I am no longer waiting for a special occasion; I burn the best candles on ordinary days.
I am no longer waiting for the house to be clean; I fill it with people who understand that even dust is Sacred.
I am no longer waiting for everyone to understand me; It’s just not their task
I am no longer waiting for the perfect children; my children have their own names that burn as brightly as any star.
I am no longer waiting for the other shoe to drop; It already did, and I survived.
I am no longer waiting for the time to be right; the time is always now.
I am no longer waiting for the mate who will complete me; I am grateful to be so warmly, tenderly held.
I am no longer waiting for a quiet moment; my heart can be stilled whenever it is called.
I am no longer waiting for the world to be at peace; I unclench my grasp and breathe peace in and out.
I am no longer waiting to do something great; being awake to carry my grain of sand is enough.
I am no longer waiting to be recognized; I know that I dance in a holy circle.
I am no longer waiting for Forgiveness.
I believe, I Believe.

Here at our beautiful Fig and Moon home, as dusk draws in, we enjoy our last retreat day of our season…. What a fabulous year it’s been despite some tricky obstacles. Natures soundtrack has been in full force today (put sound on video!) - playing a huge part in today’s retreat. You really feel as though you are sharing this space with nature, at one, working together. We love that…
Thank you so much to all that have joined us on this years’ journey, in our special home.
More experiences and revelations will be had together again soon and we can’t wait to share our new plans with you!
Peace, love and all good things. Rose x

It’s easy to start feeling a bit glum as the evenings start to draw in. The arrival of blackberries, however ALWAYS perks me up! Giving gratitude to Mother Nature doing it’s thing, providing for us is a great way to be mindful and grounded.
No prizes for guessing what I’m making from my garden haul!!!
We also have our final opportunity to attend MINI RETREAT DAYS on 18th September!!
*Yoga LIMITED SPACES LEFT
*Walking and Yoga

Let’s skip into autumn feeling rested and revitalised!!!

The yoga tent looks so inviting and I can’t wait to welcome our last retreaters of the year in not too long.
We have spaces on the singing, walking/yoga and yoga mini retreats all happening on Saturday 18th September.
It’s been a busy summer and I can’t wait to share the last of the summer (maybe it’s officially autumn) sunshine!
The tent has been such a welcome place to retreat myself and it’s been a wonderful space to share with everyone who’s joined us in our first year at Heligan Mill.
Looking forward to welcoming our last retreaters of the year, with love, Sarah xx

A beautiful Friday for a yoga retreat at - it is such a pleasure to prep the yoga tent ready for our retreaters today.
Taking time for more stillness, more calm and self care - what a wonderful gift to self, and I am so looking forward to sharing this space with others.
A hidden spot, away from the summer crowds in Cornwall, a rare find this time of year!

The endless horizon.

Summer skies and sunlit trees. A few days off someone else is just what the doctor ordered….. another reminder to take time out. Go somewhere else. See good people. Fill your cup.

The yoga tent in all its glory!! Sun beaming down producing a natural wallpaper of trees… 😍🏕🧘♀️
…with some yogis gently stretching on retreat a few weeks back.
We still have some limited places available on retreats this year, which will finish for the season in September.
Various ‘mini retreats’ as well as day retreats up for grabs to grab that last bit of calm to close the summer. 🙏

“Meditation doesn’t have to be somber” I wish I could remember where I read that this week, because it is such a glorious and simple reminder, thanks to anyone who has ever said this or reminded someone of this, I am very grateful I caught that message this week 💛
It’s been a busy week and feels like a long time since the yoga tent was up and Rose took this pic of me - complete with giant green leaf hat which I LOVE - this could definitely be a winning style if we can get the leaves to balance right, I will go and do some investigating, maybe the spiky leaves will help it stay put!
I hope the sight of a smiling meditation complete with leaf helps spread the reminder that can be full of
Happy Friday and love to all, from Sarah at the mill ###

Retreating in the water - feeling the gratitude.
A few nights back I was so shattered. But it was hot and me a friend thought we should have a dip & I just knew I shouldn’t give in to the tiredness. How glad I am that I didn’t….
As I looked around at the flowing river of Dartmoor - water tumbling over the rocks, I felt a wash of gratitude. Such a powerful and healing emotion. Being mindful of our surroundings and taking it all in is so great for our self care.
60 sec feel good task for you then……
💧Look around you….What are you grateful for? There will be something.

Blue skies forecast for our walking and yoga retreat tomorrow 🌞💙
Have been so enjoying seeing wide open and small glimmers of blue sky from various spots this week.
From thistle homes for ladybirds to inviting paths and home grown orange blooms - everything in nature is looking glorious against a touch of blue blue blue!
The tent is going up today in preparation for our retreat tomorrow, it’s so wonderful to be putting it up in the sun shine - what a treat ⛺️🏕

Giving yourself time to retreat - in whatever way you love - has become one of my most favourite things to do and share with others. What I really love is finding small ways to experience the feeling of being on retreat - laying back in the sea and just being a floating thing, eating food outside, remembering to breath and take a step back before responding and moving forward.
I am writing this on Thursday because today I am on a more immersive, 2 day retreat experience. Completely stepping away from the phone and computer and need to be online - what a feeling!
In preparing to go on retreat I am feeling excited, full of anticipation and eager to be surrounded by that nourishing and supportive place. If I wish I can spend the whole time resting, or I might choose to move, it's my time for me to play with as I choose - I can't wait!
Of course the first time I ever went on one of these retreats I felt very different, I was nervous, had no idea what to expect and no idea I would ever feel this excited to be making time to return again and again.
With love from Sarah - currently resting back x
In the second picture you can see me at the front, Rose and Gary at the back - out on our recce for our Walking & Yoga Retreat, which is taking place this Tuesday 20th July - there are currently two places available - we will be observing 1 meter plus social distancing throughout.

