Lemurian Hermitage
The Abbess in solitude mode visits the Lemurian Hermitage to get in touch with nature. She spends time in her usual chamber, as she is a regular visitor to the Hermitage, and knows when to shift down a gear from her busy lifestyle. Music soothes the frayed nerves of traffic noise, flowers from the enchanted Hermitage grounds rejuvenate the senses. The trees tell her their secrets, and soon all is well again with the world.
Portrait of the Abbess playing music is the work of Heather Blakey, Soul Food Originator and Webmistress. It is featured on magnets, journals, mugs and more. The nature images are the work of Imogen Crest, Soul Food's resident Hermit. All images are copyright and remain the property of their creators.
