Happy Sunday dear ones!
☀️

This time of year always inspires me. I get so many ideas that I get drawn to fulfil, inspiration comes from unexpected places and my spirit feels lifted as I get outdoors in the autumn air and see the ripe fruits and berries dripping from the trees and bushes.
What comforts my soul even more is that so many of them have medicinal qualities and have been plucked and used in teas, tinctures, syrups, jams and jellies by our ancestors- so in the act of foraging them I find something primal and beautiful. A connection to the past, to nature and to myself. To my great great great great grandmother whose name I may never know but who likely saw the wild rose wilt and turn into rose hip for her to gather in her basket or apron and create something to be enjoyed by herself and her family.

I’ve made bottles of rosehip syrup, a traditional recipe some of the older generations would remember as the only source of vitamin C they would have during the colder months.

There are some wonderful and simple recipes online, but for those who would rather one ready to take home we have them here at Prāna 🌹

If you would like to attend a workshop making medicine out of nature then stay tuned for a Hawthorn Heart Healing afternoon of foraging, tincture making and tea drinking ❤️

Hello my dears! 🧡
What a beautiful start to October we’ve had! This time of year brings so much unexpected energy and excitement for me. When summer ends it feels like a loss of possibility- the kids return to school and the weather starts to change but WOW does autumn have so much to offer.
I love to see the berries on the trees, apples and native fruits are abundant here! It reminds us that the hard work of the spring and the summer are coming to a close and now we can reap the rewards of our efforts.
What are your plans for this season? It’s a great time to consolidate your projects, harvest your thoughts and to reflect on what you’ve learned from your experiences this year so far. This is also the time of year where many of us start to pick up a book and look for nourishing and warming foods and drinks to keep our energy and our spirits in good health.
I often find that big life changes happen for me at this time of year, and this year is no different as we’re moving house! 🏡
But all that aside, I am so enjoying seeing the faces of the locals and their kiddies light up with the new products at the shop. I thought I’d share them here because I am also enjoying them.
Have a great day everyone xx

Our next Market is this Sunday 25th precious ones! 🍎💛
It’ll also be our 1 year anniversary of hosting the markets at the Cafè, it’s been fun and exciting but also challenging! As with anything in this country we’re at the mercy of the weather ☔️ not to mention other local and national events, illness and car troubles! 😂 But getting to know more of our local crafters, growers, makers and bakers has been so enjoyable, and seeing your sweet faces as you come and grab a cauli from Heol Glantawe when you could have gone to Tesco but you didn’t because you’re a legend.
Massive DIOLCHs to you all ❤️

💜Some exciting new products at Y Siop! 💜

Big thanks to Fungi Folk 🍄‍🟫who are a South Wales based small business growing medicinal mushrooms for tinctures 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 💚❤️

And my favourite supplier for all my herbal 🌿 remedy needs- Indigo Herbs Glastonbury 😍 which inspired my interest in plant power 💪 many moons ago 🌙 😘

Ill be expanding the Traditional Medicine at the shop and here I’ve chosen tinctures for their ease of use and potency, they’re one of my personal favourites when it comes to using herbal medicine in my healthcare 🌿

Have a stunning weekend pawb! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🌞

Beltane Blessings from me and my teeny May Queen Flora Belle 🌼🌷

May 1st is significant in the Celtic/pagan calendar; it marks a turning point in the seasons where we start to see the natural world bloom and blossom again 🌞🌷We feel more warmth in our souls with more sun on our skin! 🌞 Life is becoming abundant, creativity is sparked and opportunities for growth and greatness unfold 🥰🌿

Traditionally a May Queen and a Green Man would be chosen from the community to assist the celebrations and represent the spirit of creation, life, prosperity and abundance. Appreciation is shown for a new generation of Flora and Fauna and plenty of feasting and dancing would ensue, with the addition of a bonfire 🔥 to represent the coming warmth.

The May Tree (Hawthorn) is special today. You’ll see it in hedgerows and standing proud in fields and woodlands. It’s actually a shrub (but we won’t tell it that)
You can identify it by it’s beautiful tiny white flowers with a yellow centre, sometimes these flowers are flecked with pink. Don’t forget the thorns that give it its name! The uniquely shaped leaves are very newly grown so their colour is a very fresh, almost lime green. Hawthorn is one of my absolute favourites ❤️💚🤍💛🌸

If you’d like to mark this occasion for yourself or your family, a sweet tradition is to tie your intentions to a May tree 🌳 for the coming year. Hopes of prosperity and happiness can be written down and personalised, added to ribbon and tied to the branches to create a beautiful wishing tree 💕

As always, baking something with love from scratch or as close to from scratch as you can is another fun way to celebrate. The more decadent the better! Rich flavours and colours in sweet or savoury treats are a way to give thanks for all of the vibrance and abundance at this time 💐🥧

My personal favourite is to bask in a hot bath. 🛁 you can use oils, scents and flowers, herbs, salts, clays, bubbles, candles; the lot! There is no limit, just whatever makes you feel connected to the occasion. Big or small 😘

Choosing colours to wear as part of your outfit such as yellow, white, pink, lilac is simple but fun. 🤩 💜

Have a lovely day all ❤️❤️❤️

Early start for me and Belle! 🥰
We made a Prāna house blend of Mushroom 🍄‍🟫 Coffee!
A magical combination of Seven types of medicinal mushrooms like Reishi, Lion’s mane and Cordyceps 🍄🍄‍🟫
For immune support and focus 🧘
Including the nourishing adaptogens
🌼 Dandelion Root
🍫 Raw Cacao
🧡 Maca root
🌱 Ashwagandha

This blend means business! 👍 😋
The Cacao gives it a chocolate flavour (yum!)
I made a warm drink with oat milk for a little extra support this morning 🌅

This can be added to hot or cold drinks (banana- nut butter smoothie packs a powerful punch of goodness!) or even encapsulated as a no- nonsense approach; if you find making capsules as therapeutic as I do! 😂

Suggested intake is a teaspoon a day, or two capsules.
£24.99 for a 250g pouch makes it a steal compared to similar on the market 🤩

🌿 as with all traditional remedies and modern pharmaceuticals don’t forget to do a spot of your own research to make sure it’s right for you 🌿 👍

Lots of love ❤️

Our next Market lovelies 🥰 Looking forward! ❤️
