Discovering Myself: How Cold Water Therapy Transformed My Life

Discover our friend Andy's journey @dare.2.become with Cold Water Therapy.

Twelve years ago, I hit rock bottom. A full mental and physical breakdown led to two serious suicide attempts, and I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1. The road to recovery was long and challenging. I tried countless therapies and methods, desperately seeking balance in my body, mind, and soul. It wasn’t until I discovered the Wim Hof Method that I found a way to truly thrive. 

Discover Ride on Retreats

There are so many fantastic examples of women taking up new things in their 40’s. Take Nessy & Harry for example, one surfing lesson in Devon the summer after covid - was enough to get them hooked!  As a result, they now curate beautiful beginner Surf & Yoga breaks in Cornwall through their company Ride on Retreats. A safe haven to try your hand at surfing, enjoy good food, practice yoga and meet likeminded women in a pit of glorious luxury.

Embracing Biophilia: The Benefits of an Outdoor Life

The wonderful @thewanderingselkie, explains Biophilia

In a fast-paced world dominated by screens and urban living, it's easy to forget our deep-rooted connection to nature. Have you heard the term, biophilia?

bio·​phil·​ia ˌbī-ō-ˈfi-lē-ə-fēl-yə: hypothetical human tendency to interact or be closely associated with other forms of life in nature: a desire or tendency to commune with nature.

In Praise of the Dad Jumper

The wonderful @thewanderingselkie explains her love of the Fishermans jumper.

"There’s a synchronicity with my desire to write my first blog post for Cape Cove in praise of the chunky knit jumper, and reading the last post on the Cape Cove journal that was posted this month, a year ago, celebrating the Fisherman’s jumper. I've inherited a collection of heavy, Aran jumpers from my Dad which carry a heap of sentimental value and I know many women with t-shirts, shirts, jumpers passed down (or pinched out of wardrobes!) from much-loved Dads and Grandads.

A Brew With a View

Brew With A View

‘Keep it simple and focus on what matters’ – Confucius

Nothing can be simpler than a cup of tea and nothing can possibly matter more than people - our friends, families, neighbours, colleagues and life’s strangers, the people that we see every day, pass on a walk or in the street but know nothing about, the people we just don’t happen to meet.  And so the ‘Brew With A View’ was conceived, drinking tea outdoors, truly the simplest of pleasures, with the sole mission of making our world a better place one cup at a time.  

The Importance of Self Love

Our friend and life coach Charlotte Lodey provides us all with some tips for self love.....

Can you find the joy in the every day? Can you give yourself permission to be carefree? Give yourself the chance to express and be free? 

You have the right to feel that lightness every day. No expectations, no judgements, no heaviness to carry.

But it can take time. Layers to peel, chapters to process and rewrite. 

Start your day the mindful way - tips for an intentional morning

Mornings are the start of your day. Time for you to honour yourself, choose who you want to be that day, who you want to show up as and what you want to achieve. Finding sacred moments of ritual in your morning, allows you to feel grounded, present and ready for the day ahead. Taking control of your morning means you take control of your day and your decisions, instead of the day controlling you. You set the tone, you decide what you want to manifest with the morning being the best time to do this.
