I've just spent the weekend up the coast with old friends. We love the beach, and we love beach combing. I slipped out early this morning while everyone was sleeping and had this golden hour to myself. For any Tasmanians reading you will appreciate it was made even more special as:

a) the sun was shining, and

b) there was no wind, hail or snow

Heavenlyl!!! 💙😀🙏

Peace in your Heart Retreat ❤

We just love these day retreats at Fern Tree. Despite the windy day we were well protected in the community centre, and had an amazing view of the trees dancing in front of us for the whole day.

The activity people commented on the most was the journalling.

Suzy explained that in the back of your journal you write out your grief and fears. In the front of the journal you write about your joys and what you are grateful for. At some point the front and the back of the book meet. Not necessarily in the middle, but in her experience more towards the back, meaning that eventually the scales tip towards joy and gratefulness.

Journalling is a great way to get emotions down on to the page and create some mental space and perspective.

Next retreat day: December 7. Still a few space remaining. 🌿🙏😀

Welcome to Mountain Mindfulness

Yoga & mindfulness are tools that help to get us out of our heads, and back into our hearts and bodies. They allow us to drop the constant ‘doing’ and take some time to simply ‘be’. Mindfulness research shows that we have around 60,000 thoughts a day, and that 90% of them we also had yesterday and the day before! Understanding the nature of the mind, and learning techniques to manage it, helps us live a more happy and balanced life.

Music: Coming together to sing, chant, or move with the peace dances, creates a positive vibration on every level - physical, mental and emotional. Melodic repetition and musical patterns are calming for the mind. Being in a group creates community and connection. Learning something new creates new neural pathways in the brain and is so good for your mental health.

About Melissa Howden (Sangita): Melissa’s background is in education as a music teacher working in schools in both Tasmania & London. Following a major sea change triggered by a health crisis in 2013, she found herself living in a yoga ashram in NSW and studying at the Gawler Cancer Foundation in Victoria. During this time Melissa came to understand the enormous part the mind plays in healing and in determining the quality of one’s whole life. This is why she now loves to share the path of yoga and mindfulness, as well as music, as ways to enhance both physical and mental wellbeing and to create a more personally meaningful life.
