Apologies for not making it to the morning virtual coffee today! Did anybody else meet up? I had to get up at 3:30 am to drive my son to the next town to meet a carpool, they are going to Uluru for a school excursion! When I got back at 4:30 I couldn't sleep until about 630, and then I didn't wake up until 930 so whoops! I hope you are enjoying this beautiful spring day, or autumn day for those of you in the northern hemisphere! Here's a picture of spring in my garden at the moment. What does yours look like?

Hi everyone - welcome to the weekend! For those enrolled in the qigong course, Week 2's session is now available in the Classroom. For those who aren't sure about what qigong is, here is a 6 minute excerpt from today's session you can try. The movement is called lowering the qi (chi, energy) and helps to cleanse the internal organs. If you enjoy it and would like to try more, you can still join the course in the Classroom and access the first two recordings, plus the remaining four classes to come. The classes are on Friday mornings at 9am if you want to join live. The next online drumming circle is also coming up next Sunday 25th, so if you'd like to sign up just head to the Classroom page and click on the Full Moon drumming page. The New Moon circle was a powerful intention setting experience, and in the Full Moon circle we will focus on gratitude for all that we have in ourselves, our communities and our world. Remember you don't need a drum to participate. For locals to the Yass-Canberra-Goulburn area, I'm also holding a mindful doodling/watercolour session in Gundaroo on the 31 October. If you think you can't draw or meditate, then this is perfect for you. And if you can draw or meditate, then it will also be perfect, and be a departure from your usual experience! Head to Mindful Drawing & Watercolour Workshop at Daphne & May - Daphne & May for more info. Hope you enjoy your weekend, Kath x

Hi @Serena Scarlett welcome to the community. Nice to reconnect with you! Take a look around and ask if you have any questions! Look forward to seeing you in the Full Moon drumming circle ☺️

Thank you so, so much to the six beautiful souls who joined me last night for our first New Moon drumming circle. Wow, I was blown away by the insights and the power of our drumming and singing. Together we wove intentions for ourselves, our community and the world. We drummed for ourselves, to call in freedom, calm and simplicity, including the freedom to make the choice to take that deep breath when we really need it, to invite calm into our lives. We drummed for healing for the women in our communities who have been screwed over by the patriarchal medical system, ignored and shamed and mistreated, for the healing of the female psyche. (Boy, did that one bring out some anger!) And we drummed for peace across the world, recognising our fellow humanity, and that we are all part of the whole and not separate, and that we all have enough of what we need. The next drumming circle will be on the Full Moon, 25 October. Head to the Classroom to sign up if you want to join in next time - and remmbemer you don't even need a drum to participate and enjoy. 💕 (ps @Imogen Ingram @Eli Haski @Heather Richmond @Kirstie Chalker @Angelika Erpic @Sue Mackenzie , your recording is available in the Classroom where you joined the drumming session.)

A big warm welcome to our newest members @Cathy Yorg-harrison and @Inkeri Medley ! Thanks for being here and we look forward to getting to know you 😊
