Had these precious cygnets not been spotted and rescued a few months ago, their story might have ended before it had truly begun.

I’m endlessly grateful they were given a second chance. Getting to know each one is such a joy—their different sizes and markings, their tiny squeaks, and the individual personalities that shine a little brighter every day.

There is something incredibly magical about beginning each morning hanging out with this swan family—watching them glide across the water and simply sharing a little corner of their world.

And a big hats off to Geoff and Ann, whose patience, devotion and gentle care make them the most wonderful swan parents.

Flying lessons have begun—and what a majestic sight it was this morning to see all eight swans soaring together across the river. (Tomorrow, I’ll be sure to take my phone and try to capture them in flight).

Moments like these are a gentle reminder that every wild life matters. By noticing, protecting and caring for the creatures who share our rivers and green spaces, we help give their stories the chance to continue.

A few moments from the Reiki and Crystal Courses held during the spring and summer of 2026 ✨

Each gathering brought together beautiful souls and wonderfully gifted healers, all learning, sharing and growing together.

How lucky we were with the bright sunny weather, so much of our practical work unfolded outdoors—beside the river and beneath the gentle shelter of the willow trees. 🌿

I’m so excited to see where your Reiki journeys lead and how your unique gifts continue to blossom along the way. 💫

The full schedule of events is just here:

A big thank you to Helen for messaging me this morning about a poor duck with a plastic ring around its head.

Enlisted the help of my 21yr old and off we went on a rescue mission.

Ducks are notoriously hard to catch but Max somehow managed to gently pick it up in the water (I’m positive the duck knew we were there to help) 🦆🦆

I cut off the plastic ring - resulting in one happy and very hungry duck.

Thank you Max Pitman you are a star 🌟

I received a call this morning from the amazing animal rescuer Jo, asking if I could try and locate a cygnet which had flown into a residential area the other side of Ware.

The little guys flying lessons had ventured a bit too far!😊🦢

Eventually found the swan wandering around in the street, luckily some wonderful residents were there watching over him.

Managed to pick him up and pop him in an Ikea bag.

One of the ladies who lives in the street kindly drove me and the cygnet back to the river to locate its correct family where they were all reunited.

Once again apologies for weird swan voice in video (not sure where this comes from 🙄😬).

Anyway a successful rescue and happy swans 🦢💜🦢

Autumn Equinox - meaning ‘equal night’.

A time to welcome a sense of balance between your inner and outer worlds.

An invitation to reap in the bounty of your harvest, all that you have worked on over the last 9 months.

To revisit the seeds of intention you planted at the beginning of the year - how have you nurtured and cared for these dreams?

An opportunity to reflect and acknowledge the journey you have walked, how much you have evolved, and all that you have achieved.

The summer months draw our attention towards the outer world: the experiences that empower us, awaken our sense of adventure and open us to exciting possibilities.

Autumn invites us to turn our attention inward: to take time simply to be, to slow down and replenish, and to nurture and nourish ourselves with warmth and affection.

To soften in order to strengthen.

As the trees begin to shed their leaves as part of their cycle of renewal - they remind us of a universal principle: in order to grow, we must also let go.

They delve their roots deep into the earth, unwavering in their strong foundation, so that their branches can continue to reach towards the skies.

Steadier, stronger, wiser.

Nature asks us to honour the turning of the wheel: to acknowledge the endings and appreciate the beginnings with a sense of trust, willingness and gentle acceptance.

Interwoven with the Earth and all of life when we allow ourselves to move in harmony with the seasons and follow their cycles, we create a loving space for rebirth, renewal and new seeds to be planted.

Happy Autumn Equinox (1:04am 23rd September).

With love x

🌞✨ SARDINIA WELLBEING RETREAT 2027 ✨🌞

13th – 18th May 2027 | 5 nights

Do you fancy a little blissful relaxing getaway in the sunshine next May? ☀️🌊💗

Oh my word… I simply cannot wait to be back at this magical resort!

This will be our 18th wellbeing retreat and our 5th retreat at this incredible venue. 💜

We have exclusive use of the entire 35-room picturesque converted monastery, nestled amongst breathtaking mountains and just a 10-minute walk from a stunning beach and the crystal-clear sea.

A truly peaceful sanctuary to unwind, reconnect and simply be. The grounds are serene and beautiful, dotted with hammocks and we have the most amazing swimming pool.

Your retreat includes:

🧘‍♀️ Morning & evening meditations
🌸 Two yoga classes each day, suitable for all levels
✨ Insightful spiritual workshops
🎶 An immersive sound bath with the incredible Sardinian company Arkai
💗 Heart-centred ceremonies in our beautiful courtyard
🍝 Delicious Italian dining, with plenty of choice for every dietary requirement
✈️ Transfers from the selected London Stansted flights
🎁 And, of course, your rather fabulous holistic gift packs … which need their own 22kg suitcase!

Everything is completely optional.
You can dip in and out as much or as little as you choose. Perhaps you’ll spend the morning doing yoga and meditating on the beach… or perhaps lying in the sunshine doing absolutely nothing is exactly what you need!

