Bealtaine Cottage ~ Storm 

"If everything around you seems dark, look again, you may be the light." Rumi ❤

I truly hope you don’t close down your channel Colette. The sanctuary you have created creates a sanctuary for so many of us. 🙏❤️

Colette, if you shut down all your social media then the message that you have to spread will be lost to the world and only the ugliest of what the world is now experiencing will be heard. We need you. The world needs you. ❤

I am in the US. Everything is upside down. Your channel is a safe place.

I'm slowly withdrawing from the outside world.still mixing and meeting with family and friends. No newspapers, no news, no TV. Certainty no adverts. Just slow, quiet life. I am aware of what's going on in the world,but I feel I have no control or say in any of the madness.

Oh Colette, please look at it from the other way round. I'm in my mid-60s, and there's been NUMEROUS scare stories in my lifetime, and guess what, we're all still here. It's all boys-playing-with-their-toys and trying to frighten one another. The human race WILL survive. I feel privileged to be here, at this time, the first time in history we've been able to see what's going on in other countries in real time. Only 100 years ago newspapers took days to be delivered between countries. I think we're lucky to be here, as witnesses. I keep a positivity journal of the things I'm grateful for. I highly recommend it. ❤

The 'fire' you speak of is burning in many of us. It will not be extinguished no matter what.

Dear Colette, my name is Mariana and I am a 30 year old girl from Portugal. I have been diagnosed with cancer twice in my twenties and during those dark times the only thing that brought me peace was to be surrounded by nature, to be in nature. When I couldn't, because I was too weak to be outside, your videos would bring the healing power of mother nature to me, through the absolute sanctuary that Beltaine cottage is. Now I have survived, I am feeling stronger every day and watching your videos is still a part of my daily life. Never underestimate the positive impact your beautiful soul can have on many many lives. I have the dream of having my own cottage one day and you are the biggest inspiration for this dream. I hope I can live to make it come true. Finally, I want to share with you that this week I even dreamt about you and Patsy for the first time. I dreamt that I met you and I can't put into words how happy I felt... The world TRULY needs you, that's all ❤️

As my father used to say, “ Consider the source!” I think of this often and I picture a sweet fairy holding her hand to the sky and blowing off the dust of discouragement. You are not alone, Collette! Take heart lovely, humble warrior.

California here, Most of us understand your despair of what is happening. My motto is prepare for the storm not be paralyzed with fear, we as the human race need to support each other not let the forces divide us. My small 1/4 acre vegetable, flowers and tree garden, along with my small fruit and nut orchard is what keeps me centered. 🕊️☮️❤️

Please don’t close your channel Collette as you are a positive beacon of light to more people than you may realise! I for one always feels inspired by all that you do. ❤

Please rise above the fear and stay strong . Keep doing what makes you happy and we will win this ❤

Oh Collette and Patsy ( can't forget your little guardian of the cottage and woodland). The woodland, cottage and yourselves have become an oasis and inspiration to many. If there was no fire in you, you would apathetic to the world around us. That you are not. Continue being who you are, you are much loved!

My two girlfriends & I rode out about an hour to shop at a large outdoor nursery for some plants & flowers to grow in our gardens. We stopped for lunch & had those nice talks girlfriends have about family, husbands & our hopes & dreams that still exist even in our 60’s & 70’s. Seems like our hopes & dreams are about the same these days…finding peace & joy in the simple things in between the worry & concerns of the world of chaos in which we all live. ❤

We are here for you Colette, behind the curtain. We love what you are doing, and love watching your videos. We would all sooo miss you if you were not here. Love and Blessings from Jilly & Madge. xxx

“This, my dear, is the greatest challenge of being alive: To witness the injustice of the world, and not allow it to consume our light.” I watch your beautiful channel here in America where so many good people here are working hard to keep our humanity for our children and grandchildren. People like you give me Hope and light. You make a difference.

Thanks for letting me see your home and garden, and little Patsy. Colette, I hope nothing has upset you. If you choose to reduce your time online, or have a break, I'll still come and watch your channel. It is your life you deserve to be in the moment of the beauty of what you created, sending love x Thanks for sharing, love it!.

