Full power

I'm in the process of landing from a very rainy but incredibly blissful week at Earthing the spirit! Prior to going I had been rushing around a lot moving house and as soon as I got there I felt a deep sense of slowing down from the huge majestic trees and rolling hills of the landscape. Many welcoming and familiar faces also meant a sense of coming home.

After the first day of reconnecting I went to my Uncle's wedding, a very beautiful small affair, set in an art Deco building of perfect proportions. I am always slightly astounded by the connections, fun and love in my family. I had so much fun smoking with my cousins on the patio. I swapped places to sit next to my cousin Jon as Kelly his wife was unable to attend and had a full catch up on where we were at, then as soon as the music begun, I danced all night. We kept coming together in family circles, all holding hands, feeling connected and singing our hearts at to one another.

I arrived at Earthing Monday afternoon, sleepy and really grateful to have a week off drinking! The feeling of support and warmth at the festival is a very special creation. Everyone who attends has interesting ideas and is very open to speaking about where they are in life. The morning and afternoon devotionals, are pure heart space. I've struggled with them in the past, but this time really felt the unity they promote and felt really supported to really sing from a deep place. I also attended a very interesting course based on NLP and EFT, which was very powerful in releasing unwanted patterns of behaviour.

There were big fires, a lot of dancing in fields, to live bands and in the kitchen to my i pod. We had an incredible sports day event. Including 5 legged races, spoon and vegetable races, a fancy dress race and numerous tugs of war. I also felt like I got to know and to reconnect with some very inspiring friends. Very open hearted chats and real sharing of creativity and journeys.

I felt really able to be in my heart. An empowering and beautiful place to be.

On returning Jack and I took a detour to some friends land in County Durham who are living the dream. They were celebrating 10 years of being there. The party was really lovely. Huge fire, dancing to fiddle music and singing songs with some quirky Canadians 'the devils claw' song being the most amazing!

On the way to bed in half light, we went to see the straw bale houses that are being built there. They are both incredible examples of craftsmanship and in the new dawn the new house in particular looked like a mystical fairytale dream house.

My aim now is to carry this open hearted joy into the rest of my holidays. To take time to deeply connect, to sing, dance and be and keep myself in full power!
