The day after the UK Referendum in our old shop, Unit 1, something magical happened. We suddenly became very busy but not busy with sales, a different kind of busy as people from the local community came in throughout the day seeking friendship and connection, wanting to share the confusion of emotions they were feeling.… Continue reading It takes a (small) village…
This month has been busy. Not that the month before was not, but this is a different kind of busy. An up in the air, juggling, planning, head-scratching busy. Because RSL Collective is changing. After over a year in Queens Parade, Willesden Green I have been blessed to connect with a number of complementary therapists… Continue reading Transformation

New Year, new year's resolutions, and waiting until the New Year to make wide sweeping changes; our own cultural way of wiping the slate clean and starting over. The big outbreath of letting go of the old and embracing the new. Our chance to reinvent ourselves, to learn from our past experiences and try again.… Continue reading Resolute
A return to our previous format with another lesson learned (or rather underway) from Kirstie... I have just completed our first Introduction to Mindfulness course with Saffron. What a gift it has been especially through what has been experienced as stormy times. During the course Saffron shared with us the fundamental principles of Mindfulness before… Continue reading Forgetful
