Yesterday was meant to be a day of celebration and, whilst it started that way, something in the universe conspired against it ending that way too. It left me feeling low, upset and angry. As a result today I took some time out to recalibrate myself. I had already planned to visit one of myContinue reading “Recalibrating”

Midday chorus
Much has been said across the ages of the sweet sound of both the dawn and dusk chorus. The sweet melodies of birds as they are either starting or ending their day. The dawn chorus even has its own day (the first Sunday of May if you were wondering) – and rightly so. It’s beautifulContinue reading “Midday chorus”
Humility
During times of Covid-19 I’ve been leading remotely guided nature therapy sessions. Whilst by the sheer nature of them, they have a different energy to them than in person sessions, they still enable participants to connect to the nature that is both in and around them, no matter where in the world they are. IContinue reading “Humility”
What is Nature?
For the past few days I’ve been attending The Nature Talks – an online conference that has brought together nature practitioners from across the globe. In one of the sessions the speaker spoke of what we mean by the term nature and it got me thinking. If you were to look at any indigenous language-Continue reading “What is Nature?”
The Sea
Growing up I only ever saw the sea once a year during our annual fortnight holiday, usually to Dorset. Days spent playing in the shallow waters of the English channel. Playing with new found friends on the beach or happily playing alone with the sea. By the time I came to select which University toContinue reading “The Sea”
Three Things
No Sunday morning is complete for me without listening to Michael Ball on BBC Radio 2. No matter what the weather, or how I’m feeling – he has an incredible ability to put a smile on my face. He always has to be fair. On one of his shows in early January 2021 he encouragedContinue reading “Three Things”
A New Way
We’re about a year into this pandemic and the way we all go about our daily lives have changed. Facemasks have become part of our wardrobes, loungewear part of our office wardrobe and online shopping become the norm. We reminisce about those days when you could meet friends for a drink, watch a show atContinue reading “A New Way”
Small things
I guided a virtual session earlier this month. One of the invitations offered was to look at the small things. With participants dotted across the world, it was interesting to see that two came back to our sharing circle with noticings along the same lines. There’s a well known saying mighty oaks from tiny acornsContinue reading “Small things”
Connectivity
In todays world, when we talk about being connected we all too often think about it from a technological perspective. The internet, social media, email … they’ve all enabled us to be more connected to one another. This has been especially important over the past year through the Covid-19 pandemic. I think there are other,Continue reading “Connectivity”
Sea State
It never fails to amaze me how changeable the sea can be. One moment it can be so calm and still and then, in what seems like a blink of the eye, thunderous white horses of waves are pounding the shoreline. This year I feel I’ve noticed it more than any other. I make aContinue reading “Sea State”
