BREAKING NEWS: The Regional Finalists
for 2017 have been announced.
“Thank you to everyone who nominated in the
Countryside Alliance
With over 11,000 nominations it has been our most successful year ever, which made shortlisting an impossible task. It took days to read every nomination and whittle them down to our Regional Finalists 2017
but we are pleased to say we have done it!"
Hi everyone.
Great news!
We've made it into the regional finals for the countryside alliance awards. From all of us at ABC we would like to say a special thanks to everyone who took the time to support our nomination. Without your support, we would not have made it this far towards a very prestigious award.
Please keep supporting our project in any way you can; spread the word or come yourself to experience time and space first hand. We are trying to make a difference to people's lives, taking time to learn conservation skills under the guidance of the owners of Lime Tree Farm, Peter and Irene Foster. I am eternally grateful to them for all of their support, trust, generosity and true friendship. I want to say a special thank you to them.
We are continuing to inspire professionals, who may be approaching burn-out, via our Time and Space retreats, Solo days courses and 1 to 1 bespoke coaching sessions. They get to practice and learn meditation and mindfulness; we'll continue to help them recharge and re-evaluate through important conservation works at the beautiful Lime Tree Farm nature reserve in
That's our update! – Thank you for reading.
Sincere Christmas greetings from all at ABC.
We are looking forward with real hope and belief to what we can achieve together in 2018.
Daz.
We are delighted to announce that ABC has been shortlisted to win a Countryside Alliance Award in the RURAL category.
The Awards are the Countryside Alliance’s annual
celebration of British food & farming, enterprise, and heritage through our
small hard-working businesses. The awards are now in their thirteenth year and
have become the definitive rural business award to win. They are set apart from
other award schemes because they are driven by public nomination, offering
customers the chance to tell us why their favourite businesses are worthy of
national acclaim. The awards received over eleven thousand nominations this
year so ABC has done extremely well to be shortlisted.
Countryside Alliance Awards Director Sarah Lee
commented:
“We have been overwhelmed by nominations this year. The secret to the Rural Oscars’ popularity is that they honour the people involved in these businesses and not just their product or services. They exist to sing the praises of those who work hard to keep our communities and rural economy ticking, but don’t seek the spotlight. These awards provide a cause for celebration in a time of great uncertainty in the countryside. Our local produce is second to none and there are many community heroes and businesses worthy of national recognition.”

Winter Solstice Event 2017.
ABC Invite you to join us for an hour of silent
contemplation during the Winter solstice on December 21st, at Lime tree
Farm, Hutts Lane , Ripon HG4 3DA 7.30 am and gather to prepare for an hour's
reflection at 8.22am till 9.22am .
The winter solstice, during the shortest day of the year, marks the moment when
the sun is at its most southern point in the daytime sky, directly over the
Tropic of Capricorn. The solstice has been celebrated for thousands of
years, and many of the traditions now associated with Christmas (for example
the Christmas tree) had their roots in winter solstice celebrations.
ABC is offering the chance to celebrate yuletide, practising a mindfulness-based approach as alternative to the hustle and bustle and commercialism of the festive season; time and space to truly reflect with others on your internal frame of reference and share your feelings in and around this wonderful experience and venue.
The cost is £17.50 per person.
All monies go towards generating funds for ABC to continue to help people (or professionals aiding people) with chemical dependency issues to work towards our long term ecological goals (building a tree house, constructing a polytunnel, maintaining the environment) in this wonderful and enchanting place.
This opportunity represents a unique experience, a "back-to-basics" approach to meditation and mindfulness in the spirit of finding oneself in nature. We always honour the ethos of the site; we leave only footprints. Please bring clothing appropriate to British winter time.
We are raising finances to carry out works on the site that complement the existing and renowned stone circle, bird hide and observatory. Owners Peter and Irene Foster are focused on the farm being a special place for people to retreat to and heal.
We do hope you can make it..... And tell others. We want to spread the word .
To book a place text your name and contact details to Darrell (Daz) on 07851448812
or email me timeandspaceretreats@gmail.com
Also it would be great if you forward this invite to anyone else you think might want to join in.
Thank you. This means so much to us ...and we know it will to you too once you have experienced this special time and space.
