Global warming, human mental illness and loss of animal habitat seem to be topics that appear frequently in the news and in day-to-day conversation. How can we take lessons from these urgent and serious issues into our personal and spiritual lives? How can we live in the modern world in a more authentic, peaceful and sustainable way, in line with nature?

Don’t worry – I can guide you through how to get started today, right now!

I love Turkish delight but all the packaging that comes in shop bought sweets is so disheartening! So making your own, which takes about 40 mins, is so much better for the soul and is still very tasty!

Bee wax wraps are a great replacement for cling film or for sandwich boxes. You can use them to wrap an apple, a sandwich, etc, or cover a dish that you are serving at a family buffet. They are very versatile!
