This month’s blog is focused on my new interview series ‘Reconnect: Energy & Spirit’. It’s also about my new Facebook Challenge which launches 7th September – just scroll down for more news about that.
Recently I have been linking children with nature for educational purposes. One of the things I have rediscovered is that children love to be able to play outdoors. It’s as though they were made for it. At first, there’s a fear of being out and about in a wide-open space. But as soon as you offer them a ‘way in’ to experience nature – perhaps by connecting them with a flower, an insect or a plant, they thrive.
Very soon, a crying child turns into a happy connector with nature and with others. There’s so much to excite their curiosity – whether it is a bee, a flower or a snail! Once they find their joy in nature they start to notice other people. I’m afraid to say, whenever a child offers me a flower quite spontaneously, I get goosebumps.
And talking of reconnection, I have just launched my first interview series. The series is about how every aspect of our lives can be enhanced by connecting to the superpower we all have inside so we can retell the stories of our lives and get off the repeat loop.
My first interview is with Christel Trøstrup, a psychotherapist whose project Narrative Walking helps people reconnect in nature after an illness. Sensing new colours, sounds and impressions are crucial for starting a new self-dialogue, she says: ‘It is the combination of being in nature and being with yourself that connects walking with talking.’
My second interview is with Roisin Reilly, the Urban Herbalist and medicine tutor who practices Living Medicine. Relearning the wisdom about plants we see every day, can help us regain a sense of how to heal. So many herbs have dual or triple beneficial uses but we grow up with taboos about the ‘safety’ of plants. This blocks our exploration of their stories of healing.
And now to my new Facebook Challenge: Communicate Your Story in 90 Days which kicks off with a Part One 30-Day taster challenge on 7th September. I’ve included a link to a 3-minute introductory video with all the details! The Challenge includes:
1. Access to a closed, private Facebook group.
2. Tasks set each day which build toward you manifesting your vision.
3. Five live one-hour coaching calls – one per week.
4. Part One of the Facebook Challenge is completely free, except for my time on the coaching calls at just £9.80 per call.
