NEW YEAR REFLECTIONS

I have taken some time to rest and reflect as 2022 came to a close and the opportunity for renewal began in these first weeks of 2023. I found myself reconnecting with what led me to write Go Gently and start this online community. I wrote my book as I wanted to share my journey to being more in touch with my impact and relationship to Earth, something as living as I. The intimate practices I was implementing at home to have a more positive effect on the planet were both a resistance to societal norms of being busy and consuming and also a celebration of what was practically possible.

The practical recipes and projects I share in my book and in this community are intended to be not just information but also opportunities to physically participate in the spectrum of our skills and emotions as humans. By showing up to these ideas, implementing them, listening and learning from others we are able to experience first hand the power of our actions.

Moving forward, Go Gently will continue to be just that, a space that shares tangible activities that strengthen our connection to our humanism and to other living things around us. That celebrated all the curious and wonderful ways we can lean on our skills and emotions as human beings as a positive tool to steward and celebrate our relationship with Mother Earth I hope these practices can both soothe and nourish you and be an opportunity for freedom. A coming home to our species so that we remember just how great and capable we are.
