Monday evening's Jane Varcoe ....embarking on an incredible journey!
Lots of luck Jane....
C

A Standish nurse is ticking off 60 achievements for her 60th birthday to raise money for charity - including cycling around 4 countries.
Jane Varcoe is cycling from London to Paris - before going on to bike across Holland and Belgium before arriving back in England and finishing in Norfolk - as part of the bucket list and is fundraising for Wigan Hospice and a sailing club.
Eight fellow members of Standish Cycling Club will join her on the ride - setting off from the London Eye on July 24th.
Jane says on her fundraising page: “As part of my 60th Birthday year celebrations, I am trying to do 60 things I have never done before.
“I am cycling from London to Paris with a group of cyclists from Standish Cycling Club and arriving in time to watch the last stage of the Tour de France around the Champs-Elysées.
“I then decided to add an additional leg, starting from Lille, which is the start of the first stage of the TDF. We will be cycling from Lille to Antwerp, then onwards to Rotterdam before crossing the English Channel.
Good luck Jane and team!

A VISION
In September 2022, while on retreat in a remote corner of Spain, I spent some time creating a map of my vision for The Den, a five year dream.
I set timelines and created more focussed lists, and since then I have been edging towards "it".
Some things evolved quite naturally, some things took a lot more effort. Some things worked straight away, others were tried, didn't work, and then tried again.
Some things happened more quickly than I expected, others things seemed to take the longest time.

But all with my vision in mind, and a strong determination to make it happen.

I came across these pages while looking for something else, and with huge delight (and a decent pinch of pride) I realised that I am there.
I realised that from September, once pregnancy and postnatal yoga become a regular feature at The Den, my dream has become a reality.

Does that mean that the journey is done, that I will sit back on my heels?
Not at all, in some ways I feel like I'm only just beginning

But I am going to step back for a moment and enjoy with the biggest smile on my face....

RETREATING
For me, the last couple of weeks have had the focus on RETREATING.
Over midsummer's weekend, I hosted the most recent of my weekend retreats at Lighthouse Barn....a weekend of escape, filled with yoga, meditation, contemplation and rest.
And plenty of delicious food with wonderful company.
One of my favourite ways to share my practice, and always a joy.

Then, last week, I took myself on my own little retreat: 2 nights at Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa. Just me.
Oh my. It was heaven!
I slept (a lot), I enjoyed delicious food, and indulged in amazing massage treatments. All with the most wonderful company....ME!

I've always loved a spa break, with family or friends, but this was a first for me. Precious time, where the only person I needed to consider was me.
Luxurious? Yes.
Will I do it again? Too right.
Am I worth it? Always.....

If you like the idea of RETREATING, then why not try one of my DAY RETREATS
Sunday 6th July, 10-3
Tuesday 8th July, 9:30-2:30
(Book online...)
Because you are most definitely worth it too
