Visitors to Primrose have widely different experiences, depending on
their reason for being there and their expectations before they arrived.
We find that those with fewer prior expectations tend to have a more
positive experience. As in many life situations, those who are prepared to
give have tended to get the most from their stay.
Here are some comments from Support Workers, Volunteers and Visitors who
have joined some of Seasonal Celebrations we've held over the last few
years.
Support Workers
'It was a bit scary on my first night sitting down to dinner with a big
gang of men [nb. not always only men here!] but really glad I stuck
around. The thing that will stick with me from Primrose will be the
fantastic people passing through; everyone of them teaching me something
about life, plants, the importance of a good breakfast - but most
importantly I've learnt a lot about myself. Have loved my time here. Hope
anyone who follows, will too. Thank you Paul and Jan for opening your
doors ';
Penny (2004)
'Staying on Primrose Farm was an important part of my life. I got lots
of practical experience in gardening and building especially in being
involved in fulfilment of projects. I was really interested in living
close to the Celtic culture and being involved in sound healing and
meditation. I got enough time to think about what I really want to do in
life, especially for the next 5 years. Thank you for that nice time'
Stephan, Germany (2003)
Volunteers
'Thank you very much for all. I enjoyed my stay here. Work in your farm
was a pleasure and I learn a lot about Permaculture'.
Cedric, France (2004)
'Spending time here has, and I believe will continue to do so, impacted
me in a very unexpected manner. Although my visit was brief, it was full,
and a learning and feeling and realisation experience that will be
treasured, savoured and held close always. I am forever in gratitude and
admiration of all that this farm is and the magic it holds, as well as
those who have so beautifully made their lives - and it and all, it means
one. I thank you for being here and I thank you for sharing it with me for
a moment. May the sun shine forever on you all. With warmest thanks'.
Tammy, Canada (2003)
'Primrose Farm is a truly inspiring place! It has been great to be in a
place with a vision. The Sound Chamber is fabulous. I will miss the wren,
the mouse and everyone on the farm. Thanks'.
Odette & Sam, Australia (2002)
Seasonal Celebrations
'Thank you - you have a beautiful, much loved space - I'm very happy
and so grateful for the whole experience. I have deeply, deeply affirmed,
loved, nurtured, watered and sunned my seed. Thank you for helping me with
love. It certainly shifted some serious nonsense. Much love to you all'.
[Annabel, London]
'I find once again the experience of being on the farm a 'whole'
experience. Undertaking the 'intensive' sound work and being in the
elements from the un-meditative environment of London is a healing
experience. Both unpleasant and pleasant emotions have arisen which is a
sign that (I feel) progress is sure and real'.
[Avtar, London]
