Kia ora whānau (hello family)🌿 I hope you’ve all had a nourishing festive season filled with rest, connection, and summer sunshine (for those of you in the Southern Hempisphere). 🥳☀️🌟 I’ve just come back from a beautiful three weeks (mostly) off my computer, soaking up time with family and friends who came to stay with us, along with many lovely day visitors. It’s been a season of shared meals, fire-side conversations, river swims, snorkeling, bush adventures and connecting back into land and life for everyone staying here. With my ankle rehabilitation making good progress, I did manage to get into the trees a couple of times — which was absolute medicine for my soul. While I’m still limited in where I can access, I’ve been getting a little more adventurous every day, and it’s been such a powerful reminder to slow down, listen to my body, and let nature set the pace. I know it’s been a little quiet in here lately. That hasn’t gone unnoticed — and it hasn’t been forgotten. I’ve been in a planning and listening phase, feeling into how to bring more energy, rhythm, and meaning into this space in a way that truly supports our shared vision. With the planting season only a couple of months away, things are starting to stir again, I’m excited about what’s forming and looking forward to reconnecting, sharing more regularly, and growing this community alongside the trees. Thank you for being here — let’s do this. 🌳✨ 👉 I would love to know what you are growing in life this year if you feel to share in the comments.
