Tradition tells us it is time for New Year’s resolutions and for starting new projects. And it is for those in the northern hemisphere. For them, the new solar year began in late December at the Winter Solstice and it makes sense to set intentions as day length begins to grow.

But for us, here in the southern hemisphere, day length is decreasing. We are tilting away from the sun towards the dark.  

If you want to make your life easier by riding in the wake of Mother Nature’s seasonal energies—now is the time to turn inwards. It is time to pause, reflect and reevaluate. And this is exactly what we will do with the help of Mother Nature at the next ITO gathering.

The cost is $80 including lunch and morning and afternoon tea.

Can’t make this one? Registration for subsequent retreats is open.

My friend Sahara Contempree is hosting a Celebration Day for Girls in Newcastle in March.

This worthwhile workshop for girls and their mother (or female carer) is designed to inspire curiosity, wonder and appreciation of the changes of puberty and the onset of menstruation.

With the intention to overturn secrecy and embarrassment, Celebration Day for Girls nurtures connection, normalisation and openness through practical and positive information, stories and fun activities.

You can express interest in attending the Newcastle workshop with Sahara by contacting her via email saharas2001@hotmail.com or mobile 0423260482. 

Liv and I will be there. I am really looking forward to the day and am pleased the program is now available in Newcastle.
