    I’d like to say to all the “peepers” … please, just subscribe and when you watch a video “like” it and even share it. It doesn’t cost you anything nor does it hurt you but the impact for this channel and Colette is huge. It tells the algorithm to share the channel more widely so more people see it.
    Colette is doing something incredibly positive for our planet, our home, and for us, individually and it’s a small way you can help her and encourage her to continue in her wonderful efforts. Especially since you peep in and watch the results of her efforts. It seems to me it’s the least we can do.

    We’re recovering from Hurricane Helene in the mountains of North Carolina. We were lucky and didn’t sustain much damage, but my heart is broken for my mountains and my people. I was just thinking yesterday, “I need a visit with Collette.” Thank you for this respite. I wish you were my neighbor and we could ramble in your woods together and sit in the garden with a cup of tea. Seeing you here this morning is almost as good. Thank you for being a bright spot in the world and on mother earth. Blessings to you! ❤

    What a beautiful transitional time for you. This is GOOD.
    I am 71 and about to go out on my own for the first time in MY LIFE! I have very little $$ and I’ve waited for years to find government housing to get OUT of an unhealthy living arrangement. I now received a voucher for housing… have 3 months to find a place, so I am searching now for my first Apt. I am scared and excited. I have watched you for many years and have vicariously held onto strength from your own story. I won’t have a woodland… but if I can even have two pots of something organic.. green… and growing,
    It will represent my own success.
    For the first time I will have the chance to become my authentic self… on my own with ALL I have been learning about life.. people, relationships as Many have all fallen away. It’s probably a good thing and hoping for new doors to open.
    Mostly…. I am realizing that the relationship I have with “ MYSELF” is what will support my path forward.
    Thx Collette for your life…. As it has helped mine.
    My own journey
    Continues 🙏🙏☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And often its to older dogs who show the most joy. They find unadulterated joy and love in everyday activities without money. We can learn a lot from dogs....we are both animals after all. Enjoy your new life!

    When I was a child a very eccentric woman lived a few houses down from me. She was an older woman. The kids in the neighborhood would call her names (witch) being the primary term. She wore tule skirts without any over dress or fabric skirt. Lots of blush and red lipstick. Large amounts of costume jewelry and crowns 👑 on her head of different sizes. Ruffled scarves....I thought she was fabulous!!!!! I made a point to befriend her. I genuinely was impressed with everything related to this woman. We would have random conversations, and she would always have a hard candy ready for me....She still remained a mystery. I never seen children, grandchildren or spouse. It was only her...I still remember her so fondly. Living automatically. Living her way unapologetically. I used her as inspiration in my own life. I admire you being able to live automatically ,purpose driving. ❤

    Dear Colette, I have exactly the same feelings about the world in general at the moment. I have been worrying and terrorising myself about politics in America, the state of the EU, the state of GB politics, war in Ukraine, war in the Middle East, hurricanes and natural disasters happening world wide and I have realised that actually, I cant do a flipping thing about it!! Worry is just making me sad, tired and ill! So, I am going to do my own thing and live my life for the things I love and can do something about, my environment, my lifestyle, my health, my happiness. I will always care about everything else, but I can't carry it around with me anymore as though I am the only one who can do anything to bring it all to a happy conclusion! That way lies insanity and an early grave, neither of which particularly appeal to me! I love watching your channel and am happily subscribed. Lots of love to you and the wee Patsy. Debs X

    I thought you looked lovely today, I love your hair style and colour it really suits you and those gorgeous earrings too. Right that’s enough of the flattery, I agree the world is a frightening place , I am so anxious for our beautiful planet, I love connecting with nature , I’m fortunate enough to live in the countryside in Cornwall I’m surrounded by trees , I’m to old at 76 to buy land and create a woodland and I have never had enough money to buy a piece of land when I was young enough , but I applaud you for doing that and maybe inspiring other’s who maybe in that position to do just that. I must try the meditation thing I feel I need to find a way to rid my head of this anxiety . Wandering round your woodland is the best way to start my day so thank you for sharing it all with us.its nice to see little Patsy living her best life with you too.❤️

      What is it about these times where so many malign dark lunatics have risen from their hiding places into places of power, what is it in us who are actually electing such low beings? I feel like we are in Lord or the Rings or viking sagas and some dark force has crept over the land and the weak of mind/character are succumbing to it and becoming its army. In such times, we need to find the light, save the light, nurture the light until more good returns to the land. Like the Irish monasteries found, saved, nurtured the light of learning during the dark ages! Good luck to you, to us all!

    The perfect time for more self care. The head start/repair to Mother Earth you gave your land has reached the point where she and the land at Bealtaine are now largely on self-sustaining autopilot. It has reached the point where the woodland gives you more energy than you give it (literally and spiritually). Let the woodland thank you by helping infusing you with energies for more personal pursuits - spiritual healing, writing, crafting, music, art, etc etc. Its a time of transition, a joyous milestone! Enjoy it!!!

It took me a while to get on that journaling bandwagon but it really did help me be more bold within my own skin and taking care of myself. It's what prompted me to approach my childhood friend to start our channel, a mix of podcasts and videos. We both felt the need to embrace our cronehood, reclaim the word hag and talk about and show our passion for mother earth and the spiritual realm. I never thought I'd have the courage to do so but journaling is helping me make some positive changes and not to worry about what people think of my "yet another thing Trish is trying" I wish you the best and look forward to seeing new videos on your changes!

