The trees are saying winter, the temperature is saying Irish summer here in the Dordogne again today. #nofilter #wintersunshine #happyjenny

Snow Moon rising here at La Girouette. We are thinking of having monthly gatherings here from May until October under the full moon for anyone who fancies joining us. Keep an eye out here for more information. #Dordogneretreats #fullmoonmagic #fullmoonritual #fullmoon

The kitchen space here is small and I 💖 to cook so I needed to design it in a way that flowed. As it turns out my open shelf of kilner jars full of dried fruits, seeds and other basics makes my life so easy. When I am going shopping I can see at a glance exactly what we need. #jennysfrenchkitchen #createalifeyoulove #spacesaving #Dordogneretreats

The Snow Full Moon reaches its fullness this afternoon at around 4:50 p.m. It is certainly prompting a lot of inner shifts here at La Girouette. What do you need to let go of under this powerful full moon? #fullmoonmagic #lettinggo #createalifeyoulove

Beautiful music from @eoinscolard to accompany the rising of the nearly full moon. #createalifeyoulove #fullmoon

We had lunch on one of the restaurant terraces in Beynac-et-Cazenac today. Glorious! Click through to @dordogneretreats for more of my pics. #Repost @dordogneretreats (@get_repost) ・・・ While on retreat in the Dordogne with us why not treat yourself to a mindful walk around stunning Beynac-et-Cazenac where we took these photos on this beautiful balmy February day? #Dordogneretreats #beynac #mindfulness #retreat

#Repost @dordogneretreats (@get_repost) ・・・ If you and your soul sisters are looking for a girl's holiday with soul this year look no further. Why not rent a self-catering gîte with a pool close to us and let us design a bespoke program of coaching, meditation, mindful walks in nature and interesting excursions? We can even recommend an excellent local yoga teacher and alternative therapists too. Check out our website and drop us an email for more info. #dordogneretreats #retreat #retreats #Dordogne #coaching #meditation #spirituality #mindfulness #nature

My legs and feet are so happy to be soaking up the warm sunshine on 16 February. Unbelievable! #createalifeyoulove #newlifeinfrance #wintersunshine

@eoinscolard is happy at his work outdoors on this beautiful early sping days. Time to put to rest this old, neglected and diseased tree in the field beside us. And, yes, it is still t-shirt weather here and due to stay that way for another week apparently. #createalifeyoulove #Dordogneretreats

Feeling very grateful to have Irish summer temperatures and beautiful sunshine here in the Dordogne during the 2nd week of February!! #createalifeyoulove #newlifeinfrance #wintersunshine

Stunner of a day here. About 14 degrees in our south-facing back garden. T-shirt weather for gardeners and sunbathing weather for pups! Such a treat to be eating lunch outdoors again already.💖💖💖 #createalifeyoulove #Dordogneretreats #wintersunshine

Such a beautiful day here today.

Snowdrops in the forest beside us. #springiscoming🌸 #spring #Dordogne

#Repost @positivelivingnetwork (@get_repost) ・・・ Aged 19, @martinaylward left his home in the UK for India with a one-way ticket and no luggage. He is now a globally respected teacher of Buddhist mindfulness and what he describes as Real Life Dharma and we are delighted to be bringing him to Ireland this spring. After arriving in Indian, Martin spent most of the next 4 years in Asian monasteries, retreat centres and Ashrams where he developed a formal meditation practice based on Vipassana / Insight Meditation, while also exploring many different teachings and practice forms. He spent several months with Ajahn Buddhadasa at Wat Suan Mokh in Thailand and sat annual month-long retreats all through the 1990s at the Thai Monastery in Bodh Gaya with Christopher Titmuss. Christopher encouraged him to begin teaching after 10 years of practice. He has also studied and practiced with various Buddhist teachers and traditions, including the Vajrayana practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. Martin spent 2 years living with Sukhanta Giri Babaji, a Hindu sadhu, at his hermitage near Dharamsala and has lived and practiced with various other Indian Sadhus and Himalayan hermits. He was also a student of the Diamond Approach of AH Almaas for 13 years. Find out more about Martin and his work at http://www.martinaylward.com. You are invited to join Martin for his first ever public teaching in Ireland in Dublin on Thursday 25 April from 7.30-9.30pm. Martin will then be offering a residential weekend retreat in Ireland in November.

Even on a grey February day the bastide town of Monpazier still makes my 💓 happy.. #createalifeyoulove #dordogneretreats #monpazier #Dordogne #perigord

Today's new moon is a great time to begin new projects/plans and sow new seeds in your life and this one is a biggie for me! During the autumn I went into a period of retreat during which I came up with a new Intention Statement for this new phase of my life. I AM CO-CREATING A BEAUTIFUL, JOYFUL LIFE DOING WORK I LOVE IN SERVICE OF THE DIVINE FEMININE. I am always bowled over by how quickly the Universe responds to a focused intention...... 10 days ago I stepped into a new role as Business Manager for my spiritual teacher @MirandaMacpherson who is dedicated to bringing more diving feminine energy into the world through her work. Then this Wednesday I start new another new role working for the @ShiftNetwork as a Course Host for Miranda's new 12 month online course with them. And later this week Eoin Scolard and I will be launching our new venture here in the Dordogne....watch this space! I will, of course, continue to offer Special Events and Retreats through my business @PositiveLivingNetwork in Ireland and, now, the Dordogne as well as continuing to help run our other business in Belfast Source Wellbeing Centre with Eoin Scolard. I am very excited about my new roles supporting Miranda and her work as well as about our new venture here but there is a LOT to juggle as I settle into the new jobs. So anytime I start to feel overwhelmed with the amount of creative energy and learning which I am processing at the moment, I repeat my Intention Statement with the focus on the word JOYFUL! Because, after all, if it isn't joyful, why bother??!! #createalifeyoulove #positiveintentions #positivelivingnetwork #dordogneretreats #mywayofgrace #thewayofgrace #newmoonmagic

I 💖 the lighting here at La Girouette at sunset, even on a cold winter day. ❄️❄️❄️❄️ #Dordogneretreats #Dordognelife #createalifeyoulove #happyjenny

We are eating our way around the Dordogne this year!! Visiting 1 of the 9 Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants in the region each month. Today we were only 20 minutes from home at La Table de Leo where we were given a warm welcome by 7 year old Leo's parents who own it. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The chef even managed to convert us to Brussel sprouts which were totally delicious and have exorcised bad memories of soggy offerings at school! Well worth a visit and we are looking forward to going back on a sunny day to sit on their lovely terrace in the pretty medieval village of Saint-Avit-Sénieur. #dordognegourmands #dordogneretreats #createalifeyoulove #foodieheaven
