“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation” Paul Theroux
Spring is certainly in the air and don’t you just love it!!? The sap is rising and there is a new energy around and its contagious!
I never tire of seeing the Mud Maiden at The Lost Gardens of Heligan. She is so peacefully and beautifully at rest. Seeing this today reminded me of how we have all been over the past few months: hibernating …. turning our focus inwards, processing, resting, restoring, conserving, and, above all, recovering….. but most importantly, resting and preparing ourselves for what is to come …. And whilst the beautifully brighter skies, the snowdrops showing their pretty little heads, blossom waiting to burst and the new warmth in the sun are heralding the arrival of the next season, the below picture says it all for me… My little ginger boy has started to venture outside, finding the warmest, most sheltered spot in the garden and basking with his face turned to the sun!! We can learn so much from the natural world. It follows and changes with the seasons…. quietly and with acceptance.
“Turn your face to the sun, and the shadows will fall behind you!”
So our next (and final in Winchester) Half Term of classes starts again next week and I am so looking forward to helping you to raise the sap in your beautiful bodies and bring new life and energy into your world, using the natural power of our breath and body. Do join me either in person or online …and remember on 22nd March, it is nowhere near the end, but the opportunity of a new beginning ….
But more about that later….
