A sit spot is simple, but it’s also powerful.
I have a spot on the hill near our home — both my fella and I enjoy sitting there.
I sit quietly and notice all that is happening around me.
The more I have visited, the more I’ve gotten to know the place.
It helps me feel more grounded, present and deeply connected to where I live.
Do you have a sit spot?

This creek looked frozen, but it wasn’t.
It’s a good reminder that not all progress is visible.
Beneath the ice the water was still moving and finding its way.
The things that matter most are often happening below the surface, long before we notice them 🌿

This morning’s nature therapy walk at Mulligans Flat was such a reminder that slowing down can change what we notice.

- tiny moss
- textures under our feet
- patterns in the clouds
- the sun and breeze on our skin
- changing bird calls

But it isn’t just noticing more in nature—it’s also feeling calmer, clearer and more connected by the time we head home.
I love what I do 🌿

Have you ever heard the term ‘deep birding’ or ‘patch birding’?
This great little podcast is not simply about birds.
It is about learning to see.
To notice.
To listen.
And why observation, curiosity and wonder may be some of the most valuable skills of modern life 🌿

Meaningful growth begins long before it can be seen - that’s been the takeaway from my sit spot practice over the Winter.

Some lessons can only be learned by returning to the same place again and again — whether it's a place in nature or a place in life.

My first steps, literally, on a new adventure.
Last weekend I completed my field training to take on the role of Assistant Trip Leader with Operation Flinders.
Time on the trail has given me some of my most life changing moments - very often at challenging times in my life - moments of clarity, connection, confidence and self awareness.
I’m looking forward to walking alongside a group of young people and helping them find those kinds of moments for themselves 🌿
