Autumn abundance at the Hearth! 🍂🍏🦉

Holding the black walnuts harvested from trees planted over 50 years ago by Ailsa’s parents! As well as picking crisp apples from our orchard!

It’s times like these where nature always finds a way to remind us to slow down and reconnect

If you are looking for a gentle space to unplug, breathe in the crisp autumn air, and return to yourself, our doors in Grand Pré are always open!

As health professionals who use touch, we should be experts in negotiating boundaries and consent.

Touch is an instinctive language essential for nervous system regulation, physical health, and mental well-being. However, navigating professional touch requires a strong foundation in conscious consent.

What we will explore:
• How to uphold your professional capacity when working with touch.
• The beneficial effects of conscious touch and oxytocin release.
• Tools to bring your clients to a place of peace, empowerment, and self-connection.

Discover a gentle, nourishing approach to skincare that supports healthy aging, circulation, relaxation, and self-connection.

- Explore natural skincare ingredients and routines

Join us for our final Celtic Retreat of 2026:
The Morrigan's Mystery: Samhain Retreat

A deep journey into shadow, sovereignty and ancestral wisdom.

- Discover how darkness can hold space for great light
- Re-member your qualities, interests, talents and inclinations that were ignored or stifled in the past
- Find renewed vigour and zest for life by uncovering your creativity
- Nurture your Self with food and people that support you
- Take time to rest and renew while not distracting your Self from the important work of being YOU.
- Prepare for the coming dark time of year with nourishment and hope

When the veil thins and the year darkens, we turn to the Morrígan — Great Queen and guardian of transformation. In sacred space, we meet endings not as loss, but as thresholds to deeper truth. Through ritual, dreamwork, and quiet reflection, we honor our ancestors, release what must die, and reclaim our power in the stillness of the dark. This is a time of death, rebirth, and fierce grace.

Touch is an instinctive, natural language that we can all speak and understand. It’s essential for stimulating our nervous system and promoting healthy physical development.

As touch professionals we should be experts in negotiating boundaries and consent around touch.

Last weekend we held our annual fall equinox yoga retreat. What a beautiful few days of slowing down, breathing deeply, moving gently, and reconnecting with ourselves and one another.

Together we explored the relationship between breath, movement, and the body, taking time to notice what was asking for our attention. We worked with simple poses, explored different ways of breathing, rested deeply, and allowed movement to become a way of listening rather than striving.

And, as always, some of the magic happened in the spaces between the practices — sharing nourishing locally sourced meals, conversation, laughter, quiet moments, and the simple gift of being together in community.

The Fall Equinox offered a beautiful invitation to pause, take stock, and begin turning inward as the season changes.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a warm and welcoming circle. 🍁✨
