The wildlife here at Straddie is truly amazing. There are more people coming to the calm waters of Amity than ever before, just to spot a koala or kangaroo.

Apart from getting a selfie with the neighbour hood koala, there are ways to deepen your relationship with your favourite island creature; koala, kangaroo, sea eagle, green frog. Each have qualities that can impart guidance and healing.

Guidance, inspiration and magic can be found at our July 12, Wellbeing Retreat.

By joining our morning retreat you will;

Q. Find your personal helping spirit guide from the natural world.

Q. Learn how to communicate with Nature Spirits to find guidance and healing

Q. Learn how to cultivate your relationship with Nature Spirits with rituals and ceremony at home.

I was on the queue for a hug from Lisa Behan yesterday at Gozo, Gaythorne in Brisbane. Her Women's Circle gatherings are an intimate coming together of beautiful folk, open to some shifts, willing to share, be heard and accepted. So pleased that she will be joining me for our July 12 morning retreat on Straddie.

At our April 12 event she was host on the meditation lounge. She shared her processes on mindfulness, meditation and shared some high end affirmations for us all as a group. I walked away taller after sitting with her for the session. Each of our seasonal gatherings are unique and inspired by the island and nature.

Kellie came to our April 12 event on the island, and in our recent conversation she stated that she would love to become more involved. Ali from Stanthorpe said the same thing. Two women from out west, both whom have their own healing practices, are island regulars and have a long standing love affair with Straddie.

How do we island residents from the communities of Dunwich, Amity and Point Lookout connect with find like minded people? Short answer is a regular booking at the Point lookout Hall, five times a year with the words 'wellbeing' in the title, keyword 'Straddie' and can be found on Humanitix.

Half Day Wellbeing Retreat is now booked for July 12. Located at the Point Lookout Hall it is anchored in a program that brings together the season, sitting in circle, mediation and we will call in local Nature Spirits with

We have added to our event program the words ‘and more’.

Some of the things which have been mentioned include; dawn sound healing , clothes swap , permaculture workshop, Cynotype Workshop , ginger chocolate banana bread and chai stall, yoga.

More than being a range of workshops and wellbeing activities, we all hope for a time and place for people to come together and share what is at the heart; ideas, systems and skills that contribute to a much needed sense of wellbeing for ourselves, families, communities and nature.

Permaculture is more than a garden. It is about community and systems.

April 12, Moira and I are behind the One Day Wellbeing Retreat at Point Lookout Hall.

It has morphed into something more; an opportunity to come together and meet with like minded people open to residents and visitors alike.

Few would disagree that there are some amazing people who visit the island. What an untapped resource.

The program for April 12 includes movement & meditation, sound & ceremony, healing arts market & real food lunch.

I can't say what ideas will come out of the day. But I for one would like to make this a regular island community event.

And it is my contribution to a way through these strange and uncertain times.

It is so easy to run into a kangaroo at the Point Lookout headland park, or the camp grounds Amity Point.

Why not dig a little deeper into the special messages that island wildlife can bring into our lives.
