#StandingStoneSaturday I went off all social media for a while for all kinds of healthy reasons, so I hadn’t shared equinox pictures of my dawn moment at the #BronzeAge burial circle behind my house. Numb fingered, I drummed slowly to the dawn, a rhythm I’d only minutes before dreamt #archaeotherapy

The pool at #Powfoot on the #Solway coast, constructed at the end of the Victorian era, locals used it for bathing. Powfoot was partially developed as a resort but was never completed. The pool isn’t maintained, but during the summer kids still paddle. And a heron hunts trapped fish.

#getadifferentnameday and you might even get some hair care advice too. Or just more #archaeotherapy advice from Buddha or Cat.

#standingstonesunday a random stone in a forgotten field somewhere in north Cumbria. It’s not got a name, not a tale to tell. Yet it’s there, silently standing, under Orion’s Belt. #cumbria #obodsky #neolithic #archaeotherapy

Mine would be ‘stinks everyone away’, ‘don’t put your face too near’ and ‘follows annoyingly close all the time’

#standingstone at Broomrigg Neolithic complex. A stunning azure sky, silence but for flocks of fieldfares. Calm amongst the trees and the ancestors, balm for a frazzled soul #archaeotherapy #neolithic #cumbria #heritage #ecotherapy

A blessed St Bridget’s day to you. Not to be confused with tomorrow’s Imbolc, they sit next to one another but are not the same. Bridget is healing, poetry, black smithing, liminal places, milk. Imbolc is ‘in the belly’: survival through winter, lambs, new life, Spring. And is far more ancient.

It’s blustery out there. Stay safe, and read a book! Or perhaps watching heritage and well-being related programmes is what entices?
Snuggle safe, let the wild wind blow.

#StandingStoneSunday at the confluence of two rivers, the Balder as it runs into the mighty Tees, stands a cairn, with a carved stone atop. I’ve called it the ladybird stone, because it has a deep groove along its ridge, and cup marks on both sides.

When we work with clients in burial grounds and Christian sites, #archaeotherapy requires that we pay attention to complex narratives about shared culture, religious and family traumas, shame and guilt, as well as fears around death. Too is found comfort, and an immediacy of spiritual connection.

#standingstonesunday a stone within the ramparts of the Iron Age enclosure, Ward Law in Dumfries and Galloway. Now cloaked in moss, and originally used most likely for walling, it sits within a forested circle atop a blustery hill. The Maxwells lit beacons here, foretelling of marauders and reivers.

A blessed Christmas to all who celebrate. And a blessed winter's day, filled with warmth and friendship, to those who do not.

#StandingStoneSunday a cloaked figure leans against a huge stone that forms the stone circle at #Beltany in county #Donegal. Baal Tinné or Baal’s fire, the circle, like many, sits on a raised hill with views all around, with #errigal poking over the far horizon. #obodsky

When the rain lashes down and we’re kept indoors, are you still being called by your #WhatPlaceWhy ? Where do you fly to in your mind, that place in nature, a ruin, a heritage site, a glade, a rock formation, a mountain, a beach, that gives you solace? #archaeotherapy

Taking inspiration from @classicfm.com I wonder if we can share memories of our #whatplacewhy Pleaces that mean the most to us, and why. For me, I think of a whispering plantation of larch, covering a Neolithic stone circle complex. Where modern plantation and ancient remains precariously co-exist.

#StandingStoneSunday I’m at local stacks overlooking the Eden valley. A hidden part of Cumbria’s heritage, nobody knows how old the Talkin Fell stacks are. Possibly they’re as old as the more famous Nine Standards Rigg at Kirby Stephen. Or perhaps a remnant of an industrial past. Who knows?

#archaeotherapy with older participants offers possibilities for memory, insight, reflection and healing to occur. Here one participant goes to the old quarry his house was built from. Munching crisps, he reflected upon work, effort, reward, wondering if his own efforts will endure, like his house.

What could a young person’s #archaeotherapy look like? Sometimes taking kids out to heritage sites can be anything but therapeutic. It’s all about dates and events long ago. But what if we change the story? Rather than imposing upon them what we know, does heritage connection have room for what IS?

#archaeotherapy happens when we entwine with a place where human activity of any kind has occurred, and we have a meaningful experience there. Integrating #ecotherapy and #culturalheritagetherapy we notice that human acts and ancestral remains seamlessly enmesh with ecological process.
