Hello lovely WBOP members. Well, it seems winter is knocking at our door! But what about those beautiful autumn colours on the leaves?

I just love going for a short walk this time of year, just to see this amazing change of season in nature. It’s so good to connect with what is really going on in our local environment.

Thank you to all those who have posted comments on the weekly breathing practices. It’s nice to hear some feedback, as it gets a little lonely talking to the empty space of my computer. I have done a series of different breathing practices over the last couple of months and will now concentrate on just having breathing sessions together and not recording them. Also, I may start to do some guided visualisations/relaxation sessions soon, which I will record.

I will start attending the Papamoa coffee group sessions, so look forward to catching up face-to-face with my lovely members over that way. Karen has sadly left us, but we will soon have another person to take over the National members. We are nearly there with the Towards Wellness Program Hub online. We spent two full days of recording at a studio, so hopefully not too long now. It seems that it has been ages in the making, and thanks for your patience. Stay warm and take this changing of the seasons to really begin to restore and rest.