No grants, no permissions, no officials looking over my shoulder. I only started mine at the end of 2018, but even so, many of my tiny trees are now over my head, in just a few short years. That's at a very bleak site 1000ft up in mid Wales. The birdsong on spring mornings is now almost deafening, and we've got badgers, hares, pine martens and birds building nests in trees that are still only around 4ft tall. Now the trees are settling in, it's not as bleak as it used to be and there's a much milder microclimate developing in the clearings. It's such a pleasure to watch nature taking over.

    The Bealtaine Cottage project has been an inspiration for me for many years now. I don’t have the space to create a forest with thousands of trees, but I’m doing my best. But not everyone is able to do what you are doing, even with the best intentions. Usually it’s because they are afraid. Afraid to deviate from the norm, afraid to move into unknown and therefore dangerous territory. When all that is needed is seriously to look and listen. When I moved in, and my house was totally new, my neighbour took one look at the bare soil in the front yard and authoritatively said to me, you still have a lot of work to do. Looking at his front yard, the hint was clear: put tiles and concrete, maybe a couple of pots of geraniums. Needless to say, I had my own ideas… 😊

    Ah Colette, I'm so happy to see you again, rejuvenated by your retreat. How I long for connection to people who share my passions for Mother Earth, for celebrating the festivals peacefully around a fire. It seems to me, that even sacred celebrations are becoming commercialised and trendy, not in a good way. Maybe I'm getting old and cynical... I'm so thankful for your down to earth honesty and natural wisdom.

    Dear Colette, I come from a family who encouraged us to take an interest in world affairs. However now that I am 73 I also share your feelings about the political, economic and ecological chaos! I feel totally despondant towards everything negative in the news today. I have always believed in looking after my own corner of the world which I share with many feathered and furry friends... in return we have a small oasis of woodland and garden which feeds our bodies and souls. Channels like yours which uplift us are what I choose to watch... you are an example of the positive role social media can play, but there is so much to steer clear of as well. I only hope our children and grandchildren will have the support and education to make good decisions for themselves and their futures. Much love to you and all the lovely people who follow you. ❤️

    I have been following you since around 2020 and I too started an important fruitful journey exactly 20 years ago. I must say it has been big and human and spiritual too. As in the paradise you've created. Both your project and mine are about life. I thank you for this video because I too have to open up a little more and visualize those aspects of myself I have left a little behind and work on them.Becsuse, as yourself, it's taken full time devotion to make things work. I too am a single woman and have done the masculine part too in this journey. I have artistic passions as you have and I too need to get out there and lose some weight and be in better shape to be able to enjoy the outcome of my dedication of two whole decades of love and struggles. Finally, just to say that you are not alone when it comes to having to deal with the craziness and evilness of our governors, politicians and others in charge. I am in South America and it's gotten pretty ugly. But let's do what we came here to do as good humans. Let's continue our journey of beauty, health, love and joy because it'll outgrow the ugly, the greed and the rest not even worth mentioning!!! Blessings and love to you Colette. ✨ 💛 ✨ ☄️ ✌️ 🕊️

There has to come a time when we can relax and switch off. I don't follow news reports etc, but there is always someone who wants to tell me updates etc. Switch off wind down and enjoy what your life has to offer. I love to walk in my woodland garden or the the local nature reserve, most days I will walk for 2 miles, I have no need of a car, walking is my preference, local village not too far away, for supplies.Mostly I live in the world I have created for myself Suits my needs and peace of mind.

    Dear Collette. I have been a subscriber for years and have enjoyed the videos of your life on your little slice of heaven. You and I are about the same age and live very similar lives - mine on a small woodland farm in Central PA. My husband is a retired physician and I am a retired nurse. One of the things we have personally learned on our own health and maintaining healthy weight journeys is to shrink the hours of the day in which you eat.... a form of intermittent fasting. We don't eat anything until about 11 AM and then we have a large, mostly vegetable and home-raised egg breakfast. We eat our last meal by 5 PM.... no snacks, and nothing but water or unsweetened herb tea after our supper. I lost almost 20 pounds over a year period, just by doing that. From a medical science point of view, it helps to boost the functioning of your pancreas as well. We feel better and have adapted to this schedule nicely. Best of luck to you in your journey. And by the way.... I love the haircut - it truly suits you!!! Love and Peace from Pennsylvania

    Your message about nurturing nature resonates with me. Although I'm in a major metropolis of Los Angeles, I find refuge in a property of over 50 years (where my parents raised their family and a place I've returned to care for my mother in her later years). Many fruit trees were planted and are still fruiting while I invest my daily care to growing new harvests. It is a source of joy and reprieve from the world. I've followed your channel for months/years and find it interesting to see commonalities, even many miles away on the globe.

I was thinking about you recently and wondering how all was at Bealtaine 💚 With a world gone mad, my home and garden are my sanctuary 💚🏡 I’m with you in what is important to me… I knit, sew, stitch, bake, plant and tend my garden. I no longer dye my hair and I embrace middle age! That doesn’t mean I am letting myself ‘go’ … I just don’t need to be anything different than who I am 💚 I noticed immediately you are looking spectacular today! Your hair, outfit and accessories are beautiful. I think respecting ourselves by taking care of our appearance is good for our health, both mentally and physically. Can’t wait to see more of whatever you put on your channel 🏡💚 xx
