Beautiful seeing all the signs of new growth in the forest at this time.
Nature has been slowly growing the seed and now it's ready to unfurl and be fully all it's been designed to be.
Yes, this the season to unfurl, the season for new growth, new journeys, for stepping into what earlier in the year was just a seed of an ideA.
Today nature empowers me with courage . May it be the same for you in your life ...

FOREST THERAPY EXPERIENCE this TUESDAY. 10am - 12pm.

We will tap in to all our five senses, while out in nature.
I will guide you in doing this.
This is not a speed walk. This is a meandering wander for the soul, heart, mind and body.
Movement frees the body and emotions to become unstuck and flowing. Mindfulness stills the mind and allows us to "tune in" to what we are being offered for growth and refuelling.
Forest bathing provides all of the above.
Come wander with me this Tuesday.

Plant snacks and teas will be served in a tea ceremony near the end of our time together.
