Thankyou for this post. This could be on of the most accurate visual depictions of therapy I’ve seen, a key question always, in every therapy session is how do we increase our capacity to be with the stress of living in this world at this time? 🙏🏼🌱😊

Really looking forward to gathering this evening to cultivate some Active Hope in a community of practice. Brene Brown in her research found that hope is a thinking process that can be cultivated. Joanna Macy from understood that we need community spaces to allow our grief for what is happening in the world in order to cultivate hope. For our first gathering we’re going to be writing /creating a love letter to Mother Earth with sentence starters from the Active Hope Spiral inspired by my friend Alice🙏🏼😊🌱 I found these beautiful prayer flags of gratitude and hope in Lenah Valley recently, such a great thing to do, eapecially watching the plants begin to burst forth with new life 🙏🏼🌱😊

And just like that Spring has Sprung! Wintering can feel like we’re on pause, resting in the dark, tending to our roots, waiting- this winter I found waiting challenging and long! Then Whoosh it seems so sudden buds, blossoms, flowers, sunshine, a little more warmth, skies are blue, I even saw a seal celebrating in the river!! I’m curious what’s springing into life around you? Or within you? Yesterday I started a new part-time job working with refugees and new migrants, amazing watching a seed sprout and grow!!! Excited for this new challenge and looking forward to continuing to see private clients too 😊🙏🏼🌱

How do you like to be mindful when in nature? How do you deepen your connection to the more than human world? Is it through the 5 senses, through movement, through being creative, through learning about nature, through learning from the wisdom of Mother Earth? 🙏🏼😊🌱🍃
