Day 7 - embrace a sunrise awakening​

​

Join us for 12 days of immersive and exploratory inspiration for reconnecting ourselves respectfully with the natural world and each other.

​​​

Experience the calming, rejuvenating and healing power of being in the present moment surrounded by nature, mindfully aware of yourselves and the world around you, synching back with your natural rhythms, cycles and flow!​

​

Not only is this experience highly emotive and awe inspiring, at a biological level you are synching yourself with nature's rhythms, cycles and flow - realigning your circadian clocks and all body systems to their natural state (including attention restoration and mental clarity), providing health benefits for your whole being, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

 

Activity

 

Pack a breakfast picnic, embrace an early morning wake up call and venture outdoors for a sunrise awakening. Engage each of your senses as the new day dawns, bringing you into this present moment;

​

• bare your feet to the morning earth - feel into the sensations. How does your body, mind and soul respond?

• not what you can see around you - animals, insects, flower, trees, reflections, shadows, colours, textures

• close your eyes, what can you hear, feel, smell and taste? Enjoy the morning bird chorus as they awaken with you

• engage your childlike wonder, lean into the beauty of this experience - notice how your whole being responds to changing hues of colour and light - allow the morning light to reset your natural rhythms and cycles

• close your eyes - see the colours and patterns through your eyelids, feel into the sun's warmth on your face

• share your picnic with a heart full of gratitude and loving kindness - you've been gifted life to enjoy this glorious day! Your body is truly amazing - a sensory wonderland when we slow down and tune in!

​

Reconnecting ourselves regularly with the natural world has profound health & wellbeing benefits for our whole body; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

​

Respectful play

​

A loving reminder to enjoy our natural world with a deep sense of reverence/respect;​

• leave no trace (take rubbish away with you)

• be mindful of plants and animals when leaving a trail to explore

• leave chemicals/pollutants out of waterways and the environment

• we share the environment with other living beings to whom it is home, both plant and animal. If collecting natural materials or treasures, do so from the ground and not removed from a living plant - mindful of animals that use the material as shelter
