Over the last few days I’ve been moving through grief — not in a straight line, but in waves. I’ve been recording the audio for Permaculture Practice 2, which explores patterns and energy cycles, and I’ve been struck by how grounding it is to recognise this as a normal rhythm rather than something to resist or fix. Energy rises, falls, pauses, returns. The sea reminds me of that — waves arriving, breaking, retreating — each one different, none wrong. This is why I value pattern literacy so deeply. Not as theory, but as something that helps us live more gently with what is.

A safe place to discuss and share ideas around mental health and wellbeing...meditations, forest bathing, aromatherapy.
