This reel was recorded today — lying on the grass, after giving herself permission to leave the to-do list, take her daughter sailing, have a brilliant time and rest.

A few days before, our co-founder Emma’s nervous system was telling her she was behind, there was too much to do, she needed to work harder… and things were starting to feel like a bit of an emergency.

Nothing dramatic had changed in her circumstances. But something had changed in the story her body was living inside.
By listening to what was underneath the urgency, recognising an old survival story, and reconnecting with the wider truth of now — I have support. I have choices. I don’t have to do everything at once. I’m allowed to enjoy my life while I build the things that matter to me — her body began to respond too.

This is what Emma means by Storying for Safety.

It’s also what we’ll be exploring together in our FREE Storying for Safety webinar — the fascinating relationship between story, archetype and the nervous system, and how these can become resources for greater safety, connection and choice.

You can also find it at the link below because the webinar offers a taste of some of the territory we’ll explore more deeply and experientially at Together in Nature this October, working with story, somatics, archetype and the natural world to deepen our capacity to hold ourselves and others.

🌿 Part 2 of The Pilgrimage: At Wild & Rooted Gathering 🌟
https://youtube.com/shorts/9mh7SfKyVDE?feature=share
As we journeyed along the motorway, our hearts were open to the magic that awaited us. At Wild & Rooted, we didn’t just find a gathering—we discovered kindred spirits who, like us, are weaving the fabric of a new reality.
In that moment of singing together under the Wild & Rooted banner, we felt the power of connection—not just across miles, but across intentions. This emerging community opened doors to greater insights, igniting ideas and connections for what we’re building here.
We approached this gathering not merely as visitors, but as explorers—seeking deeper ways of living and being alongside each other. We’re not just connecting; we’re weaving a tapestry of community, one that spans the country, and perhaps even the world.

It’s profoundly beautiful and magical to immerse ourselves in a realm beyond the 3D visual reality. This is about more than just community; it’s about indigenous wisdom, cooperative ways of being, and a deep reverence for our planetary existence.

As we become aware of the game, we reclaim our agency. We no longer get played—we choose the game board, and we’re creating it from the remnants of the past. Together, we’re crafting a new narrative, one that reflects our values and our vision.

Join us as we continue to unfold this journey of connection, inspiration, and transformation.

✨ What new game are you choosing to play?

🎥 A GrowFree Pilgrimage | Part 1 🌲
https://youtu.be/YLifiLn1tAY

This summer, Heidi Neal Somatic Coaching and Grow Free with Emma B took a road trip to visit the third member of the Together in Nature Team, Jon Cree, to deepen our connection with each other and our work.

It was more than just a visit—it was a journey of love, inspiration, and community. Together, more than a team, we’re becoming a family who shares moments under the stars, in rivers, and admiring and building compost loos that you don’t need to empty!

We ate cake as the river dripped from our bodies, spotted dazzling kingfishers, and even lost a flip-flop (don’t worry, it was a good excuse to fashion rescue missions and stay longer!). We slept under the sky in hammocks and roundhouses, cooked, ate and giggled around the fire, and pitched in on Jon’s latest woodland loo.

✨ Here’s a glimpse of our time together, filled with laughter, nature, and the kind of care that our younger members inspire in us.

And now, as we carry this inspiration into our work, we remind you that you are invited to join Heidi, Jon & Emma for the next chapter of Together in Nature!

🌿 Our Next Immersion is Story, Archetypes & The Nervous System: October 30-31

This is your chance to immerse yourself in nature, community, and transformative learning. Spaces are limited, so be sure to book your place!

We have both a favour to ask and an offer to make here.

As with all things GrowFree, the Together in Nature Learning Community has been evolving this year. And as with all things Emma B does, her early attempts at evolving the bookings on the landing page were a little complicated. Thank you, Jon, for kindly pointing this out.

We’d love it if some of you could also take a look now that I have simplified the offers and let me know if they are clear and if the booking feels easy and attractive. You can feedback here or privately.
https://www.grow-free.com/TinNature

For the first person who does this and would like to book onto the October 30-31st Immersion, I can offer a 40% discount code.

Anyone who books this immersion anyway before September 15th will also get two year’s free access to the developing new online space for Together in Nature.

Thank you 🙏

PS. Jon, Heidi and I will also be holding a family-friendly Halloween evening gathering on 31st October: Myths, Crafts, Crones & Tricksters: A Family Samhain Around-the-Fire (£20/family). PM me to book your advance spot on this.

PPS. If anyone would be willing to put up posters or share this online, that would be wonderful. Again let us know.

Day Out of Time Community Gathering 🔥🌿

Once each year, on July 25th between the ending of one 13 Moon cycle and the beginning of the next, comes something rather beautiful...

The Day Out of Time.

A day that doesn't belong to the old year or the new one.

