A Little Forest Magic and a New Obsession
Today I found the fly agaric mushroom in the woods — that iconic red-and-white toadstool that looks like it’s stepped straight out of a fairy tale. It’s only the second time I’ve seen it in the wild, and after many years of general plant foraging, I think I’m finally ready to start learning about mushroom foraging in a deeper way.
For me, it’s not about harvesting or eating them, but about understanding their energy, symbolism, and place in nature. The fly agaric has a long and complex history — both magical and medicinal — and while it’s toxic if eaten raw, it has been used in traditional remedies when processed correctly. I’ve been experimenting by drying it and creating a pain relief tincture for external use, learning slowly and respectfully as I go.
I’m soaking up everything I can about fungi right now — books, podcasts, conversations — the joy of neurodiversity and hyperfocus at its finest! Every time I dive deep into something like this, I feel completely alive and connected to the natural world.

What a beautiful intro session to foraging this week! We began with a warming elderberry cordial infused with winter spices — the perfect way to open our senses and connect with the season.

Out in the hedgerows, we explored many species one being sloes, those deep purple berries often mistaken for damsons. Of course, we had to taste-test both, I even brought along some defrosted damsons so everyone could see (and taste!) the difference.

We admired rose hips the bright red jewels of autumn, bursting with vitamin C. During World War II, children were paid to collect them to make syrup when citrus fruits were scarce. Rose hip syrup has such a unique, sweet–tart flavour; I honestly can’t compare it to anything else.

We even spotted the striking (but poisonous!) Magpie Ink Cap mushroom a beautiful reminder that not everything wild is meant for the plate.

As we wandered, we spoke about foraging ethics how true foragers love nature, take only what they need, and always leave plenty for wildlife. With so much recent negativity around foraging in the news, it’s important to remember: we are all part of nature’s story.

🌿 Do you have any memories of foraging maybe picking blackberries, rose hips, or elderflowers as a child?

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve partnered with What’s On In Kent! It feels amazing to finally have my events supported and seen locally, and a huge thanks to Nick, the CEO, for his encouragement.

Nature has always called to me. With ADHD and dyslexia, I never imagined I’d become a forager. I’m not a scientist, I don’t know all the Latin names, and plants once felt intimidating – but somehow they’ve imprinted themselves on me. Over 12 years of slowly walking the land, I’ve learned patience, trust, and the magic that happens when we reconnect with nature.

Our ancestors didn’t need books to forage – they learned from the land. That’s how I teach too: simple, beginner-friendly, and heart-led. Just a few seasonal plants, lots of fresh air, and space to relax, dare to dream, and be a little more wild.

This is for anyone who wants a playful, light-hearted wander among plants – laugh, explore, and discover.

Meet Laura Benaggoune the Heart Behind Welsummer Glamping.

A Little Love Story: How Welsummer and I Came to Be
Meet Laura, the wonderful owner of Welsummer, a soulful glamping site tucked away in the Kent countryside.

This story is as much about her as it is about the land, because together, they’ve created a space where dreams quietly take root.

It all began with a daydream of my own. I was in my little pixie world, imagining outdoor retreats where people could reconnect, play, and feel held by nature. I longed for a space that felt like home—wild, beautiful, and full of possibility.

Welsummer came to me gently. I’d reached out with my vision, then waited. After a pause, a message landed in my Instagram inbox—an invitation from Laura to a networking event. I dropped everything and went. I had a feeling she was dreaming the same dream. And I was right. Our visions aligned effortlessly, and something just clicked. We planted a seed that day, and over the last three years, it’s grown into something special. I’ve hosted wild food foraging walks and forest bathing events, slept under the stars, and even completed some of my forest bathing training homework right there on the land.

Welsummer held me like a second home—natural, nurturing, and grounding.

Our retreats have evolved alongside our friendship. The land, the people, and the community have shaped them in ways I could never have scripted.

After one of our retreats, Laura and I stood barefoot in the field, tired but glowing. We filmed a short video—not rehearsed or polished—but to capture the feeling of what we had just held together. It was brief, but it said everything.

Next year, we’re dreaming even bigger—think outdoor cooking, deeper wild food foraging, and more soulful connection.
For me, I have to fall in love—with the land and the people I work with—in order to offer my best. And with Welsummer, I did. That’s why I return. That’s why it feels like home.

🌿 Building something beautiful… together.
Running your own business isn’t easy — especially when you're the planner, the teacher, the space holder… and the one editing the video afterwards!

But when you partner with the right people and create from the heart, something really special happens.That’s what happened with Welsummer. Three years ago, Laura (the amazing site owner) and I came together with a simple idea:

Let’s create the kind of retreat experience we’d want to go on ourselves.
So we said yes. And we built it.
That first time was full of nerves — for both of us.
But now, in year three, it feels joyful, natural, and deeply rooted.
Hosting retreats here, in the heart of Kent, surrounded by trees, wildness, and warmth, is something we both feel called to do.

Running Tilia Yoga & Nature is big work.
As someone with ADHD, I often feel like my brain runs on ten tabs at once — and sometimes that’s hard… but sometimes, it’s a gift.
Because it means I’m multi-skilled, creative, and able to bring together lots of parts:

🌿 Nature, yoga, forest bathing, holding space, building connections… and yes — even filming and editing beautiful videos like the one below.

If you wish to join this retreat get booked ASAP limited spaces:

If you’re looking for someone who gets the heart of your offering and can help you tell your story through video, feel free to DM me. This review video was filmed and edited by me. Before I launched Tilia, video creation was a big part of my work — and it’s still something I love doing when the right project calls.