Hello dear Colette, please don't give up on posting your videos and offering people access to your books, your wisdom, your example. People need to continue to see the beauty and health of Bealtaine, what can be done and what is being done. We "get-it," many of us have been aware for a very long time and doing what we can within our own circles to make a difference. Please know that you're not alone, we love you, support you and while we live in very different parts of the world, we're just a thought, a prayer away! It will all work out in the end. Blessings to you dear one!!!

I was woken this morning by a flight of geese honking their way over my house. A wonderful sound. It is becoming so much more difficult to avoid the constant doom laden global atmosphere that is pressing so heavily on all of us. Nature is the only way. Thankyou for sharing the wonderful ‘safe space’ of your little patch of Mother Earth. It always lifts the spirits.

Simplicity is key . The older I get the more I know this is true. We have to stay true to our values even if our surroundings are chaotic.

We must all be feeling deeply this unspoken thing, Colette. I just want to say to you that you helped me through one of the darkest times of my life, as my mother was living out her last moments on this Earth plane. I found you and the life you shared in teachings, strolls through your gardens, and just your open heart gave me life. My love and support to you always. May you have the courage to always follow your intuition and heart. Love and prayers to you and Patsy and all at Bealtaine Cottage. 🧚🏽‍♀️🕊️🩵🪷🌿🙏🏼 🏡

It's times like these that I really value the saying- Better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. We need to stick together, stand tall and proud and move ever forward. I love this channel and all you've put into it.

So difficult to hear the emotion in your voice. Persevere Collette.. push on.

A lot of us have the burning fire inside, I get it 100% Colette,… say no more

You are not alone, there are lots of us out here so don't despair Colette. Never give in and never surrender, that's my motto. Blessings to you, Patsy and your magical home 🌱🌻

I am fully aware of what is going on in our world today and what is coming. Staying strong is most needed now and the need for the majority to agree is vital. Fire only burns if attended or it goes out.

Dear Colette, For those who are aware - our hearts are cracking open. We create spaces of tranquility, so the universe knows the love in our hearts.

But as a human being you do sing loud and beautifully Colette and we’re all here listening to you! Thank you beautiful lady for this calming and magnificent content you bring to us in times of great darkness. There is no one else like you Colette. X

Dear Colette, you must do whatever is best for you, but we would miss your videos. Maybe you should just do one a month while you feel like this. I haven’t got a woodland like you, but I live alone on a very modest income now I’m retired. I have my little house & a modest sized garden that keeps me sane. I made a conscious decision a while back to only watch channels like yours, uplifting channels & sometimes DIY channels to teach me stuff as I have to do most of my own repairs. I’m trying to keep away from the news & negative channels. We all have to take care of ourselves physically & mentally as best we can. So you take care & we will always be here whenever you decide to post something. X

Colette, never underestimate the influence you have had and continue to have. I discovered your channel during the pandemic and I found it a source of huge inspiration and comfort at that time. I have continued to follow you and implement much of what you do on a smaller scale in my garden. I have bought your books, proudly display the bumper sticker on my car "Plant like your life depends on it, for it does" - I also wear one of your pendants. All of these things often promote questions/conversations with others so do you see the ripple effect you are having? (I have also shared links to your website to numerous friends!) I don't say all this to flatter but just to remind you how important what you have shared is in this world. I'm sure I am not the only one who has spread the word! I think we are like a growing movement (excuse the pun!) and more and more people are realising what is truly important in life Finally I would just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart and whatever you choose to do going forward, never forget how much you have done. Love from Caroline ❤

Your words spring from the ancient wisdom of the earth. Many of us feel the same way about the unspeakable events that daily bombard our hearts and minds . You are not alone. Your words, your thoughts, your wisdom-and of course your demi paradise which you so generously share-have become part of a coping mechanism I rely upon. That said, only you can make the choices that sustain and shape your days. For myself, my affection, my gratitude and my hope come winging to you from far away climes.

