Tree people and spirits of place

Posted on by
I grew up in a house on a small country street. At the time, there was a field opposite my parents’ house, surrounded by tall canada poplars. My bedroom was at the front of the house, so from a young age I was lulled to sleep by the sound of the wind in their leaves. [...]

The inner child

Posted on by
Isn’t it weird how everything goes around in circles? I seem to always have to learn every lesson many times, repeating the same thing over and over. And I know I’m not the only one. Last week’s OBOD Lughnasadh Camp was themed for the inner child. I loved the idea. I was looking forward to letting [...]

Very soon now, the first episode of the Westacre video updates will be uploaded to this site. I wanted a theme tune for those videos, so I was very excited when Barry Patterson came to visit and played a potential theme tune for us.

Westacre’s web site tells you a lot about our dreams and aspirations for the next couple of years. Have a look around.

The About menu
The Spiritual Centre menu

Have a look at things to come with our Teaser Trailer.

From now on, there will be regular updates on this web site, including new videos once a week, or as often as the camera, the editing software and Hilde are in the same place together. Hilde’s weekly blogs will also be posted here.

Please let us know what you think.

All change

I always knew this was going to be a tough time. Once Alex stopped working full time, everything was going to change. And lots of change is not something I naturally deal with very easily. I like predictability and routine. In the last couple of weeks, Alex has been making a start on renovating his dad’s [...]

Self care for adventurous times

Posted on by
I am so tired. We had an epic pilgrimage across England this weekend. Most of it in our blue Landrover that we affectionately call the TARDIS (it’s a big blue box and it growls – hence). It really was an adventure, with trials of mismatched locks and keys and punctured tyres along the way. I did [...]
