Japanese Gardens or Lake District RLL Meetup - UK?

'sorry admin' wasn't sure where to put this, can't seem to find the non-reiki forum.......

please shift to appropriate place accordingly.

I've been thinking a lot about healing gardens lately so last night had a wee shift around on this machine looking for Japanese gardens in the uk. there is one at Tatton park and I came across one called the Pureland Meditation centre and japanese Garden, its in Nottinghamshire!...and the story of it's coming into being is a fascinating one..... perhaps Wayne has been there????

anyway if any of you good folk out there know of more japanese gardens in the uk please could you write some info here?

also perhaps if there are many japanese gardens abroad people could share some info about them too......I'm toying with the idea of doing a horticulture course over the next couple of years and the idea of creating harmonious healing spaces similar to the Japanese/Zen gardens hold great appeal.....

and seeing how I've ended up in the meetup forum, perhaps we could enquire about hiring the pureland meditation centre for a Reiki Lounge Reiki share????

Just came across this. I've never been there, no. Didnt know it existed to be honest. I'd be up for us going there. Any other takers? Colin? I'm asking Ben now. yeah he is up for it also. Lets see can we get some other interest?

P.S. your post is valid here - re: meetups .

Yes i would be up for it if the date was convenient - it is going a bit chilly at the moment though!

well it started out as a japanese garden enquiry, thats why I didn't know where to put this post...the meetup was an afterthought...

I'll make some enquiries to the centre about room rentals etc... and of course any meetup date has to be convenient to everyone..

sounds ideal!

Bump this. Sharon has got a new idea for around her neck of the woods - Lake District. lovely country-side. Anyone else not registered on the forum, feel free to contact any of us if you are also interested. You can contact forum staff without registering through the forum, facebook, etc.

Northern hemisphere weather considerations
are important when creating a japanese garden.
if using plants that grow in Japan.

Colin & Sharon, Ben is coming over to visit me this month. A date yet to be fixed. What about we try to co-ordinate it so we can meet-up for a morning or afternoon. doesn't have to be at Sharons place of it's not ready. Though the lake district will be ideal for Ben & I.

Bit soon for me this month Wayne......too much going on as you can imagine and busy with family stuff this month and next..... May onwards would be good for me, or some time later on in the year.....

No probs Sharon. I'll see will Colin meet two RLL refugess. Hehe!