I hear what you are saying and sharing. I pray for my country…USA… and our crisis that we are facing in our presidential election in November. This isn’t the only issue that causes me to pray for my country and the many who are suffering in this world. Thank you for being who you are and how you share so much of yourself and your home with people like myself.

I hear you. I feel your frustration. Take some time to just 'be' if you feel you need it. The world's tough just now. We all have to look after ourselves and protect our peace as much as we can. Go to your website and vent there my friend! Sending love and standing with you ❤️

As someone living in America there are loads of people who agree with you. The division between us in America and all over the world is shameful. I live in an isolated area that at one time was in the woods. Now so called progress is ever encroaching and it saddens me. Your videos are beautiful and so badly needed during these times.

Hello from the beautiful Pacific Northwest in the US. I am 80 years old, and I share your concern for the world, and also your love of Nature, and for gardening. At this time of year especially, when I see the new flowers emerging from the ground, I always feel it is the earth pushing them out from her heart to us and all the creatures, like a message. And the songs of the birds are like joyful praises of the Life Force. These things give me such hope, and such reassurance. And now, regardless of the type of music you prefer, I am encouraged to learn that the song “Don’t Stop Believing” has become the biggest song in the history of music. This gives me such reassurance about people. I believe that down deep all is well. Thank you for sharing your life with us. 💖🧚🏽‍♀️🌸🦋

We are the creators! ❤️💜❤️🕊️🙏🌎

my ancestors have been calling me to Ireland most of my life, but sadly i never got there, this is the closest i can get to seeing ireland and feeling the beauty and magic of it, as my heart weeps for ireland as i know what is happening. The orange in the stone on the beach looks like calcite, and i love rocks and stones as they give out female or male energy. See if you can tell the difference as you hold them. Don't give up on your videos as many will be heart broken to not see the haven of peace and beauty again which we all need so badly in this world.

I’ve been withdrawing from the outside world for awhile now. The pressure is too much. I fully understand. My little world is my sanctuary and I thank the goddess for it. 🥰. Your channel is a bright spot in my small world. 💕

They can try to silence those who they do not understand, but in the quiet you can hear the white light song. It speaks to those of us who can hear it. We will go on, we will thrive. True spirit, love & peace can never be buried. We move forward. ❤🙏

When it comes to "complex systems"; only in the past couple of years have I realised quite how complex the world is in terms of the actions and motivations of those at the top and how sometimes they might appear on the surface to be well-intentioned and good for society and have the support of good people who they've hoodwinked into supporting them, but at the heart of it, it's all about harvesting more power and wealth for the few whilst claiming it's for the good of the masses. And we can't rely on the mainstream media to seek out the facts in anything and inform us, they merely do the bidding of the few. Some more blatantly than others. The world is not what I thought it was 5 years ago, even since 2 years ago my perception has shifted dramatically. Far more than most people. The me, and how I viewed the world 20 years ago is alien to how I see things now. I was always cynical - but in recent years I realised I was nowhere near cynical enough. It's impossible not to believe that the entire West is corrupted by the few at the top. The realilsation of how complex things are and seeing how hard it is for facts of any subject to spread and the reluctance of many to accept the evidence and reality in front of them I have found very depressing. It makes me want to switch everything off and hide away more than I already am. I don't have a TV or see much MSM online, so events going on in the world are usually very distant to me and I see very little in my limited social media viewing. I am glad I'm not consuming the mainstream propaganda. Unless I'm mistaken, I assume I understand what "the coming storm" and "complex systems" means with regards this video. But maybe I'm reading into it what I want to read. Whether it's x or y or z, I am sure it's just one part of the elite's broader selfish agenda.

In times of great deceit, simply speaking the truth is a revolutionary act. George Orwell. Peace to you and little Patsy. I enjoy your channel. It is a place of calm.

Bless you my lovely ❤Your decency, compassion and kindness blesses all of us who love your lifestyle, opinions and thoughts. Some people are hurting because they won’t open their eyes, they role over and accept everything they are told or read. It doesn’t give them the right to be vile to others. Be strong, love yourself, Patsy and your beautiful home. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Hello I am a backyard gardener in Pennsylvania USA. I love your videos. I am amazed at the beautiful woodland you have created on your property! It inspires me to do much more here. Thank you for sharing it with us. And I just love little Patsy!

