Wild Swimming in the South of France

Amy Watt is a member of our Abeona Adventure Club. She left a fast paced job in the big city and headed for a small village in the South of France with her partner, Jim. We like the sound of that a lot. She writes a really beautiful blog about travelling and yoga and...

An Ode To…Disconnecting

An Ode To…Disconnecting

As I write this, I am balancing on a rock at the edge of a Montana forest. It’s around 2pm. The sun is strong here at this time of day. To avoid it, I have nestled into a formation of rocks which faces a large valley of trees, most of which are perished and dry...
