🌿 2024 Reflections

As we get closer to the end of 2024, we reflect on a year of growth, connection and natural wonders. We're filled with gratitude for the moments shared and the progress made together.

This year has been a tapestry of personal and professional triumphs. Ryan and Jack's exceptional dedication has propelled our clients to new heights from
perfecting golf swings to cooking nutritious omelettes and conquering squats amidst the energy of the outdoors. We have embraced rejuvenating nature walks.

Our Nature for Life program has blossomed, creating a sanctuary of calm and connection. We've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of green spaces, offering a respite from life's demands.

The year has brought us closer to unveiling the research into the profound benefits of nature for adults with autism through my ongoing research. This journey has reinforced our commitment to green therapy, inspiring us to dive deeper into nature's embrace during the summer break.

To our cherished clients your progress has been our guiding star. As we step into 2025, we're excited to:

- Set ambitious new goals
- Explore uncharted territories in nature-based therapy
- Strengthen our community bonds through shared outdoor experiences

As we bid farewell to 2024, remember to:

- Prioritise safety and kindness
- Embrace life's adventures with open arms
- Find solace and excitement in nature's playground.

🌊🏞️ We're embarking on a well-deserved journey of rest and rejuvenation from December 20, 2024, to February 3, 2025.

We encourage you to immerse yourself in natural wonders, practice mindfulness in green spaces and recharge with outdoor activities.

Let's welcome 2025 with renewed energy, a deeper connection to nature, and excitement for the growth and adventures that await us!

Merry Christmas 🎄

We are on a mission this May! 🏃‍♀️

Shannon is lacing up her running shoes and hitting the pavement for a great cause - raising awareness for Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1).

NF1 affects thousands of people worldwide, yet awareness about this condition is still limited. That's why Shannon has taken on the 150km NF challenge this month, spreading awareness every step of the way.

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 is a genetic disorder that causes tumours to grow on any nerve ending, leading to various complications. By raising awareness and funds, Shannon hopes to support those living with NF1 and contribute to research for better treatments and a cure.

If you'd like to learn more about NF1 or support Shannon's journey, check out the link below. Together, we can make a difference! 💪

🌿📵 Disconnect to Reconnect: Embrace Nature for a Better Life and Stronger Relationships! 🌼💚

In a world consumed by screens and constant connectivity, it's essential to carve out time for nature and meaningful connections. 🌳✨ Let's break free from our devices, step into the great outdoors, and experience the transformative power of nature together! 🌻🌍

🌈 Here are some simple steps to embark on your digital detox adventure:

1️⃣ Leave the Gadgets Behind: Switch off those screens and leave them at home! Embrace the freedom of being present in nature without distractions. Feel the gentle breeze, listen to the melodies of birds, and soak in the beauty surrounding you. Nature has a way of grounding us and bringing clarity to our lives.

2️⃣ Find Your Nature Haven: Discover nearby parks, lakes, or mountains that call to your soul. Seek out places that inspire you and make you feel alive. Whether it's a hidden trail, a peaceful beach, or a sprawling meadow, connect with nature's wonders and let them rejuvenate your spirit.

3️⃣ Engage Your Senses: As you venture into nature, engage your senses fully. Breathe in the fresh air, revel in the vibrant colours, and absorb the natural scents around you. Listen to the symphony of nature's sounds, whether it's the rustling leaves or the gentle babble of a stream. By tuning in to our senses, we can fully experience the beauty of the natural world.

4️⃣ Invite Loved Ones: Share the magic of nature with your loved ones. Encourage family and friends to join you on this digital detox journey. Plan a hike, a camping trip, or a picnic in the park. Strengthen your relationships by engaging in meaningful conversations and creating memories together. Nature provides the perfect backdrop for connection and bonding.

🌟 Remember, a life lived in harmony with nature and free from screen time can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced existence. Let's reclaim our time, disconnect from devices, and reconnect with the world around us to nurture our well-being and build stronger relationships. 🌿💚
