At the beach yesterday was the first time I have ever seen an octopus like this - so big, in very shallow water of the estuary next to the beach. Here's a little video for you all!

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. I am off to the beach for the first time in many months! Hurray 😊 I find there's nothing like a float in the waves to recalibrate and ground myself. For those enrolled in qigong, today's recording is now available (in two parts due to an internet glitch, my apologies - or rather Starlink's apologies!!)

Hi everyone, just a reminder about this Sunday's New Moon Drumming circle online. Head to Classroom · Mood Boost to find the page to sign up. The circle will involve a meditation, drumming, singing (note - nobody else will hear you 😉), and intention setting for the month ahead. Love to see you there. Remember - you don't need a drum to join in! Each circle is US$10 - about AUD $14. 🌛

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a good week. I had an extremely slow day but I did manage to make some lavender beeswax and olive oil ointment, which was a bit of fun, except for when it came for washing up! And when I walked my dog, I discovered a whole lot of beautiful roses in a local abandoned garden. I'm planning to go back and harvest some petals for drying soon. Anyway I am not going to be able to make tonight's cuppa, but please feel free to jump on there and see who you might meet! Just click on the link at the top of this page. :-)

Hello and welcome to @Elly Jarvie and @Nora Bone - thanks for joining! Great to have you here. Check out the Classroom for heaps of free mindfulness recordings, and would be lovely to meet you at one of our bi-weekly virtual coffees 😊
