Hi everyone, First of all, a very warm welcome to our new members! @Sarah Givens , @Idoia Sualde , @Denise Bee , @Alexander Leyshon , @Terri M , @Jo Morgan , @Kyla Ramos , @Brittany Diserens and @Cara Leyshon @Evelyn Butcher @Otto van Dyk It’s lovely to have you here. 🥰 I’ve attached our PAWS poster and Glimmer poster to this post as a little introduction to what we practise here and what this community is all about. ✨And for everyone, a few updates as PAWS continues to grow and evolve ✨ - @Sifu Aron is now an Admin here. We are growing as a community and I'm beyond grateful that he is helping me tend to our lovely space. He’ll be helping me behind the scenes and around the community, so you may see him popping up a little more often. Thank you, Aron! 💛 - Our Community Meetings will now be held once a month, on the first Wednesday of every month. I want these gatherings to feel meaningful and worth showing up for. Moving to monthly meetings gives me more time to prepare something special for each one, whether that’s a meditation, a little lecture, an experience or something for us to explore together. - I’ve also recorded a new meditation called "Coming Home". This one feels particularly special to me. I created it as a cornerstone experience for PAWS, something that captures what this practice and community are really about. You can listen to it here: https://www.loom.com/share/767d2b0ec20e4d64b6dfc542b868aad1 - And finally, I’m still redesigning the Classroom. I’m taking my time to rethink how everything fits together and how I can make PAWS simpler, clearer and easier to practise in everyday life.

Remembering how good it feels to hug my daughter, the dogs being very happy to see me, but one earned a struggle cuddle first…… she’s now tucked into bed with me and her doggie bro. My OWN bed!!! SO happy…… I just had to share my joy! ❤️💕

Hello from ED! I have got my Kiki and puppies fix from @Sam King Centreline meditation is really helpful, thank you @Birdy O'Sheedy And I got bedside delivered coffee.! Had a great morning started first day of my dog training plan. Inspired by @Jas Whiting and @Pat Stuart. I really wanted to train both dogs well. Had some short exercises and tracking in the backyard. Worked more getting away from two-ball. I then had a lot of pain and other spinal symptoms. My daughter drove me ( still can’t move my right foot) and I am hoping for some answers. Thank for being an awesome community!

Hello and welcome. I'm so glad you're here. 💛 I honestly have to pinch myself knowing that people are joining us and help us build this movement and new take on wellbeing. Over the next 28 days, we'll explore a simple but powerful question: What if your dog could help improve your wellbeing? PAWS stands for: ✨ Pause✨ Appreciate✨ Wonder✨ Share Together we'll discover how small moments with our dogs can help us feel calmer, more connected, more grateful, and more present. This isn't about being the perfect dog owner. Believe me, you will see in my Pjs, with messy hair, slobber on my clothes but a with a big smile on my face and Pax's face. I also have quite the potty mouth 😜 So please don't feel any pressure to perform. This isn't another challenge you need to complete perfectly. This is a gentle wellbeing journey. Some days you'll dive deeply into the activities. Some days you might only spend a few moments reflecting on a prompt. Both count. Your dog isn't keeping score, and neither am I. 💛 A few community guidelines ✨Be kind. ✨Share, don't compare. ✨Progress over perfection. ✨Help create a space where people feel safe to contribute. Start Here ✨Please introduce yourself below and tell us: ✨Your name ✨Your dog's name ✨Where you're joining from ✨One thing you'd love more of in your life right now (More joy? More calm? More energy? More connection?) I and honestly, the rest of the group, would love to get to know you and your dogs. Thank you for being part of this very first PAWS Month. I can't wait to share this journey with you. Much love, Birdy & Pax 💛

September last year we bought 98 acres of paradise on the Mid North Coast NSW and life has completely changed - for both myself and my beautiful Bugaboo. The greatest change has been being able to stop and truly appreciate the small and beautiful moments ✨️ Watching the sun rise over the misty mountain and the rays of light breaking through the tall trees that surround us. Sitting quietly with Buggie watching the colours of the sky change as the sun sets on another big adventurous day. Moments often taken for granted are now able to be truly embraced! Buggie and I have had a very special bond ever since she came to me as a sick little 5 week old, but being in nature together has created something even more special! 🥰 Something words can't even really describe! Sometimes, no matter how chaotic or overwhelming life may seem, just pausing and being truly present with our little 4 legged buddies can bring it all back into perspective 😊 How blessed are we to have such a grounding force in our lives! Looking forward to PAWS!
