Summer Radiant Greetings to you all!
Wow – what a year! Cannot believe I am sitting here writing this intro to the Summer Newsletter.
Where has the year gone?
Well, like many I guess we know where “it goes…day to day busyness in or out of business, family, friendships, the good times and the challenging. As many of you will know via Facebook last week we lost our beloved Fifi, one of our fur family. Tragic, devastating and filled with love. The support we received as we grieved was so heart-warming. When you do life in a big way it shows up in all areas – we received a whole lot of LOVE!!!
So many come to the farm and are usually met by Fifi and Mia. They have brought so much joy and comfort to others. Animals are so good at giving unconditional love and forgiveness. Fifi is a true tribute to that.
So, what about love and forgiveness?
Heading into the “Christmas” season I ask you – what does that mean to you?
Last year I found myself calling it “Lovemas” because I felt more comfortable using that term as I am not so sure anymore if I follow that whole (to some) traditional story. Don’t get me wrong – I honour Jesus and the remarkable man he was on the Earth. Hey, we are still talking about him! And all the others that are part of that time and story, especially Mary Magdalene yet I feel it necessary to check in with how and why I do things, so I am more conscious about my choices.
Here at the farm, we try to be as conscious in our lives, what we do, what we offer, how we support others, to be inclusive and to make adjustments as we feel we must. Recently we decided to not go ahead with Summer Solstice – there were a few factors, and we could have pushed on because we “said we do this every year” yet we listened to something deeper inside…. the relief after the decision was the indicator that we had done the right thing for us this year.
So, you see, we think and feel into what we do…. authentically. And to better do this we need to relax and replenish. Thus, the farm will take a break from Solstice Dec 21 until Jan 10 to connect with ourselves, family and friends.
We will return with many amazing events already booked in – some regulars like the Wise Woman Within You Circles and our Sunday Breakfasts, plus Jackie Dene & Psychic Development, The School of Shamanic Womancraft SA 4Seasons Journey, Conny van Balen & Chakradance, and new offerings: Women’s Wisdom Weekends…and more! So exciting!! Thus, we need a recharge! LOL
Thank you for taking the time to read this newsletter, for your support and interest in the farm. We love what we do and truly do appreciate all who join us in the community of the farm, be it from simply following or joining us at events. We look forward seeing you and connecting in the new year!
Have a great summer!!!
Sending you wishes for joy, peace, and wellness,
Joan and Urs and the Farm Crew
