What a wonderful Fungi Appeciation Walk ar Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation Ulverscroft Manor Woodland this morning! We gazed deep into the leaf litter, browsed through mossy nooks and discovered an amazing variety of colour, shape and size.
We were so engrossed that we covered only a tiny distance through the woodland before it was time for a cuppa and a flick through the library.
It was a wonderful, mindful way of spending Samhain outdoors, immersed in the sensory pleasures of autumn.

A perfect way to find a little peace in a busy life.

If you're at work in the week and would like a similar experience on a Saturday or Sunday, just comment your preferred day and if there is enough interest I may do it again 🍂🍁🍄

Samhain Blessings!

In the Celtic tradition Samhain marks the end of one year and the beginning of the next. A time to honour the ancestors, light fires, have one last celebration with nature before the dark time of winter. It is a thin time where past, present and future meet and the Earth shows us that all of life is part of a great cycle where death is necessary for rebirth

See these darker days as an invitation to deepen your focus inwards, reflecting and dreaming. Allow the year that has passed to rest within you and settle, just as the fallen leaves blanket the earth in preparation for what follows.

Ok, so I haven't left very long to get this in - I did intend to post this about 3 weeks ago, but life (and a new puppy) slightly got away from me.

Any how, I'd like more people to write to, so if you fancy it, sign up to my mailing list to be in with a chance to receive a free EcoNidra recording. Ideally you'll hear from me monthly, but in real life it will probably be every 6-8 weeks. I won't spam you and I won't share your information. And it's dead easy to unsubscribe if you hate it (or just get too many emails).

Follow the link and add your email. And maybe give a little share or tag to someone who might be interested too. Please, thank you!

I took a short walk around Ulverscroft Manor yesterday and paid close attention to what was hiding in plain sight. Out of the shades of brown leaf litter, springing from vibrant mossy logs and nestled into long dewy grass appeared such a variety of shapes, sizes and colours!

If you'd like to explore with me, learn how to slow down and really see what's there and share some resources to help identify parts of this amazing kingdom, why not join me on Friday 31st October at Ulverscroft Manor (Shuttlewood Clark Foundation)?

Lovely fungi season! Best time of the year to be tuned in to what's around you. One short walk, 2 excellent companions, a small rabbit-dropping hoover of a dog and all of this treasure. Happy days!

How much longer can we do this?

If you're interested in trying this deeply relaxing and nature connecting practise keep your eyes open for upcoming indoor and online sessions.

It was a wet Gather Together Friday but we had a fire and shelter so we were pretty comfortable.

It was good to chat with a cuppa on hand, enjoy the sound of rain on the tarp above us, and the changing season all around.

Lots of fungi making an appearance in our little corner as well.

Next one Friday 7th November 10-12.

At this time, day and night are equal. There is balance, a still point, even as change is happening at its fastest rate.

Take time to celebrate nature's abundance, time to celebrate the the energy that has carried us through summer.

Time then to begin the turning inwards, to anticipate rest and renewal as the nights grow longer and the days turn cooler. To set the seeds of intention for the new year, seeds that will sit in the cosy and protective darkness until it is time emerge with the returning light. Time to shed that which is no longer needed.

Time to be with the land, time to be in community.

Time to pause.

Time to reflect.
