We all need to feel grounded, safe, connected and at home with ourselves. When we lose our connection, we need the tools to find our way back. We can do this in many ways, such as through our friendships, yoga, meditation, sound, nature - and plenty more! I am grateful for all of these and feel such a strong sense of coming home through trees. This picture is from a couple of weeks ago, I was feeling emotionally tender and the support from this tree regulated and nourished me, I am very thankful for it and told it so on the day!
However, this is my favorite tree (maybe we shouldn't have favorite trees), it's solid and steady, and shy and hidden but this old yew tree is magnificent and holds its space in the heart of Stanmer Woods. Whenever I visit Stanmer I say hello and on my day retreats at The Earthship, we often hold a nature connection practice with this tree, befriending, exploring and simply spending some time in its company. Even bringing it to mind makes me smile. Is there a tree that feels like home to you? - I'd love for you to share or send me a picture x
I'm very happy - we will be visiting it again soon. The first day retreat in Stanmer Park - Yoga and Nature Connections workshop of 2025 is on 6th April - 10-4pm, it's a wonderful day of accessible practices, community, nature and moving through practices to connect to your home.
