Beautiful Lauren! I adore bluebells, and they transport me into a magical world of possibilities. So nice to see more people putting down work for school holidays, it's something I've been trying to practice for a few years, and it's so needed isn't it. When we pour so much of ourselves into our businesses and creative work, the space and pause is necessary. 💜🌿

Absolutely! I actually really love the idea of taking the holidays as intentional breaks, otherwise it just feels like there is never a chance to pause and integrate or create space for newness!! I walked today and thought of you as our woodland is like a medicine cabinet right now… nettles and wild garlic and cleavers in abundance!! Xx

Ah that is so lovely ☺️😍 I love this time of year for foraging and being excited by greeting each new plant. I took my boys away for a week to family in Somerset and then Lincolnshire and it felt so good to really give myself permission to not look at emails, not create, not hold dates in my head! It is a practice though as a few times I found myself wanting to reach for it. Got to flex that rest muscle ☺️

Gorgeous! How I miss the bluebells in the UK! Portugal has a Spanish pest flower that’s similar but not nearly as magical. Literal fairies in the woods. Also what a magic holidays, lucky girls having a mama like you beauty

So magical, I find the bluebell endlessly inspiring and it will be a flower that forever reminds me of you, and of our special gathering! I can't wait to do the nidra again, I found it so moving when I heard it first xx
