 About 20 years ago, I was invited to a Women's Circle. It was a very tricky time in my life and I was in need of friendship, a non-judgemental space and some love. It was a lonely, scary time. That event was the beginning of a journey that continues to this day. In that special space, I began to find my feet again and I am now part of the Core Circle of that same Circle, welcoming women to our gatherings regularly throughout the year, providing that safe, non-judgemental space I needed all those years ago.
That first Circle met in a yurt, so I link yurts with a feeling of being looked after, a safe, non-judgemental space where people can begin to heal. For many years, I have dreamed of having my own yurt but couldn't see how it could ever happen. Earlier this year, I took some time for a bit of selfcare and development. During this time, any doubts I had about my path in life began to melt away and an inner confidence began to grow. I contacted the 'Yurt Man' at Highland Yurts and asked if I could visit. We went up to Strathdon and on my way home began to plan how I could make it happen. What had changed? Only my self belief... I had already been drawn to 'The Dam' at the farm, an old dam that had dried up long ago and was now completely overgrown. I had been imagining how I could create a place for people to come and benefit from nature. With the possible addition of the yurt, my dreams began to blossom, explode might be a better word! My partner/best friend spent hours and hours clearing the area and with a bit of help we are nearly there. The yurt is arriving in a few weeks time and by then I will have sown wildflower, woodland flower and grass seeds, planted a couple of small trees and parking spaces will have been created. The Yurt or 'The Sanctuary at Logie Newton' will be where I plan to work from, offering 1-2-1 sessions for all my clients, as well as small group sessions. I will continue to work a few hours from the Therapy Barn at the Thainstone Business Centre, Inverurie but the focus of my work with humans will be at 'The Sanctuary at Logie Newton'. I can't wait to welcome you there! PS Yes, the Women's Circle (Wo'Moon Circle) will also be back meeting in a yurt!
