‘Silver Birch stay beautiful
Lady of the Woods is wanted
Blackthorn keeps our shadows now at bay
Hawthorn leads us joyously to May
Red Rowan makes our fires alight for dancing
Guardian Yew allows us ease of passing’

The auspicious rowan tree is the symbol for all Sue’s healing and writing.

The rowan tree is considered to have magical properties in many cultures. It was sacred to the druids and used to invoke spirits and visions. Rowan trees were grown near stone circles for protection and decoctions of berries and bark are used for medicinal purpose, especially as a gargle. The seeds are poisonous if eaten by children. Rowan has been used as an astringent and also to cure infected wounds since the olden days.

‘NATURE – THEATRE – PLAY’

Rowan started as a fertility clinic at the Royal London Hospital in the ‘80s, became Rowan Studio in the ‘90s and now has initiatives in many countries including: Rowan International, Rowan Studio Romania and now The Rowan Tree Trust that works with people with special needs throughout the world.
