A Mother's Feedback

The Circle has been a real source of support and nourishment for me as I emerged from a tricky birth into my fourth trimester. It’s been wonderful and very grounding to begin each new week surrounded by community, expertise and encouragement - not to mention cups of tea made by someone else, and drunk while hot! The Circle has become a touchstone of my week and has supported my journey not just with breastfeeding but also with finding my feet as a new mum in general. Thank you so much Thomasina, Simi and Alison!

Simi Wilhelm Shah , Alison Shaloe and Thomasina Lowe's Offering at 10am - 12pm on Mondays (drop-in at any time).

The latest piece from local artist @jencableart (Hothouse Flower) to beautifully adorn the wall of Moon. Hothouse flowers' colours may be brilliant and their petals flawless, yet their beauty is fragile—remove them from the tightly controlled environment of the greenhouse, and they wither. Every aspect of their existence depends on external care. They embody luxury, thriving in isolation from the harsher realities of wind, rain, and change.   In contrast, wild flowers can emerge anywhere, on rocky soil, under shifting skies, and on wind swept plains (much like the Heath at the moment😉).  Their blossoms endure cold snaps, nibbles from local insects, and sudden brushes with curious dogs.  Though their stems may bend and their petals may bear marks of struggle, these are marks of endurance, not weakness. True vitality doesn’t depend on shelter from difficulty but on balance with the environment, responding flexibly to what life provides. Where the hot house flower dazzles briefly, natural health endures. One fades with the loss of its careful protection; the other thrives precisely because it has learned to live and bloom in the open air.   So this Easter break, take a moment to step onto the Heath or Waterlow Park and enjoy the daffodils nodding gently in the breeze and the last of the crocuses pushing through. Take a minute to enjoy the crisp air, flashes of green, new life, and the distant rustle of trees whilst you enjoy a quiet moment of renewal and connection with the season.
