with gratitude to our travellers for their kind words
I had gone through some significant changes in my life and was feeling lost, I didn't really know who I was or what my purpose was. Finding Beth was pure good luck, I instantly felt that she could relate to me and her love for nature and how it was entwined into her work felt right for me .
Beth talked me through some of my experiences and helped me to look at them differently, she also helped me to recognise how much grief I had been holding onto and helped me tend to and process it .
I already had a love for nature but it deepened during my sessions with Beth, it became a powerful healer and has helped me find a place in a world that I often find difficult to relate to .
It's hard to really convey how much knowledge and strategies Beth brought to our sessions together, because it was so subtle and it gradually built up, to the point that during one of our final sessions I realised that everything had changed although nothing really had. All the seeds that had been provided by Beth had slowly come in to play. How I viewed the world had been moulded by years of trauma and neglect, and by addressing this my perspective changed. It was a beautiful moment of knowing that peace and calm had been there all the time, I just needed the right guidance and nurturing to access it.

Im struggling to find words to express the magnitude of what's happened here.
Thank you for your compassionate witnessing. As I sat in circle with all of us together and drank in the beauty of the experience, I truly wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else in the world last night.
One minute we’re laughing and I’m sensing my almost childlike connection to pleasure, the next moment I’m grieving the years I’ve felt lost, then a wave of relief washed through me in the safety of the sacred togetherness and sisterhood. What a ride! Full spectrum of emotions.
A profound moment in time for us as a group of women. Thank you so so much for creating this journey.
What you have created has been completely transformational, Beth. You wonderful, intelligent and magical woman; the storytelling, poetry, practices, invitations, humour, guidance has stirred and unearthed so much and I am taking away a primal knowing and a deep sense of trust in the experience, the earth and myself.
Could there be a greater gift? “This is how we heal” you said. Deep gratitude to you, my dear friend. Thank you for doing the work and, in doing so, guiding others through.

This has been a journey words cannot describe. Beth creates such a safe space of invitation that it is almost impossible not to connect with your authentic self either inwardly or outwardly. I reached some truly unexpected edges of myself and in doing so expanded. The old edges became part of some expanding plane of growth, a horizon from which to step outwards. Beth held space through the challenge and celebrated the absolute joy of our discoveries. Sometimes, in life, you meet a person who is doing the work that was meant for them and Beth is one such person. If you're curious, I can only say that working with Beth has been a true and humbling privilege. Jump in. She will catch you

What an impact my time with you over last year has had! Life is pretty tough at the moment but my foundations are so much more solid. I'm treating myself with love and respect and keeping integrity and I know from my head, heart, soul to my feet that these foundations are from the work i did in and outside the sessions with you. I just wanted you to know that. I don't think I can even put into words how much you have supported me. Something has changed within me, my very essence has changed because of our work and it's helped me so so much. Thankyou.

This has been a transformative journey of remembering and coming home, of many emotions and many chapters, with Beth and all life as my guide. A journey of deepening into connection with myself and the web of life, becoming more whole, understanding that I am nature, not separate.
Of expressing again and again my grief for the world’s pain, wading through it (but with Beth and the trees and birds to hear me, not alone) and finally unsticking, perhaps arriving to a place of radical acceptance.
Of finding (to my surprise, but not Beth’s) a spiritual yearning - an ancient and indigenously human pull towards reverence for and reciprocity with the Earth. Of shedding old relationships, and ways of thinking, and parts of me which hold me back and make me small. Of following Beth’s guidance to remember the wonder and playfulness of childhood. Rolypoly's in a sunny meadow and running around in the rain. Enchantment.
Through it all Beth walked beside me, with compassion and care. She called me from my head, into my mind-body, onto the land, and I took strength and healing and direction from her deep groundedness in herself and the community of life, in her unshakable belief in my wholeness and wildness which just needed to be uncovered. In her warmth, wisdom, warrior woman strength, her humour, authenticity and tenderness.
The land where we met, and the sacred web of life, spun a hammock around me….to hold me, for me to grow in, to sleep in, to dream in, and she showed me the interplay, conversations with and wisdom to be learned from all that dwells here right beside and around us.
I feel such gratitude to Beth, words can’t really hit the spot - she has such trust in and love for the land, in its abundance and in our innate wild wisdom Even domesticated comfort-loving me , and I begin, tentatively, to share her trust. She is a total inspiration to me. Thank you for guiding me towards myself, to be the best I can be.
