I have just had a weekend leading a Yoga retreat at Sycamores in the Carding Mill Valley, Shropshire. This photo was taken by one of the retreatee’s. It’s such a special place.
The weekend has prompted me to highlight spaces for connection and renewal …
October: Monthly Meditation Café
Space for stillness with like-minded friends. The morning starts with a warm drink and gentle conversation followed by guided and silent meditation. How we sit together is a response to the needs of the group.

- Embodied Health Hub, Long Ashton … my place!
