'Such a joy to 'take time out' and be gently guided to see the power of stillness in nature.  To walk in silence in a beautiful wood and be able to cast off unwanted things from the past and to contemplate 'seed intentions' for the coming year,  was a most enriching experience on many more levels than expected.  To  be even more aware of our beautiful, bountiful earth and to celebrate this most wonderful gift.'

Towards the end of the one year training, Andi wrote 'I would like to say how much I have enjoyed the past year attending “the Wheel of The Year” training at the Sanctuary. The way that you conducted each day was full of creativity and inspiration. Its not until you attend something like this that you actually realize how a lot of us have been ‘disconnected’ for many, many years, from our natural instincts, gut feelings, concerns for our planet and the life, which we are lucky to still have on it. It really brings home what destruction, we as a human race, are causing ....

On another level, the workshops have also inspired me, (and to give me a kick in the pants) to get writing. Creative and inspired writing is a gift I never thought about. I thought that I would like to write a book on something one day, but never knew on what or how to do it. Now, I have a respectable collection of poems which I am determined to get published.

Also, I have never really been much of ‘a person’s person’. But, the year has also lead me up a path to meet such a lot of people; most of which are like-minded ..... Sarah, you are truly working your way to bringing communities together once more ....