The primrose planted in the window box behind the stained glass over the kitchen sink. Your precious pup, stopping and listening to the birds sing (birdsong) just as you do on your walk. The beauty you shared with us of the rocks on the beach of an ocean so far away and different, a place I will never be but have seen through your eyes. These are things that have blessed my morning, from you. I am looking forward to your woodland garden. Please do not stop. Thank you so much from North Carolina❤️🐕🐕

Colette, as a coping tool, I have taken up my craft's again. Art and Embroidery. Seems to be like meditation for my mind. Blessings to you all 😊❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

A buffalo knows if they go through the storm instead of around getting to the other side of peace will be quicker. They go together.

What a tonic for those of us who can only dream of such a life. Thanks, as ever, I know you know you are fortunate to have such a home, such a garden. Thank you for sharing.

There are legions of us who live the Bealtaine life without the media status!❤ I have done so solo since 1992, first on a mountainat 8000 feet and now buried in the Ozark Highlands. I love my privacy. I have published essays on my life, and that caused enough unwanted drama. I cannot imagine what a more accessible media format like youtube would generate. You couldn't pay me a million dollars for the harassment.

I hope you don't underestimate your influence for many of us. At 60, I recently lost my job of 35 years. I moved back home to my grandparent's acreage in the country. I've begun my plan to revitalize the orchard, plant a garden, and restore the land. I've also been working on expanding the native plant and rose garden I planted for my mother before her passing last year. It's been a year of changes and you've been a part of it the entire way.

Birdsong & beachcombing,simple joys, both which produce lovely sounds.I’ve always loved shells & stones since I was a young girl.

Hey, it won’t take much for Patsy to learn to spell. Our pup knows exactly what a w a l k means. 😂

Sometimes I feel negative about everything, but then I dig into the earth, and realize I’m planting not only seeds, but hope, love and joy. That’s all I can do and I’m so grateful to be able to, even if my family and the wildlife are the only ones to benefit directly. I hope someday my small plantings bloom as wonderfully as yours. My climate is so different, but it can be done! No matter what you decide I’ll always hold everything you have done as the special inspiration that kickstarted a very different way of seeing and living. So thank you, no matter what. ❤️

Please carry on doing what you do Collette. You are an inspiration to so many of us. ❤

Love hearing the birds, my friend lets her dog out in the morning, she'll sit out there and listen to the birds. She thinks it's a community get together, maybe even a bunch of gossiping going on. I live just 15 mins from the Chesapeake bay, I've found some wonderful Indian arrowheads over the yrs, along with beautiful shards of china. Lastly, I think Pasty hit the jackpot when you adopted her, I bet she thinks so too.

We know Colette, We know. Stay strong and alert❤

This year we are planting, jasminum, Sambucus nigra, magnolia. Last year it was a cherrytree. Bless you❤️🫖

You are wonderful please stay in since my daughter passed away you and your life I had took me to a peaceful life please stay on thank you

The world needs you. I appreciate what you share. Protect your happiness at all costs.

Love you, Collete and Im right there with you. All you've shared has already made such a difference for many. May the best continue for all of us, in all ways.

Do your best to stay strong and keep on doing whtat you do that makes you happy. I have always enjoyed your content. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us.

Hello from Sweden! Thank you for being the one that you are Colette, for sharing your Life, Home and Garden with us who is longing for a sanctury like yours.... Continue to Do what you are best at and rise with Mother Nature ... We all love what you do and have created and, especially me, (among many orhers I suppose) feel blessed to have a"a place " like yours, to go to, to feel uplifted with so much creativeness and Love and I hope it will still be "here"🤗💖.... I am so grateful that I found Bealtaine Cottage and it gives me hope for "Tomorrow". Many Blessings to you and Patsy, .. With love from Kristina in Sweden! 🌱💖🤗🇸🇪🌱

Good morning from Cyprus 🇨🇾 thank you for sharing the letter. Don’t ever give up on any physical, emotional and spiritual endeavors you encounter in creating a masterpiece for us to experience with you and Patsy. We all love your creative energy. Onwards and upwards . ❤️ Christine Jones plus 23 rescued cats and a nature reserve.

