Come and join us for an online celebration of Earth Day in sound Earth Day - The Paradise Codes (online) 22nd April 2026 at 7.30pm UK time.

The event will be held on Earth Day, established in 1970 to raise environmental awareness. In 2010 our dear friend Susan Hale chose the same day of 22nd April to found the annual Earth Day Sing for the Trees event to create a global, perpetual love song for our trees.

In truth, every day is a day to celebrate this amazing planet we call home. We've found consistently that combining sound and intention has a positive, potent effect, both personal and planetary. By singing our love, thanks and respect in praise of the Earth, we are reminded of the abundance we receive from it and the interconnectedness of all beings.

When we tuned in to this year's Earth Day, the land whispered, "bring through the Paradise Codes ..."

Ostara… or just the Equinox?
We’ve already passed the Spring Equinox, yet more and more people are calling it Ostara — like they’re the same thing.
They’re not. Not historically.
The name “Ostara” is usually linked to a spring goddess, often with hares and fertility. Sounds nice… but there’s very little real evidence she was widely worshipped.
Most of it comes from Bede, who mentioned a figure called Eostre. That’s about it.
Later, Jacob Grimm explored the idea — but even then, no connection to the Equinox. If anything, her timing sat in April, not March.
The Equinox link? That’s modern.
Aidan Kelly named the Spring Equinox “Ostara” while creating the Wheel of the Year. It fit — so it stuck.
Now here’s the part most people don’t look at…
As Christianity spread through Europe under the Roman Empire, it didn’t just erase what was there — it absorbed it.
Existing seasonal festivals were reshaped and layered with new meaning to ease the shift into Christianity. Spring — already a time of fertility, renewal, and new life — became the perfect anchor point for Easter.
Even the name “Easter” is thought to come from Eostre.

Waves in the Mind by Shunryu Suzuki.

"When you are practicing meditation, do not try to stop your thinking. Let it stop by itself. If something comes into your mind, let it come in, and let it go out. It will not stay long. When you try to stop your thinking, it means you are bothered by it. Do not be bothered by anything. It appears as if something comes from outside your mind, but actually it is only the waves of your mind, and if you are not bothered by the waves, gradually they will become calmer and calmer.

Many sensations come, many thoughts or images arise, but they are just waves of your own mind. Nothing comes from outside your mind. Usually we think of our mind as receiving impressions and experiences from outside, but that is not a true understanding of our mind. The true understanding is that the mind includes everything; when you think something comes from outside it means only that something appears in your mind. Nothing outside yourself can cause any trouble. You yourself make the waves in your mind. If you leave your mind as it is, it will become calm. This mind is called big mind.

If your mind is related to something outside itself, that mind is a small mind, a limited mind. If your mind is not related to anything else, then there is no dualistic understanding in the activity of your mind. You understand activity as just waves of your mind. Big mind experiences everything within itself. Do you understand the difference between the two minds: the mind which includes everything, and the mind which is related to something? Actually they are the same thing, but the understanding is different, and your attitude towards your life will be different according to the understanding you have. [...]

Actually water always has waves. Waves are the practice of the water. To speak of waves apart from water or water apart from waves is a delusion. Water and waves are one. Big mind and small mind are one. When you understand your mind in this way, you have some security in your feeling. As your mind does not expect anything from outside, it is always filled. A mind with waves in it is not a disturbed mind, but actually an amplified one. Whatever you experience is an expression of big mind."

Ostara – The Hare’s Path (Mixed Celtic)
I follow the hare across the field,
Swift and quiet, never still.
She knows the turning of the land,
She moves where light and shadow meet.
An ghrian ag éirí, the sun returns,
And something in me softly stirs.
Beneath my feet, an talamh wakes,
Breathing life with every step.
I do not rush, I do not chase,
I walk with time, I trust the pace.
The hare runs on, and I feel the call—
To rise, to grow, to begin again.
Éirím anois, with open heart,
Fás i mo chroí, a brand new start.
With solas guiding all I do,
I step into the path made
Follow the hare, follow the light
Solas rising, day from night
Growth within, steady and slow
Fás within begins to grow
I rise now, I begin again
Éirím anois, like earth in spring

Reiki by the sea.
Salt air, steady breath, waves doing what waves do.
Energy softens, the body listens, the mind loosens its grip.
Nothing to fix. Nothing to force.
Just space, light, and the quiet remembering how to be.

Solstice Blessing
May the light that has grown quietly within you
now stand fully revealed.
May what no longer serves you
be gently released into the fire of this turning.
May your path be clear,
your heart steady,
and your next steps taken
with courage, warmth, and truth.
As the sun pauses,
so may you remember who you are.
Blessed be this turning of the light ✨
