I am
writing this review with what can only be described as one of the
best experiences of my time in recovery. I have been abstinent
for quite a few years now, one day at a time.
I
also wish to say thank you as it would not have been possible but for
three of my Pals and the owners of Lime Tree Farm who have been so
generous in their own way with what they have.
This
is an amazing spiritual place and there is so much to see and offer
to a long term recovering addict like me .
At
the start of the day I spent a tranquil hour observing the wildlife
which really lent itself to what was to come, building a fire from
scratch and cooking on it, I had a amazing cup of tea with such
flavour it was very good.
We
then went to the Round house and did Meditation around our breathing
and going beyond ourselves.

We
then went to sample delicious hot soup and bread followed by a walk
along a different path and stopped off at the hide to feed the
wildlife. Darrell was talking to me about the plans he envisioned at
the retreat and I could really see how they could become reality with
the help from like minded people of which there is already quite a few, We
came back after this to eat our Stone baked Pizza which was cooked in
a magnificent stone oven next to the roundhouse.
After
this we went to the tree conservation field where we planted my
strong young sapling ASH tree this was an extra special moment for me
as I dedicated it to My best friend Mary who had died recently,
it was a beautiful moment that means so much.
Lastly
we had an hours silence in the stone circle and the ending of the day
was upon us.
Having
had time to reflect and CONNECT to the power that I believe in and
after being in such a sacred place,
I
find there are no words that would do my Solo day justice, it was
AMAZING.
Thank
you to all who helped to get me to LIME TREE FARM, what a day,
with love and gratitude, Marie.
