Some of us are connecting deeply with the waters on these Rose journeys as well. This happens so organically! I remember feeling such a yearning to visit the water after “Heart of the Rose” festival last year.

For those feeling the call of water, you might want to consider singing, praying and making offerings to the waters - it is a really beautiful way to connect and honour your own waters (the flow of your cycle, whether you are still bleeding or not, and the lymph, sweat, tears, blood that moves everything through the body). Here is a spotify playlist if you want to tune in, and if you are in the Cotswolds there is a lovely spring you might consider gathering water from in Blockley (recommend using test sticks if you're drinking it as sometimes the nitrate levels are high). There's also a gorgeous wild sauna with spring water showers and a stream you can dip in at Whichford Mill. There aren't really words for how we can commune and come into ceremony with the elements. 

Find a Spring is also a good resource for discovering natural water sources near you.
