Refreshed

Hard to believe less than two weeks have passed since the first ever Women’s Wellness Weekend. It feels like so much growth and progress has happened since then. Isn’t it funny, you think slowing down and taking time out to refresh may set you back – but in actual fact the opposite happens, you have more energy and motivation to move forward faster and more efficiently than before! It’s all about…

SUP Yoga

Summer is on its way for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere, and we know what that means… time to hit the beach!! What better way to combine daily summer activities of yoga, swimming and sun baking than stand up paddle board yoga?!

Even the seagulls are interested in SUP Yoga at Tata Beach, Golden Bay

Stand up paddle (SUP) boarding has taken the world by storm as the latest ‘trendy’ water…

Extending Daylight

Happy daylight savings!! I don’t know about you but boy does this make me happy… Why?

The last few months have been rough, and I’ve allowed it to get me down. Early dark cold starts to the day followed by a lengthy commute and 9 hours in an office chair. Upon leaving work, driving in traffic for an hour before returning home to do the chores and repeat!  (Reminding me of a brilliant quote by…

Words

People turn to you because you give voice to dreams, notice little things and make otherwise imaginings appear real.

You are a rare bird, who thinks the world is beautiful enough to try to figure it out, who has the courage to dive into your wild mind and go swimming there.

Word do more than plant miracle seeds, they can change the world.

The Evergreen Evolution

It began with a dream, and then a vision and eventually a knowing that this is what I am to do. It is my mission and I gladly accept! Slowly but surely the ideas kept growing inside of me, urging me to take action. So I did. The yoga training was the first step. Through yoga and meditation I was able to navigate the path of life- once discovering the tools to help me on my way I couldn’t keep the…

Coast to Coast Milestones

From Coast to Crash in 2014 to Coast to Coast in 2015 I have one very dedicated and committed father who, once he sets his mind to something will stop at nothing to achieve it! Like father like daughter I guess… This time I tell not my tale but the story of the journey my Dad has been on surrounding the infamous annual Coast to Coast adventure race. This is an inspirational transformation which…

Adelaide

So what’s South Australia got to offer apart from fine wines and great white sharks? Well, plenty actually! Rad-elaide, as it is humorously called by locals is the real down under experience on the Southern most coast of Australia. The city is designed in grid formation and surrounded by a ridge of rolling hills, very similar to Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand. The River Torrens…

End Violence Against Women

End Violence Against Women

Last year during my time volunteering at the Cambodian Center of Independent Media I had the opportunity to interview Wenny Kusuma the Director of the United Nations Women’s Organization. This happened to be during the 16 day, world-wide end violence against women campaign.  Wendy and her 25 staff in Phnom Penh are champions for the cause of ending violence against females and the campaign is…

Slow down, Fast.

Juice Fasting

Last year I went to a health seminar in Perth with an American Cowboy named Don Tolman. Don, is a wholefoods advocate who has dedicated his life towards discovering ancient secrets of health and healing. Letting food be thy medicine as opposed to the nasty chemicals which pharmaceutical industries manufacture. The difference being, food is grown in the earth and is a natural occurring process…

Rising to Rinjani

I woke at 4.30am to the near full moon shining across the ocean on Lombok’s West Coast. It was a two-hour journey to the base of Mount Rinjani, in the small jungle village of Senaru and as the sun rose I caught my first glimpse of the mighty peaks I was determined to climb. Thinking proudly to myself, this time tomorrow that’s where I’ll be!

This unwavering optimism is what got me through the…

Lombok- Tales of Island Adventures

Lombok

Lombok, the less celebrated Indonesian Island is so close to Bali yet often overshadowed by its popular counterpart. Well have I got news for you… Lombok is how one might imagine Bali 30 odd years prior. Think empty beaches, delicious traditional cuisine, friendly locals, peace and quiet, now that’s what I’m talking about! Suffice to say, the humble island of Lombok gets no where near the credit…