Shutting down your social media is not giving up, it's doing what is best for your Soul. Two years ago I closed off everything but youtube. I am much more at peace and enjoying my life. Much love ❤

Don’t let them win! Keep encouraging others to live the simple life. ♥️

I don’t bother with what I can’t change. No use worrying about it. This was the advice given to me about 25 years ago. I take care of me, mine, the animals and the environment around me. It’s all about nature and living simply. (Spelling is incorrect on purpose) I don’t follow poly ticks, nooz, hollee wud, or drah muh… they create too many bad vibes and a feeling of sadness and anxiety. We are only here for a mere 80ish years, so make them happy ones that family will remember us by. Wishing you a peaceful weekend, Colette 😌

Colette, thank you. I hear you. I live out in the countryside and love my peaceful life. Pulling back and appreciating and respecting nature. My sanctuary. It is slow paced and basic. It is healing for our souls. I appreciate you and your content and grace. Life is so hard, ruthless, and thankless at times. ❤

Dearest Collette, we understand what your getting at. I have followed you for many years . Rumble is a place you can show us the lay of your land. We so very much appreciate your tenacity and the struggle it can be. If we see nothing but the cottage we’ll be blessed. I know what this does to your O’Neil Scorpio spirit. But slow and steady wins the race and we are glad to be turtles in your beautiful garden of life. 💐😘🇺🇸

I have been feeling the same. Your channel has given me so much inspiration and fuel to help me overcome these adverse times and continue embracing the beauty around me both in the nature here and with some beautiful people I do come in contact with❤🙏

Many are called few are chosen , there are others like you who are feeling weary at this time , but we won't give up as we have made it this far .and must see things through .Sending you much Love and Light .

Thank you Colette for taking me where I know I will never be able to go now. I appreciate all you have shared. Blessings to you always. ❤❤

We are right behind you. What you do is of great energy and kindness for good. You are greatly appreciated ❤

Dearest Colette, we are your other garden of open hearts in which you plant the seeds of Peace. I enjoy the serenity your videos provide.

As the Beatles sang “Nothings going to change my world” YOU ARE STRONG❤

Please stay with us. I needed you.

Please dont shut down, i find your videos very uplifting an peaceful. I to transitioned from a large metropolitan city in the USA, to a small rural town in the USA, I needed to get closer to nature. Your videos have inspired me to start planting a tiny garden this year. Please continue to post content. Blessed Be😊❤❤❤❤

Your videos are a Sanctuary and a reminder to us all of the beautiful things in the world. ❤

Hello Collete .. I hear you ❤️🙏🏼 I was feeling v stressed today .. watching your video has been incredibly soothing as usual. The beautiful beach & the stones .. I am always drawn to the beach & am awestruck by the art that has been created in the rock & stones over thousands of years. I too have noticed that the birds are singing louder than ever .. it’s beautiful .. nature is trying so hard to wake us all up. More & more people are turning to peace & light .. we are all realising a need for a calm sanctuary .. your sanctuary is shining its light out & it’s spreading far & wide … as we step into your light our own shines brighter & so it grows far & wide. Love & light from my sanctuary to yours. ❤️

I love the birdsong, so missing where i live.. BBe..❤

Spend time in your beautiful garden, and forget SM.

Keep on being you 💚🫶🙏⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️

The ridiculous self importance of those who call themselves our leaders intrudes on us each day. It's a challenge not to allow it to overwhelm us. You have undertaken an enormous task Colette, and I don't just refer to the physical part. I know you didn't purposely choose it, but thank you for your strength. We live in a world now in which words have become weapons. I know you have been berated for simply being you. This will pass. Somehow I know it. I watch your channel and dream of the same sort of life. I'm physically unable to start from scratch as you did, but I take joy in watching your accomplishments! And my dream will never die - I keep looking for the possibilities. My advise to those who don't like what you say is to stop listening. No one is forcing you to be here and attacking this beautiful woman and her beliefs has become tedious to the rest of us who love spending time with her. I'm sending you so much love. ❤

Thank you for another beautiful adventure in your life. Your videos are about the ONLY peace I am able to find in this world. In the first part of the video, I teared up. What I once thought I knew is simply no more. Thank you, more than you may ever know.

