Shana Tova!
Back from a beautiful family time in Tasmania, here is a short recap.
This fantastic trip was meticulously planned with love to suit our needs and interests. We went to all the best bird watching spots, including Bruny Island and Melaleuca (a luxury day tour for my parents). My dad got to see and photograph most of the endemic Tasmanian birds and several other Australian birds. We even met Little Penguins up close at night, in Stanley.
We did several short hikes in the wild:
On top of Kunanyi (Mt Wellington) we experienced snow. At Cataract Gorge we watched the river raging and breaking its banks. On The Nut we danced in rainbows. At Mt Field we marveled at the giant trees and cascading waterfalls. It was magical.
Yes, it was cold. So naturally we had to eat some delicious treats and keep nourished with local produce from the Farmgate market.
We enjoyed the elaborate art at MONA and checked out the Hobart museum and Launceston QV gallery. Ella did a great job as a tour guide both on the road and in the galleries.
We got to meet some of Ella’s friends and reconnect with some old friends (Thank you Helen for meeting me in Hobart for lunch!).
I went to one yoga class at Folde studio in Hobart, with views to the snow capped mountain and practiced Tai Chi once at the Tamar Valley Wetlands Visitor’s centre platform with White Belly Sea Eagles.
It is still hard to believe that it was only 2 weeks. We did so much!!! And now I am back at home with my sweet cats and enjoying the blossom scented warm air of Bundaberg.
You might be aware that September 22nd is both the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, and the Southern Hemisphere’s Spring Equinox.
It is a special combination, celebrating the natural change of seasons and a new beginning. Just like the changes in nature, it is a good time to reflect, recalibrate, and return to balance.
This is a season to plant intentions, nurture hope, and celebrate the soul’s capacity to blossom.
💗💗💗May this day bring you clarity, vitality, and greater alignment🌿🌿🌿
If you are looking to improve your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, you are invited to book in for a Yoga session or a private consultation. I would love to work with you.
Love, Tamar.
