Babbling Brooks,Birdsong,Broken Branches and Birthday Bluebells .

How blessed am I , a lovely walk to start the day my 61st birthday , I adore this time of year , the heady scent of the bluebells , the birds and sound of the brook truly lovely and the sunshine too. 

All of this and our opening ceremony of the roundhouse later today simply beautiful . 
The weather forecast is good all day , and whilst the sound chamber is not fully finished our pole and bench sponsors will get a real sense of how the completed structure will be when we gather in there later today.
Fred and the team have worked flat out to try and get it finished however an 18 week project in just 9/10 was really optimistic !

We are still delighted . The roof looks amazing and the fire pit with it's sponsored benches a real bonus .Thank you Luke , Hattie and Steve  .

We will bless it later after collecting our dear friend Judith Tripp from the train station . Our wise women's soul quest which Judith has been holding here for us annually since 2013 is our biggest to date , and will see a short circle in the roundhouse during the weekend , setting the foundations for the healing that it is intended for . I am simply blown away by what happens when we allow spirit to guide us , I feel I must be dreaming .
Looking like a summer of magic is on the way .We are now offering concessions and discounted holiday weeks to those in recovery who are clean and sober for six months and are able to offer some light work duties along with a weekly payment for board . Call to enquire, this is the culmination of our seven year plan we set on arrival here in July 2012 .
The first blessing of the day in the roundhouse is for my Twin sister Jayne who passed on in 1995 . Happy Birthday Jayne blessings to you wherever you are on your spiritual journey . We will end our opening ceremony later in Sunflower our other retreat space dedicated to Jayne who loved sunflowers .
And know all things pass nothing stays the same only love is real .

World Labyrinth Day Delights

Well here we are  at World Labyrinth Day soon to be walking 'as one at one '

There has been so many other lovely things been happening here this week . The full moon gong bath on Monday , a friend Emma arrived Tuesday afternoon , along with discussing the stained glass windows for the round house earlier that day at Cariad Glass, and a wonderful 60th birthday lunch with another friend . 
Not really sure where the rest of the week went although we did take Emma to Gors Fawr stone circle somewhere between then and now .

We also had a visit from the Bee inspector and all seems well with the hives .

Gardening has been a big part that has filled our time with the grass and heart labyrinths getting a lot of TLC . 

The sedum for the roundhouse roof was delivered yesterday too , and will see some roof top gardening in the coming days .










The fire pit outside the round house has also had some work to it ....... things are gathering momentum

We have the labyrinth walks today and a short sound bath after .
A past seeker has just booked to return at the end of the month , she has found a special place here , just as we did when we first came our prayers and intentions for Gorslwyd Farm and Gwenhwyfar Garden are all being answered.
We have family  arriving today for the bank holiday they will keep us busy over the next couple of days , we have their Celtic birthday trees for them  to plant along the ridge behind  the round house , before the excitement gathers as we prepare for the opening next Thursday .
Oh my word seems a lot to do though time seems somehow to expand here when engaged in such joy filled task . Kairos time -the time of the soul .

The three R's ...... Render , Roofs and Retreats .

So here we are after another week, time just seems to fly by , not without enormous amounts of work though.
This last weekend's retreat which incorporated  earth day and sing to the trees , was a truly wonderful experience , along with an 8 hour gong puja through the night on Saturday .All starting off with Ceredwin 80th birthday on Friday , so blessed that she found it in her heart to join our final circle .

The roof structure was finished and wow how fabulous to look down on the upper oak spokes from our top floor window .
The Lime render has arrived ready for the walls . 



Lots to get on with especially as we have another retreat this weekend . We are blessed that our intentions are coming to fruition, though at times it can seem a little hectic , important to be in balance .      

 And so the beach first thing with the dogs is vital . 
Not long and they will not be allowed on Penbryn until the autumn , so let's truly make hay along with roundhouses , retreats , and joy filled days

    ....... the sun is currently shining ....

Gwenhwyfar Garden: Sound Peace Chamber in the Sunshine

Gwenhwyfar Garden: Sound Peace Chamber in the Sunshine: Just had to write a short blog this early evening showing the sun shining & casting shadows of the oak posts through the east doorway . ...

Rubbish , Rocks and Willows.

So today saw us with the beach to ourselves ....such a joy when that happens . The stream had carved huge passageways through the sand , the dogs however were a little unsure which way to cross over .

Along the far end we went picking up some plastic and other debris as we walked . No time for rocks and stones today , rubbish was at the forefront of my mind . 

The dogs found two tennis balls which they happily brought home , along with my small rubbish pile and some rocks Ali has been collecting for the roundhouse fire pit .

The scarlet willow arrived yesterday a gift for our dear friend Ceredwin who will be 80 on Friday and joining the last part of the women of our times retreat . 

This Saturday being Earth day and sing to the trees , Ceredwin will have scarlet willow to plant , the other women's trees have been holding space outside the perimeter of the roundhouse since we blessed the site back in February. 

We will all plant our trees and we will then all be able to sing and bless them as their roots embrace the earth .We shall have a wonderful weekend that's for sure . Weather looking good for our fire ceremony later that day,  and then an all night gong puja . Nice job we have here .........

As if all of this were not enough we have another seeker arriving tomorrow , we hope she will find what she has been missing as she allows Gorslwyd Farm and Gwenhwyfar Garden to  sow their seeds of hope and joy that they are only to happy to do .
Blessed be .

Sound Peace Chamber in the Sunshine

Just had to write a short blog this early evening showing the sun shining & casting shadows of the oak posts through the east doorway . Feeling so incredibly blessed . We have had many projects since we arrived at the farm , this one has captured my creative passion like no other . It feels like it lives in me and I in it .

I imagine myself holding circles with amazing people who will come with their own unique energy and transform all that needs to be transformed within us whilst we sit in a modern day Celtic roundhouse asking our ancestors and the ancestors of this land to show us and guide back to wholeness . Blessed doesn't somehow seem a big enough word . The feeling behind it is just so much bigger .
To think when the idea first came and where we are today , help from other realms for sure .

Beautiful beach time

Just back from a lovely trip to the beach . Will not be able to soon , the dogs are not allowed on our favourite beach from May till the end of September , so truly making the most of it and today's weather and the expanse of beach with nobody else around , joyful.

We are back now to get on with some chores outside , roundhouse path way to help with , scalpings on the steps up to the sunroom at the back of Sunflower and painting the newly rendered wall . Always things to do and happy when we can be outside .
We manage our time here a lot  around what the weather brings , it's so organic that way . Naturally there are certain things like meal times etc that are more fixed , but the daily chores of general maintenance etc well they just seem to happen , it's like we work with all the elements and all gets done as it should . So blessed we can have this as a way of life , very different to a lot of peoples life style , and that makes us ever grateful we chose to take on something that has at times seemed a huge commitment . That's when we absolutely have to remember all the help we have from all dimensions , then we get back to a gentle way of being .