Do what is right for you always. It’s wearing standing up ….. so if you need a rest or retirement ???

My garden sprouted profusely and early this year which I believe is a sign from Mother that things are going in the right direction. I know in my heart, I have already made the big decision I needed to make for me. I hope everyone else will too.❤

Bird song is a remedy for anything negative. Being on a windy beach the same🥰

I understand🌿

Hi Colette, Thank you for taking us down to Strand Hill, a marvelous array of stones there! Don't get upset Colette, try and enjoy the rest of your day, beautiful bird song by the way! Many blessings to you and dear little Patsy ❤❤

Colette not just myself but so many have immensely enjoyed your journey with the development of Bealtine cottage. Such joy and rejuvenation. So much I have learned from you. Your Graciousness and your determination. A gift to us all. 🌸🌿💜 Protect your Peace. First and foremost. Do not allow those jaded shadows to invade your personal space and environment, your ora. Yes, the world is a wounded place in our present times. We feel it. We must keep our lanterns lit. Walk in your light. You are Beloved! And little Patsy as well. Sending you pure light and love from Kentucky USA. Be well dear lady. Hugs to you.

"Rest if you must, but don't you quit" - from the poem "Don't Quit" that my beloved, deceased Mother had hanging on her kitchen wall, for most of my life. Self-preservation is most important; but you sharing your Light - is part of my - and many other's; "self-preservation". I see us as portals of light....connecting....across the Planet... Blessed Be. P.S. This video is beautiful...and informative. Many thanks. I treasure my pendent. 💖

‘There is crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.’ People like yourself are that light, those of us who can step outside madness are the lucky ones, limiting my time in that madness is so so essential and it is so easy to do and find. Nature is our source of living, oh and books, if you read you will never be alone, hang tight, I have a beach close by, my dogs love the swimming aspect while I love the ebb n flow

The best is yet to Come! ❤️💜❤️🕊️🙏🌎

Hello Colette from our NH farm. I hear you my friend. I am about to attend a meeting with my lawyer this morning to apply for my LLC for my sustainability business. It has been shut down because I underwent three surgeries since October, but am quite recovered and fine now. The very nature the world is heading is the reason I will try to keep my doors open to help my neighbors, surrounding communities and into southern Maine, as I have a friend there, who will probably host organic gardening workshops. My business is low key for marketing, as I do not wish to be overwhelmed. My town is aware via their business directory and of course, word of mouth. I do not use any social media, except email. It makes for a lovely peaceful life on the farm. I hope you are able to remain low key and keep posting your channel. All the best ~ Diane

You’re the only person in the world that I resonate with and you’re thousands of miles away. 🌎

Bless you Colette....It's the way we should all be living ! ❤

The birds are singing for their breakfast❤

Dear Colette, you are a true empath and feel very deeply the vibrations of fear from our world. I sometimes feel overwhelmed and almost guilty of being happy but I also think we can just carry on with love and simplicity in our own lives as we lead by example, we cannot heal the world any other way. Your work is invaluable for inspiring so many around the globe, please stay for those of us who do not share your talents. I am feeling like indulging in some escapism and will be buying your Walking between Worlds book as I thoroughly enjoyed a cottage and three acres, what an amazing story 🥰

I just love seeing your cottage and gardens hugs Blessed Be you are so loved

When ever I find rocks r stones either on my walks r at the beach I thank the gods and elementals fir choosing me after all the millions of years it has existed on earth to hold it take it home and I proudly show off my collection like they were diamonds

I WILL BE LISTENING. Colette l have noticed a lot of change going on.❤Kerry Australia 🇦🇺

Another beautiful video ❤ you’re such a huge inspiration to me in my own journey to self sufficient life on an old homestead. Always stick to your values and beliefs no matter what ❤
