Huglett’s Wood
provides sanctuary for over
200 animals and birds. They care for 35 cows,
oxen and calves. |
After that first visit, I did not see
Wenda again, until a year later. When I returned to Huglett´s
Wood, she had already decided that the fires were the missing piece in the
jigsaw of her life. In 2005, we asked Jarek Bizberg from Poland to come to
the farm and open a Resonance Point. He and Parvati came, and on the 14th
of July (* Independence Day in France!) the Point was opened. It was a
very special day. Orion gave a beautiful message about this place …

Ever seen a smiling

As Orion said Huglett’s Wood Farm had once, in years gone by, been a
place where there was great suffering of animals and birds. It was
this that accounted for the over-riding feeling of sadness that I felt
at my first visit. Three years later, this has all but disappeared and
the land exudes pure, positive energy.My experience is that here at Huglett’s
Wood Farm Nature come into her own, gently, nurturing and sustaining all
forms of life. Everything here is in harmony, every blade of grass is in
harmony, every tree in the wood is an example of how Nature can
communicate with us if we are alert and work with her in harmony and with
respect..

broadleaf woodland that belongs to the farm. Once sadly
neglected and completely mismanaged, over a number of years, the
woodland was slowly dying. Now under careful coppice management, the
woodland provides the material for many traditional products. Sussex
charcoal and artists charcoal are produced through summer months; logs
and kindling through winter and a whole range of woodland products are
marketed year round. An oak and chestnut nursery
raises saplings from the seeds of existing trees. Once large enough, they
are planted back in the woods to replace the trees that were destroyed by
previous owners. Wenda and Matthew grow a wide range of
vegetables, salad leaves, herbs and fruit, which is marketed through their
Box scheme; delivering freshly harvested, organically farmed HOMA produce
to their customers.
As well as being a working, vegan farm, Huglett’s Wood provides sanctuary
for over 200 animals and birds. They care for 35 cows, oxen and calves.
Some of whom were born there and know nothing other than love and
kindness; others, not so lucky, have also found their way to them and now
live in peace.
You may have already read about some of the cows from the farm and how
they have been treated with Homa ash, in past issues and the story of
Dickie, a little, dying calf, who came to the farm having been left
outside in the snow and freezing cold without shelter or food. The Vet
gave him no chance of survival and said he would at best, (due to the lung
damage he has sustained) have no more that a few weeks to live. He now
runs happily with the big cattle. This is a real love-story and maybe I
will be able to persuade Wenda to tell you about Dickie and his fight for
life; how she slept with him in the barn during the hardest winter months,
to make sure he was breathing easily through the night. For now you can
enjoy the photographs.
If by any chance you are in England, you must pay a visit to this place. I
warn you now, it’s a life-changing experience. To appreciate it fully, you
need to be open, to listen to Nature, to listen to these wise creatures
that are instruments of the Divine, guiding us all the way home…
Although Huglett´s Wood Farm is a working farm
and not a center, I am quite sure Wenda and Matthew would be happy to
spend some time with you, sharing their vast knowledge of farming and cow
protection. If you’re really lucky you may even get to meet the cows like
I did. If you do, I guarantee, your life will never be the same. I cannot
explain how very humbling this experience was. Every day I give thanks for
the opportunity to help on this special place. I am so grateful to the
Divine and to Shree, (with Whom Wenda has just spent some time in India,
last November), for having these two people in my life and for the love of
those 35 boys and girls. I give big thanks to those amazing creatures for
allowing me to be close to them.
Om Shree!
Many happy Fires and all the best for all of you. Keep those fires alight,
wherever we are, whatever we do, One we are One! |
