“In 2007 my Life literally turned upside down on the static trapeze. At school I had brilliant marks in all subjects except for sports. I was scared of heights in general, and of bars in gymnastics. Therefore, when I had the vision of me on a trapeze high up in the centre of a large circus tent, I thought this was science fiction or symbolism.

However, a year later the new guy in the dance class asked me, if he could put up a trapeze here in the Universal Hall in Findhorn, adding, he could teach me; and he did. So I learnt static trapeze age 40, mainly outside in trees, often in Cluny Garden, finding TreePeace.”
