’d describe as a ‘thinning of the veil’… both premenstrual and in the run up to full moon. It often feels like an energetic download or gifting of frequency - although it’s intense and sometimes exhausting, it always feels like I’m meant to receive something - even though often my analytical mind is confused 🤪 so being premenstrual and almost full moon 🌕 it’s not a surprise that last night was wild.

Recently I had the privilege of accessing a dream workshop with a Mexican healer. He explained how dreams can teach us something, give us a new perspective or can imbed us with new frequencies. I decided to be brave and share a recent dream - I dreamed of the Aurora and how the lights came down as light beings/ people that then were absorbed into me (and others)… he confirmed what I had suspected- an energetic infusion of energies/ an upgrade of frequencies. I felt deeply nourished and revitalised from this experience…

When I was at uni I studied dream work and have always had a fascination about the time we sleep - are dreams merely thoughts in colour or something else entirely? What are your thoughts? ✨

One of those moments when you feel the stars align and know the tapestry is already woven… such a magical day yesterday.

Human KIND always brings me hope and joy - finding light through difficulties, the support and guidance of each other. An honour to witness.

When we created the Sacred Pause Retreat day, we had a beautiful vision of what it could entail but couldn’t have possibly dreamt up the magic of yesterday.

Favourite phrase of the day, ‘it was just perfect’

A big heart smile 😊 and then as we cleared the day away and said our goodbyes, arrived to offer their magic. Moving into a reiki training weekend… beautiful. Sarah weaving magic in the kitchen throughout, nourishing us all. So grateful.

Grateful to the Acorn that holds us all 🙏🏻

Celebrating life. 50 years of Debbie on this planet. Her magic, her love, her devoted service ✨

Utterly grateful to call you a wife and a dear friend. To walk this path with you is a deep honour - and to have you at my side in Acorn life is the glistening cherry on top - the glue, the weaver, the orchestrator of magic 🙏🏻

Today is about you, beautiful Debbie… May you receive the love you deserve… you are so loved ✨

Thank you for always being at my side through everything - the moment I met you, pregnant bumps in the drs surgery (17.5 years ago) I felt a deep connection to you - and now sharing our daily life, trials , celebrations I understand this magnetic force - watching you flourish and shine is a deep honour. Love you xx

In a world full of noise there is so much to be found in the silence. Of sitting together, sharing in the light - this abundant light that craves to be drawn upon, to replenish and restore, to beam out as rays in the darkness ✨

When I first received the vision of holding a reiki circle, I had no idea what to expect. I trusted and allowed it to unfold - so grateful to have such remarkable souls that trust into these unfolding offerings - you make it possible ✨

I believe reiki should be shared and taught in schools, to young and old - it’s a wonderful tool to support wellbeing, spiral growth and collective raising of light. Which is deeply needed in this world ✨

Offering the Gayatri Mantra as a restorative healing felt so beautiful today. Each and every sound, a seed for light, an awakening to our divine nature ✨

This beautiful stone acorn has recently been gifted to The Acorn. I have found the intuitive place is on the alter of every ceremony/ workshop offered. To give thanks and honour the sacred lands of this wondrous place ✨🙏🏻

Be the light ✨

As I sat in stillness before our circle gathered last night, that old voice came whispering. The one that reminds me of my 13 year old self who played the piano in front of an audience and lost all the notes. The voice that questions me, asks me why I think I could possibly even consider what I am doing 🤔

And then I know. I can hear these whisperings. So who is hearing them? I gently feel into what’s here and why? It’s the ego. The one that tries to keep me safe that reminds me, it’s not been ok to stand out, be different or be heard - in my past and perhaps the past of many lifetimes before… the conditionings of our society 🙈

So what do I do with it all? I quietly focus on the why? Why am I offering this space? What is my intention? And suddenly, my resistance melts away. It’s not about me. It’s not about if I sound right or play all the correct notes. It’s about BEing together and raising the collective light. It’s about holding space for people to feel the presence and embody it. To allow time to connect to their own soul light and to express this light if they wish to 🙏🏻

After the ceremony, I felt so grateful to have taken the time to listen to the whisperings because what came from the evening was a pure bliss in sitting with courageous souls ✨

We have one room left for our three night retreat 9-12th March. This is an opportunity to come home to yourself and to weave in practices to support your wellness into each day.

Come to The Acorn to be inspired, nurtured and nourished. We have created an Acorn Retreat with many of the Acorn crew woven into the 4 day tapestry of events.

As the final days of Winter ebb away, feel the magic of this time of year by embracing these nurturing energies before Spring begins to awaken new life.

Begin each day with the opportunity to ground on the sacred Earth and witness the dawn of a new day with warming tea in hand.

Find balance through our gentle itinerary of breathwork, sound, rituals, cacao, yoga, holistic therapies, herbal learning, walking, homemade skincare workshop and nature ceremonies with opportunities to rest and just be amongst the beautiful energies of this healing space. Find rejuvenation in the heat facilities of sauna and steam, braving the icy waters of the ‘Scottish shower’ to renew your whole self.

Be nourished by inspired plant foods from our vegan chef in our Heartwood kitchen - dropping in to learn cooking tips and plan new culinary magic.

Find yourself in deep healing sleep in one of our beautiful bespoke bedrooms with luxurious bedding, cosy dressing gowns and the gentle sounds of nature.

Imbolc and full moon blessings ✨

✨Barefoot on the earth.

✨Witnessing the nature and life around - hearing the blackbirds morning chorus for the first time in months (epic timing).

✨Honouring the sacred medicine of cacao and opening to her magic and wisdom.

✨Allowing Om Mani Padme Hum to guide the light into my heart. To brighten and nourish the light of the lots flower at my heart, to bathe in it and to feel the expansion to the places most needed.

✨And then sinking into blissful stillness, feeling into and honouring the presence. Towards the end of the meditation the song played in my head ‘I am the light of my soul, I am bountiful, I am beautiful, I am bliss’… this song feels so supportive of the light and strengthening energies ✨

We are half way from winter solstice and ostara - spring equinox… the earth is potent with energies, nourishing the seeds in the dark comforting soil. The air is beginning to stir with birdsong. Taking time to recognise and honour these moments brings great joy to my life - blessings to you ✨
