East Anglian Daily Times- we are in the papers. This weekend on the meadow.

Hi all,

We have made it into East Anglian Daily Times! It is been a busy week putting the word out there. Nick arranged a photoshoot for us in Norwich on Wednesday and he and Rob were interviewed by East Anglian Daily Times on the phone. We are not quite a farm as the title suggests but we do offer the things they write about. Here is the lovely article:

This weekend we are heading to the meadow with a group of volunteers. We are going to tend the trees, cut the wood that fell in the recent storms, make bee homes, and more and most importantly enjoy the meadow and each other's company. Our partner Satya Staziker, local minister and yoga teacher will lead a Labyrinth workshop on Sunday. Please contact us if you are interested in joining us this weekend at [email protected]

We are planning to host a crowdfunding tea party, next Sunday at our home in Norwich. Watch this space for more information.

Thank you for all your support. Please spread the word.

Warmest,

Sebastiana on behalf of Ecotherapy East team

Handmade Green Man Wood Carving

Beautiful handmade green man wood carving. Artist wrote:"Green men feature in medieval church carvings as a reminder of the wild pagan spirit lurking beneath the surface of us all. It's a gentle nudge to keep me aware that I may have a veneer of civilisation but am never completely tame. Each carved face is unique and represents 30-50 hours of work,currently made with locally sourced lime and recycled mahogany wood."Please ask for a photo.
