There is a Welsh phrase, “dod yn ôl at fy nghoed,” meaning “to return to a balanced state of mind.” The literal meaning is, “to return to my trees”. May you return to your trees!

A group of 24 students from Leeds, Oxford and Cambridge universities took part in a Forest Meditation long weekend in June at Greenstreete. We explored the significance of trees and nature in Buddhism.
A swarm of bees appeared on the Ash tree by the Shrine Hall, and was collected by local beekeepers.
Blue Tits have been seen nesting in the Stupa which can be found on the path up the hill towards the Buddha Head (known as Whimble Hill.)
The Buddha Head was brought here to Wales from London Zoo, where it was previously in the lion enclosure for many years but then relegated to a skip, from whence it was rescued and resurrected in situ at the top of the hill.
