Thyme, The Cotswolds / A space to pause, breathe and take a little time

"I wanted to tie breathing into our whole philosophy here. Thyme is somewhere where people come to take a little time, to take a deep breath." It was such a pleasure to welcome Caryn Hibbert, the founder and owner of Thyme, to the Curated Spaces podcast. The remarkable, family story behind this space spans over two decades and encompasses Caryn's own medical background with the power of breath and scent at the heart of Thyme today. Join Molly and Caryn as they talk about Thyme's powerful connection to nature, not only here in the Cotswolds, but also through the flight of its migratory birds that create a golden thread between this 'village within a village' and Sub-Saharan Africa. 01.45 - Introducing Caryn and her journey to Thyme 05.13 - The beautiful Cotswolds and the crystal clear river Leach 07.08 - Buying the manor house and the farm buildings in a ‘mad moment’ 09.25 - The principles behind Thyme and its connection to nature 10.02 - The cookery school and pioneering seasonal eating 11.54 - The botanicals at the heart of Thyme and its restaurant 17.35 - Caryn, the pioneer of green and using it as Thyme’s neutral 19.49 - Growing a cutting garden full of flowers and 22.11 - The importance and power of scent to complete a room and evoke memories 24.30 - Introducing Bertioli, Thyme’s botanical beauty range which aims to reduce the waste in hotel products 27.33 - The migrating birds that returns to Thyme’s water meadows every year 29.46 - Building breath into Thyme’s philosophy and the power of taking a deep breath 34.30 - A family business with Caryn’s children running the day to day 39.17 - The next chapter for Thyme, colouring in the spaces 42.30 - Caryn’s spaces to detox, celebrate and explore You can find Thyme here / www.thyme.co.uk And follow them here / instagram.com/thyme.england This conversation was supported by Sop Find them here / sop.life And follow them here / sop__life Join the Curated Spaces conversation Instagram / instagram.com/curated_spaces_club/ Linkedin / linkedin.com/company/curated-spaces-club Youtube / youtube.com/channel/UCXSPidWwH8vkNOPhHB7vcuQ Hosted on Acast.
