For those who for whatever reason cannot be in today, but really wish they were:

Create a sacred space or circle:
Bring the elements together (air, fire, water, earth and metal - if you choose to)
Burn some incense or essential oil (Australian would be best, but your favorite one does work too)
Go into your garden or sit by a plant or flowers of your choice
Light a fire (or a candle)
If you have something from the sea bring it close by (and if you don’t have anything, a glass of water will suffice)
Add your favorite crystal (black obsidian is good for grounding and protection)
Add a piece of metal to your collection (jewellery, a coin, a spoon… whatever you have)
Close your eyes, feet flat on the ground and connect with the Earth
Fill your body with loving light
And then,
Imagine yourself in Canberra
And let the loving light pour out from the Earth through your body and expand throughout the city and the people there

Sit with it for as long as you can

Sometimes you love your new appliance so much that you find everything you can to use it.

Well, that’s me and my do-it-all stand mixer 😊

This time I made apple mousse, sometimes called apple sauce, or maybe stewed apples, but that I call compote de pommes 😜

Easy as can be!

1kg of your favorite apples peeled and cut
1 small glass of water

To add a bit of flavour you can use either 1-2 vanilla beans cut in the middle
Or 1 stick of cinnamon

Alternatively you can add he vanilla or cinnamon just before eating the compote 😉

Put in a pot
Bring to the boil
Tune the heat down and let simmer for 20 minutes while stirring
Remove from heat and allow to cool before pureeing the apples

Serve (warm is my favorite)
Et voilà!

Bon appétit 😋

I love a good
This time by a fellow naturopath

thank you for inspiring me to give a go at making my own vitamin C.

So I’m dehydrating oranges before grounding them. This could be added to water, on top of crepes, taken as is… any way you like really

And because I can’t seem to find oranges when I need the zest in my cooking and baking I will dehydrate the zest too so that I have it on hands any time I need

Don’t you hate it when you follow a recipe and the end result looks nothing like the picture on the recipe!

That’s my take on

And here was I thinking I would put some in a jar and gift it to my best friend…

Well, that won’t happen now that’s for sure!

It smells great though. So I’m looking forward to trying it out in my

As women we often feel we need to be validated when, in actual fact, we just need to feel unconditionally loved and supported to be unstoppable. We are scared of standing out, not doing the right thing, etc.

As long as we live according to our values and standards, with and morality we should not need

You've got this. I've got this. We've got this!
