🍂🌱 October is a beautiful time the.vedanta. As the seasons shift, there’s still so much to do, to nurture and to prepare for the months ahead.

Today, we focused on getting a whole bed ready for planting broad beans to grow over winter. It’s a lovely reminder that even as the garden begins to slow down, we’re already sowing the seeds for next spring. 🌱

As I left the house this morning, the rain was falling, but by the time we arrived at The Vedanta, the sun had come out ready for a special day of community, connection and caring for our Earth. 💛

💚 So many thank-yous today!

📷 A huge thank you to Dance Free for generously gifting us camera equipment to help capture and share our journey.

📸 Thank you to Sam (Lecturer) & Libby (student) from, BA Photography at University of Lincoln, who joined us to begin capturing the people, stories and connections growing through our regenerative gardening project.

🌳 A big thank you to menofmegin, who have begun mapping out the woodland and creating a fire circle.

Regenerative gardening is about so much more than growing food. It’s about sharing skills, caring for the land and creating spaces where people and nature can flourish together.

Feeling very grateful to everyone who brought their energy, kindness and care today. 💚

🌳🌿 Learning from the Wisdom of the Woods 🪷

Today, we Renatured enjoyed a beautiful and reflective field trip to Strunch Hill Wood on the Doddington Hall Estate, exploring what ancient woodland can teach us about creating our organic, no-dig, eight-petalled lotus flower regenerative garden at the.vedanta. Walking among the wise old trees, we slowed down, observed and reflected on the canopy, understory, field layer, woodland floor, living soil, deadwood, edges, glades and water. We considered how light, moisture, soil and the changing seasons influence what grows, where and when, and how these observations can guide our planting plans for the year ahead. 🌱

Our time in the woodland taught us that reflective practice begins with noticing, questioning and learning from nature before taking action. We thought about how we can protect and nurture the woodland at the Vedanta, what we need to monitor, who might help us and how we can work with nature rather than against it. These are the very principles at the heart of our regenerative lotus flower garden caring for the soil, encouraging biodiversity and creating a space where people and nature can flourish together. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Land and Leaf Collective for so generously sharing their space with us and making this wonderful learning experience possible. 💚 We look forward to bringing our reflections and inspiration back to the garden next week. 🌿🪷

Today’s Kundalini Yoga session at Mint Lane Café was an exploration of birth, life, death and rebirth. 🍄✨

We took inspiration from the extraordinary resurrection mushroom (the fairy ring!) …a shapeshifter that dries out during the summer, seemingly disappearing, only to take form again when the rains return.

What can we learn from this little Guru of the natural world?

That sometimes we need to surrender our old form. To become still. To trust the cycles of life. And when the conditions are right, to soften, expand and emerge again, renewed.

We moved, breathed and explored these cycles together, finishing our practice by chanting the fabulous Sa Ta Na Ma celebrating the truth within us through birth, life, death and rebirth.

A beautiful reminder that transformation is part of being alive. 🌧️🍄🌱

Sat Nam. 🙏

Our beautiful eight-petalled flower is really starting to take shape at The Vedanta.

As you might be able to see from the lovely images Kate took today, the middle section is beginning to emerge, bringing the whole design together.

The eight petals represent our eight values, the eight limbs of Yoga, and the eight weeks of the programme, each one an important part of the journey.

We’re very much enjoying watching it develop and evolve, piece by piece. It feels like such a beautiful, creative and growing journey, and it’s wonderful to see the vision gradually coming to life. 🌿🌸✨

🌱 Today we spent some time exploring the second of our Renatured values: Steady Observance.

For those taking part in our Return to the Land project at the Vedanta, it was a chance to slow down, pay attention and notice what’s happening around us learning through observation, connection and simply being present with the land.

It was also a day of learning for those who took part in the first module of Continued Professional Development with Land and Leaf Collective. Another opportunity to deepen our knowledge base through Forest School Leader training and keep building on the skills that feed back into the work we do at Renatured.

Different places, different kinds of learning, but the same underlying value: observe, notice, learn and grow. 🌿

A few photos from today say the rest. 📸💚

Our first day returning to the land has been a beautiful deeper dive into the heritage here at the Vedanta.

We began our morning with a visit to an old well dedicated to Saint Anne. Tucked quietly into the landscape, the well feels almost forgotten now, yet carries traces of the people who once cared for this place and the waters that have flowed through it. Beside the well is a stone bearing these lovely words:

“Clear may thy waters ever flow,
Nor Gusts of Ruffling Tempest Know,
Pure and Unsullied as the fair,
who emblematic name you bear.”

Walking back, the landscape offered its own little moments of magic. We watched geese flying down towards the lake and tiny baby frogs jumping through the grasses…abundance was all around us.

We then gathered for a shared picnic before beginning our work on the first petal of our regenerative flower garden, which is taking shape in the design of an eight-petalled flower.

A day of heritage, nature, shared food and hands in the earth…a beautiful beginning to our return to the land. 🪴🙏🏻

What an incredible day we’ve had, launching our Return to the Land programme here at The Vedanta.

On this stunning September day, we created the centre of our eight-petalled flower a beautiful circular heart from which everything else will grow.

We have begun this project at the end of September, under the full moon. It feels like a significant moment: the beginning of a new cycle and a whole new chapter.

And here we are, pictured together ready to step into all that comes next.

A huge thank you to Dr. Sandra Varga for her talk and demonstration on soil health and a heartfelt thank you to Kate Lynch for her beautiful artwork and for helping to bring the vision of our eight-petalled flower to life.

And an enormous thank you to Harriet for hosting us so warmly here at the Vedanta, to Shyam for the incredible food that was served today and to Adam for a very special Yoga class!WOW!

A wonderful feeling of connection, gratitude, new beginnings and possibility.🌕🌿

🌱 Preparing to Return to the Land 🌱

We’re busy preparing to welcome people to our new Return to the Land sessions, beginning next Monday 28th September 2026 at .vedanta

We’re really looking forward to exploring a creative, hands-on approach to regenerative farming, working with the land in ways that help restore soil, encourage biodiversity, strengthen local ecosystems and create a healthier, more resilient landscape for the future.

Our first project will be something close to our hearts, the design is underway to create a garden in the shape of an eight-petalled lotus.

In Lincolnshire, where farming and the landscape are such an important part of our heritage and everyday lives, regenerative approaches give us an opportunity to think about how we can care for the land while continuing to grow, learn and produce food in ways that can be sustained for generations to come.

We are looking forward to sharing the journey with you and to seeing our eight-petalled lotus garden begin to take shape.
