Dear Friends

Spring Blessings to you!

This newsletter comes to you later than intended as illness and some prolonged hospital time stopped us in our tracks to dive and reflect deeply on direction and purpose.

Earth life is the most incredible gift! A vast web of interlocking connections, messages and leanings - everything in creation is leaning into something else. A constancy of luminous threads that are daily brought to our life forces and remake us - if we allow it.

From the Kalahari people we hear a simple practise of waking ourselves up at least twice each day. . .

Tell your people they have to wake up twice in the morning. The first time is to get out of bed and then they must awaken their heart - walk out of the bedrock of objects and materialism and into a spiritual world guided by the felt sense of the frequencies and the lines of relationships that hold everything together.

And throughout each day there are so many ways we can do this as we simply and gently open towards the vast range of colours, sounds, felt tones and infinite subtleties . . . the encounters and openings to meet new and familiar energies with the wide eyed awe of a child never ceases to have us brought home to profound gratefulness - a stirring of wonder that we could be so blessed as to feel the infinite presence of Nature through so many of our senses.

And we don't overlook the challenges, the contrasts, the patterns that are playing out - disruption, confusion and destruction at so many levels. Over and again we are brought to meet them with a keen degree of discernment, witness presence and wisdom.

To make choices from one's own clear centre is a continual practice and asks us to really check in with a clear alignment to pure, unadulterated, non-emotive, Love. It's not always clear cut or based on learned codes of behavior. Time and again we are called to become stiller and quieter and open our heart field to Nature.

Creating coherence in the face of incoherence has always been our focus and we wish to contribute and share more of that with you through our upcoming events and offerings. There are some key elements that come through in all of our events and offerings; a simple and sustaining invitation to each person who comes.

We invite you to deep reconnection to a way of being that honours all life, knows the language and support of nature and the resonance of sound to create, energise and vitalise while creating more coherence in our world.

To go deeper into the co-creative process with nature we would like to invite you to one of our residential Sound Forging retreats:

Biofield Tuning and Sound Weaving: Everything is frequency and vibration

Gabriella has been deeply moved by the shifts that are happening through combining her soundweaving with Biofield Tuning. Together these different sound healing ‘modalities’ create a field where the body can organise itself into coherent patterns and from where healing is in nature’s hands. Creating fields where distress can be resolved – either physical or emotional – allows deep relaxation and self healing to occur. 

A Tubular Bell Project update: 

Recent and beautiful news from our tubular bell project is that the two large sounding pipes/tubular bells that were forged last spring have been given their forever home in a purpose built timber pagoda situated on a wee island on one of the lakes on the land we know as Monte da Paz. Below is a short glimpse of the inauguration of them being named and played for the first time in their permanent place, last week, a year after they were forged.

Rose and Lotus have arrived!

The Hum of Being is the name we've given to our bespoke personal residential retreats with us, Gabriella and Heather. The Hum is that sweet spot that brings those vibrational connections into our daily lives and have us in greater co-creation with other beings such as the bees, horses, plant life, waters, trees, ancient megalithic stone beings and some of the other magical people and places we are blessed to share our lives with. The retreats are tailor made for your group or family and can be in the south or north of Portugal. 

Ideally these retreats run from three to seven days in length and for groups of people who know each other and wish to deepen their connection with more of life. The forge is one of the most amazing facilitators of personal and material transformation! 

A recent group of four women came from different parts north America to be with us over six days . . . they told us they didn't mind what we offered them - they just wanted to have more of us! To be sure we were deeply flattered and said yes, offering a held space for relaxation, nature connection through sound and place and the incredibly strong vessel that a sacred circle of listening and openness can facilitate. Along the way they surely crafted incredibly fine and beautiful singing bowls too!

One of their responses . . . we came to Portugal to be wand to bathe in your beautiful energies and light once again. we left with our hearts, bodies, souls nourished and tingling with so much music and love. And, what a gift . . . I made a singing bowl!

and from another . . . I could be my true self, surrounded by love, learning, nutritious food and souls who care. . .

moments captured whilst attuning with an ancient grandmother cork oak tree whilst listening and being immersed in the hum of bees with our friends from Bee wisdom - a sensitive and life changing encounter with bees in their native environments. 

We'd love to gift you a nine minute sound wand that can soothe, relax and align us into the arms of nature - reminding us that 'the universe has our backs' even in stormy times.

Evening Song offers sound frequencies that align your biorhythms to those of the night field - a time for rest.

We suggest you put it on a loop and allow the beings of water and sky, tree and ground to resound with our own hand forged instruments . . .

Be held in a field of Nature's sweet lullaby as you head towards restorative sleep.
