The day was mellow and acorny. During the circle we asked (whilst passing the ‘talking acorn’ around, instead of stick) what did equinox mean to everyone/ what was their favourite part of this autumnal time of year? This conjured up a lovely selection of thoughts: letting go, space for the new, balance , equal night… Continue reading Elders week 2 – acorn planting

Sadly missing two early… Continue reading Strumpshaw
