The silent, unseen forces around us. Taken for granted - the wind beneath wings, water under the waves, the breath we take. Awe and wonder. Nature is a miracle, we are miracles.

The shape of the wing resembling the wave blew me away when I looked back and noticed it this morning, months after capturing the photo.

I wonder how often we forget to be truly present and curious . A reminder to me for sure! Have a fabulous day and see the magic ✨✨✨

When I mentioned I was heading to a silence retreat, most people looked at me with intrigue (and maybe disbelief 😬😂)— I am known to chat, after all!
But more and more, I am craving opportunities to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with peace. My phone for one has been taking too much of my attention and energy, and it felt time to put it down!

A silence retreat might sound like pure purgatory (though it is a kind of purification). No phone. No conversations (apart from our teacher guiding meditation, breathwork + gentle morning movement). Just space to sit with whatever arose.

The retreat stretched from Thursday to Sunday, with silence from Friday morning until Sunday lunch.

At times there was restlessness, emotions and mental chatter. But slowly, stillness arrived… and with it:
✨ Deep rest for my nervous system ✨ Clarity and perspective ✨ Space for emotions to move naturally ✨ Reconnection with my body + nature

The weather was incredible, I went for walks when time permitted. Saturday was lit by a full moon (also the 8/8 Lionsgate portal ✨🦁), and I stumbled across a bonfire. I sat there mesmerised — listening to the crackle of the fire, the cattle mooing, and the quiet rhythms of the earth.
It reminded me how deeply nourishing it is to unplug, slow down and listen inwardly.

I’ve been back for a week now and am so aware I have to consciously choose peace and can see my triggers and patterns but feel soooo much better. I’m booking again in February and will make it biannually — because for me, silence is gold and really does speak volumes. 🌙🔥🌿

Have you ever been on a silence retreat — or could you imagine giving it a try? I’d love to hear!!

And if you’d like a retreat but not a silence one (😂🥳 ) - come to our Rest, Restore and Reset Retreat in Bali in October!! (btw only 3 or 4 spaces left, link in bio) xox

Winnie was sooooo relaxed after a joint fur baby and mum cranio session (she lay on her human mum ) Both parties had lots of releases and Winnie had an extra long nap when home - just like we humans sometimes need post session.

It’s a wrap, well almost!
From Verona (home of Romeo and Juliet) to Bolzano to Villnoss via Alpe de Siusi (cable car from Ortisei to the most spectacular views), onwards to Cortina as they prepare for the 2026 winter Olympics then onto Venice - I have wanted to get there since childhood and was not disappointed! I think we were lucky with the crowds, it was clean and perfect temperature and then a final 24 hrs in Milan and a goodbye to my trusty travel mate (more to come on that!) who I will miss so much as he returns to London and me to Melbourne - 😭
Departing Dubai now, hoping for some 😴….. ciao and grazie for now, it’s been amazing!!! ✨✨✨✨

Thirty years ago to the day I arrived in London for a 6 month secondment with work, but actually left 8 years later with my husband and two sons.

Last week I spent 4 fabulous nights in London seeing my 26 y/o who moved over 9 months ago, lifelong friends we made back through work and pre-school and family that have kept very closely connected over 5 generations.

It was also a case of being at the right place at the right time - front row for the Guards at Buckingham Palace, the Mall looking a treat for VE Day, even meeting Oleksander Usyk at The Cafe Royal - a favourite place Paul used to manage.

I was taken to Kew Gardens for a glorious display of blue bells and blossoms, Richmond Park for the rhododendron and Azaleas (I have to say this was the most amazing floral display I have EVER seen, to the point the draw of cherry blossoms in Japan has lessened) and topped off with seeing the Deer.

Pics including the reunion for me and Charlie after 9 months, pictured with Max who has been a great mate since birth

A day in the country at a friend’s I met through Charlies pre-school and subsequently her sister.
Last but not least Alice who was at pre-school with Charlie.

I had SUCH a lovely time, good friendships survive both distance and times! I felt very lucky every day I was there and am now having a wonderful time in Europe with Charlie 🙏🇬🇧

we didn’t get a photo! But I loved seeing you xox

Not even 3 days into my 3 week trip my cup feels full after a super special weekend with family in Yorkshire.

I timed my travels to attend a Bidgood cousin reunion (my in laws), with a dinner and overnight stay in the dales. They started this tradition after my husband died. Tragically there have been more losses amongst the cousins including most latterly my beautiful sister in law Suzy.

On Saturday we were invited to the opening of a memorial garden in honour of her wonderful contribution to the club. She was a much loved, respected and admired committee member. They have had a plaque engraved for a new bench, a significant stone memorial, planted a tree and are creating a garden around each. Many of us brought plants and flowers to plant. It looked so beautiful.

We toasted to Suzy and enjoyed sharing stories. The engraved words are so special and perhaps ones we can all remember -

A poignant excerpt from an email from Rick Hanson that I received today and felt worth sharing - Finding Peace

Throughout history, most people have lived under tough conditions while still finding their ways to be happy. If they could do it, we can, too.

Know that most things are beyond your control. Try to accept this fact, and uncertainty, and not always knowing.

What brings you to peace? Neurologically, it helps to raise your gaze, look out a window, take a bird’s-eye view. Take some breaths, with the exhalations longer than the inhalations. Tune into the internal sensations of breathing, which will help to quiet inner chatter.

Look around and see so many things that are unaffected by the political ups and downs: trees reaching for the sky, birds flying, friends cooking dinner, good music, laughter, love flowing. Turn toward whatever are reliable sources of well-being and comfort and wisdom for you: perhaps the simple taste of a banana, the hug of a friend, the eager look in your dog’s eyes, the vastness of the night sky, the onward developments of science, the perennial insights of the great teachers, or the simple rainbow beauty of an oil sheen in a puddle.

In your mind, there is always the peaceful stability of awareness itself. To paraphrase Pema Chodron, you are the sky and everything else is just the weather.

And even deeper is a fundamental stillness in your ground of being. Slow down, be gentle with yourself, and you can find this quiet between and beneath all the busy thoughts and feelings and desires. This innate peacefulness, infused with love, is our true home, a reliable refuge and source of strength under all conditions, including sometimes an unreliable and scary world.

Your own practice and efforts will help many others besides yourself. Rippling out into the world, touching many lives, known and unknown, seen and unseen.
