“We need to wake up and choose love and compassion, not death and destruction. Love and death have a lot in common, but the difference is that love demands full consciousness and individual responsibility. Love wants to live. If we risked a little introspection, we’d see that death, despair, and destruction are the easy way out. But to love — now, that takes real stamina, real courage.”

“Every separation you make from a person or place that cannot meet you where you stand is a step towards the community of your true belonging. In as much as you have grown your capacity for inclusiveness, so too will you be challenged to hold protective boundaries around the village you are building. Not everyone will share your values, but in the act of turning away from those that don’t, you are also turning towards those that do.”

Feeling washed and scrubbed after a week with five deep, beautiful yoga classes.

It doesn't happen often. I very rarely manage to shape the time or space for this. But I feel the value!

So, am endlessly grateful for the boost on Sunday at my annual highlight, the amazing Retreat Yourself Festival. A whirlwind of dance, yoga, comedy, soulful talks and connections in the African sunlight. I did two classes in a row on the last day, the first a magnificent Canadian woman who writes and weaves her own poetry into yoga, the second a powerful South African female teacher who works with a magical musician, weaving live music into the class. What a dream combination, I was knackered and so moved! Pic 2 is my view from the yoga tent of the magical mountains in the distance.

Festivals or gatherings are not easy things. Camping. Heat. Mud. People. Lots of them., not all sober or fully conscious. Theres an edge and inevitable comfort zone stretch. I make it a habit despite this, to get over my beliefs that they are too much for me and go anyway a few times a year. I never egret this. Because being together with others is medicine. Community is medicine. I see far too many friends and loved ones isolating in this complex time. I get it. It's a lot easier and the world is a scary place. But, people are mostly good and we see this when we come together and share life, music, dance, connection.

Please my friends, don't feel like isolation is the cure to your anxiety, grief, anger or sadness in these times. We need each other now more than ever.

Now back to yoga and its amazing ability to work the body from the inside, activate the vagus nerve and mobilise the spine. It's always been yoga that I have come back to again and again in my life. Back to the mat and back into myself.

Wishing our amazing cohort of candidate Metabolic Health Coaches the very best as they set off on their intensive four month certification journey with Nutrition Network

I am honoured to share your first class as part of the faculty on this training and to be able to share my biggest tool and teacher, the work of the Ikigai with you all.

I am so inspired by each of you, doing the most incredible work in the world with great intellect, care and courage. I can't wait to meet you on the other side of this journey to celebrate with you all and to work with you into the future. How lucky I am. We are.

Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty in our class today. I learn a lot and grew from this session.

Wishing you huge courage and learning over these next few months. This will not be easy.

There will be clouds. There will be rainbows too. .

I am very honoured to be included in this stellar line up of experts in the new and about to launch Nutrition Network training, Gut Health.

Such a long anticipated training that we have known for years we Must produce. But like some of our other new science trainings, it's taken time for there to be the evidence and expertise in place with the depth and evidence we need to get there.

This piece is a key factor in the treatment of metabolic health: we simply cannot digest our food or life in the correct ways with a damaged gut. And most people have one! There is huge work to be done for most in this area and this is just the start, looking comprehensively at the mechanics of gut health and what is needed to restore it,

It's been my passion and area of research for the past years since I spoke about this in San Diego and had so many questions of such variety, they extended the lunch break for them !

In this module, I am not talking about the science, but the scientifically supported techniques to bring back gut-brain communication and care. This is a huge body of work, but I will be sharing my top few exercises from different fields that are game changers in this area from a somatic and nervous system perspective.

Join us on this amazing new training!

Yesterday a few of us from our ops team at Nutrition Network brain stormed our planning for the year and also the many hats we wear in our lives and our work. We have a jam packed and fascinating year ahead with some Big projects, products and amazing trainings coming up, starting with the long anticipated Gut Health training.

Now, back to Hats! I wear many and I have realised I need to take some off lately as it was getting a little wild over her on my head with all of them.

Sometimes we get exactly the one perfect hat we first wanted and chose. Lucky and rare!

Mostly, we have to figure things out, work to find our perfect hat and also, change them a few times, take a few off and let go of several or many, throughout a career and lifetime. What we want to be sure of is that we are in the best possible fit for us and then, from there, make it work the best we can in the conditions we have :)

Looking forward to another year with the many extraordinary humans I get to work with, wearing our best possible hats for us.

Hats On! Let's Go!

Thanks to The Noakes Foundation for the inspiring space we get to dream in!

In these challenging times
There is divergence
In ideas views directions opinions
Truth is scarce and hard to pin down at times in so much mis-information.

It's time to work on clear honest communication.
To stay clear that we are on each other's sides mostly:
And that is the side of
Kindness and peace.

We can be together peacefully and right now,
That is enough

These are the times not to bail, block or step away.

From the challenging conversations or those that challenge us. We are presented with opportunities to grow through this disparity.
To grow stronger through these times.

Yes, there is a lot of mud.
Let' s learn from the lotus and use it
To rise.