Last week I was so happy to be back at The Lost Gardens of Heligan - not as a gardener or as part of the marketing team where I’ve worked before (jobs I had and loved quite some time ago now!) but leading yoga classes in their tent and meditation in the amazing Jungle!
The experience was full of child like joy for me, look how excited I am about heading to the tent for the first time 🤦♀️😆 And getting to try out the rope bridge and sit under giant green leaves and lay on the usually busy paths was all rather magical.
The weather was incredibly kind for our evening of meditation in the Jungle but much less so yesterday evening for yoga, we were indeed incredibly close to the aliveness of nature for that class!
Looking forward to collaborating with our neighbours again some time.
With love from a now dried off but still full of happiness Sarah xx

This is a beach I was able to walk to from Heligan Mill yesterday. The first time since moving in 6 months ago.
I’ve moved house a lot - every time I move, about 6 months in I have a worry that it’s not where I want to be living. Perhaps the adrenaline stops flowing after a big a change in situation around this time or I’ve just learnt this behaviour over the years.
Thankfully I’ve also been aware of this pattern for a while and I do know it will pass - and with more ease if I allow myself to feel the mind state it creates, rather than ignoring or trying to block it out.
Yesterday it felt like my body knew this is where I needed to walk - my mind was soothed by the simple movement of the walk and the exploration of somewhere sort of familiar but also new - and I know it will bring more nourishment as I undoubtedly return here again and again (despite the ridiculously steep steps some amazing engineer has put in place so we can reach this beauty of a beach!)
Sharing with love from Sarah on this lovely sunny Friday in Cornwall, now slightly more soothed by the sea (next time I will remember the swim stuff!) 💛

My singing journey - 5th instalment!
In 2015 I released my first EP ‘fears of yesterday’ - a real personal achievement and a raw recording of a handful of my fave songs I’d written so far. I was lucky to have some fantastic musicians involved including the wonderful on drums who I remember being so humbly blown away by his next level skill and professionalism, even on my little project!
That year I also got a job doing backing vocals for American pop star ‘LIVVIA’ supporting Meghan Trainor on the ‘All About That Bass’ Europe tour. We also supported Lindsay Stirling for a US tour shortly after…. I absolutely love doing session work and with this particular job, with the musicians and people I got to know made this particular job a pretty incredible experience.
One of the amazing things about working in music is the people you meet. You form lifelong memories with people and meet like minded people which you therefore tend to connect easily with.
This felt like the year of industry lessons for me! I felt it upped my professional game hugely on many levels and learnt about the ups and downs / consequences of living a touring life if you were to do it full time. Which is a very tempting idea… I also felt it gave me a drop more belief in myself which we all need from time to time ;)
for more info our which aim to leave you feeling light and invigorated after doing lots of singing in a beautiful environment. 🌈
I am also running a workshop this Saturday!
Please DM with any questions.

The play time collection! Just spending time in the yoga tent gives me a feeling of child like joy.
Moving because it’s fun, because it frees, just because why not, can be so unbelievably nourishing.
This week we’ve had a fire slowly burning away in the paddock and it’s made being in the yoga tent feel like a proper camp. The yoga tent has become my den!
Note to self - keep making time for play, for things that make you, you.
Happy weekend to all with love from Sarah - with toes in the air because she really does care (for herself - because it’s important to do that)

Sooo enjoying seeing flowers beginning to bloom around me.... amongst these uncertain times we can’t deny that life is still happening and can be bright if we choose to find some light - appreciating what’s around us will make everything around us better.
Pictured are some of the final survivors from a beautiful bouquet; transferring the pretty berries and foliage into a little jam jar has brought a new lease of life to my sink window sill! Still plenty of life in these yet... 💐 swipe right to smell the roses! 🌹
Love Rose 🌹;)

My singing journey - 4th instalment!
So the teaching projects grew. I had a solid client base for private coaching and also began working for other establishments as a vocal coach; various Colleges and music schools like and ran some band workshops and summer schools too. I loved (and still love!) teaching and sharing my experience with a variety of people and covering various musical skills, from technique to career development. It totally made/makes me a better singer myself too and vice versa.
During these years I continued to grow as an artist and kept gigging, soaking up as many opportunities as possible. I squeezed in various bits of session work when I could, such as backing vocalist work and recording - notable names included the talented and lovely man from Go West.
At times I was definitely asking too much of myself and learnt valuable lessons along the way about looking after myself.
2015 felt like a big year for me with my first release....

Last weekend when we held our first ever singing taster session...
Beautiful vocals were coming from the tent from our lovely retreaters Nic, and fabulous professional singing teacher of Fig & Moon Retreats 😉
It was such a wonderful moment to finally share the space with others and to hear soulful voices drifting into the surrounding woodland.
This weekend looks set to be another glorious one - the tent is now down, giving the grass some time to recover and we will be back with three sessions to choose from on Sunday 20th June.
There will be Yoga, Singing and Dance on offer - let’s us know if you’d like more info and we will share more details here on Monday.
Happy Friday to all, with love from Sarah x

A rainy walk to the beach this Sunday in Cornwall.
As soon as my feet touched the sand a fine misty rain started - the sea was going crazy and I had the beach to myself.
Given the weather not a huge surprise but even when it’s rainy what a treat to have the beach to yourself for a little while.
If you’re looking for quiet spaces to spend time this coming bank holiday weekend- we have the perfect spot at Heligan Mill, where we will be holding our first ever retreat day on Saturday 29th May.
