SPECIAL EVENT.

We at ABC are pleased to be holding a collaborative, alternative, beneficial Sound Gong Bath Meditation experience, with Hazel Leigh of Sirona Spirit, on our Solo Day on Saturday 13th July from 10 am till 4pm at Lime Tree Farm Hutts Lane, Ripon. HG4 3DA.

Hazel Leigh.

Our day will start with a brief introduction and an explanation of the benefits of the gong, followed by a short breathing exercise to promote the flow of energy and to create a receptive mind-body state for deep relaxation and meditation as it is important to be comfortable and receptive to this experience.

The gongs are then played for 30 to 60 minutes to help purify and cleanse the subconscious and awaken the soul to a transcendent state of awareness.

This is a special event and is priced at an introductory offer £25.00 with a healthy lunch included, for you and your friends to enjoy. 

We will encompass other aspects on your Solo Day such as Meditation and mindfulness through conservation and the vow of Silence in the Stone Circle.

Please call Darrell 07851448812 to book a place for you and your friends.

A Snail's pace.

Do you ever find you are making progress going at a snail’s pace as the saying goes?

It's true we often struggle with trying to do too much and getting overwhelmed. ABC has been really trying to implement small changes, baby steps… We often wonder if that really works. 

Does going at a snail’s pace, really work? 

Yes it does, but you have to remember it takes time and results will not be instant but it is worth it when you change that feeling of being overwhelmed to feeling like “I can do this one small step at a time”

ABC has had over 17,000 hits to our website, with recent overseas visitors. With the award we received from the countryside alliance and the love and nurture people bring to this special place, it has been worth the effort and dedication.

This weekend June 8th 2019, we unearthed some old ploughs from the undergrowth, even though it was raining. 

The plough is like a metaphor for the work we are doing at Lime tree farm preparing the earth for seeds and new growth.

The air was fresh and clean and with the peace of Limetree Farm, the bird song and our meditation of letting go of life's troubles as always really works.

The start of Summer.

Yesterday,1st of June 2019, the start of Summer.
We placed a metal sign above the neighbours cottage at Lime Tree farm and this will look great when, eventually, it weathers in time.

We meditated in the roundhouse and stone circle and a small cabbage white butterfly was following us and was beautiful, as it fluttered to and fro, along with the sound of the Curlews and Red Kites. The Red kite being somewhat rare in some parts of Britain.

We all have become experts at planning and anticipating the fun of summer, but when it happens not-the-way-it-should, we feel disappointed and look back with regret, or begin to look ahead at something else with anticipation or worse, increased stress and anxiety.

(This is the constant work of our busy Woodpecker type minds that tap continuously, causing irritability.)

You may be thinking of that family holiday you so looked forward to…then you are there and your kids are acting up, you are reliving that dysfunctional family dynamic again, your partner is miserable. And you just want to go home and put the kids back in a summer camp, wondering what happened.

Summer as a whole can look and feel like this. You look forward to it with excitement. But after week 2 of being on your own with the kids, you are counting down to back-to-school fever and the cycle continues but it does not have to. 


Being present, in the moment without judgment does not always come naturally and takes effort. (Surely we can all relate to that but can we admit it!) And it’s doubly hard when we don’t have the time and space to ourselves that our sanity desperately needs (a.k.a. that refreshing summer breeze when we feel good in our skin.)

This is why at ABC we provide a space to unwind and share a few simple tips to support our wellbeing through the summer months and more importantly about living in the now. 

These tips are great to practice to anchor you when the familiar emotions take over – fear, guilt, regret, anxiety, worry,  imposter syndrome or getting over relationship breakups. 

They are also good go-to’s when you fall out of balance, or go off track, or make that mistake and start ruminating into self-criticism. But best of all they are super preventative techniques that will help keep you keep grounded, with extra perspective and the art of being in the moment.
