The Apothecary’s Rose also known as Rosa Gallica Officianalis…

I love this rose, it was gifted to me about 6 years ago, It lives in the allotment and attracts lots of bees. Its scent is divine. One day I hope to make some rose water from it. It has a long and beautiful history …

For hundreds of years, the Apothecary’s Rose was valued for its medicinal properties.
Used in herbal remedies, ointments, syrups, and rosewater, it was a staple of medieval and Renaissance gardens. Monks, physicians and early apothecaries relied on its petals to treat everything from digestive complaints to inflammation and skin ailments. Its presence in gardens was both practical and symbolic, bridging the natural world and the healing arts’

‘In the Middle Ages, monks dried and rolled the petals into hard, fragrant beads, stringing them together for prayer. This is where the term "rosary" comes from. ‘

There is 1 space left in a new women’s circle. We will meet next Thursday 18th June from 7.30-9.30 here at the Garden Temple in Croston, Lancs. The same group of women will meet monthly and this way a safe, trusted, comfortable space is created. We begin with a settling body and breath meditation, light a candle with intention and sink into a deep relaxation before each woman is invited to share what arises for her in a supportive circle. There is a healing potency that comes with having your voice witnessed by a group of kind women and there is always synchronicity in the shares.
If this feels like something you are drawn to please send me a WhatsApp message 07984 553465
Thank you, Claire 🙏🏽

This evening after breathing and softening the body with subtle movement and a looong deep relaxation we meditated with our eyes open. We gazed out over the garden and took in the stillness and the wavering branches and grasses, the silence and the sounds.

This practice helps you to maintain a quietness and stillness inside while you navigate a busy world.

Today was ‘Treasure and Release’. Supported by the energies of the almost full moon everyone breathed and moved barefoot on the grass, sank into a deep relaxation lulled by singing bowls and birdsong, journaled and then released words committed to paper into the fire. We gathered for a rainbow lunch, tea and homemade cacao treats. The afternoon was spent opening our hearts with more barefoot earth, heart and heaven connection, some restorative yoga, journalling and sealing in all that we treasure about ourselves in a closing meditation.
Our group was a gorgeous mix of women who have been coming to my stuff for years, those who are on a spiritual path and some who have never experienced yoga, meditation etc before. ❤️ All are truly welcome. 🙏🏽

This Wednesday 3rd I’ll be posting dates for upcoming retreat days. Please take a look or if you’d like to be added to a broadcast message on WhatsApp (not a group!) please message 07984 553465 with your name,

I’m looking forward to being with you over the summer,

Today is the 24th anniversary of my Mum, Sylvia’s passing. I have been deepening my connection with her recently and this afternoon I asked her for a sign she was around. In half an hour I had 4! The first was a book I loved years ago when I was completing a chakra project for my yoga teacher training. I opened it at this page. The 2nd a four leaf clover. In the last 24 years I have found lots of them. It must be one of her signs. The 3rd a lady bird on my gardening shoes and the 4th the reassuring angel numbers 444.

Just a little edit as I have just noticed this was my 444th post on this page ✨

I wanted to share this with you all as I know everyone can feel connection to loved ones in spirit, just ask and then notice. With love, Claire ❤️

A weekend well spent in the garden preparing for exciting changes at the Garden Temple ✨ It’s always been a magical place and completely organic for at least 12 years so it’s a haven and home for frogs, newts, hedgehogs, butterflies, birds, bees, ladybirds, dragonflies and more 💚
They are my deck of living oracle cards! If I have a question or a quandary it’s not long before one of them appears with some insight…

Frogs are said to be associated with the divine feminine and the moon, healing past emotional wounds , embracing new beginnings and connected to mystical realms ✨