A pause.

A breath.

A threshold.

Rather than rushing from one cycle into the next, we gather to celebrate, reflect, create and simply enjoy being together.

This year we're delighted to be celebrating alongside our friends from We Are Nature Collective and ACE Voices, with GrowFree members travelling from near and far to share the day with us.

We'll be spending time together around the fire, making plant crowns, exploring plant-based printing, sharing food, music and conversation, and marking this special day in the way that feels most natural to us - through creativity, connection and time outdoors.

No grand ceremony.

No pressure to be anything other than yourself.

Just people, plants, laughter, stories, music and the reminder that we belong to something much bigger than ourselves.

As one cycle gently closes and another begins, we'll take a moment to honour everything this year has offered and step together into the next with open hearts.

We're really looking forward to sharing it with our members. If you've been involved with us this year and would like to come, RSVP absolutely essential as numbers are limited. 🌿✨🔥

As we approach the end of our first complete journey together through the 13 Moons, we're also approaching the beginning of a new planetary year.

On 26th July, we enter the Year of the Red Galactic Moon.

I harmonise in order to purify
Modelling flow
I seal the process of universal water
With the Galactic Tone of Integrity
I am guided by the power of Space.

Every planetary year carries its own atmosphere.

This past year, the Yellow Resonant Seed invited us to attune to our deepest potential — to listen, grow, dissolve old patterns and discover what authentic flowering might feel like.

The coming year shifts the emphasis.

The Red Galactic Moon asks:

Can you embody what you've discovered?

Rather than searching for your path, this year invites you to become it.

Rather than reaching for alignment, it invites you to live from it.

Integrity, in the Law of Time, isn't about perfection.

It's about coherence.

It's about allowing your inner world, your actions, your relationships and your service to flow from the same living source.

It feels like a beautiful continuation of everything we've explored together this year in our 13 Moon Journey. You can join us in this for the coming year here:
https://community.grow-free.com/plans/1989904?bundle_token=d19675ef91a7be36907e3326980d2cf0&utm_source=manual

Over the coming days we'll also celebrate the Day Out of Time on 25th July — the beautiful pause between one cycle and the next — before stepping together into another spiral around the living wheel of time. If you are local to us in Aberdeenshire, you could join us in-person to celebrate 'Time is Art' on this day. PM to find out more.

We can't wait to see what unfolds. 🌿✨

🌱 GrowFree: A Living Ecosystem of Transformation 🌱

“GrowFree is a living ecosystem where trauma transforms into trust, separation into sovereignty, and knowledge into nurturing. We unite as peers, practitioners, and families to cultivate a community grounded in reciprocity, resilience, and the wisdom of nature—allowing our innate power, creativity, and well-being to thrive.”
________________________________________

At GrowFree, we believe that healing is not just an individual journey—it is a collective evolution. Our community is designed to support each member’s path toward empowerment, connection, and genuine wellbeing.

🔹 What We’re Building:
• Trauma into Trust: Through shared experiences and embodied practices, we learn to trust ourselves and each other.
• Separation into Sovereignty: We reclaim our authentic autonomy and power by fostering deep connection, ever-growing awareness and reciprocal relationship.
• Knowledge into Nurturing: We transform information into wisdom by applying it to experience in real-life contexts, supporting each other’s growth.
________________________________________

Founding Practitioners Collaborating on our online Platform
We are excited to announce that a group of founding practitioners are now exploring collaborative use of the GrowFree platform on Mighty Networks. This is a significant step toward:
• Co-creating a supportive online environment as well as on-the-ground events and workshops
• Shared resource development and circulation
• Building a vibrant, interconnected community where everyone’s gifts contribute to the whole

It’s still early days but you can find us online at:

11/06/2026

We're creating a new opening in a dry-stone wall and turning the stone into a bench beside the Arcade Tent — our shelter and gathering space at the heart of the land.

Two skilled craftspeople will be guiding the process, and we're inviting anyone who'd like to come along, learn informally and lend a hand.

The wider project is about creating a collaborative site for growing nutritional and medicinal plants while learning together along the way. We're using a permaculture design process to help us listen carefully to the needs of all the beings involved — from plants, birds and animals to our human community and neighbours.

We're still in the early stages, which makes this a lovely time to get involved. The people who join us now will help shape the foundations of what develops here.

You can join us on any of the following days between 10am-5pm:
• Saturday 13th June
• Sunday 28th June
• Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th July (with the option to camp)

There's no charge to take part. Just bring suitable outdoor clothing, something to eat, a willingness to learn, and an interest in community, land, growing or traditional skills. Come for a whole day or a few hours to any or all of the sessions.

It's a great opportunity to learn something new while getting to know local people with similar interests.

If you'd like to come along, message here or to Grow Free with Emma B and we'll give you full details.
