I'm really excited to share that on Sunday the 21st may, I will be hosting a whole immersive day of yoga Nidra and ecotherapy at Borgie log cabin, borgie from 10am to 5pm. A unique opportunity to explore eco nidra- a brining together of deep meditation, mindfulness, stillness and sensory exploration. The day includes delicious chef cooked veggie/vegan lunch and snacks and costs £60 per person. Let me know if you are interested and or would like more information. Maximum group size is 8 and minimum is 4, we like to keep it cosy! My email is [email protected]. I am back in Scotland next week. I've tried to create an event on the iPad for it on fb and failed miserably but will do so on the laptop when I return as well as put more information on the website. It will be such a special day, I hope you will be able to join me! Much love, peace and light to you all, lauren. Let's join together in these challenging times and celebrate who we are and the light within!

I've just read these words and wanted to share them with you. Death and life have been very present with me lately as they should always be-one encircles the others- my nan recently passed away and at times like these I seek answers in nature and in wordsmiths such as the great rabindrinath Tagore who used so many beautiful analogies form the natural world to explain human life, suffering, pleasure pain. Ones we can all easily understand.
from the Gitanjali:
'I was not aware of the moment when I first crossed the threshold of this life.
What was the power that made me open out into this vast mystery like a bud in the forest at - midnight?
When in the morning I looked upon the light I felt in a moment that I was no stranger to this world, that the inscrutable without name and form had taken me in its arms in the form of my own mother.
Even so, in death the same unknown will appear as ever known to me. And because I love this life, I know I shall love death as well.'
I hope these words echo with you as they do with me. To embrace both life and death and to see both unknowns as the known aspects of our lives is a gift indeed.

A great time was had by all at the last Wee Wild bunch session for this year. We escaped the midges and went to the beach! there was fire, making and cooking bread and popcorn, lots of stone rolling and making flags. Lots of fun.

Creativity in the wood with homemade elder and charcoal pencils. A great way to engage children with mark making, transforming materials, utilising natural resources for a very practical task and connecting them on a deeper level with the world around them. Create wonder and joy and a bit of magic and see what happens!

Outdoor magic.......explore time, sleep time, creative time.......... timeless time where one minute can seem like an hour and a day like a second, passing in a heart beat as all the senses are fully stimulated, awake and alert. Everyone needs timeless time. How to achieve it? Step outside and breathe 😌

Enabling your children to explore, get muddy and have fun outside helps to build resilience as well as a deep connection to something far greater than themselves, supporting them to see the bigger picture, an invaluable life skill which will serve them well. Whatever the age, being outside in whatever weather will stimulate them and provide an exciting sensory experience. Hide and seeks in the trees, making mud pies, laying down on the earth, simple activities which they will love and remember. So get them out there and let them be wild!
