Jolly Moon

What a glorious day for our first inspirational talk in nature here at Jolly Moon (and on a new moon 🌑)

New energetic vibrations and connections were in full swing ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

We were educated by the one and only where he shared his incredible knowledge & passion of being a mushroom farmer and the benefits of including functional mushrooms in your health 💚

We enjoyed Jolly Moon grown mushroom teas and wild foraged mushroom risotto as well as toured the farm where all the magic happens ✨

It was a pleasure to welcome so many of you for an afternoon of all things mushrooms. Thank you to for opening the sauna at the end and thank you minnie for taking all the snaps. I think I might need to enroll her as chief marketing officer 📸

Blessing to you all and thank you again for coming 🙏🏻💚☀️🍄

The next tea & talk is on Saturday 6th June. We have guest speakers Gary & Caroline from The Spine of Albion coming to share their knowledge and wisdom about ancient Wi******er, ley lines and the spiritual connections this gorgeous country has!

We hope to see you there 🤗

A wonderful week at Jolly Moon Nature Club 🌍

This spring , our sessions have been centered around survival in the natural world - exploring forest alarm calls, understanding consequences and learning how different species adapt and thrive at this time of year.

Through hands on experiences like crafting willow hearts, toasting marshmallows over the fire and creating our own woodland consequences games , the children have been developing not only their knowledge of nature , but the confidence, creativity, and connection.

At Jolly Moon, our intention is to provide a safe, nurturing space where every child feels supported to learn, explore and belong - both within themselves and in the natural world around them.

Our next nature club sessions are

🌍 26th May
🌍 11th August
🌍 25th August
🌍 27th October

Best way to start the day! ☀️

What a treat that the lovely from opened up the box for this morning's 'fresh start'. Please please please can you do it again next Monday 🙏🏻

Mondays are my day off and I cannot think of a better way to start the day, it was a bit crisp to start with but my goodness it was enjoyable 🥰

When I'm in the sauna - I actually STOP
Not something I do much,
But I need ❤️

Thank you Eddie ❤️

Our community is key to the success of this project and we are so grateful to all those who came last night to our monthly music gathering around the fire. We were treated to a few new instruments, the shruti (my absolute favourite), Spanish guitar, a traditional Indian drum called a Dhol and so many beautiful voices to create the magic ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

As always I lost my phone in the evening so this is the only picture got but I think the shruti summed up the evening. Resonance ❤️

We look forward to welcoming you all back and new people next month on Wednesday 6th May. Link below to book 👇🏻

We are excited to add a new venue to our retreat schedule for 2026 -

🌿 Soundbath & Sauna Retreat at Jolly Moon Forest Garden 🌿
Join us for a deeply restorative morning or afternoon immersed in nature, sound and heat therapy at Jolly Moon Forest Garden in collaboration with The Sauna Works and Ecology of Sound.

🗓 Sunday 17th May
⏰ Sessions at 09:00 & 13:00

Each retreat includes:
✨ 60-minute Sound Bath
🔥 90-minute Wood-fired Sauna Experience including traditional whisking

🌿The Power of Sound
A sound bath uses instruments such as crystal bowls, gongs and chimes to create soothing vibrations that help guide the body into deep relaxation.

Benefits may include:
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved sleep and nervous system regulation
• Mental clarity and emotional balance
• A profound sense of calm and connection

🔥 Sauna & Traditional Whisking
Rooted in Nordic and Baltic traditions, sauna whisking (called vihta in Finland and venik in Russia) uses bundles of leafy branches to gently tap and sweep across the skin. It’s a beautiful blend of heat, touch and natural aromatherapy that transforms a simple sauna session.

Why We Whisk:
• Boosts Circulation – Gentle tapping stimulates blood flow, supporting natural detox processes.
• Glowing Skin – Warmth opens pores while the leaves gently exfoliate and nourish the skin.
• Muscle & Joint Relief – Heat and rhythmic movement melt tension and soothe tired muscles.
• Aromatherapy for the Mind – Heated leaves release calming earthy scents that ease stress and uplift the mood.
How It’s Done
Whisking begins once the body is fully warmed—usually during the second or third sauna round—when heat, steam and plant aromas combine for the most therapeutic effect.

🌼 Relax. Reset. Reconnect with nature.

Spaces are limited for this intimate retreat experience.

The first session will be a deep dive into the magical world of Functional Mushrooms with Jon.

Jon co-founded Myndful Mushrooms in 2022. A company that makes high potency extracts. He's passionate about health and wellbeing and absolutely loves being a mushroom farmer and wants to help people make informed choices about what to look for when buying functional mushrooms for your health.

His favourite mushroom is most definitely Reishi because of it's many benefits applicable to modern day living.

Happy International Women's Day
to you all 💞

Make you all take a moment and remember you are INCREDIBLE 💖

I want to honour my mother today! For presenting the most beautiful, authentic speech about her life and how it feels to find love again at 70 💖

Recently she was asked to speak at Radiant at Every Age event in Hertfordshire (our home town). It was an event to honour all women at every stage of their lives and it was beautifully put together and so inspiring.

As a woman fast approaching the 'mid life digits' I have lots of new questions, feelings and different hopes and dreams are coming through as well as the occasional panic attack and hot sweats, so I thought today was a good day to share some inspiration from the lady who created me.

A few words taken from my mum's speech which I feel is good advice advice 👇🏻

THE MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGED

THE BIGGEST SHIFT IN MY LIFE DIDN’T HAPPEN WHEN I MET THE MAN I’M WITH NOW.

IT HAPPENED WHEN I DECIDED THAT EVEN IF I NEVER MET ANYONE AGAIN… I WOULD STILL CHOOSE MYSELF.

I STOPPED ASKING, “WHO WILL LOVE ME?”

AND STARTED ASKING, “HOW DO I LOVE MYSELF?”

I BEGAN DRESSING HOW I WANTED.
SPEAKING HOW I FELT.
SAYING NO WHEN I MEANT NO.
SAYING YES WHEN I FELT JOY.

I STOPPED AUDITIONING FOR ROLES IN OTHER PEOPLE’S STORIES.

AND STARTED WRITING MY OWN.

THAT’S WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU CHOOSE YOURSELF — REALLY CHOOSE YOURSELF — SOMETHING SHIFTS IN THE UNIVERSE.

AND AT 70 YEARS OLD… LOVE FOUND ME.

NOT DESPERATE LOVE.
NOT CHAOTIC LOVE.
NOT “PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME” LOVE.

CALM LOVE.
KIND LOVE.
EQUAL LOVE.

LOVE WHERE I AM NOT SHRINKING.
LOVE WHERE I AM NOT FIXING.
LOVE WHERE I AM NOT PERFORMING.

LOVE WHERE I AM SIMPLY… ME.

By Lynne Walker
