Our Yellow Butterfly

Our logo contains a yellow butterfly – beautifully drawn by local artist Emma Haines – which is at the centre of our ethos.

As a metaphor for the soul’s spiritual journey, butterflies teach us to enjoy the present moment and make the most of our time here on Earth. They also remind us that death is just another transformation—we will just spread our wings and fly in another dimension.
