Nature & Life
Nearly 6 months of being a Covid refugee has put a halt to my work with groups, but allowed me to explore new directions. This newsletter is about art, connecting to nature and learning. If you have a flicker of curiosity stay with me and share it with your friends.
I will be interviewing artists, giving painting and learning tips, showcasing Australian flora and ways of understanding how to slow down and engage with what is good in the world.
Connecting to nature helps you connect to yourself. In these stressful times of lockdown and restrictions finding the easiest path to peace is worth your attention.

What to do …
One of the easiest things you can do today to lift and connect with your own strength is to take a walk, a conscious walk. Take a walk and take note of the plants and trees in your street - where are they in their seasonal cycle? What is flowering? What is coming into leaf? Spring is such a great time to engage with your surroundings. The elements invite you to put your head up and feel the change in the air, the sun, the smells, the breeze.
