I find birdsong really calming, especially first thing in the morning 🐦

It turns out there’s a reason for that. Your brain reads it as a sign that things are okay.

You don’t need to go anywhere special. Even opening your window and listening can help.

For most of us - and especially for parents and carers of children with additional needs - finding time for our own wellbeing can feel impossible.

But it’s so very important to make sure that your own needs are met. There are so many sayings that illustrate this: you can’t pour from an empty jug, put your own oxygen mask on first - and I’m sure you can add more. It’s really hard - maybe even impossible - to co-regulate with a child if you aren’t regulated yourself.

If this describes you, our free, The National Lottery Community Fund sponsored woodland wellbeing sessions at Woodville Community in Keighley are just for you. Come and join us for a campfire snack, a natter, a moment in the hammock, or just for the chance to breathe. We’d love to see you 💚

(And if it describes someone you know, please forward this to them - it’s a little thing that could make a really big difference).

Calming your brain with nature isn’t all about the big moments - the perfect views, the long hikes, the expensive holidays.

The most important moments are the little things that you can do every day. Standing on your doorstep, opening the window to listen to the birds, feeling the breeze on your face and breathing.

What tiny wild moment have you had today? And how did it make you feel?

I always feel a bit better around trees and plants, and it turns out there’s an actual reason for that.

You don’t need anything fancy - a garden, a tree, or even just a houseplant.

Tiny Wild Moments.

I’m really looking forward to delivering these wellbeing walks for Autism Arena in May and June.

They’re going to be gentle, slow paced rambles with lots of pauses to explore nature along the way.

They’re based in Leeds parks, so they’ll be easily accessible by public transport (we’re choosing the exact locations very soon).

Booking info is on the image - if it’s something you think you’d enjoy, I’d love to see you there 💚

This evening, 2nd April, as the sun sets, the Libra full moon will rise.

This particular moon has a few names: the budding moon, the seed moon, the pink moon (named after wild ground phlox which are currently blooming in North America), and the Paschal moon (it helps set the date for Easter).

Libra is traditionally the sign of balance (the scales), so this moon could be seen as a sign to think about our own equilibrium. Who we have been, and who we’re becoming.

It might even be the moment to notice what’s weighing us down, and what we’re ready to release.

A quick look at the weather apps has told me that, as usual, I’ll probably be imagining the moon behind a blanket of cloud.

But whether I can see it or not, I do enjoy that small pause each month.

Images show various different buds. Because, you know, moon, clouds, phone camera…..

Spring has arrived at our Monday woodland wellbeing sessions 🌿

Free, ND-friendly sessions for autistic/ADHD adults and parents/carers of SEND children.

We gather in the forest garden, notice what’s changed, do simple nature-based activities, and let our nervous systems settle.

Next session: Monday 30th March, 10-12pm at Woodville Community.

Funded by The National Lottery Community Fund 💚

A little snippet of this morning’s Calm in the Wild session at Woodville.

We celebrated the equinox by dying eggs using onion skins, and by cooking wild garlic flatbreads over the campfire 🥚🌿

Sessions for parents, carers and neurodivergent adults run every Monday morning, 10-12.

Come and join us if you need a moment away from it all - booking link in the comments 🔗

Spring equinox. Equal day and night.

I’m standing at this threshold asking: what am I leaving behind as winter ends? What am I welcoming as spring begins?

One question. But it feels like the right one for today 🌿