This is your retreat, your time and your magical experience. 💗

We already have quite a few bookings, but there are still rooms available for single, twin or double occupancy, with all bedrooms having their own en-suite bathroom.

After 10 years of creating these getaways, we have around a 75% rebooking rate to various retreat destinations. It means so much that so many people choose to return to our retreats. 💜

If you choose to come along to five wonderful nights in the sunshine by the sea, with yoga, meditation, delicious Italian food and wonderful like-minded souls - it will be a total joy to welcome you.

Where the story of this year’s six adorable cygnets began!
What a privilege it was to witness Geoff and Ann’s beautiful swan mating dance alongside Angel, last year’s only cygnet, watching and learning closely beside them. 😊😊🦢🦢

To my surprise a lovely lady, Julia (a writer for 'Village Life' magazine) attended one of my Ware Town Council events and asked if it would be ok to run an article about the workshop (er yes sure – no pressure 😊).

This is the article in the September issue (thank you Julia):

‘’Ware Town Council Wellness Programme – Manifesting from the Heart

Firstly, thank you to Ware Town Council for the ongoing Wellness Programme, sessions are free to attend and an opportunity to try out different approaches to wellbeing.

Sadly, I have only been able to attend a couple of events. Plans are already afoot for 2026-27, keep an eye out for details at https://www.waretowncouncil.gov.uk/whats-on/wellness-programme/

In July, I was lucky enough to attend Manifesting from the Heart with Melanie Pitman – Reiki Master/Teacher and Meditation Coach:

“I have been teaching Meditation, Reiki, Crystal Healing and many other Spiritual Courses, Workshops, Events and Retreats for over 16 years and offering Reiki treatments for over 22 years.
Here at my Reiki and Meditation space in Ware, Herts; I offer a welcoming, warm, friendly, and uplifting environment, with an opportunity to learn new insights, teachings and techniques to benefit both yourself and others.
Supporting people on their spiritual journey of healing and self discovery through various heartfelt practices.”
Melanie www.mel-reiki.com

Manifesting from the Heart was held at Fletcher’s Lea in Ware Priory with a tranquil and surprisingly green view from its spacious setting (we could not see the frazzled lawns).

On arrival, empty chairs surrounded a focal point – a central mat with neatly-arranged cards in two concentric circles, to one side a bowl of multi-coloured crystals.

Participants arrived alone and in groups, doors were opened to draw in the cooler air on a welcome cloudy evening.

The entire evening was a truly heart-warming and opening experience. In just over an hour and a half, Melanie gave individual tips and advice to those who asked before the scheduled start.

Once begun her focus turned to the varied group activities, through meditation and her invitation, Melanie encouraged us to feel, become aware of our heart-energy and on how to augment positive emotions and raise our vibrations. She recommended a number of different sources for further reading.

So much of life is about putting on a front and hardening ourselves to cope with harsh realities and Melanie invited and guided us to focus on our positive emotions, to remember to feel our way into difficult decisions and to notice the body’s reaction to different options – to align with our true nature.

For me, the high spot of the evening was during our guided gratitude meditation, towards the end of the session. It started to rain; a lone robin could be heard offering his song to the proceedings – it seemed that he was expressing his gratitude too, producing such memorable harmony.

I left the session feeling inspired, calmer and more open; energized too. Stepping out into a peaceful evening sunset, leaving ongoing chatter behind.

To book a workshop, retreat or training; or simply to find out more about Melanie Pitman, her experience, training and work, visit www.mel-reiki.com.

Look out for Melanie’s other sessions in the Wellness Programme:

Rest and Reset session on the 8th October, with further sessions planned in November and 2027.’’

Coming home from our Glastonbury Retreat 2026

What a magical experience it was to gather together in Glastonbury and share these special days with such beautiful souls.

The land held us so sweetly from the moment we arrived. After a pretty dismal weather forecast in the run-up to the retreat, the skies cleared just when we needed them to, giving us the most perfect sunshine for our sacred site visits.

We drummed together on top of the Tor, feeling the unmistakable Glastonbury energy rise up through the soles of our feet.

We wandered through the tranquil Chalice Well and gardens, drawing in the peace and beauty of this sacred place.

We spent a private hour at the White Spring, where we dropped into collective silence before allowing a little chanting to rise between us.

We also attended St Margaret’s Chapel and gardens held just for our group, creating such a peaceful and intimate space.

We gathered for a beautiful New Moon meditation and intention setting, planting our wishes with open hearts.

We created an Earth offering and held a fire ceremony, sending out our wishes and gratitude for the Earth.

Tanya held her amazing “Connecting to Your Intuition” workshop.

And Pauline shared her powerful “OM chanting” session.

As always, it is the beautiful, kind, caring and compassionate guests who make these retreats so memorable. Each person brought something so special, and I feel deeply grateful for the openness, friendliness, laughter and connection we shared.

Not forgetting our two star guests, Betsie and Lulu the gorgeous Shih Tzu's

And a big, heartfelt shout-out to Sam — thank you for all of your help, your grounded presence, for our belly laughs and for simply being you!

Our next retreat will be at our picturesque resort in Sardinia from 13 May 2027, for a five-night stay.

I am now looking forward to taking a few quiet days completely dedicated to the swans. 🙂
