" One touch of nature

makes all the world kin "

William Shakespeare

Tea in Preparation for the Solstice

December 17th, 2024

The poems I read are ‘Sacred Ground’ from the collection The Unfolding, by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, and ‘Pearls of Rumi’ by Jan Richardson (From 𝘛𝘦𝘯 𝘗𝘰𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 by Roger Housden).

The Distillation of Experience

December 11th, 2024

When the ripe fruit falls

its sweetness distills and trickles away

into the veins of the earth.

When fulfilled people die

the essential oil of their experience enters

the veins of living space, and adds a glisten

to the atom, to the body of immortal chaos.

For space is alive

and it stirs like a swan

whose feathers glisten

silky with the oil of distilled experience.

D.H. Lawrence

The Tree Ogham Card Game Launch

November 12th, 2024

We are so grateful to be sharing with you our exciting new crowdfunding campaign which is launching today.

The Tree Ogham Card Game a collaborative project between Children’s Forest, Forestheart and OBOD is designed to spark curiosity and bring together head, heart and hands, inspiring deeper connection with the trees, and with one another, as we play and learn together.

We want to see more children deepen their relationship to the natural world, and we have created these cards as a new way to do that. It is perfect for families, children, teachers, forest school folk and nature lovers of all ages.

If you pledge on our Crowdfunder today, you can claim your Tree Ogham Card Game and have your donation doubled, thanks to our match funding from AVIVA Community Fund.

Pledge your support today to receive your Tree Ogham Card Game and support children to plant trees with The Children’s Forest.

With stunning artwork by OBOD member Yannick Dubois (Forestheart) and a booklet packed with wisdom from forest school educator Anna Richardson (Children’s Forest), it’s designed to bring the lore and magic of trees into an interactive experience.

Plus, every purchase directly supports tree-planting through the AVIVA match-funding program, meaning your contribution gets doubled and helps directly to grow forests for the future with Children’s Forest.

By choosing one of our limited early-bird rewards today, you’re not only helping us bring the Tree Ogham Card Game to life, but you are also supporting an amazing cause—funding tree-planting projects that empower children to reconnect with nature.
