Here are my words to welcome my guests to this weeksβ meet, which was just phenomenal for a day of connection at .cambridge. πΏ I wanted to read them a letter, sharing my seasonal thoughts... itβs also my little ode to who has unlocked the spirit of a storyteller in me. π
Look around you for a second. Itβs late October. How?! The light is softer, the leaves are mostly down, and everythingβs starting to look a little bit bare. Autumn does this -Β it takes things away. And yet itβs not a sad season, is it? Itβs just the one where things get stripped back so something magical can happen underneath. ππ
I think thatβs a fair picture of how this time of year can feel for many of us. The clocks have gone back, the days are much shorter, and things that felt manageable in the summer months can start to feel a little heavier now. Thatβs not you failing. Thatβs the season. And itβs worth saying out loud, because most of us quietly assume we should be coping better than we are.
So today, thereβs no laptop in front of you. And thatβs deliberate. This isnβt a day off β itβs much more important than that. Today weβre taking care of the thing that does the work. You.Β π«
Hereβs what weβre going to do. Weβre going to walk, barefoot, and pay attention to the ground underneath us. Weβre going to get some style advice from Suzy at β because how we feel about ourselves matters and she will make us all feel incredible. π«Ά
Weβll chat, laugh & nourish. And weβll finish with an hour or so of making something with our hands. π₯
Some things I want you to know before we start:
You donβt have to perform today.
You donβt have to be good at the crafts.
You donβt have to create content.
This afternoon youβll make something for you or for somebody else who needs it more. But most importantly these next few hours are simply for you... to reconnect; with nature, with each other and with yourselves. π±
I am thrilled you are here.Β So, letβs beginβ¦
