@bagleybooks Yes. Seeing clients and obviously needed, so should be business as usual apart from offering videocall sessions if preferred, yet feels like it should be a snow day...

Birdsong is one of the many ways I wish I was more connected - an inherited right which I haven't yet been able to claim. A beautiful set of invitations here to begin to deepen that connection 💚💚🦉🦆🦅🐤

A very good question?!
We have lost so much collective understanding of symbolism - one of the things I love about delving into folksong is that I have to try and work out what was being expressed!

Apart from my always-favourite nettle, I can also highly recommend battered dandelion flowers fried in butter! (Pick them when the sun's out!)

Keeping my eye open for new buds!

THIS.
Be as we our meant to be.
Don't beat yourself up for not being able to sustain running against the natural way of things.

(Incidentally, turning inwards & preparing for winter is the theme of our 1st retreat running this October! Check it out at https://t.co/YOsF0g1isn !)

Singing together can have such a profound impact on our happiness and wellbeing - my favourite thing about making our new promo video was hearing what Birch Tree means to so many of you!

I love this - even if it makes me feel slightly redundant as a counsellor! We might not have as much sun here, yet we can recognise the same belief in the power of reconnecting that BTFC was built on.

Saw the first autumn leaves drifting down the other day. 🍂
One of the big learnings of this year has been to allow what isn't working or what there isn't space for to die back, so that other things can bloom and flourish. 🌳

With harvest time in the air we are singing a local version of John Barleycorn in BTFC Bath - an ancient song personifying the process of growing and preparing barley. Yet this song is so much more than it seems...

Don't know about you but we're certainly feeling the drop in temperature!
Sure we've posted this before but its such a stunning picture - and for the first time in a while those crisp cold autumn/winter days don't feel that far away!
