One of the concerns that you may have about embarking on a new way of living, and one that is more authentic for you, is that this will affect the relationships you have with your friends, partner, spouse, children and others in your immediate family. If you find yourself in this situation, then coaching can [...]

Sally — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:10:48 +0000

What constitutes home for you and where or what do you regard as home? One of the more challenging practical tasks that I’ve had to face on my downshifting journey is selling or giving away treasured pieces of furniture. At one time they held immense sentimental value for me and represented many years of [...]

Love is…

“Be true to Love. Do not betray Her. Then, on the day that the forest of the mind bursts into flames, you will not run. You will remain silent and still; for this is when Love bears Her sweetest fruit: untouched Presence.” -Mooji Some questions on love to ponder over the weekend… What does [...]

What Can Nature Teach Us About Communication?

Sally — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:21:13 +0000

“When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But [...]

Dancing a Pathway to Freedom

Sally — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:00:52 +0000

Fiona was very clearly a dancer, or so I assumed watching her elegant figure enter the room. Her poise spoke of her obvious confidence in her movement and her natural comfort at inhabiting her body. Later on in the meeting, we were introduced to each other and I was shocked to hear that she was [...]

Collecting …sorting…. Next season’s herbs and vegetables latent, expectant in my hands, And in my imagination. Planning, researching new ideas, Then watching… What’s changing? What’s evolving? What’s new? So much to consider: Conditions, timing, nurturing - all important. Then surrendering to nature’s flow… Following these tiny power- packs Of goodness and intelligence Yielding to their [...]

New Year Revolution

Sally — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 14:29:08 +0000

Revolution – a turning or momentous change. Resolution – a commitment, promise or end point. The problem with a conventional approach to New Year’s resolutions, I’ve found, is that when we examine them closely, they are often superficial changes in behaviour which turn out not to be sustainable i.e. we don’t stick to them!

Growthbusters: The Movie

Sally — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 15:56:01 +0000

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9FPNVFdiRs The whole idea that happiness and prosperity might be possible (or even, dare I say it, more easily achievable) with an ‘enough is enough’ subsistence approach to life comes as a complete revelation to many. This seems to be one of the main reasons, in my experience, that just a minority of pioneers have [...]
