Happy Friday!

"The natural world is not separate from us, it is part of us. It is as much a part of us as our capacity for language; we are bonded to it... The union can be found, the union of ourselves and nature, in the joy which nature can spark and fire in us.”

Nature and the Serious Business of Joy “There can be occasions when we suddenly and involuntarily find ourselves loving the natural world with a startling intensity, in a burst of emotion which we may not fully understand, and the…

Get outside!

Writing Prescriptions to Play Outdoors Advantages for children include being physically active, spending time in nature and getting away from screens. And fun.

How sweet!

Shouting out to all the Mothers and Fathers who are busy, hardworking, and constantly striving to be the best role models for their kids...

Dear Busy Parent,

Wow, you are incredible! How do you do it all?

I can only imagine how tough it can be, and how if I were you I would feel a bit exhausted, and like I don’t have enough time to play with my kids the way I would like. 🌳

Guess what?

I have some great news!!

If you spend some time with nature and trees like me, you can help to recharge your energy body, and have soooo much more energy to play with. 🌳

You have an energetic body and it recharges from the earth. The more time you spend with nature, the less coffee you will need. 🌳

You can recharge your soul and energy levels by earthing. It's exactly like how you plug your phone to its charger. This helps you to plug and recharge you.

It's available to everyone and best of all it's free, you can even do it today..just follow these simple steps.

Take off your shoes and socks
Walk through nature
Be present in the moment
Take a few deep breaths in and out
Find a tree that calls out to you
Put your hand on the tree
Even better still give the tree a big hug

The energy from the earth goes into your soul and fills you up, and you can do this with your kids to help them recharge too. 🌳

When your energy body is fully charged you are at your best, you are calm, patient, loving and you have the energy to cook the best healthy meals that give you and your kids even more energy. 🌳

Most of all, you live in the moment and the time you spend with your children is of higher quality, that even ten minutes feels like an hour. 🌳

So I invite you to come recharge now. Take your socks and shoes off and walk bare foot in nature, and if you see a tree give it a big hug for me. 🌳

Let nature recharge you and live your best life!

Love, The Tree That Talks 🌳

The Surprising Benefits of Teaching a Class Outside A new study finds that a class in nature helps kids be more attentive and focused once they return indoors.

We're experiencing a cool change in the weather here in many parts of Australia. This is after an unseasonably warm start to Autumn.

Now some of us might use this fresh change as an excuse to stay indoors and start streaming, but getting outside is just as wonderful in the cooler months as it is on sunnier days.

My evening walk yesterday and this mornings walk left me feeling invigorated. So grab your beanie, scarf and jacket and get out there!

For those living in places where it's starting to warm up, don't forget your hat as your walk out the door.

Enjoy a NatureLuster weekend and reap the benefits

Get outside. You can reap the benefits in less time than you think The benefits extend beyond fitness and fresh air.

Don't forget to make time for a green boost this weekend

Seeking more energy, less stress? It's a walk in the park With humans becoming more divorced from nature, particularly with our addiction to screen technologies, there may be a long-term cost to our mental health.

Make time during your busy day for nature. Get outside. Breathe in that fresh air. Feel the sun on your face. What a gift
