Brb, just crying by the pool with my spanakopita...

Today we arrived at the retreat villa for a couple of days rest before our guests arrive. Usually we don't have this luxury and the first day is a bit of a rush: setting up the rooms, doing the "big shop" for groceries and generally getting in the zone. This year we decided to take it σιγά σιγά - slowly slowly - and have some time to ourselves at the villa first (I've been on the island for a week already but we stay at a lovely little apartment in town and I've been working).
As is often the case, when you make time to slow down, emotions are free to come to the surface. Wandering around this villa that's come to feel like home and taking in the beauty of it, the emotion bubbled up and out like champagne at a celebration. Tears rolled down my sun warmed cheeks as I allowed myself to take it all in. I tend to feel things deeply, which can make life intense at times but it's a blessing in these moments of joy and gratitude.

There's always an element of luck in all we do. But there's also a lot of effort, intention and action that's brought me here.

Let this be a reminder to continue to seek out anything that makes your heart burst with joy. To keep turning towards that which makes you feel most alive.

Pinecone collecting in Mandraki forest, Skiathos with my beautiful, international group of forest bathers. Such a joy to share some gentle, playful and relaxing practices with them today.

One of the many reasons we chose Skiathos for our retreat, and why we fell in love with it in the first place, is how lush and green it is. It's only a small island but there is so much to see for nature lovers, this is just a small snapshot from my walk today. I wish you could smell these photos!
I also saw pheasants, little silver fish, butterflies and bees.

I'm working from my little rented apartment here for a week, before a few days off and then our retreat guests arrive. Feeling so grateful and content. Thank you Greece, I love you 💚

Therapy. Because survival is insufficient.

Posting this from the airport, on my way to live my best life working and resting in Greece for 3 weeks. When I talk about finding your joy, living with purpose and creating meaning please know I'm not just talking about abstract concepts but the way I actually live my life.

Snuck in a bonus quote too at the end! Brownie points if you know who said it.

Have you read Station Eleven? The author is coming to Manchester lit fest and I will be fan girling hard!
Or maybe you know that Star Trek episode and how it hits you in the feels in just the right way.

🍂 Autumn events schedule 🍂

This is my busiest season, with a wide range of events: free community sessions, a Greek retreat, climate action, a local mini retreat and a variety of ways to connect to nature, community and yourself.

All these events are created with love, integrity and a deep desire to share the knowledge and practices that keep me well and (relatively!) sane.

If you have any questions please get in touch - email is best [email protected] or comment here.

I have little to no marketing budget so please help memoir by sharing this post with your family and friends, thank you!

I hope to see you soon 💚

🎒🌳 what's in my forest therapy bag? Come take a look!

There are two options for 1-2-1 sessions:

🌳 Forest therapy - also called 'walk and talk'. This combines traditional talking therapy with nature connection. It's ideal for clients transitioning into less frequent sessions, those who don't want to be inside or people who want to benefit from the healing benefits of being in nature.

🌲 Forest bathing - a nature immersion experience using the senses to be present and deeply connected to the environment. Excellent for nervous system regulation, improving focus/attention, reducing stress and improving overall wellbeing.

Both session types include mindful tea and a snack to finish the session.

October is nearly full - email hello@natalierossiterwellbeing to enquire.
