New year new beginnings

Ok so here's my commitment to myself , this blog,  and our new venture Gwenhwyfar Garden, no excuses but the truth is I have found it a little difficult getting back into a routine since our trip .

Didn't help coming home on top of Christmas and still workers on site finishing things off, not what we had anticipated. However the good news is the work is now nearly finished , the rebuilt cottage well and truly road tested by my eldest son , his wife and baby son, all little niggles have come to the surface and we can get those sorted . 

The new conservatory on the back of Sunflower will now hopefully be finished within a fortnight . Progress indeed . So the practical side of things are getting sorted . I will make sure to devote some time each week to the blog and keep you updated, not necessarily daily but blog I will ! 

I have got  back to doing some sound healings  and gong baths with another scheduled  for tonight .We had some guests request one this morning which I have not long finished , so hopefully that is paving the way of things to come in this new year . Certainly it has been my intention all along that the guests who come will embrace our way of life .

Tonight's gong bath will focus on  the full moon which was so clear in the sky last night .

We will go down to Mwnt beach later where Marc Treanor will be making another wonderful sand circle .

It really is amazing what the universe sends us here . We just wait knowing in our hearts that all is well.

Back from our Trip

So having got home late Wednesday evening from our five weeks of travel , which included a night sleeping and just being in Grace cathedral , ski planes and landing on glaciers , safaris , a magical deep moment with an aboriginal elder and so so many more amazing experiences , I have managed to land fully and make time for a post. Really does not seem like other Christmas times gone by , no time to get overloaded with the material world and what it makes of this time of year , instead we have taken the dogs each morning to the beach and just really appreciating what we have here . Lovely to travel and as lovely to return . What I did have whilst we were away was space to allow some ideas to flow in and land with me and the idea of three weekend retreats to be held in February, March and April. They will be small intimate women only spaces six participants in total . The overriding theme is what does it mean to be a fully realised woman in the 21st century. Had we have been born in 2000 we would now becoming of age , unfortunately in our culture we do not honour rites of passage and what there deeper meanings are . I will post full details on the website shortly, but so you have some idea the weekends will run Friday to Monday morning the final weekend will encompass earth day on the 22nd April when we will have an all night puja . The entire cost for the three weekends is just £395 . Deposits will need to be paid by the end of January . You must be able to commit to all three weekends . Hope this may have resonated with some of you please contact us if you require more information at this stage , not fully sure when the details will be on the website I have a few other things to attend to as I am sure all you women are aware of xx   Sending love to you all for a peaceful time Jenni  x

From sea otters to saving four legged souls .

Well what joys are we having , each day something new requiring our full attention and keeping us grounded and in the moment .

After such a great weekend in San Francisco we travelled to Morro Bay on Monday where our travels plans changed due to the coastal highway being closed . However we meet a man who's young daughter had died just that week humbling , and yet the exchange we had was so beautiful , deep and so meaningful . Routes and plans can change in a moment that much was made so very clear !

 We then encountered the Sea otters in the bay there, just the start of Tuesday ......

Airport chaos the next part of the day so just trying to stayed relaxed required great patience and meditation skills , things we practice daily so happily we managed to stay cool , board the overnight flight and arrive in Tahiti .......

Paradise and super relaxing , exactly what we need . I have learnt that we cannot pour from an empty cup and self care and love is essential .

We make sure we spend time with locals staying in a small family run place and shopping with road side vendors where possible. This is the view we have each morning.

Our hosts dogs came to visit us as if to inform us of information we would need whilst here.

And that was to become apparent when a little lost dog ran in front of our car for about a mile . It finally ran into the ditch alongside the road ,and naturally we stopped to see how it was.

Terrified but happy for us to pick it up , we wrapped it in a beach towel and brought it back to our accommodation certain that the host would approve and be able to help.

We washed and fed her ,little puppy she is and tried our best to deal with the flea infestation , clipped all the vegetation out of her and posted on the local lost pets site . She slept soundly that night and in the morning our host came and collected her . She is currently with one of her staff who is happy to keep her if no one comes forward .

Lovely to help another lost soul four legged though she is .
