Find Yourself Closer to Nature
An off-grid experience designed to help you slow down and switch off
Mindful Meditation
Naomi has been a mindfulness meditation practitioner for almost ten years. She creates content for online and print media, and delivers in-person sessions.
She is the 'voice' of a mindfulness meditation app creating thousands of pieces of relaxing and inspiring content focussing on emotional and spiritual wellbeing which have been listened to over a million times, and resulted in a book of her daily meditations being published. She also has a monthly mindful radio show.
Naomi is also a qualified Horticulturalist and Landscape Architect and is passionate about the healing power of nature on the mind.
Flaxmill Bothy is located just outside Castlerock and is set on the edge of a forest on the North Coast of Northern Ireland, only a mile from the Atlantic Ocean. A babbling stream runs through the site, honey bees collect nectar from the flowers, birds sing in the trees, and leaves rustle in the wind. If you want to be closer to nature, this is the place to do it.
We have kept bees at the mill for many years. We are very intentional about never using chemical sprays in order to keep our bees, honey, plants, birds and local wildlife happy and healthy. Our comb and runny honey can be found in local shops during the summer.

Unique Events
Flaxmill Bothy is a charmingly rustic and entirely unique location. The site of a former flax mill, abandoned for hundreds of years, it now comes to life with cottagecore parties and homegrown feasts. It is a magical place that leaves you feeling like you’ve stepped back in time, or stepped sideways through the veil into another world.
If you would like to hold an event at the mill, or use it as a location shoot, please get in touch.

Upcoming Events
Saturday 12th December | 7pm
Join us for an unforgettable evening. Enjoy fine dining in an off-grid, rustic setting. A one-of-a-kind experience.
Dress Code: Winter Glam: All Fur Coat and Warm Knickers
4 course meal including canapés and a complimentary drink to start
Bring your own wine, but there will be a sommelier on hand to pour your drinks for you. (Our sommelier and chef fell in love while working at a 2 Michelin star restaurant).
Food by Sarah from the Little Deli: Sarah is a professional chef with nearly 20 years’ experience working across the hospitality industry. Her career has taken her through fine dining restaurants and hotels in Scotland, Ireland and Australia, where she gained a wealth of experience and developed a passion for creating high-quality, memorable food experiences.
Drawing on her extensive industry background, Sarah went on to establish her own private dining and catering business on the North Coast, providing bespoke catering experiences for a wide range of occasions.
Alongside continuing to run her own successful catering business, Sarah now shares her knowledge and experience as a lecturer in Professional Cheffing at Northern Regional College, helping to inspire and develop the next generation of chefs.
Please note this is an off-grid setting with no electricity or running water. The loo is in a caravan, the heat is from a wood-burning stove, the light is from candles, and we will be dining in a very old stone barn in December. It is delightful, charming and entirely unique.
Beekeeping Experience
Spend 3 hours with Ken, one of the most respected beekeepers in the local area. His knowledge of bees, acquired from decades of first-hand experience is a calming and fascinating experience.
Schedule an hour’s session with Naomi at the mill.
Sit in nature while reflecting on whatever is going on with you right now. We observe the stream, trees, birds, fire, or move through the forest together. Breathing exercises, mindful questions, and gentle guidance.
The mill is a very special place, and has a way of reaching into the depths your being and allowing things that need attention to float up to the surface.
Naomi has run thousands of sessions on every topic imaginable, so if there’s something specific you’d like to focus on, she can create a custom experience for you.
Available for 1:1 or group sessions, either at the mill or a location of your choice, or even online. Indoor and outdoor space available at the mill.
Once you book a session, I will be in touch to arrange a date and time.
Friday 16th October | 8pm
A relaxing firelit evening for the Push It Mama community.
