July is here and we hope you’ve been finding gentle ways to move through the heat of mid-summer.
It can feel intense at this mid-point in the seasonal cycle because the sun is at its peak with the longest days, shortest nights and the land holding accumulated warmth. The eco-system is in full motion as the solar energy gives its all to the plants, animals and to us!
Many traditions view this time as a moment of fullness and vitality, a period when growth and outward energy reach their maximum before the gradual turning toward later summer and then autumn begins.
In this spirit of energy and abundance we have launched our Children’s Forest Crowdfunder! Please read on to find out how you can support this fantastic project whilst receiving a gift in reciprocity….
