With a name like 'Seager', I guess it was always predestined that I would be a child of the tide. My mum made sure that my early years were spent running carefree on the beaches of her native North Devon, surfing the waves and sand dunes with our wooden belly boards until our thighs were worn red against the grain and our backs browned by the sun. Without those early memories and the strong connection to the heartbeat of the Atlantic, I don't think I would have survived the c

It was way back in 2001 that I first did an aromatherapy course. I'd been undergoing a really traumatic divorce which had left me feeling lost and making all the wrong choices. Just at the point that my body was going to give up on me, I went for a massage treatment with a young beauty therapist that was embarking on an aromatherapy course and suggested I be her training 'body' to practise on.

I don't know about you, but my world seems to consist of a daily onslaught of buzzing technology, deadlines and a hectic, fast-paced online reality. It's exhausting isn't it. We can never keep up.

When my Mum died when I was ten, I often felt that tree was reaching out to me, as if to hug me in her branches and nurture me with her roots. She was a foundation of safety in a scary world, when I touched her, I was grounded to a wisdom far greater than my own .... it was like being back in my Mothers arms.

I first came across Biodynamic Farming and Gardening when I was introduced to the world of Rudolph Steiner way back in 2000. Everything I learnt about Steiner, his ethos about ensuring plants were nurtured by a rich, living soil, the importance of the farm at the centre of community and the rights for all human beings to 'live' nutritious food and clean water. So what is it about Biodynamic agriculture that makes it the perfect solution to the damage done for decades by agr

There are writers, philosophers and scientists who, over the course of my life, have made a deep and resounding impression. Their truth and wisdom has always shone bright, rising high above the clatter and the greed of our modern day world. Two such men are Rudolf Steiner (1861- 1925) and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) who I first came across when I become more involved with Steiner's biodynamic agriculture as well as the progressive work undertaken by the Dartingto
