Hello Sandra, welcome. I am from the US as well, California, this is a great group. I’m doing the same for Sleep for leaf.

Welcome Chris!

Welcome Katie!

Hi Jane, Welcome to the group. I gasped when I read your story and then breathed a sigh of relief that you are here with us now. I live in California, and I too first was introduced to Alastair on escape. The show became truly addictive for me in a very good way, and brings me much enjoyment. You are 100% correct about Alastair. His calm manner is infectious and soothing. Plus, his personality is so wonderful. I’m so glad you are with us in the group. There are so many wonderful things to explore from meditations to retreats. If I didn’t live in California, I would go on as many retreats as possible with the group. Anyway, I wish you were truly wonderful day today!

What a beautiful photo and beautiful dogs.

thank you for sharing this with us, Karen and welcome to the group! So glad you were here with us. It’s a wonderful and supportive group.

Hello Lindsey! Welcome

I’m not quite sure how I got here other than I am an avid watcher of escape to the country and looked up Alastair one day online and somehow found a link to all of this wonderful information that we have. I’ll be on the online session on Tuesday at the end of the month and hope to do them every Tuesday morning, my time here.

Let’s spread the love and good wishes. The world needs all of us now.

Welcome Elizabeth. I’m in California. What an international group we have.

Welcome Lisa! I will be on the October 25th meditation online joining from California. I’m so looking forward to this group meditation.

Welcome Tanja! Good to have you in the group.

Filled out the questionnaire. So excited about the new offerings.

Hi Fran, Welcome. Nova Scotia is one my travel list. It looks like a beautiful place.

Even though I’m in California, I want you to know that I’m thinking of you and sending healing, comforting thoughts to you. Even if we feel alone, we are not in this wonderful group. 💕

Welcome Emma, you are amongst good souls. I have felt much anxiety throughout my life. I know for certain that meditation or at least deep breathing helps me. This is a lovely community with good resources. Know that I am pulling for you and keeping you in my thoughts.

@Katrina Deed thank you so much for your reply! I am so fascinated that you have Californian redwoods there. I don’t discriminate between redwoods I love them all! You’ve painted a lovely picture and I can just see myself walking through the ferns and the redwoods and all the beauty that you talk about. The closest one to me now is eight hours away and I really miss being able to walk through them. 🌿🌲

@Katrina Deed Redwoods in New Zealand? I had no idea. I lived in Northern California for many years and one of my secret spots was walking through the Redwoods. The beauty is amazing and the energy is spiritual. We have Coast and Sequoia redwoods. This is the benefit of connecting with people that live in various places in the world. Thank you again for sharing this information.

Hi Alistair, Thank you for the reply. I truly was there in spirit. a very peaceful relaxing weekend for me all the way in California. We celebrated Father’s Day on Sunday and I had a lovely day with my father and a delicious dinner. I truly look forward to the tapes of the retreat. All the best and have a wonderful week!

Alistair, I wish I could have done yoga with you and Daniel. I’m sorry to hear that he had to close down the space and the vandalism. That type of behavior makes no sense to me.
