  Description

  We are in the process of developing a healing centre. It will be a place where people can come reconnect with themselves and with nature, while participating in daily life activities.
  We are at the beginning stages of the project.
  Its on a 65 acre farm which was an equestrian centre and we are converting some of the stables into practice spaces and living accommodation.
  The plan with the land is to develop it into a sanctuary for nature, planting native trees and returning the land to a natural habitat. We will create walkways to meander through.
  Theaim is to create an organic garden, growing as much of our own food as possible.
  Anybody with a passion for cooking, DIY or gardening is welcome. I enjoy being a tour guide to show you some of our beautiful countryside.
