Heartwood Nature Bathing

A forest bathing invitation to carry with you into the month ahead.

This month's invitation is called All The Small Things. You can explore this using your sense of sight ... and your other senses, too.

Perhaps there is a small sensation, a smell, a subtle taste...?

I offer this as a way to guide or inspire you to connect with nature.

It is an invitation, not an instruction, so please know you can change or adapt it in any way you like.

Please feel free to share what you notice with me, or in the comments.

It's getting towards the time of the year when I start to feel a little low energy. Lucky for me, nature is a great way to recharge.

If you're the same, you might like to join me for a forest bathe this weekend!

Start your Sunday right...

Slow down, de-stress and connect with nature during a gentle wander in Mount Coot-Tha Botanic Gardens.

What a joy to return to Women's Group at HUB Neighbourhood Centre Inala in Inala for a little nature fix!

We explored a world of colour, selecting paint swatches and trying to find its match in nature!

Then we built a nature mandala with our foraged items, creating an ephemeral artwork which participants were invited to name. The names were:

💃 Wonderful Women Wander in the Garden
✨️ Nature Observations
🍀 Together In Unity

Thank you HUB Neighbourhood Centre Inala !

I’m joining the International Forest Bathing & Soundwalk Weekend!

I've just opened up a few extra spots in my FREE Soundwalk in the afternoon of Saturday September 12, at Raven St Reserve.

A Soundwalk is an invitation to experience a place through listening. By moving slowly and paying attention to the sounds around us, familiar or unfamiliar places can be experienced in a different way.

What might you notice if you slowed down and simply listened?

Reserve your spot: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/soundwalk-experience-listen-to-the-living-world-tickets-1998928781796

This walk is part the International Forest Bathing & Soundwalk Weekend, a collaboration bringing together communities across different places and countries.

It is a local experience, but also part of something much larger: people in many different places choosing, for one weekend, to pay closer attention to the places around them.

This hour-long offering will be free, and places are limited. This is your heads up that registrations will open tomorrow (Thursday 27th) at 8.00pm. You know what to do!

Nature has so many ways of healing, inspiring, and freeing us.

For me, scenes like this are soul food.

What do we have here?

I came across this in the park today, and my imagination soared.

I wonder who created this little offering, and what it means?

Four friends about to embark on an ocean adventure, perhaps?

Only the leaves above, and whoever made this, know for sure.

What do you see?

Grass trees reminding me that growth isnt always a straight line ♥️

And there is beauty in imperfection.

What are you noticing today?
