Retreat

” The good of going into the mountains is that life is reconsidered”                          Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

 

Retreat in the sanctuary of nature at oakwellbarns

Sweet tasting well water. Woodsmoke, crackling fire. Expansive clear starlit dark skies. Fresh perspective from the height of mountainous green hills. Walks with 360 degrees vision, nearby waterfalls and industrious creative folk in the surrounding hills. Breath, wind, air. Owls, bats, badgers, foxes, hares. Trees, earth. Growth, decline, decay, birth. Swallows, buzzards, red kites. Clean air, changing clouds, big skies to refresh and rest your eyes.

My own heart is warmed with invigorated spirit, beautiful, big skies, nurturing, nourishing, soul-full” Diana-London

Sleeping in the tent really reminded me of who I am and where I come from-love and earth

Absolutely lovely food, great to eat in group and with such great sisters and brothers

I’ve felt most nourished in your presence and by your ways. To share is to love but it is not always I come across true, honest lovely sharing. To spend time here gives strong root means clear upright way of being. I have experienced this during these days and nights here” Mattias-Sweden
