🍂 Autumn has arrived on our Isles and the colour palette and temperature of the natural world has shifted. The greens that sprang back at the end of the heatwave have turned to golds, coppers and browns.

To keep you well this season, we've gathered a feast of autumnal goodies to sustain you through the next month. We've included an invitation to lunch with a wellbeing changemaker, an article unpacking the healing and transformational powers of reading, some ways we can help the natural world this season (including making pumpkin bird feeders), an article on how art can help us imagine a liberating and joyful, community determined economics and a whole hamper full of wellbeing events, resources and opportunities!

Join Georgie Gilmore on Tuesday 27th October from 6:30-7:30pm, to journey deeper into the dark half of the year, nurturing our relationship with Nature, ourselves and the dark.

As the leaves continue to fall from the trees, we will enter and embrace the liminal space between what was and what will be. True to the age-old traditions of Samhain, we will honour our lineages and ancestors, known and unknown, before turning to honour what will be by tending to the Earth for the ones yet to come.
