♻ What I Found - Part 2: It is hard to describe the excitement I feel when a tiny fleck of green or blue or some other colour reveals micro plastic treasure. It's like gold to me, I dive down to collect it before anyone else can (even though there's rarely anyone around). I dust it off, gently. All it's time out at sea and in the sun makes it brittle so I treat it carefully. . . . . . . #meditation #walkingmeditation #found #repurposed #trashtotreasure #grateful #guvvossurfbeach #anglesea #greatoceanroad #microplastics #plastichunter #reuse #discovered #sandy #gold #searching #process #artist #weaver #beachcomber #beachwalks #soundoftheocean #sootheme #tinytreasure #mystory #thisiswhatidoforfun (at Anglesea, Victoria)

What I Found - Part 1: The ocean holds so many gifts and so many mysteries. I comb my local beaches searching for little gifts. Some gifts are shells or feathers. Other gifts are mostly seen as plague. Trash. Micro plastics. Chewed up and spat out. This is my domain. I love to find these tiny treasures, I imagine their journey and from how far they might have traveled. What was their original purpose? Now they are repurposed. I weave them into new creations. ♻ . . . . . . . . . . #meditation #walkingmeditation #found #repurposed #trashtotreasure #grateful #littlethings #tinysculpture #mycreations #process #artisticendeavours #searching #microplastics #oceans #newhome #discovery #uncovered #beachcomber #plastichunter #artist #weaver (at Anglesea, Great Ocean Road.)

⚠WARNING⚠ pictures of extreme hair style changes ahead! 😂🤣 On reflection, I'm always amazed by how much stuff I've done and the incredible experiences I've had. And I think I'm a pretty lucky person. Cutting off my hair, putting it in a post bag addressed to Wigs for Kids. I never imagined that one day I'd mail a package of my own hair. Raising funds, having an awesome support crew who cut my hair and donated to my cause! I'm a very lucky person. 💜💛💙 . . .

⏳PROCESS! My tiny hand woven creations. . . Made from beach rope, found on Surf Coast beaches.⛱ . . 🐙Woven into sculptures reminiscent of sea creatures (anemones). . . These creations tie some of my most favorite pastimes together. 1. Beach walks 2. Beach combing 3. Creating 4. Meditating . . I am a hoarder of found stuff. Making these tiny sculptures has helped me repurpose some of this 'stuff'. This 'stuff' on our coastline is generally known as 'trash'. But when I pick it up it transforms, in my mind then in my hands, to some small thing of beauty. I love that, finding something fresh in what has been discarded. Beauty in waste. 💙 💙 💙 . . . . . . . #trashtotreasure #sustainablelifestyle #beauty #somethingfromnothing #stuff #gratitude #beachcomber #searching #nylonropesculptures #miniatureart #wovensculptures #greatoceanroad #victoria #love #repurpose #fresheyes #transformation #meditation #creation #hoarder #artist #seaanemone #iseeseashellsontheseashore #mybeachlife #mybeautifulife #found #discovered #discarded #tinysculpture #process (at Anglesea, Victoria)

This is one magical place and I am lucky to call it home. Whangarei Heads in Northland, NZ. Now, I am fortunate to share the majestic beauty of this place with others. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ From the 19th - 21st of January 2018, I am facilitating a retreat @ Toru Pani Sanctuary. Through asana practise, meditation and getting out exploring this incredible, unique place by hiking the bush, we will be taking the time to get back to our essential selves. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ All the details are at the website www.torupanisanctuary.com (link also in bio) or send me a DM. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆💜 #torupanisanctuary #whangareiheads #newzealand #aotearoa #yoga #meditation #hiking #practice #selfimprovement #selfdiscovery #takeyourtimeback #retreat #torupanisanctuaryretreat #newyear2018 #freshstart #recharge #whaeawhenua #intouch #natureisthebestmedicine #natureismedicineforthesoul #beach #bush #gardenmeditation #reflection #selflove #connection #shambhuti #grateful #myhomeisyourhome #comepractisewithme (at Whangarei Heads, New Zealand)

A teeny tiny work in progress. ⚠ patience required 😂 which is one of the reasons I do it!

Our new yard provides good eats! We've had many winged friends come up close, especially a pair of my faves, King Parrots. But this morning I was lucky enough to snap this Kookaburra on his way to snatch a bug.
