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.
