Nature’s Spring Replenishing

Spring 2011 has followed the pattern of the last few Seasons: it is clearly defined and determined to portray its glorious talent for showing off at pace! The colours of Spring are full of the exuberance of youth; fresh, vibrant and bristling with joyous intent. Spring light has clarity unmatched and through budding boughs, and on rippling lakes it dapples and delights us, and makes us feel young again.

The Yorkshire School of Natural Healing believes that a reverent connection to Nature is central to our feeling at one with our World. Four Seasons is a collection of photographs taken locally by Richard Sara-Gray celebrating the colours, textures and lighting of the cycle of growth and replenishment that is our year. We are delighted to share with you the third cycle of the series, Nature’s Spring Replenishing, and these deeply personal and yet universal images.

The Astrology of 2011

Created by Donna Taylor

Everything you can imagine is real.
Pablo Picasso

2011 looks like being another fast-paced, jam-packed year with plenty going on in the news to keep us all riveted. There will be revolutions, sudden change, severe floods and earthquakes, more than the normal amount of chaos and the continuing collapse of the old power structures. We all need to make time to ground ourselves and remain centered during these unstable times.

We also need to make sure our thoughts and beliefs are positive and empowering, as the energies are becoming quicker and more refined which means that the time lag between what you think and feel and what you end up experiencing is becoming smaller. Keep holding the vision of what you wish to become whilst focusing on love, gratitude and joy, and you will move forward at a rapid pace.

The highlight of the year is a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Aries which offers all of us the potential to throw off our shackles and pursue our dreams and visions. You will thrive in 2011 if you can be bold, inspired, innovative and enterprising. This is a year which encourages new beginnings, action and big ideas. So whatever you want to do, this is the year to make it happen.

Four Seasons – A Celebration : Winter

Created by Rik Sara-Gray

A reverent connection to Nature is central to our feeling at one with ourselves.

Four Seasons is a collection of photographs taken locally by Richard Sara-Gray who celebrates the colours, textures and light of each cycle of growth and replenishment in the here and now throughout the year ahead. We are delighted to share with you the first two cycles of the series, Autumn 2010 and Winter 2010/11, and these deeply personal and yet universal images.

Winter Blues and Other Colours 2010/2011

Winter has started early this year and in many ways has been harder and colder than any in recent memory. The cold snap and copious snowfalls here in Yorkshire, created havoc and distress for thousands and opportunities for others in December 2010.

Winter light, at its brightest, sharpens the images, creating stark contrasts and austere beauty wherever one chooses to look. At its gloomiest it has a weight that only lifts with the lengthening of the days.

‘The colour of springtime is in the flowers, the colour of winter is in the imagination.’
